Services
Invisalign Spark
Our Invisalign Spark treatment offers a modern solution for straightening teeth without traditional braces. This clear aligner technology provides discreet, removable trays that gradually shift teeth into proper alignment. Patients appreciate the aesthetic benefits and convenience of removing aligners for eating and cleaning. Our orthodontists create customized treatment plans using advanced 3D imaging to ensure optimal results.
Damon Braces
Damon Braces represent an innovative approach to traditional orthodontic treatment. These self-ligating braces use a slide mechanism instead of elastic ties, reducing friction and allowing for more efficient tooth movement. Patients benefit from potentially shorter treatment times and fewer adjustment appointments. Our orthodontists combine this technology with personalized care to achieve excellent alignment results.
Clear Braces
Our clear braces option provides a more discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. Made from tooth-colored ceramic materials, these braces blend naturally with patients' smiles while maintaining effective orthodontic correction. Ideal for teens and adults seeking less visible treatment, our orthodontists customize each case to balance aesthetics with functional results.
Adult Orthodontics
We specialize in orthodontic solutions tailored for adult patients seeking improved dental alignment and bite function. Our practice offers discreet treatment options including clear aligners and ceramic braces that accommodate professional lifestyles. Our orthodontists address unique adult concerns like periodontal health and existing dental work while creating beautiful, lasting smiles.
Children Braces
Our children's orthodontic care focuses on early intervention and proper dental development. We provide comprehensive evaluations to determine optimal treatment timing and offer age-appropriate solutions including traditional braces and space maintainers. Our team creates positive experiences that establish lifelong oral health habits while correcting alignment issues.

The staff and doctors are always friendly, helpful and professional. Doctors and staff have excellent communication skills, explaining procedures and process clearly and in detail with my son and I. The Elmwood Park office is clean and seem well organized. We highly recommend Nudera Orthodontics.

I have had my braces with Dr. Nudera since October. Braces as an adult was not a fun thought for me but the doctors and the whole team at Nudera Orthodontics have made this whole process so easy and fast! I work a lot of hours and I can always get an appointment when I need one around my schedule. I am using acceledent so my teeth have moved really fast and with little pain which as an adult is another bonus! I couldn't be happier! My smile looks AMAZING and I owe it all to the great team here! I would highly recommend them to anyone (adult or child) looking for a top notch ortho!

They will take care of you! Pleasant people, they explain everything to you the way that it is. They know what they are doing and are very professional. It is not expensive either. I would recommend to a friend.
