Contact UsEveryone, especially our children, deserves access to quality orthodontic care. Crooked teeth, overcrowding, underbites, and overbites can cause a lifetime of painful and expensive dental problems, not to mention the impact these issues can have on self-esteem.
Over the years, we have seen many children across the Capital Region who suffer from severe dental issues that can only be solved by braces. Unfortunately, many insurance providers don’t cover the cost, and as a result, families that can’t afford to pay out of pocket are forced to forego treatment for their children.
At Adirondack Orthodontics, we find this to be unacceptable – and we decided to do something about it by investing in the lives of local children in our community who need a helping hand. During the holiday season, we provided a gift that will truly put a smile on their faces: giving away free braces to children in need.
We were proud to team up with Smiles Change Lives, an international nonprofit that helps provide orthodontic treatment for kids whose parents can’t afford the full cost of braces. After more than 100 children were screened for eligibility, 25 were chosen to receive treatment. With a value of $150,000, this is the largest-ever donation of braces to kids in the Capital Region.
To Dr. Sergey Berenshteyn and the caring professionals that are part of our team, the value of this program was priceless. We saw firsthand how much a healthy smile could change a child’s life, and took great joy in turning dreams into reality for so many worthy children and wonderful families.
This type of community support typifies what Adirondack Orthodontics is all about. We believe every patient should receive caring, personalized attention and custom orthodontic solutions using the most advanced equipment. Regardless of your economic situation, you can be assured of receiving the highest level of care from our team.
Nothing should stand between you or your child and straight, beautiful teeth. We encourage you to contact us to learn more about our interest-free payment options, flexible payment plans, and discounts, and to schedule your free initial consultation. Click here to get started!

Learn about our affordable orthodontic options
Traditional views of orthodontic treatment often evoke feelings of a daunting undertaking. Bulky braces, multiple appliances, poor aesthetics and high treatment cost are the perceived norm. However, in today’s world, this couldn’t be further from the truth.
Technological advancements have reduced the size of braces, improved the efficiency of wires, improved patient comfort, and greatly improved aesthetics. Further breakthroughs in clear aligner treatment, such as, Invisalign, has provided an additional level of flexibility for those seeking superior aesthetics.
These positive changes to orthodontic appliances have made orthodontic treatment less invasive, allowing for fewer and shorter appointments; because of this, the cost of treatment is assessed based on the individual treatment rather than the traditional model which priced treatment to the hardest cases. With more treatment option and reduced treatment cost, there has also been a positive effect on access to orthodontic care as a whole.
Here at Adirondack Orthodontics, we pride ourselves on our ability to limit the perceived barriers to achieving the beautiful smile people want and desire. To better serve our patients, we participate with most insurances, help our patients plan their Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), and offer a variety of flexible payment plans.
