Head down. Blinders on. In the zone. This is my happy place.
Even on the busiest of days, no matter what the outside world throws at me, the patient in front of me always gets 💯% of my attention.

Today’s #smiledesign is a really memorable one for me. At a time when most docs (and still some) believed that #Invisalign couldn’t effectively change bites or move the roots of teeth through bone, I had seen enough evidence to believe contrary. After having worked with Invisalign since 2007, this was my most challenging case to date and the one that really pushed me to take my skill level to Expert. As docs, we are constantly looking for ways to improve our care and to stay up to date with advances. Over the last few years, I have spent hundreds (if not thousands) of hours taking courses, reviewing case studies, studying my own work, and observing and collaborating with colleagues to be able to confidently say that our team can treat almost any patient with Invisalign just as well as we can with braces. Irina found us online way back when we first opened our doors and for 2 years, travelled 3 hours each way to our office from her home in eastern Long Island. She wasn’t too excited about getting braces as an adult, but wanted to improve her smile. She had the perfect laid back personality, and we agreed to give it a try with Invisalign. The results (and her stellar compliance) speak for themselves. Congratulations Irina and thank you 🙏🏼 for bringing me a challenge that pushed me to be able to help so many more people. Some things to note:
➖we corrected the crowding of the teeth ➖widened the smile
➖increased the show of the lower front teeth
➖ perfected an imbalanced bite
➖cosmetically reshaped worn uneven edges of teeth
➖notice how much brighter the teeth appear when straight even without whitening
➖notice how much healthier the teeth and gums appear after straightening. #freshorthobk #invisalign #invisalignbeforeandafter

Fun with Phase I! 🤩🤩 Early treatment is often a conversation that needs clarification with a lot of parents. It’s primarily focused on orthopedic growth and development of the face and jaws. Phase I treatments are generally shorter in duration and interventional in nature to get growth back on track. Not every child needs a first phase of treatment, and we generally monitor those children 1 or 2 times a year to make sure growth is staying on track. When Phase I treatment is performed, it’s generally followed by a 2nd phase of braces in later adolescent years to align all the adult teeth. Think of it as Phase I is for the jaws, and Phase II is for the teeth. The biggest benefit for kids is that early intervention, when indicated, can significantly reduce the need for extractions of adult teeth for crowding, surgical exposure of impacted teeth, and major jaw surgeries during the comprehensive stage of braces. That’s a win in anyone’s book! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 💫Take a look at Elle’s fantastic Phase I result with upper braces and an expander! Some things to note:
➖ we widened the upper jaw to help improve the bite in the back.
➖ we reduced the crowding of the upper front teeth.
➖ we closed the open bite (brought the front teeth together)
➖ we widened the smile and improved the amount of tooth display in the smile. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that we begin screening children as early as 7 years old. Call to schedule your complimentary initial consultation. No referral is necessary.

☀️😎Summer is winding down (too soon IMO), and as we turn our attention to 📚back-to-school, 🎃☕️ pumpkin spice everything, and 🍁 hooded sweatshirts, parents are thinking about orthodontics for their kiddos. While #braces are the most familiar option, a lot of parents are surprised that #Invisalign is a good option for kids and teens. It is...And it provides a lot of benefits for busy kids in NYC. Mainly, fewer appointments in our office⌚️, less food restrictions🍿🍭, and an easier way to keep teeth clean🦷. Does that mean Invisalign is a good option for every kid? Not necessarily. Teeth don’t move if they don’t wear their aligners. They’re 💯 % guaranteed not to work in a book bag. You know your kids better than we do, so here are some things to look for to see if your child is a good candidate for Invisalign. -How is your child doing in school? -Are they pretty organized, or do you have to chase them down the street to hand them their backpack in the morning?
-Do they generally keep their room organized and help around the house? (Hint: hey kids, your teeth move faster if you help your parents with the dishes.) Basically, kids who are generally responsible are great candidates for Invisalign, and our younger patients generally do way better than many of our adult patients. Conference calls and power lunches don’t seem to be an issue in middle school. Who knew??! 🤷🏻‍♂️ Since teeth don’t know if a metal brace or a plastic aligner is pushing them, Dr. Khanna takes great care in custom programming each aligner to make sure every patient gets an excellent result whether its with braces or Invisalign. Take a look at this week’s smile transformation to see what we can do for kids with Invisalign! Jaden presented with severe crowding and blocked out upper canines, crossbite on the left, and an improper bite. Note that we:
➖widened his smile within the lips
➖created room for the upper canines without extracting any teeth.
➖corrected the crossbite on the left side
➖improved the bite Also note:
➖we can’t take any credit for him being a really cute kiddo to begin with. #freshorthobk #parkslope #brooklyn #newyorkcity

On today’s edition of “When Teeth Go Rogue,” we’re talking about impacted teeth (when an adult tooth gets stuck in the jaw).
.
When Lacey came to us, her family’s biggest concern was that her canine tooth had gone off course and gotten stuck in her upper jaw. While there are some interventions that can be done earlier in childhood to help reduce the likelihood of canines getting stuck, sometimes we have work with what nature gives us.
.
With the help of an oral surgeon, we had the primary canine (baby tooth) removed and had the adult canine uncovered to allow us to manually pull the tooth into place using braces. Sure, a lot of that doesn’t sound so exciting, but for young people, the prognosis to get impacted teeth in the mouth is generally very good. And it’s well worth the effort to have a healthy and balanced smile that will last a lifetime.
.
Take a look Lacey’s amazing result for yourself! Swipe ➡️➡️➡️
.
Note that we:
➖widened the smile within the lips
➖increased the vertical show of the front teeth when smiling
➖improved the fit of the bite
➖brought the impacted canine into appropriate alignment
➖gained some beautiful hand-made artwork from an insanely talented young lady! (We’re humbled for such a thoughtful gift. 🙏🏼)
.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends we begin screening children as early as 7 years old to evaluate facial and jaw growth and development, checking for growing teeth that may cause future problems (like impactions), and detecting trouble areas that may not be visible on the type of x-rays taken by your primary dentist.
.
Our consultations are always complimentary and no referral is necessary.

So much more goes into planning a successful smile transformation than just straightening teeth. 😁 A well-planned treatment takes into account the position of the teeth within the lips and face 👄, the size and shape of individual teeth 🦷 , and even the contours of the gum line. .
This patient came to us because she wanted to improve the crowding in her smile. And when evaluating her esthetics, we noticed several areas that caught our attention:
.
➖Her midline was shifted to the right, giving the appearance that her front tooth was centered with her face.
➖She had large shadows framing the sides of the teeth within the lips.
➖Her lateral incisor was blocked out of alignment into the roof of the mouth. .
After evaluating the shapes of the teeth and the contours of the gum line, we chose to go with a fairly uncommon, but pragmatic, plan to:
.
➖extract the incisor from the roof of the mouth to be as discreet as possible with visible spacing. ➖extract a premolar on the left side to allow us to center the smile with the face and improve the bite.
➖cosmetically reshape the right canine to match the lateral incisor on the left side. ➖widen the arch form of the smile to reduce shadows. .
And like that, we were able to design and create a fresh smile for a truly wonderful patient! 🤩🤩 #freshorthobk #transormationtuesday #beforeandafter #smile
