We had an amazing experience with Royal Orthodontics. The whole team was always caring, professional, direct, accommodating, and just fun sweet people overall! And my daughter's teeth look gorgeous! read more

While we were visiting NYC, we had a bit of an emergency with braces wires causing discomfort and mouth pain. Dr. Royal and the staff were super helpful and friendly, offering to help cut the wires despite us not being an existing patient. We made a last-minute appointment, and the procedure was quick and pain-free. We are grateful for their generosity, care, and service. Definitely would recommend them to anyone. Thank you! read more

Dr. Popper has been amazing! He has helped me correct my teeth in a very short time and has been super supportive through the process. I'd definitely recommend Royal Orthotics to anyone looking to get a perfect smile! read more

Dr Royal and her team are amazing. I needed my teeth realigned to prevent grinding and my dentist recommended Dr. Royal. Invisalign was a great choice. The staff has to be the nicest in New York City. My teeth no longer grind and they look nice and straight. 10/10 would recommend read more

Royal Orthodontics is one of, if not the, top orthodontic offices in the city. I visited solely to get a new retainer, but the entire team made me feel like a long-term patient. Special thanks to Dr. Popper for being so thorough and kind. Highly recommend! read more

The original treatment plan was never to retract teeth. Perhaps that's the crux issue- you were doing your own thing. My picture was removed . read more

You will not find a more friendly and respectful group of people. From the front desk to the exam chair, the experience is warm and personal. The quality of care is A+ and I am beyond thrilled with my results. I very much appreciate that they explained everything they were doing and why. I've now finished my treatment and can say, walking out, everyone seemed genuinely happy for me and my new smile! I highly recommend and special shout out to Dr. Popper who is just a gem. Thank you! read more

I'm not even finished with treatment but wanted to give positive feedback after only week 15! I have already noticed a REMARKABLE difference in the alignment of my front bottom teeth and I couldn't be happier! I have night retainers that I previously used to use for top and bottom; I compared them to my current trays. A huge difference already! I'm so excited to see the finished product! I am currently being seen by Dr. Popper who is wonderful! He explains everything thoroughly. All the office staff are great. You have the capability of texting the office with any questions or concerns and they answer promptly and are so friendly. This is a wonderful way to communicate with the office. I would highly recommend this practice to family and friends without hesitation! read more

Update: Our daughter's treatment has concluded and we are thrilled with the results. She had a complicated case and now has a beautiful smile. If we could give 10 stars, we would! Dr. Royal and the entire staff are simply the best!! read more

Royal Orthodontics - Orthodontists Near Me - New York, New York

My treatment at Royal Orthodontics was an amazing experience! Dr. Royal went over the treatment plan with me during my initial consultation and provided a realistic timeline. Even when my treatment required a few additional adjustments, I never felt rushed to complete my treatment! Amber at the front desk makes every office visit feel so warm and personalized! I am so happy with my new smile and my experience at Royal Orthodontics! read more

I came only to dropoff candy for their Halloween donation program thus only a front desk interaction, but it is easy to discern the nature of a dental practice from just the front desk. I have almost a dozen dental practice interactions in the last 1y with my children during which I learned that pediatric dentistry in the city is truly awful. I suspect economic reasons of undersupply and over demand enable power to the supplier. Anyways, I am thus sensitive to and experienced in the administration as a determinant of other overall practice credibility. A cherry airy both architectural design and attitude from the thankful staff suggests excellent conditions. Happier staff do better work which you want in a dentistry practice! I also noticed snacks and free drinks for patients in the sun drenched lobby. I emailed secretary Amber to check on the donation program. She within the hour reply that they were accepting candy for donation to the troops shipping in 2d. I quickly the next business day got myself over here to their storefront which is extremely easy to find as the address, while on 21st Street, actually has its entry door on 2 Av thus easy walk from major M15+ and M34A stops. read more

It has been a long journey, and I am glad I have chosen Dr. Royal and her team. The experience is great and the result is great. Not to mention a big part of this was during the pandemic. Almost no wait time for every appointment, the service has always been prompt and courteous, and you always get the attention that you deserve. A special shout out to Amber and Agnes. Amber mans the front desk and handles the administrative stuff, always nice and pleasant. Agnes has helped me in more than 90% of my appointments. She has stellar skills and great manner, and is always super friendly. Can't recommend them enough! read more

I sought treatment with Dr. Jamie Royal in 2016 for a cosmetic dental issue related to congenitally missing upper lateral incisors. At the time, I had already undergone orthodontic canine substitution, which left me unsatisfied and self-conscious about my appearance. This decision came after spending my childhood and mid-teenage years struggling with missing teeth and the resulting negative self-image. Looking back, my teeth and gums were at least very healthy and in a stable position. Dr. Royal assured me that she could reverse the canine substitution and provide enough space for dental implants, but, unfortunately, the outcome has been far from what was promised. Despite an insufficient jaw width for the necessary implant space, Dr. Royal proceeded with the treatment. During the treatment process, Dr. Royal pushed my teeth into an unstable position and removed a significant amount of enamel. As a result, my teeth became unnaturally flared and extruded out of my jaw, and I experienced pain and discomfort from the high forces and occlusal misalignment. My concerns were not adequately addressed during this time, and the treatment was never deemed unsuccessful by Dr. Royal. I was in a difficult situation and eventually walked away from the treatment, leaving me confused about what had just happened and where to go. It has now been seven years since I began treatment with Dr. Royal, and I am still dealing with the consequences of her actions. I have irreversible damage to my teeth, including extensive root resorption, bone loss, gum recession, occlusal trauma, teeth fractures, and chronic insomnia. My jaw never rests in a comfortable position. Some of my teeth have lost half of their roots, making them extremely loose and at risk of falling out. This damage has made it difficult for me to receive any further treatment, as additional procedures could potentially cause more harm or tooth loss. I've seen several doctors and all said there is a good chance I will lose several teeth in the future especially if I plan to do another round of ortho. I cannot fully express the emotional toll this experience has taken on me. The complications and ongoing issues with my dental health have caused me immense frustration, and I feel like my life has been severely impacted. My self-esteem and confidence have suffered greatly, and I have missed out on many opportunities and experiences because of the dental problems I now face. Imagine going to a job interview, or on a date, or just existing in society with the teeth shown in the pictures. Additionally, this failed treatment has not only cost me in terms of my health and quality of life, but also financially. The subsequent consultations with other doctors including orthodontists, periodontists, and cosmetic dentists along with multiple trays to allow my teeth to slowly relapsed have costed me in the tens of thousands. This financial strain further exacerbates the stress and disappointment I have endured as a result of this process. I have included photos and X-rays as evidence of the damage caused by the treatment. I feel that I was misdiagnosed and misled by Dr. Royal. I share this review in hopes of raising awareness about the potential risks of dental treatments and the importance of seeking multiple opinions before proceeding with any procedure. I implore you to trust your gut instinct. At the beginning of my treatment, I found it hard to see how it would be possible to obtain the needed spaces without surgery, but I proceeded with blind faith due to Dr. Royal's credentials and confidence. I hope others can learn from my experience to avoid the pain and suffering I have endured. Please be cautious when choosing a dental professional and ensure that you fully understand the proposed treatment plan before proceeding. read more

See all

I love it here! Nice folks. Great service. My teeth are straight and my heart is warm. Thanks thanks thanks! read more

Dr Royal and staff are amazing! Everyone is friendly, appointments are on time and the outcome is wonderful. Two of my three children have perfect teeth after flawless treatment and are more than happy to show off their smiles. The youngest is looking forward to his orthodontia soon. We highly recommend Royal Orthodontics! read more

We had such an amazing experience at Royal Orthodontics! From the consulation and through the whole process of braces. The staff is friendly, helpful, and was always responsive to any question I had. My son(was age 13 when he got braces) went to every appointment alone! He was so comfortable and so well taken care of. Dr. Royal is above and beyond, and I highly reccomdend her! In addition to my son, I have two older children who also had braces. I only wish someone had told me about Royal Orthodontics back then! read more

This review of Royal Orthodontics is a long read, because it's long overdue! Not only is Dr. Royal an orthodontist of the highest caliber, she and her team represent one of the best businesses I have ever patronized, regardless of industry, due to their professionalism, efficiency, and tremendous hospitality. Beginning a braces journey as an adult is a very humbling experience. I had grown very accustomed to taking pictures and smiling without showing any teeth. Dr. Royal assured me that I deserved (and would have) a smile that I could show off. With each visit I slowly saw my teeth transform and while my process took longer than the time originally prescribed, Dr. Royal made me feel at ease, because I knew that she wanted to get my teeth just right. She was extremely meticulous about what to do and what needed to happen with the rewiring of my teeth and the bands. I mean this with the utmost respect, but she is a complete nerd about teeth, and seeing her passion made me know that I was at the right place and in the right hands. I was also under their care during COVID and my wife sensed my love for Royal Orthodontics because it was one of the only appointments I would leave my house for. Agnes was a huge part of my journey and always was very knowledgeable, attentive, and thoughtful and I was fortunate to be under her care. She is one of a kind! Lorraine and Christian also helped me along the way and were always amazing. Amber was the familiar face that greeted me at the door and always made me feel welcome. I cannot say enough about Dr. Royal and her team. She fulfilled her promise. I smile frequently and she has set me up for success, now that my braces are off and I've moved on to retainers. I highly recommend Royal Orthodontics. read more

It's finally the end of my journey, and I could not have done this without Dr. Royal and her team! I had double jaw surgery (covered by my medical insurance) and I'm posting this to share my story. I hope it helps others that are considering surgery. I had a team of 3 providers during this intensive process: Dr. Royal for orthodontic treatment to align my teeth, Dr. Leo Paige as the oral surgeon to extract my teeth (covered by my insurance) and Dr. Gwendolyn Reeve who performed the 6+ hour surgery (she is an incredibly skilled surgeon). Dr. Paige originally referred Dr. Royal and spoke highly of her, complimenting her twice on 2 occasions I had with him. Dr. Reeve also has a strong relationship with Dr. Royal and highly recommended her as my orthodontist. Dr. Reeve diagnosed me with maxillary hypoplasia (the underdevelopment of the upper jaw) and mandibular hypoplasia (when the lower jaw is undersized) which compromised my airways. I had lifelong issues with sleep apnea, breathing issues, narrow airways, teeth grinding and a lip incompetence that contributed to these problems and made the decision to go through with the surgery process. I chose Dr. Royal because she is incredibly kind and experienced in the orthodontic treatment process for all kinds of cases. She is a perfectionist and also listens to any questions or concerns. I knew I was in good hands when I committed to the Royal team. When I first did my consultation, I had to put things on hold and followed up a year later. She remembered me and pulled up my file to go over my case again. I had consultations with other orthodontists and felt like they only cared about money. Whereas Dr. Royal is more focused on fostering a good work place and community with her team and patients. I felt assured in her care. The admin team were also so patient with me as I had issues with my brackets constantly breaking and needed to schedule frequent appointments. They accommodated to my commute and schedule. They graciously and smoothly delt with my phone calls, emails and texts. They're the best! You won't go wrong with choosing Dr. Royal! I'm grateful to be a part of the Royal family and I want to thank them for all they do! read more

How can I express how professional Dr. Royal and her staff are. Words are short. My initial consultation was very informative. Dr. Royal and her staff made me feel very comfortable. I initially went to inquire on invisalign and Dr. Royal was able to consult and advise classic braces for best and fast results. I ended up getting clear braces. Every office visit was welcoming Dr. Royal and her staff truly made me feel like family, always offering bagels and coffee for breakfast. My experience with braces was so easy and honestly time went by so fast. I enjoyed testing out the gold wires fyi. With all honesty I would definitely recommend Dr. Royal should you need to visit an orthodontist for a perfect smile . Till this day I always make sure to wear my retainers every night to maintain all the hard work put into achieving this smile. read more

Royal Orthodontics - Orthodontists Near Me - New York, New York

What a journey it has been! I remembered visiting a few other orthodontist before deciding on Dr Royal, and something in my gut told me this is the one... and it was SO RIGHT. All of the staffs were truly AMAZING. I enjoyed every one of my visits- I always felt a part of their family. Please do yourself a favor and look no further -You are in great hands with Dr Royal. You can tell she cares a lot about her job by how she runs her practice and how she treats her patients. My treatment was never rushed. She always gave her recommendations and ensure I got the best achievable smile possible given my facial structure. She was readily available whenever and was always attentive. I cannot be any more happier with the results and with my decision. Thank you again. I will miss everyone there! read more

If you're shopping for an orthodontist, rest assured: You've arrived at your final destination. I am a meticulously researched consumer, and I'd compiled a list of the best orthodontists in the city. I'm sure if you're reading this, you must realize this is no small feat. Aside from Dr. Royal's expertise, education, and family background in the dental industry, both she and her staff possess an extremely unique quality in making clients feel immediately at ease and at home. Whether you're being welcomed by Melissa or Agnes, or are in the chair, you feel like you are their complete focus. Because you are. I have been a patient since 2013, when I had Damon braces placed. I received incredibly fair pricing, esp for the level of talent I was seeking; and was allowed completely interest-free installment payments. Dr. Royal kept me on track to finishing even ahead of schedule, and also helped me find amazing specialists my teeth required. I have received nothing but high praise from every other dentist I've seen on the exceptional work that was done by them all. This was spearheaded by Dr. Royal at the helm, so I simply cannot thank her or her team enough for their level of wisdom, detail, and attention. Their genuine kindness, respect for clients, patience for our questions and concerns, even the beverages or treats they always offer, their good vibes and great energy -- this is something for which one cannot be trained; and Dr. Royal and her team give this to all who enter in spades. Completing my treatment with Dr. Royal felt nothing short of spectacular! She is a truly gifted and talented scientific artist in every sense. I walked out into the world that day with the most perfect smile. I was all at once happy, excited, deeply contented, and at peace. It was emotional. I almost can't fathom the days when I used to hide my smile, because I haven't been able to stop myself from smiling ever since. :) FFwd to now, I just had a bad fall where I hit my front teeth and they were, unfortunately, pushed in a bit. Aside from being upset this had changed the perfection of aesthetic alignment, it had functionally affected my bite. I was fearful in the moment especially as I've since moved out of the city, but knew I just needed to call Dr. Royal and all of my worries would be allayed. I was right. Not only is her new office beautiful, but extremely organized. She had my original models and 3D digital scans as their office always seems to use only the latest and greatest of technology. I'm sure if I had moved further away, her utilization of these technologies would've been able to save the day, no matter what. I hadn't had any need to check in with Dr. Royal in years, but was welcomed back like an old friend. A new retainer from my old model was made for me in-house and on the spot. Agnes is so exceptionally deft in her skills it took her all of 5 min to create one; flawlessly smoothed, and polished. I was stunned. I thought I'd have to wait at least a few hours if not a day or two. Not the case, and I thoroughly enjoyed Melissa's awesome music playlist while waiting and during my entire visit. Dr. Royal carefully assessed my bite and teeth shift from my accident, and assured me that it would be all be okay in the end. I have no doubts. My teeth, in her care, are once again correcting and moving toward perfection. At this point, no one can even tell aside from perfectionist little me, Dr. Royal, and her staff, also all perfectionists; but only if looking very closely and directly into my mouth. And aside from dental care visits, that's definitely not how I greet people, haha. My smile still looks amazing to the naked eye from my original treatment, all thanks to Dr. Royal's brilliance. Also, I 100% feel that my teeth were saved in my fall due to the incredible strength, endurance, and expert performance of the permanent retainers she had placed behind those now affected teeth, years ago. I would probably be writing a review on an (expensive) emergency oral surgeon, otherwise. I don't know what else to tell you other than the fact that Dr. Royal is a life-safer. She and her staff bring smiles to all who have the good fortune to know her and her team. Thank you, Dr. Royal, for so much; for changing my life in the most profoundly positive way. Think about it. Every time you smile (or don't), you show who you are to the greater world. I, for one, cannot put a price on that. If you are uncomfortable with your smile, you are not free to express yourself in a way that fully reflects your feelings or intentions. It affects every part of your life when confidence is so important to one's emotional world. I was once a prisoner to that, myself. But when I met Dr. Royal, I immediately knew -- I've found the right doctor. I thought: Right here, her chair, with her team; this is where I'm happy to end my search and start my journey toward a better life. And told her so. I'm so glad I did. And so should you. read more

I just left Dr. Royals office. My daughter got braces today! Dr. Royal walked her through what to expect but we were not expecting to actually get them today. My daughter cried because like most teens, they don't want braces. The Dr. was so patient with her, The vibes in her office were amazing! Everyone was cheerful, professional and friendly. The office was clean, bright and inviting. My kid started out crying and has evolved into excitement about her braces and the different colors she can have. Now she is taking selfies and eating Sushi. Dr. Royal's practice rocks!! read more

My dentist referred me to Dr. Royal when I started experiencing bite problems. After 11 months of Invisalign with Royal Orthodontics, I wouldn't dream of sending my friends or family elsewhere.

Dr. Royal is whip smart and communicates trade offs well, so I felt like I could make informed treatment decisions. She even threw in some purely cosmetic adjustments for free. Don't waste time at any other practice! read more

If I have any issues at all I will definitely be returning here. read more

Honestly, if I could give more stars I would. I've had braces and dental issues for years, but dr Royal and her team finally closed my open bite!

Would go back in a heartbeat, but my teeth are fixed bc of her so hopefully I won't have to! read more

Could not be happier with the overall service at Royal Orthodontics. Dr. Royal's bedside manner is impeccable and the office is so welcoming and inviting. Got great results for adult Invisalign and immediately referred my sister. Despite how busy they are Dr. Royal is always willing to accommodate her patients and really goes the extra mile to deliver top notch service. HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

Dr. Royal was everything I was looking for in an orthodontist and more. I had wanted to fix my teeth for a while now and finally am in a financial position to do so so went to Yelp and found Dr. Royal as she was conveniently located to my apartment and office. From the first time I walked into the office I felt at ease. She was able to calm my nerves and actually get me excited about treatment. I left her office after our first appointment with a big smile because I was so excited to get started with Invisalign. I am now 3 weeks in and have no complaints. Dr. Royal is the best! read more

I really want everyone to know just how much I love Dr. Royal and her staff!! They were amazing throughout my entire treatment. I have had some really bad experiences in my past with dentists so I was very nervous from the beginning. From the moment that I walked in for a consultation, my fears were no longer on my mind. The staff was polite and friendly. They made me feel like I had been a patient for years! This is how they always are. It creates such a personal experience and I thought it was amazing. The treatment coordinator was great! She walked me through how the appointment would go and got me started on the complimentary x-rays so that the doctor could treatment plan me accurately. Then I met Dr. Royal. She was very kind and explained everything so well. This was important to me because I had been to many consultations and heard so many different things from different orthodontists. She made sure that I knew and understood my options and she was realistic with what my results would be depending on the treatment option I chose. There is nothing better to find in an Orthodontist then honesty. She sincerely cares about her patients and that is PRICELESS!! Especially in a city that has so many dentists and doctors to choose from. Fast forward a year and a half and I am officially done with my treatment. It was seamless. The assistants always worked efficiently and what I loved most was that I was seen by Dr. Royal at every single visit. Other offices will have the assistants see you and you barley get any time with the Orthodontist, but not here. The entire team really worked hard to make sure that all of my concerns were taken care of. I finished treatment in the expected time and I have the smile that I have always wanted. I could not be happier and I owe it all to Dr. Royal and her amazing team! read more
