High Touchpoint Orthodontic Care

Direct Orthodontist Supervision at Every Appointment

Lindenhurst Orthodontics structures patient care around one-on-one doctor involvement at each visit. Dr. Matthew Nissenbaum will personally oversee every visit. This model differs from practices where technicians handle routine adjustments and doctors rotate between locations or patients. With over 20 years of orthodontic experience and more than 15 years at this Lindenhurst location, Dr. Nissenbaum maintains continuity across the full treatment timeline. Appointments occur every 4 to 8 weeks during active treatment, meaning patients see the same orthodontist at each of these checkpoints. For families tracking their child’s progress, this structure ensures that questions and treatment decisions route directly to the doctor responsible for the case.

Consistent Care Team Throughout Treatment Phases

The practice’s single-location structure supports relationship continuity from initial evaluation through retention. Lindenhurst Orthodontics recommends children receive their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7, when Phase 1 treatment can guide jaw growth and create space for permanent teeth. If early intervention is recommended, the same doctor who performs the evaluation also designs and monitors the treatment plan. The office uses a diagnostic workflow that includes photos, X-rays, and iTero digital 3D scans before finalizing any personalized treatment plan. These records stay with one practitioner rather than being handed off between doctors. Post-treatment retention guidance (retainers worn 24/7 for the first 3 to 6 months, then nightly for 12 months) also comes from the treating orthodontist, maintaining consistent advice from start to finish.

Scheduling and Communication Designed for Families

Doctor accessibility extends beyond in-office visits to how the practice handles scheduling and communication. Lindenhurst Orthodontics offers complimentary consultations that include an exam, X-rays, and a personalized treatment plan for new patients considering treatment. The practice accepts appointments by phone (631-397-1637) or text and emphasizes scheduling accommodations for school schedules. One patient testimonial on the practice’s promotional page states: “Dr. Nissenbaum was amazing, he always took his time and never made us feel rushed.” The office accepts most major insurance providers, including All-State and Union plans, and offers flexible payment plans. New patients can access promotional pricing (up to $1,000 off braces or Invisalign for qualifying cases). These operational details reduce barriers to reaching the orthodontist and staying engaged throughout treatment.

When evaluating orthodontic care for a child, knowing who will actually perform treatment and monitor progress matters as much as the technology or appliances offered. Lindenhurst Orthodontics provides direct access to a single experienced orthodontist across every appointment, from early evaluation through retention. This structure supports families who prioritize clear accountability and consistent communication over the course of treatment.
