Meet Your Buffalo Orthodontist
Dr. Kevin Manzella was born in Fredonia, NY. He graduated with a degree in Biology from SUNY Geneseo. He then spent four years at the SUNY at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine where he graduated Summa Cum Laude with his DDS. Dr. M. stayed at UB to complete his specialty training in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics and was awarded the William W. Feagans Clinical Postgraduate Scholarship. The extra three years of specialty training allow Dr. Manzella to call himself an orthodontist (Fun Fact: only 6% of dentists are orthodontists).
First of all, Dr. Manzella is a family man. He has an amazing wife, Noelle, two beautiful daughters, Penelope and Lucy, and two bossy rescue dogs, Zelda and Leif Erikson. He’s not your typical doctor. It wouldn’t be unusual for Dr. M. to show up to the office with a tear in his dress shirt because he was doing some electric work or demo-ing his kitchen. He runs marathons, makes wine, volunteers for the Paws for Love therapy dog program, plays tennis, and loves the Buffalo Bills!
Types of treatment
Metal Braces
Traditional Strength and Precision
Metal braces at Manzella Orthodontics in Buffalo are a testament to traditional orthodontic excellence. Known for their durability and effectiveness, metal braces are ideal for tackling a wide range of orthodontic issues, from simple misalignments to more complex dental challenges.
Robust and Reliable Treatment
These braces consist of high-quality metal brackets attached to each tooth, linked by a thin archwire. They work by applying consistent pressure to the teeth, gradually shifting them into the correct position. The strength of metal braces makes them particularly effective for significant dental corrections, including severe misalignments, overcrowding, and bite issues.
Customizable and Efficient
One of the unique aspects of metal braces is their ability to be customized with colored bands, making them a fun option, especially for younger patients. Despite their traditional nature, metal braces have evolved to be more comfortable and less obtrusive, offering an efficient path to a straighter smile.
Clear Braces
Aesthetic and Effective
Clear braces at our Buffalo clinic offer a more aesthetic alternative to traditional metal braces. They function similarly to metal braces but with the added benefit of discretion, thanks to their clear or tooth-colored brackets.
Subtle Yet Powerful
These braces are perfect for patients who are conscious of the visibility of orthodontic treatment but require the strength of traditional braces. Clear braces blend in with the natural color of your teeth, making them less noticeable while providing the same level of effectiveness in treating various orthodontic issues.
Ideal for Teens and Adults
Clear braces are particularly popular among teenagers and adults who seek a less conspicuous orthodontic solution. They offer the reliability of traditional braces while maintaining a more natural appearance throughout the treatment.
Clear Aligners
Modern and Convenient Orthodontics
For those seeking a modern, nearly invisible orthodontic solution, Manzella Orthodontics in Buffalo provides clear aligners. These aligners are custom-made, removable trays that gently shift your teeth into place.
Invisible and Comfortable
Made from a clear, flexible plastic, clear aligners are virtually invisible when worn. They are custom-fitted to your teeth, ensuring maximum comfort and minimal impact on speech. The removability of these aligners offers unparalleled convenience, allowing patients to eat, brush, and floss without any restrictions.
Tailored for Your Lifestyle
Clear aligners are ideal for patients with mild to moderate orthodontic issues who prefer a more discreet treatment. They require commitment to wearing the aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours per day, with a change to a new set every 1-2 weeks. This innovative treatment is particularly appealing to adults and teens looking for a less noticeable, flexible orthodontic solution.
