Orthodontics Services in Queens, NY
Our orthodontics services in Queens, NY help children, teens, and adults address crowded teeth, gaps, and bite concerns. At PCO Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, Dr. Tiya Ungphakorn helps you compare early treatment, braces, and clear aligners so you can choose care that fits your smile and daily life.
Orthodontic Services for Kids, Teens, and Adults
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
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
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 Orthodontic Treatment (Phase 2)
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
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.
Teens Clear Aligners
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
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 Aligner
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.

Choosing an orthodontist means choosing a partner for months of care. At PCO, we explain your options, answer questions, and plan treatment around your needs, whether you’re booking your child’s first evaluation or considering braces yourself.
Board-Certified Orthodontic Specialist
Your care is guided by Dr. Tiya Ungphakorn, an orthodontist certified by the American Board of Orthodontics. Her specialist training focuses on tooth movement, jaw development, and bite correction, helping families make informed decisions about orthodontic treatment at every age.
The Right Timing for Growing Smiles
An orthodontic evaluation by age seven helps identify developing concerns, but it does not mean every child needs braces. We explain whether early treatment could help or whether monitoring growth is the appropriate next step for your child’s developing smile.
Braces and Clear Aligners Explained
Choosing between braces and clear aligners should feel straightforward. We discuss how each option works, daily cleaning needs, wear responsibilities, and suitability for your bite, so you can understand the recommendation and feel prepared before your orthodontic treatment gets started.
Support Throughout Your Orthodontic Care
Orthodontic care continues beyond the first appointment. We explain cleaning, appliance care, and what to expect at progress visits. When active treatment ends, retainer guidance helps you understand how to protect your new alignment and care for your smile afterward.
