Vitagliano Orthodontics

Vitagliano Orthodontics is a multi-generational orthodontic practice with two locations on Long Island, New York, including one in Massapequa. The clinic has been a part of the community for many years, originally founded by Dr. Pasquale Vitagliano, and is now led by his son, Dr. Joseph "Joe" Vitagliano. Dr. Joe earned his D.M.D. from the University of Connecticut and completed his specialty training in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics at New York University. He specializes in treating a range of conditions, including those requiring orthognathic surgery, cleft palate intervention, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. He is a member of the American Orthodontic Association and holds staff positions at Good Samaritan Hospital and Long Island Jewish Medical Center. The clinic prides itself on providing personalized, high-quality care in a family-friendly atmosphere. They offer a complimentary initial consultation to all new patients, which includes a complete oral exam and a customized treatment plan. Vitagliano Orthodontics utilizes advanced technology, such as digital radiographs and 3D printing, to ensure accurate diagnoses and effective treatment. Their services cater to patients of all ages, from early orthodontic treatment for children as young as seven to adult orthodontics. Treatment options are diverse and include a wide variety of braces, such as traditional metal braces, clear (ceramic) braces, Iconix braces, Lingual braces (hidden behind the teeth), and the passive self-ligating Damon Smile system. They also offer Invisalign, a popular and discreet alternative to braces. Beyond standard treatments, the practice handles more complex cases and offers resources for patients on topics like orthodontic surgery and after-treatment care. The clinic is also recognized for its unique in-office shark tank, which was featured on the Animal Planet show “Tanked!”
