Orthodontists Associates of Western New York

Orthodontists Associates of Western New York is a prominent and long-standing orthodontic practice serving the communities of Western New York. The practice's history traces back to the 1950s, founded by Dominic Colarusso, Sr. They were pioneers in their field, adopting a proactive and preventative approach to orthodontics rather than the traditional reactive methods of the time. In 1993, the practice rebranded to "Orthodontists Associates of Western New York" to emphasize that it is a group of specialized orthodontists. The clinic has multiple locations, including the one in East Aurora, New York, and others in Hamburg, Olean, Orchard Park, Lancaster, Dunkirk, and Niagara Falls. The practice is helmed by a team of experienced orthodontists, including Drs. Dominic A. Colarusso, Jr., Steven J. Hietanen, and Andrew J. Dusel. They are recognized for their expertise and are even part of the Craniofacial team at Oishei Children's Hospital, which specializes in treating complex conditions like cleft lip and palate. Orthodontists Associates of WNY offers a wide array of orthodontic services for patients of all ages, from children to adults. They specialize in early treatment for children, emphasizing the importance of an orthodontic check-up by age seven to guide jaw growth and prevent more significant problems later. Their treatment options include traditional braces, as well as modern alternatives like Invisalign clear aligners for both teens and adults. The practice utilizes cutting-edge technology and computerized systems for precise diagnosis and treatment planning. They also offer free consultations to help patients understand their options and feel confident in their treatment decisions.
