Smilesweet Orthodontics - Dr. Lisa Valins

Orthodontic care in eastern Queens often centers on Union Turnpike, where families and teens find the steady hands of local specialists. Smilesweet Orthodontics—Dr. Lisa Valins—sits at 208-09 Union Tpke in Hollis Hills, a low-rise stretch that feels more like a neighborhood than a thoroughfare. The practice handles the usual lineup: metal and clear braces, Invisalign, early interceptive treatment, and retainer checks, all without the hype that sometimes clings to cosmetic dentistry. A five-minute walk from the Q46 bus stop and the Long Island Rail Road’s Hollis station, the office is easy to reach whether you’re coming from school or work. Call (718) 464-0768 to schedule a consultation or adjust an existing appointment. For directions, the map is at this link. Most patients just say it’s the place on Union Tpke with the blue awning.
