Mairaj Ahmed, DDS, MS

Orthodontics takes precision—especially in the Bronx. Mairaj Ahmed, DDS, MS operates a practice where alignment isn’t just about teeth; it’s about the confidence that comes after. The office sits at 1625 Poplar St # 225, a stretch of the borough where brick facades and tree-lined sidewalks still feel like old New York. This isn’t the kind of place that advertises flashy transformations; it’s where braces get adjusted, retainers are fitted, and the occasional surgical orthodontics case finds careful planning. The work here covers the full spectrum—early interventions for kids, clear aligners for adults who’ve put it off too long, and the less glamorous but essential follow-ups that keep everything in place.

Poplar Street isn’t a tourist corridor, which means most who walk through the door arrive by intention. Questions about treatment timelines or payment options usually start with a call to (718) 405-8401, where the details get sorted before the first consultation. Some come for the basics; others need something more involved, like jaw realignment or coordination with oral surgeons. The practice doesn’t lean on gimmicks—just the quiet repetition of appointments, adjustments, and gradual progress. For those mapping out their route, the directions are straightforward. It’s one of those places you notice only when you need it.
