LEARN ABOUT OUR TREATMENT

For many problems of the teeth, jaw and neck, it simply gets worse if you do not make it better. Malocclusion, or misalignment, is not just an aesthetic problem-it contributes to diseases of the teeth and gums, and causes discomfort that can express itself in fitful sleep, neck and back pain, bad posture, headaches, the inability to concentrate or worse. Proper alignment and function create greater resistance to disease, and form the foundation of both a beautiful smile and a sense of wellbeing and confidence.

A High Tech Practice

A highly sophisticated practice, we employ digital low-radiation scans and x-rays and the latest advances in the orthodontic medicine field, including self-ligating metal, clear brackets, Incognito lingual appliances (braces that go behind the teeth), and articulators (jaw simulators) to study each patient's malocclusion. We also work with other highly certified specialists, including periodontists, oral surgeons and restorative dentists, to treat more complicated cases.

We are boutique practice. All the work is done by Dr. Karpov, with the support of her highly trained staff. Dr. Karpov and her staff take continuing education classes to keep pace with the latest developments in orthodontic science and treatment. We also have an office in upper west side.
