About

Manhattan Family Orthodontics-Downtown, located at the prestigious 11 5th Ave at the gateway to Greenwich Village, stands as a cornerstone of specialized dental care in New York City. Founded on the principle that a beautiful, healthy smile is a fundamental component of overall well-being and confidence, this practice has cultivated a reputation for clinical excellence, compassionate patient care, and a family-centric approach in the heart of one of the world's most demanding urban landscapes. The practice is built around the understanding that orthodontic treatment is not merely a medical procedure but a transformative journey, and they are dedicated to guiding patients of all ages through that process with expertise, support, and a touch of New York sophistication. The practice's philosophy is deeply rooted in the belief that exceptional orthodontics blends art and science—the art of creating aesthetically harmonious smiles that complement an individual's unique facial features, and the science of precise biomechanics and long-term oral health.

At the helm of Manhattan Family Orthodontics is a team of highly trained specialists whose mission extends beyond straightening teeth. Their core mission is to provide personalized, evidence-based orthodontic care in a warm, welcoming, and modern environment. They strive to demystify orthodontic treatment, ensuring every patient and family is an informed and active participant in their care plan. This commitment to education and transparency sets the foundation for trust and outstanding results. The practice distinguishes itself through a genuine 'family' ethos, expertly treating children, adolescents, and adults with the same high level of attention and care. For children, they focus on early intervention and growth guidance. For teens, they offer treatment options that align with active lifestyles. For adults, they provide discreet and efficient solutions to correct lifelong concerns or relapses, understanding the specific social and professional needs of their adult clientele.

What truly sets Manhattan Family Orthodontics-Downtown apart is its seamless integration of cutting-edge technology with personalized, attentive service. The practice is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, including digital iTero scanners that eliminate the need for messy traditional impressions, and advanced digital imaging that allows for precise treatment planning and virtual outcome simulations. This technological prowess enables more accurate treatments, shorter appointment times, and the ability to offer a full spectrum of modern orthodontic solutions, from traditional braces to clear ceramic braces and a comprehensive range of clear aligner therapies, including Invisalign. Their expertise in Invisalign treatment is particularly notable, serving patients seeking a virtually invisible method to achieve their ideal smile.

The practice's unique value proposition is its combination of premier Manhattan location, a holistic approach to patient experience, and unwavering clinical standards. From the sleek, comfortable office designed to reduce anxiety to the dedicated team that remembers every patient's name and story, the environment is intentionally crafted to feel like an oasis. The orthodontists are not only credentialed experts but also empathetic communicators who take the time to explain every detail. They collaborate closely with general dentists and other specialists to ensure integrated oral healthcare. In a city filled with options, Manhattan Family Orthodontics-Downtown carves its niche by rejecting a one-size-fits-all, assembly-line approach. Instead, they champion customized treatment plans, predictable outcomes, and a supportive relationship that often turns patients into lifelong advocates. They are not just creating straight smiles; they are boosting self-esteem and contributing to the long-term dental health of New York City's diverse families, one beautiful smile at a time.

As a grandma in my 50s, I did not expect to need an orthodontist. Especially, since I already went through my braces era in my teens. I could not have chosen a better orthodontics group than Manhattan Family Orthodontics. Dr. Togias is not only an expert in his field. But, the way he treats his patients, young and old, makes you feel like a long time friend. I was nervous to start on this journey again after so many years. But, between Dr. Togias and his amazing staff, I felt comfortable and confident during and after each visit. Stepping into the office, I was always greeted by the friendly, extremely efficient front desk staff. The office is spotless and organized. Every member of the office team is knowledgeable, helpful and warm. I had the best experience here and ended up with wonderful, remarkable results, beyond what I expected. I thank every single staff member for everything that they did to make this a pleasant experience for me. Anyone who makes the decision to choose Manhattan Family Orthodontics will not be disappointed!

Dr Togias and his staff are wonderful. I transferred my failed Invisalign from another office and every issue was fixed! Could not be happier with the results and the process…they did what others couldn’t. The best of the best!
