Today we’re saying see you later (because goodbye feels too final) to our favorite sterilization technician, Dani 💫

Dani started with us while she was still in high school, and for over five years she has excelled in her role with dedication, reliability, and a smile that never faded.

She’s heading abroad to continue her studies in business management, and while we are so proud, we will truly miss her.

Dani, thank you for all the care you put into everything you did. Once part of our team, always part of our team ❤️

The holidays are truly about connection, and this year our office pajama party reminded me just how special my team is.

So much laughter, fun stories, a few happy tears, and so much love filled the room. 🥰

I am beyond grateful for each and every one of them. The care, kindness, and “extra” that we’re known for would not be possible without this incredible group of people.

I love my team more than words can say, and my heart is so full this holiday season. ✨🎄

🎉 So much to celebrate for Roberto! 🎉

This month marks Roberto’s 1st anniversary with our practice, and what an incredible year it has been. From day one, he quickly picked up on all clinical skills and has grown into an outstanding assistant we can always count on.

Roberto works incredibly hard, he is balancing a busy schedule in the office while also going to college to earn his bachelor’s degree.

And as if that wasn’t enough… he got engaged this weekend! 💍✨

About Their 5-Star Care

Our patients love their healthy, beautiful smiles! We’re proud to have earned their glowing 5-star reviews!

S G.
Excellent office. Had Shelby put my initial Invisalign on, such a professional and sweet person. So far great experience, keep up the great work!
Anik M.
Shelby did a great job with my Invisalign treatment preparation. All the staffs there are amazing and friendly. Thanks GELLERMAN ORTHODONTICS TEAM.
Jasmine B.
Took a lot of time to explain treatment plan to my daughter and I , looking forward to great results . We sought Dr Gellerman out as she was the highest ranking local provider of Invisalign when I enquired with the company
Gaiana I.
Dr Gellerman is the best and so is her office staff. Everyone is so nice. My 6 year old got her palate expander and loved her experience. Thank you so much Dr Gellerman!
John C.
From the moment I walked into Gellerman Orthodontics, I knew I had made the right decision. Every single member of their Dream Team radiates warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. It’s rare these days to find a practice where every person you meet is happy to see you, speak with you, and go above and beyond—no matter how small or large your question or concern may be.

At 48 years old, I’ll admit I was a little anxious about starting orthodontic treatment later in life, but the Gellerman team has made the entire process absolutely seamless. My Treatment Coordinator, Dania, was incredibly kind, informative, and patient, walking me through every detail of the process so I felt confident and comfortable from day one. When it came time to start my Invisalign treatment, Sienna, my Clinical Assistant, was just as thorough, patient, and caring, she made sure every step was perfectly explained and executed.

Dr. Gellerman herself is in a class of her own—a nationally recognized Blue Diamond Top 1% Nationwide Invisalign Provider for good reason. She is approachable, exceptionally professional, and has a calming bedside manner that immediately puts you at ease. She took the time to answer all my (many!) questions with clarity and care.

The technology at this practice is truly years ahead of anyone else I consulted with. From 3D imaging to DentalMonitoring technology that tracks aligner fit and tooth movement remotely with precision, every element of treatment is handled with cutting-edge accuracy. This is orthodontics elevated to an art form.

If you’re considering orthodontic treatment—at any age—look no further than Gellerman Orthodontics. Their combination of world-class expertise, technology, and genuine human care makes them the clear choice. This is truly a five-star practice in every way.
Jill P.
Staff and Dr. Gellerman we fantastic!!!!!! Hard to find awesome Doctors these days but Dr, Gellerman is definitely one the best. Professional, understanding and takes time to listen. No rushing. She was the only person that helped find a solution and the correct night guard for my severe TMJ. I have been to at least 4 other doctors and no one gave me the correct appliance. I would give her 10 stars if I could!
Laura
Gellergan team is phenomenal! Just got my treatment started and I was surprised as how detailed and attentive they all were. This is our second treatment here and they are really wonderful
Rocco M.
I came in with teeth that looked like they were planning an escape in 12 different directions. Thanks to Gellerman Orthodontics, they’re now standing in perfect formation like soldiers at attention. Dr. Gellerman is basically the tooth-whisperer—if Disney ever makes a movie about orthodontics, she’s the main character.
Rachel M.
Very knowledgeable- the whole process has been very easy and they offer great pricing. Extremely satisfied so far with my Invisalign!
Dorca J.
I love this place, the staff is very informative and helpful, the office is really clean and very organized. They find accommodations with the appointments according to my work schedule and that’s amazing. 100% recommended!
Gurpreet S.
Everyone at this office is incredibly kind and welcoming. Shelby, in particular, was outstanding—she walked me through every detail of the Invisalign process with clarity and care. From overall treatment guidance to helpful tips and weekly updates, she made sure I felt informed and confident every step of the way. Truly exceptional service!
Adria D.
Dr Gellerman and her staff are thorough and attentive. They explained the procedures in full detail and available for any questions. So far, this has been a great experience for both myself and my daughter.
Rachel T.
We had our second appointment today. Our son began his Invisalign palate expanders. He has severe ADHD and anxiety. Tommy and Dr. Gellerman were absolutely wonderful! They explained everything to him and treated him with such kindness. Highly recommend Dr. Gellerman’s office!!
Cristina M.
Everybody here is kind, helpful, and my favorite part is…. Competent and knowledgeable!! The office is clean and so hospitable, with lots of beverage options and complimentary gifts too!
Overall highly recommend.
Mia Russo S.
Both of my children used Dr. Gellerman and now it’s my turn! She’s incredible. The office is beautiful professional and super clean. I wouldn’t go anywhere else! And she does a ton of Invisalign the best there is.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Orthodontists Covered by Care Credit Insurance?
Orthodontists are typically covered by CareCredit insurance for orthodontic treatment. Patients can use CareCredit to cover expenses related to braces, Invisalign, retainers, and other orthodontic services. CareCredit offers flexible payment options, including interest-free financing, making orthodontic treatment more accessible to patients seeking to achieve a straighter smile.
Are Orthodontists and Dentists the Same?
Orthodontists and dentists are not the same. While both work on oral health, orthodontists specialize in straightening teeth and aligning jaws using braces, aligners, and other appliances. Dentists focus on overall oral health, including cleanings, fillings, and other general dental care. Orthodontists undergo additional training in orthodontic treatment.
Why Do Orthodontists Charge So Much?
Orthodontists charge higher fees due to their specialized training, expertise, and quality of care provided. The cost includes personalized treatment plans, advanced technology, office overhead, and follow-up care, contributing to the overall value received for achieving a straighter, healthier smile. Additional factors may include the complexity of the case, specialized staff, and materials used in treatment.
Are Orthodontists Covered by Insurance?
Orthodontic coverage varies by insurance plans. In general, many dental insurance policies provide some coverage for orthodontic treatment, including braces and Invisalign. However, the extent of coverage, limitations, and eligibility criteria differ, so it's crucial to check with your insurance provider for specific details regarding orthodontic benefits.
How Do I Choose an Orthodontist?
When choosing an orthodontist, consider their experience, qualifications, treatment options offered (like Invisalign), technology used (like SureSmile), patient reviews, financing options, and location convenience. Schedule a consultation to discuss treatment plans and ensure a comfortable fit with the orthodontist and team.
Are Orthodontists Also Dentists?
Orthodontists are specialized dentists who focus on correcting teeth and jaw alignment issues. While all orthodontists are dentists, not all dentists are orthodontists. Orthodontists require additional training beyond dental school to become experts in straightening teeth, aligning jaws, and creating healthy, beautiful smiles.
Are Orthodontist Consultations Free?
Yes, orthodontist consultations at Gellerman Orthodontics in Huntington, NY, are free. It's important to schedule a consultation to discuss your orthodontic needs and treatment options with our experienced team. Call us at 631-427-8444 to book your complimentary consultation appointment.
Are Orthodontists Covered by FSA?
Yes, orthodontic treatments are typically eligible expenses covered by Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). This includes braces, Invisalign, retainers, and other orthodontic procedures. However, it's advisable to confirm with your FSA provider regarding specific coverage details and any required documentation.
Are Orthodontists in Demand?
Orthodontists are in high demand due to the growing awareness of the importance of oral health and the desire for a confident smile. With advancements in orthodontic treatments like Invisalign, more people are seeking orthodontic care for both functional and aesthetic purposes, leading to increased demand for orthodontists.
Do All Orthodontists Charge the Same for Braces?
Orthodontists do not all charge the same for braces. The cost varies based on factors like location, experience, treatment complexity, and type of braces. It's advisable to get quotes from different orthodontists and inquire about payment plans or insurance coverage.
Are Dentists and Orthodontists the Same Thing?
Dentists and orthodontists are not the same. While both focus on oral health, dentists handle general dental care, such as fillings and cleanings, while orthodontists specialize in aligning teeth and jaws using braces or aligners for improved aesthetics and function.
Are Orthodontists Doctors?
Yes, orthodontists are doctors specializing in the alignment of teeth and jaws. They complete dental school and then undergo additional training in orthodontics to become experts in diagnosing and treating issues related to the alignment of teeth and jaws.
Are Dentist and Orthodontist the Same?
Dentists and orthodontists are not the same. While both work on oral health, a dentist focuses on overall dental health, including cleanings, fillings, and extractions. In contrast, an orthodontist specializes in correcting teeth alignment and jaw positioning issues, offering treatments like braces and Invisalign for straightening teeth.
Are All Orthodontists Doctors?
Yes, all orthodontists are doctors, but not all doctors are orthodontists. Orthodontists are dentists who undergo additional specialized training to become experts in aligning teeth and jaws. They must complete a dental degree, followed by a residency in orthodontics. This rigorous education and training distinguish orthodontists from general dentists.
Are All Orthodontists Dentists?
No, not all orthodontists are dentists. While all orthodontists are required to first complete dental school, they then pursue additional specialized training in orthodontics, focusing on the alignment of teeth and jaws. This distinction allows them to specialize in orthodontic treatment specifically.
