Dr. Richard Lee, DMD

Orthodontics isn’t the kind of thing you stumble into by accident. Most people end up in the chair after some deliberation—maybe a recommendation, maybe a slow realization that the bite isn’t what it used to be. Dr. Richard Lee, DMD operates out of a storefront on 506 3rd St in Brooklyn, a stretch where the sidewalks feel lived-in without being loud. The practice handles the usual lineup: metal and ceramic braces, clear aligners, retainers, early interceptive treatment, and space maintainers. It’s the sort of place where the work is precise, the adjustments incremental, and the results something you notice in the mirror months later rather than overnight.

Third Street sits just off the slope of Park Slope, where the brownstones thin out and the storefronts take on a quieter rhythm. The office itself doesn’t advertise much beyond the sign; you either know it’s there or you don’t. For appointments or questions, the number is (718) 962-0300. Directions are straightforward if you’re already in the neighborhood—just pull up the map before you walk, since the cross streets can blur together after a while.
