Robert Weeman, DDS

I visited Dr. Weeman at Exchange Dental in Manhattan for a consultation two years ago. He told me I was in the right place. My teeth were pretty awful to start with. There were huge spaces to fill as a result of molars being removed and there was crowding in my bottom teeth.
He told me traditional braces were the way to go because it would be most effective and the fastest option. I took his recommendation and went ahead with them. I had metal braces on the bottom and ceramic braces on the top. It was not very noticeable, but it did get some getting used to at first. It was difficult to speak and eat at the beginning. But he assured me I would get used to them and I would not noticed them after a while.
Months went on, and I had gotten used to it that it didn’t even bother me anymore. The monthly tightening of the wires etc only resulted in a day or so or soreness, but my teeth were moving FAST! Dr. Weeman definitely knows his stuff, being in the business for 26 years now.
He was always so nice on my monthly appointments, that I was no longer dreaded going to the dentist/​ortho. He is very easy to talk to, and answers all my questions and concerns whenever I asked. He did not set up any false expectations of how long it would take, and I was not disappointed with the month to month progress.
Fast forward two years, I told him that my birthday was coming up, and it would be awesome to have them off by then. He told me the progress was looking great and I should schedule an appointment on March 13 and I would have them taken off 2 weeks before my birthday. I was so ecstatic, that I even hugged him!
Results were great! I’ve had them off for more than 2 years now and I am very happy I went through with braces with Dr. Weeman. Highly recommend him if you are considering braces!

At the age of 45, never having had braces, I finally followed my dentist’s advice to see an orthodontist about the continual moving of my bottom teeth. I was open to suggestions but never felt that I needed a «perfect» smile. Little did I know that because of the position of my teeth that I would continue to run a risk of not being able to clean properly, and that our teeth continue to move ALL of our life.
During the initial consultation Dr. Weeman presented me with options but was strong in that Invisalign wasn’t going to deliver the results needed. We agreed that lingual braces were the best option (I didn’t want the full metal on the exterior). He would always tell me what to look for/​anticipate, taking a very caring and consultative approach vs. not cluing me in to what to expect.
Dr. Weeman and my dentist (Dr. Joe Zagami) worked together on my case, which involved veneers post braces and I can’t tell you how many compliments I continue to get on my teeth & smile.
