About

Dr. Melena Planzos practices Orthodontics in Brooklyn, NY. Comprehensive orthodontic treatment includes metal wires that are inserted into orthodontic brackets, which can be made from stainless steel or a more aesthetic ceramic material.

Being advanced in the field, Dr. Planzos may also use Invisalign or other aligner trays that have been designed to align a patients? smile. As an orthodontist, Dr. Planzos must recognize various characteristics of a malocclusion or dentofacial deformity, define the nature of the problem, including the etiology if possible, and design a treatment strategy based on the specific needs and desires of the patient.
