About
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood, Karpov Orthodontics stands as a premier destination for exceptional orthodontic care, blending advanced clinical expertise with a deeply personalized and comfortable patient experience. Founded and led by Dr. Julia Karpov, the practice is built on a philosophy that orthodontic treatment is not merely a medical procedure but a transformative journey that enhances confidence, health, and overall well-being. Dr. Karpov's vision was to create a practice that defies the sterile, impersonal feel often associated with dental visits, instead offering a warm, welcoming, and modern environment where patients of all ages feel heard, valued, and excited about their smiles.
Dr. Julia Karpov's academic and professional journey laid a formidable foundation for the practice. After graduating with honors from her dental program, she pursued specialized orthodontic training at a top-tier institution, where she mastered the latest techniques and technologies. Her commitment to excellence is evident in her meticulous approach to diagnosis and treatment planning, viewing each case as a unique puzzle requiring a custom-tailored solution. This patient-centric methodology ensures that treatments are not only effective but also efficient and aligned with each individual's lifestyle and goals. The practice's history is one of steady growth rooted in reputation, with a significant portion of new patients arriving through enthusiastic referrals from existing patients and local general dentists who trust Dr. Karpov's skill and judgment.
The mission of Karpov Orthodontics is multifaceted: to provide the highest standard of evidence-based orthodontic care, to educate and empower patients throughout their treatment journey, and to build lasting relationships within the New York community. This mission transcends straightening teeth; it focuses on achieving optimal oral function, facial harmony, and stable, healthy results that last a lifetime. The practice specializes in a comprehensive range of services, including traditional metal braces, discreet ceramic braces, and the full spectrum of clear aligner therapies, with a particular emphasis on Invisalign. Dr. Karpov is recognized as a top-tier Invisalign provider, having successfully treated hundreds of complex cases, from simple crowding to significant bite corrections using the clear aligner system.
What truly sets Karpov Orthodontics apart is its fusion of cutting-edge technology with genuine, compassionate care. The office is equipped with state-of-the-art digital tools, such as intraoral scanners that replace messy traditional impressions, digital X-rays for minimized radiation exposure, and advanced imaging software that allows patients to visualize their potential treatment outcomes through smile simulations. This technological investment translates into greater precision, comfort, and predictability for every patient. However, the practice's unique value proposition lies equally in its atmosphere and team culture. The staff is carefully selected for both their professional competence and their empathetic, friendly demeanor, ensuring that every interaction—from the initial consultation to routine adjustments and final retainer checks—is positive and supportive.
Furthermore, the practice distinguishes itself through its dedication to treating both children and adults. The team excels in early interceptive treatment for younger patients, guiding jaw growth and creating space for permanent teeth to avoid more extensive treatment later. For adults, they understand the specific aesthetic concerns and time constraints, offering discreet options and flexible appointment scheduling. This dual expertise makes Karpov Orthodontics a true family practice. Ultimately, the practice's greatest differentiator is Dr. Karpov herself—her artistic eye for detail, her relentless pursuit of the ideal result for every patient, and her unwavering commitment to creating a stress-free, even enjoyable, orthodontic experience in the heart of New York City.

Customer Reviews
Dr Karpov runs a wonderful practice. Knowledgeable, patient, and we are lucky to have her practice in our neighborhood though I would make the effort to travel if she wasn’t! She takes the care to make sure all her patients get the results they want. Her staff are kind, efficient, and very professional. Scheduling is efficient, messages are returned quickly, and costs are laid out clearly. We have nothing but positive things to say!
I can't say enough awesome things about Dr Karpov and her entire team.
My case was a little more complex (upper jaw expansion) and, I was just amazed by the incredible result of her treatment.
Dr Karpov is an absolutely brilliant orthodontist - highly skilled, ultra competent and thorough. It's also apparent that she is very passionate about her work and cares for her patients.
Her entire staff is kind, attentive and professional as well.

I can't recommend Dr Karpov enough.
Top-notch all around.
Best orthodontist in NYC! After years of unsuccessful braces with other orthodontists, I finally found Dr. Karpov — and she truly transformed my smile. Through expansion and Invisalign at 23, she helped me achieve the results I’d been wanting for years. Her entire team is incredible, and the office is modern, welcoming, and spotless.
When I was worried about a gap showing during expansion, they even did temporary bonding so it wasn’t noticeable — a total game-changer. The whole process has been amazing, and I’d recommend Dr. Karpov to everyone. My mom is now working with her too!
I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Dr. Karpov’s office. From the very first appointment, she took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel completely comfortable with my treatment plan. You can tell she really cares about her patients.
The staff is incredibly friendly and professional, and the office is always clean, modern, and welcoming. Appointments run on time, and the whole process has been smooth and stress-free.
Most importantly, the results speak for themselves—my smile has never looked better! If you’re looking for an orthodontist who’s skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely dedicated to helping you get the best outcome, I highly recommend Dr. Karpov.
When first entering Karpov Orthodontics, we felt completely assured that we were in good hands. The beautifully designed office has a welcoming, modern atmosphere, with high tech equipment, fine art on the walls, and an expert staff that listen attentively to your needs. Helmed by Dr. Maria Karpov, her experience and training make her one of the best orthodontists in New York. We brought our 8 year-old daughter for treatment and she felt instantly at ease due to Dr. Karpov's excellent care, as well as that of her colleagues and staff. In fact, to our astonishment, our daughter looked forward to each follow up appointment! I can't recommend Karpov Orthodontics enough either for adults or for your child.
