Services
The team at RockCenter Orthodontics combines the gift of hospitality with excellence and dedication. We are dedicated to making the orthodontic experience easy and comfortable. Patient care, understanding, and satisfaction is our mantra. We have many years of experience in orthodontic care and know what it takes to deliver the best care to our patients.
Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile. One of every five patients in orthodontic treatment is over 21. Jaw surgery is more often required for adult orthodontic patients because their jaws are not growing.
Adults also may have experienced some breakdown or loss of their teeth and bone that supports the teeth and may require periodontal treatment before, during, and/or after orthodontic treatment.Bone loss can also limit the amount and direction of tooth movement that is advisable. We offer traditional braces, as well as many hidden orthodontic options like Invisalign invisible braces.

Once you have braces, it is really important that you know how to take good care of them as they will reward you with a great smile when their work is done. This is the time for sensible eating habits. Remember that this is only for a short while and it's a small price to pay when you think of the end result.
Using gradual force, clear aligners gently move teeth into alignment without the use of metal wires or brackets. Clear aligners are made with very strong plastic material that is fabricated specifically to fit the patient's teeth. As treatment progresses, the patient switches through a series of aligners, each one bringing the teeth closer to their correct alignment.
Orthodontic emergencies are rare, but it's still important to be prepared for them so that they don't impact your treatment if they do happen. As a rule, if you experience severe pain or have an appliance problem you can't take care of on your own, contact our office and schedule an appointment. There are actually quite a few things you can do if something goes wrong with your orthodontic appliance.

Just adding to the fantastic reviews here. I got my Invisalign in 2014. Dr. Hung is so good at what he does plus he is so patient with me, as I tend to get quite stressed related to dental work of any kind. Anyway, recently in 2021 I’m in need of dental work on my wisdom teeth and I called Dr. Hung for his opinion. He called me back within 24 hours, my old X-rays in front of him and all. He was really supportive and gave me my options after not seeing him in years, being a client so many years ago. I feel like patients can trust him. He’s seen it all, says it like it is, in a supportive way

Dr Hung and his team have been AMAZING in guiding me through the process of straightening my teeth and creating a new look for me... It’s as though the clock has gone back in Time when I look at the changes that have occurred from straightening my teeth...my upper lip has filled out, and the small lines above my lips have have substantially reduced... no surgery or fillers!! I’m thrilled with my new look!!
Thank You Dr Hung!!

Dr. Hung and his staff are very professional and very personable. I had terrible teeth placement in spite of having had braces as a teen. I am not a young person who was very concerned and embarrassed by my teeth and therefore my smile. Dr. Hung led me through the process of slowly and accurately correcting my bite. The change was amazing, My smile is back and, perhaps more importantly, my mouth is so much healthier. And the few subsequent times I have seen Dr. Hung for some small adjustments he was available and made the experience fabulous. I absolutely could not be happier, He is my orthodontic

Dr Hung is AMAZING!!! Invisaligns have become extremely popular with so many options. Majority of people will choose a cheaper option but honestly it’s not the best option (speaking from experience). Dr hung is an orthodontist so he is more knowledgeable. My Fiancé and I started out Invisalign process with him in 2015 and he transformed our smiles to perfection! I regret not purchasing the retainers at the end of my session; over the years my teeth shifted (which I was impressed to find out not much!).

Couldn't be happier with the outcome. It's been a year since I completed my treatment and I'm so pleased with how Dr. Hung handled my case. He took the time to explain his reasoning, hand-crafted his invisalign plan based on my goals and specific case, and made me feel in control throughout. I intend to bring the rest of my family to Dr. Hung as they need treatments too.

Just wrapped up my Invisalign treatment with Dr. Hung and my teeth look great! I definitely recommend him for your treatment if you're considering Invisalign. He's high energy and super positive - I'm actually disappointed that I won't be making any more monthly visits. He makes the movements conservative so the discomfort from tray to tray is minimal and the option to pay over time makes it all manageable from a financial perspective. Support staff is super friendly and their tech is top notch. Check them out!

I never imagined saying this, but orthodonture was an absolute pleasure. Dr. Hung and his team are at the very top of their field and made the entire process easy, convenient and, ultimately, totally rewarding. Dr. Hung is passionate about what he does and getting great results, but also realistic and transparent about the expected outcome. I can't imagine an orthodontist more skilled in the art of Invisalign -- and it truly is an art -- or more generous with his time and knowledge.
I am BEYOND thrilled with my new smile. And I wish there were more than 5 stars to express my gratitude to Dr. Hung

I was thinking about writing a review sooner but haven't got the chance. I haven't had long term treatment from Dr Hung but here's what I can say. I got my bottom retainer from Dr Hung. From my experience, he is an extremely trustworthy orthodontist. Not the kind of orthodontist you would find to be uncomfortable with. I didn't have a great treatment from an old orthodontist so I came to Dr Hung instead (recommended by my friend's parents). Him and his assistants actually look at my teeth, which I'm thankful for. I was being treated with braces from my old orthodontist

I completed my Invisalign treatment with dr hung. The experience was bittersweet, my teeth are way better now than before. I am very disappointed with the amount I was charged and did get retainers in the end. Before the treatment I believe I was told after treatment I would get a set of retainers, but in the end I was told to wear my last set of trays. They were going to charge me for retainers after paying almost TWICE the above market price. My last trays were pretty worn, and I ended getting retainers through my general dentist for way less than what they were going to charge me. I feel you

Dr. Hung, AKA Dr. Joe, is an incredibly talented and smart doctor, and he is officially my family's orthodontist. About 10 years ago, I was a patient of Dr. Hung's. I had braces when I was a teenager, but I only wore my retainer for a couple of years as was recommended back then. I never wore it again after I didn't have to. Over the decades, my front teeth started protruding again, and my bottom teeth were crooked and overlapping causing food to be trapped in my teeth. A co-worker recommended Dr. Hung to me. My overall experience with Dr. Hung was EXCELLENT. It was nothing like

I went to Dr. Hung for a look at my open bite, and the entire experience was excellent. Firstly, I called the office in the morning and amazingly had an appointment scheduled for the same day in the afternoon. Getting to the office is convenient (it's in midtown Manhattan), and the office is super sleek and clean. One of Dr. Hung's assistants took x-ray pictures of my jaw, and Dr. Hung immediately noticed my problem and asked me how I thought my smile was perceived. He took the time to listen to my concerns, then he talked about multiple treatment options. I especially liked that he discouraged

Dr. Hung is the best Orthodontist I've seen. He fixed my teeth straight and decent even I was told it couldn't be done with Invisalign. Dr. Hung is super fun, patient, knowledgeable and always willing to communicate with his patients. Besides, his staffs are excellent as well. You can find his staffs are well educated about what they are doing. I really hate going some general dentists and the staff know nothing and the dentists have to guide them steps by steps. I am so glad and feel secured and relaxed knowing none of other staff will do any harm to me since I had bad dental visit experience

I never write reviews but I have to in this instance.
For a Harvard educated doctor, and a tier 1 invisilign provider, this just goes to show you that you need to know the right people to get anywhere in life. This guy is an actor in a dentist jacket, thats it. He does not know what he is doing and puts on a big show for your visit so he can explain how your face isnt symmetrical and so your teeth wont be either. Really?
Dr Hung was not able to do anything for me except open up google and show me pictures and tell me that my teeth arent that great anyway.

Dr. Hung is awesome. I'm only halfway through invisalign and my teeth already look the best they have ever been in my life. The doctor is so professional and knowledgable, and on top of that has an approachable, easy going personality. I've never felt like I have been in such great hands in a dentist's chair as I do here (obviously he's an orthodontist, not a dentist, but you get the idea). When my invisalign aggravated an issue with my gums, he squeezed me in for an appointment right away, and called a periodontist on the floor over for a second opinion. I would recommend anyone

I regard my invisalign treatment as a big mistake, and one I have to contend with daily. Simply put, I don't like my smile. And so I don't smile, and people wonder why I don't, and it affects me personally quite a bit.
Dr. Hung has a pleasant demeanor but he doesn't listen very well. I communicated my dissatisfaction several times, pretty much every time I visited. But he's a bit impervious to feedback and just hears what he wants, or tells you everything is ok. When actually, if you aren't happy with how it looks, it isn't, even if it's technically correct

I was shopping around for an orthodontist (yes, I'm a retainer-wearing dropout as well) and the second I walked into Dr. H's office I knew he was the real deal. He is clearly an expert in the field and also is incredibly friendly and endearing. His education and credentials are about as extensive as it gets, and his office is pristine. Great office staff, easy scheduling, and an abundance of appointment reminder calls/emails. I am just about done with my invisalign treatment and it's been pretty painless as far as convenience goes.

I am a middle-school retainer-wearing dropout. Something about finishing your years of pain wearing braces, being able to take them off and be proud of what you and modern dentistry have accomplished, and then shoving an uncomfortable plastic and wire contraption in your mouth that makes you drool more than a rabid dog just makes the process simply too difficult to maintain. And then there you are, sitting in the dentist's chair getting tsktsked at for not having the discipline to make your mother's investment in your pearly whites pay off. So I resolved, ten years later, to finish the
