Orthodontic specialists in Buffalo — ABO Diplomate and board-eligible practitioners — are trained primarily through the UB School of Dental Medicine's graduate orthodontic program, one of the more established orthodontic residencies in the northeastern United States. The UB orthodontic clinic provides training-level comprehensive orthodontic treatment for patients who qualify for the residency program, creating a cost-accessible tier for the Western New York adolescent or adult patient whose treatment timeline allows the resident-and-attending supervision format. The private ABO Diplomate practices in suburban Williamsville and Amherst serve the commercially insured adolescent and the private-pay adult patient across the Erie County market, and the practices whose clinical scope includes the complex adult skeletal discrepancy case, the surgical-orthodontic candidate, and the retreatment of the relapsed adult correction are the ones the Smyleee evaluation specifically identifies against the case complexity their practitioner credentials and treatment outcomes reflect.
Smyleee evaluated Buffalo orthodontic specialists on ABO Diplomate or UB residency-trained board-eligible credentials, direct attending orthodontist supervision throughout active treatment, adult complex case and surgical-orthodontic coordination capability, New York Medicaid and Canadian cross-border patient billing transparency, UB clinic access for the cost-sensitive patient, and patient outcome consistency for long-term correction stability. These ten Buffalo practices are the orthodontists the data confirmed as delivering the most substantively specialist-quality orthodontic management in the Western New York dental market.
