PCO Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics provides personalized orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults in Queens, NY. Our board-certified orthodontist evaluates tooth position, bite alignment, and jaw development to understand the needs of each smile.

Every treatment plan is explained clearly so children, families, teens, and adults know what to expect from their care.
Orthodontics is a dental specialty focused on improving the position of the teeth and jaws. Treatment may address crooked teeth, crowding, unwanted spaces, overbites, underbites, crossbites, open bites, and other problems affecting how the teeth meet.
An orthodontist may use braces, clear aligners, expanders, retainers, or specialized appliances to guide teeth and support bite correction. Treatment planning differs for growing children, teenagers with developing smiles, and adults whose teeth and jaws are fully developed.
Board-Certified Orthodontist
Dr. Tiya Ungphakorn graduated from Chulalongkorn University College of Dentistry and served as a dental officer in the Royal Thai Navy. She later earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree and postgraduate certificate in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics from New York University College of Dentistry. She has also presented her work at professional dental and orthodontic meetings.
Dr. Tiya is board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics. She provides orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults, carefully considering tooth alignment, bite function, jaw development, oral health, and personal goals. Her approach focuses on clear communication, thoughtful planning, and treatment suited to each stage of dental development.
Orthodontic treatment is not the same for every smile. Our team carefully evaluates age, dental development, tooth position, jaw relationships, daily routine, and treatment goals before recommending an option.
Dr. Tiya is certified by the American Board of Orthodontics and has advanced training in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics.
We adjust evaluation and treatment planning for growing children, teenagers, and adults with established teeth and jaws in Queens.
Recommendations are based on tooth position, bite, jaw growth, oral health, daily routine, plus goals discussed during your visit.
Our pediatric dental and orthodontic teams communicate about tooth eruption, oral hygiene, dental needs, and developing alignment.

Early treatment addresses selected bite or spacing concerns while baby and permanent teeth are present. Dr. Tiya checks jaw growth and tooth development to determine whether your child needs treatment now or ongoing growth monitoring.
Kids braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into better positions. They can address crowding, gaps, and selected bite problems, with regular visits to monitor progress and support your child’s changing dental needs.
Kids clear aligners use removable trays to guide planned tooth movements in suitable cases. Dr. Tiya checks your child’s growth, bite, and readiness to wear aligners consistently before recommending this option for their developing smile
Comprehensive treatment aligns permanent teeth and improves how the upper and lower teeth meet. It may follow Phase 1 or be your teen’s first treatment, using braces or clear aligners suited to their individual needs.
Braces for teens gradually straighten crooked or crowded teeth and help correct bite problems. Fixed brackets and wires work throughout the day, while regular adjustments and clear cleaning instructions help teenagers stay involved in treatment.
Teen clear aligners offer a less noticeable way to straighten teeth using removable trays. They come out for meals and brushing, but consistent daily wear and regular progress checks are essential for achieving planned results.
Comprehensive adult treatment addresses overall tooth alignment and bite concerns rather than one isolated area. Dr. Tiya considers your gum health, existing dental work, and individual goals when planning care with braces or clear aligners.
Adult braces can correct crowded teeth, unwanted spaces, and bite concerns with controlled tooth movement. Treatment is planned around your oral health and existing dental work, with regular adjustments to guide progress toward your goals.
Adult clear aligners use discreet, removable trays to address suitable alignment and bite concerns. You remove them for eating and cleaning, then wear them as prescribed while Dr. Tiya monitors tooth movement throughout your treatment.
Different orthodontic concerns require different treatment approaches. Our services support tooth movement, bite correction, jaw development, and the long-term stability of orthodontic results. Dr. Tiya recommends an option after examining the teeth, bite, jaw relationship, and dental development.
Braces use brackets and archwires to apply steady, controlled pressure that gradually moves teeth. They can address crowding, spacing, crooked teeth, and many bite concerns.
Clear aligners use a planned series of removable trays to guide teeth into better positions. They offer a less noticeable option for selected children, teenagers and adults.
Retainers help secure teeth in their corrected positions after braces or aligners. Fixed and removable options are selected according to individual retention needs.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial orthodontic evaluation by age seven. This visit allows the orthodontist to check tooth eruption, crowding, bite development, and jaw growth. An early evaluation does not mean treatment must begin immediately.
Yes. PCO provides orthodontic care for children, teenagers, and adults. Treatment recommendations differ by age because growing children, teens with developing smiles, and adults with established teeth and jaws can have different orthodontic needs.
Both options can move teeth, but they differ in design, daily care, and the types of concerns they can address. Dr. Tiya will evaluate your bite, treatment complexity, age, lifestyle, and ability to follow wear instructions before recommending an option.
Treatment length depends on the type and complexity of the orthodontic concern, the appliance used, growth, and how closely care instructions are followed. Dr. Tiya can provide a more personalized estimate after completing the orthodontic evaluation.
Coverage depends on the individual insurance plan. Some plans provide orthodontic benefits for children, while others may also cover part of adult treatment. Our team can help you understand the information provided by your insurance carrier.
