Why families love Tribeca North Dentistry

I have never felt better about taking my kids to the dentist than I have at Tribeca Dentistry. My kids had cavities and Dr. Ela walked them through the process without a hitch. The staff is the friendliest I have ever met and the place is immaculate. I am in the HealthCare business myself and I recommend Tribeca Dentistry with the highest regards!!!

Dr Lee was fabulous with my kids. He knew exactly how to keep them calm and having fun during their dental cleanings and explained everything very clearly to both me and the kids. Highly recommend him for pediatric dentistry!

I took my son here for his first visit at 2.5 years old. We had a great experience! Overall he left with a positive impression of the dentist visit and it was as much as I could hope for. Dr. Lee answered all of my questions and the staff was incredibly helpful; I never felt rushed.

We came in for my toddler’s first dental visit. The doctor immediately greeted us, and did everything they could to make my child feel comfortable. They were very gentle during the examination, and explained to us thoroughly what they were doing and answered any questions we had.

My son has autism and the doctors have been nothing short of amazing and caring with my son. He enjoys going to the Dentist and his dental hygiene has improved from the positive experiences he has had! We travel to Tribeca from queens just for them.

Dr. Ta really knows what she is doing! Due to bad experiences with other orthodontists in the past/as a teenager, I was really nervous about needing adult braces. Luckily, Dr. Ta is super understanding/patient and knowledgeable/skilled. I can't recommend her enough! Scheduling has always been easy, too.

Enjoy straighter smiles in Tribeca

What are braces?

Who's the best candidate for braces?

Who's the best candidate for braces?

Oral Hygiene

Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial. Brush your teeth after every meal and floss daily. We recommend using a special orthodontic toothbrush and interdental brushes to clean around your braces.

Diet

Avoid hard, sticky, and sugary foods that can damage your braces. Opt for softer foods like yogurt, pasta, and steamed vegetables. Cut fruits and crunchy vegetables into smaller pieces.

Comfort

It’s normal to feel some discomfort after getting braces or following adjustments. Over-the-counter pain relief and orthodontic wax can help alleviate soreness and irritation.

Frequently asked questions

How long will I need to wear braces?

The duration of orthodontic treatment varies depending on individual needs. On average, treatment lasts between 18 and 24 months. Your orthodontist will provide a more accurate timeline during your consultation.

Are braces painful?

You might experience some discomfort, especially after adjustments. This is normal and typically subsides within a few days. Our team will provide tips on managing any soreness you might experience.

Can adults get braces?

Absolutely! Braces are effective for adults as well as children and teenagers. Age is not a barrier to achieving a straighter smile.

How do I care for my braces?

Maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. Avoid hard and sticky foods, and visit our office for regular adjustments and check-ups.

What if a bracket or wire breaks?

If you experience any issues with your braces, such as a broken bracket or loose wire, contact us immediately. We'll schedule an appointment to fix the problem and ensure your treatment stays on track.
