About

Nestled in the vibrant and historic Gramercy Park neighborhood of Manhattan, Gramercy Orthodontics stands as a premier destination for advanced orthodontic care, renowned for its harmonious blend of clinical excellence, cutting-edge technology, and personalized patient experience. Founded and led by the highly respected Dr. Alexander D. Bienstock, the practice has built a sterling reputation for transforming smiles with precision, artistry, and a deeply compassionate approach. While the exact founding year is not publicly documented, the practice is well-established within the New York City dental community, known for its long-term commitment to the families and professionals of downtown Manhattan and beyond.

The mission of Gramercy Orthodontics is unequivocally patient-centered: to provide the highest standard of evidence-based orthodontic treatment in a warm, welcoming, and stress-free environment. Dr. Bienstock and his team operate on the philosophy that a beautiful, healthy smile is not just a cosmetic enhancement but a fundamental component of overall well-being and self-confidence. This holistic view drives every interaction, from the initial consultation to the final retainer check. The practice is dedicated to demystifying orthodontic treatment, ensuring patients of all ages are fully informed, comfortable, and active participants in their care journey.

Gramercy Orthodontics specializes in a comprehensive suite of orthodontic services tailored to meet diverse needs and aesthetic preferences. The practice is particularly distinguished by its expertise in discrete and efficient treatment modalities, with a significant focus on Invisalign clear aligners. Dr. Bienstock is a recognized Invisalign expert, having treated a vast number of cases with exceptional results, making the practice a sought-after location for adults and teens seeking a minimally visible alternative to traditional braces. Furthermore, the practice offers state-of-the-art self-ligating braces, such as Damon System braces, which often reduce treatment time and discomfort while promoting better oral hygiene.

What truly sets Gramercy Orthodontics apart is the unique value proposition delivered by Dr. Alexander Bienstock himself. A graduate of the prestigious University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine and a specialist trained in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics from the same institution, Dr. Bienstock brings a profound depth of knowledge to his practice. His expertise is complemented by a meticulous, artistic eye for detail, ensuring that each treatment plan is customized not only to achieve perfect dental alignment but also to enhance the patient's unique facial aesthetics for a naturally stunning result. The practice's use of advanced digital technology, including iTero intraoral scanners for precise, impression-free digital models and panoramic X-rays, allows for highly accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, enhancing predictability and comfort.

The practice environment itself is a key differentiator. Stepping into the office at 200 E 15th St is a departure from the typical clinical setting. The space is designed to be calming, modern, and friendly, immediately putting patients at ease. The team is consistently praised in patient reviews for being exceptionally attentive, knowledgeable, and kind, fostering a sense of trust and community. This focus on the entire patient experience—from the ease of scheduling appointments in the heart of Gramercy to the thoughtful follow-up care—creates a loyal patient base that often spans generations within families. Gramercy Orthodontics is not merely a place where braces are adjusted; it is a trusted partner in achieving lifelong oral health and confidence, setting a gold standard for personalized, technologically advanced orthodontic care in New York City.

Gramercy Orthodontics is the best! I had to help my patient find a new orthodontic home when they relocated to New York City and I referred them to Gramercy Orthodontics. Dr Elaahi and Dr. Berk have been very communicative. They along with their staff have made this a seamless transition for the patient. The feedback from my patient about their experience has been wonderful and they are so pleased with the progress of their treatment. Keep up the outstanding work!

Dr. Barry has been incredibly accommodating to my schedule, even going so far as to come into the office outside of regular hours. I truly couldn’t ask for a better orthodontist. I’m so grateful for the care and dedication you’ve shown throughout my treatment. My teeth look amazing and feel so much better. I highly recommend Dr. Barry and his team!

As a fellow orthodontist, I’ve had the privilege of knowing the doctors at Gramercy Orthodontics in Manhattan professionally for years and their commitment to quality care is unmatched. They are meticulous clinicians, thoughtful communicators, and just truly wonderful people. NYC patients are incredibly lucky to have them within walking distance. My oldest brother lives in Manhattan and when he called and asked for the best orthodontist in the city, I told him Gramercy Orthodontics without hesitation.
