About the Chinitz Orthodontics Team in New Rochelle
Chinitz Orthodontics is a locally owned orthodontic practice in New Rochelle, NY, built on delivering high-quality care with a genuinely personal touch. Since opening in August 2022, Dr. Isaac Chinitz and his team have provided board-certified orthodontic expertise, focusing on state-of-the-art modern technology, and one-on-one attention to patients of all ages — children, teens, and adults alike.
The office feels more like an orthodontic lounge than a traditional waiting room, with an energetic, welcoming atmosphere that never loses sight of clinical excellence. Every treatment plan is customized, every question gets a clear answer, and every patient feels known on an individual level.
How It All Began: The Origin of Chinitz Orthodontics
Chinitz Orthodontics started with a clear mission: Westchester patients deserve better than rushed visits, long waits, and treatment that feels impersonal. Dr. Chinitz had worked in several types of dental and orthodontic settings and saw how often the patient experience was treated as secondary. He and his wife, Janine, combined his clinical standards with her business background to create a different kind of practice.
They opened Chinitz Orthodontics in August 2022, just minutes from where Dr. Chinitz grew up. Their mission remains the same today: to deliver exceptional, customized orthodontic care in a relaxed setting where patients get time, transparency, and personal attention from the people treating them.
Why Patients Choose Chinitz Orthodontics
Patients love how our practice pairs modern clinical tools with a boutique, white-glove approach that keeps care personal from beginning to end. Every detail, from digital scans and customized treatment planning to the lounge-like office, supports a smoother, more transparent experience.
Our practice is locally and privately owned, so treatment decisions stay focused on the patient rather than a corporate system. Dr. Chinitz provides one-on-one attention, explains each option clearly, and uses modern tools to build a customized plan personalized for every patient.

Dr. Isaac Chinitz: A Homegrown, Community-Loving Orthodontist
Chinitz Orthodontics is led by a board-certified orthodontist who pairs advanced training and technology with a straightforward, approachable style. Dr. Chinitz takes time to explain what he sees, why he recommends a treatment, and how each option fits the patient’s goals.
Don’t forget: he’s a local! He attended New Rochelle High School, returned to raise his family nearby, and chose the Chinitz name for his practice because it already carried deep medical roots in the community.

Janine, Director of Operations & Smile Coordinator
Janine’s role at Chinitz Orthodontics is “everything but the teeth!” Janine grew up in Miami, FL, but has fallen in love with the New Rochelle community. She describes it as a place that’s “nothing like she’s ever seen,” and she’s absolutely thrilled to be part of the reason people get to smile. She even had Invisalign treatment from Dr. Chinitz, which gives her special insight into how treatment works for patients.
