Committing to a multi-year orthodontic treatment means picking a practice you will see a lot. New York's orthodontic clinics on this page have logged close to 4,700 Google reviews between them, and review counts swing widely, from 528 up to over 1,500, so the biggest name is not automatically the only strong option.

Short answer: Manhattan Bridge Orthodontics leads with 4.9 stars across 1,542 reviews, the deepest track record on this page, running braces and Invisalign out of the Bowery and Flushing. Close behind, The Exchange Dental Group holds the same 4.9 rating across 1,270 reviews in the Financial District. None of the practices here published a specific treatment price we could verify.

Watch: 5 Best Orthodontic Clinics in New York (2026)

Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How we score these clinics

Rating is the practice’s live Google average. Review volume measures how many patients have rated them against every other orthodontic-adjacent practice we checked across New York. Confidence blends rating with volume, since a high score on a handful of reviews carries less weight than the same score across over a thousand. Recency tracks how recently people are still leaving reviews. No practice can pay to change any of these numbers.

How much do braces or Invisalign cost in New York? (2026)

Orthodontic treatment cost in New York depends on case complexity, whether you choose traditional braces or clear aligners, and insurance coverage. None of the practices on this page published a specific price we could verify, so we are not listing figures here. Ask for a written treatment plan and quote before committing, since pricing is typically based on your individual case.

Serving Lower Manhattan and beyond

Most of the practices on this page cluster in Lower Manhattan, from the Financial District and Tribeca out to the Bowery, with one also running a Flushing, Queens location. If you are searching for an orthodontist near me in New York and work downtown, all of them are realistically reachable on foot or a short subway ride from the Financial District.

What to ask before choosing an orthodontic clinic

  • Is your case suited to traditional braces, or would clear aligners like Invisalign work?
  • How many total appointments does your specific treatment plan involve?
  • Does the practice accept your insurance, and what is the out-of-pocket estimate?
  • Is the same orthodontist assigned throughout treatment, or does it rotate?
  • What happens if a retainer or aligner breaks mid-treatment?
  • Are evening or weekend appointments available for your schedule?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these orthodontic clinics?

We pulled real Google ratings and review counts for practices offering orthodontic treatment across New York, then ranked by a blend of rating, review volume, and recent activity.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects data verified in July 2026 and is refreshed periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Can adults get braces or Invisalign at these practices?

Yes, all five practices on this page treat adult patients, with several reviewers describing full adult Invisalign treatments completed start to finish.

Is evening or weekend care available?

Expert Dental, Tribeca is open seven days a week with evening hours, per its own site, and several other practices offer weekend appointments.

Are any of these practices accessible for patients with mobility needs?

Zen Dentistry, FiDi has at least one reviewer specifically describing accessible, accommodating treatment as a wheelchair user.

The bottom line

Manhattan Bridge Orthodontics is the safe default for braces or Invisalign in New York, backed by the deepest review history on this page and dedicated orthodontic specialists. If you want orthodontics handled alongside your other dental care in one place, The Exchange Dental Group is a close second. Either way, get a written treatment plan before committing to a length or price.
