Meet Dr. Kevin Manzella
Education
Dr. 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). He is proud to serve West Seneca and the surrounding communities.

Outside the Office
First of all, Dr. Manzella is a family man. He has an amazing wife, Noelle, three beautiful daughters, Penelope, Lucy, and Scarlett, 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!
Orthodontist vs. Dentist: Specialized Expertise for Your Smile
Understanding the difference between orthodontists and dentists is crucial when seeking teeth straightening treatments. While both are dental professionals, orthodontists like Dr. Manzella undergo additional years of specialized training beyond dental school, focusing exclusively on aligning teeth and jaws.
This advanced training equips them with the expertise to diagnose and treat complex orthodontic issues more effectively than general dentists. Orthodontists use a variety of treatments, including metal braces, ceramic braces, and clear aligners, tailored to individual needs, ensuring precise and efficient results. Choosing a Hamburg orthodontist for your orthodontic care means entrusting your smile to a specialist dedicated to perfecting the art and science of straightening teeth.
The Transformative Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic treatment offers far-reaching benefits that extend beyond just a straighter smile. Physically, it enhances oral health by aligning teeth for better cleaning, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Properly aligned teeth and jaws also prevent uneven wear and tear and alleviate potential jaw pain or chewing difficulties.
Mentally and personally, orthodontic treatment with Dr. Manzella can significantly boost self-confidence and self-esteem. A beautiful smile can positively impact your social interactions, making you feel more comfortable and confident in both personal and professional settings.
Professionally, a well-aligned smile can be a game-changer. It often contributes to making better first impressions, crucial in job interviews and client interactions. A confident smile is perceived as a sign of health and self-care, attributes highly valued in professional environments.
At Manzella Orthodontics, we understand the comprehensive impact of orthodontic treatment and are committed to providing our patients with not just a beautiful smile, but a foundation for improved overall well-being.
