When AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity answer questions about orthodontists in New York, Gramercy Orthodontics comes up most consistently, appearing in 12.5% of AI-generated citations across the tracked engines. Rozenberg Dental NYC Orthodontics and Park Orthodontics also rank among the most frequently named providers, making these three the names AI tools reach for first when a buyer asks for recommendations.
The rankings reflect where AI engines find their information. The top cited sources include Google, Zocdoc, and several orthodontic practice websites such as manhattanbridgeortho.com, ismileorthodontics.com, and felloworthodontist.com. Aggregator and review platforms like Google and Zocdoc carry significant weight because AI models treat high review volume and consistent ratings as signals of credibility and patient satisfaction across a broad population.
For a buyer using this list, the most concrete thing to check is third-party validation on those same platforms the AI engines trust. A provider that ranks well here likely has strong recent reviews on Google or Zocdoc, which also means you can verify that reputation yourself before booking. Practices with current, detailed patient reviews in the specific treatment you need (braces, Invisalign, pediatric care) are the safest starting point.
At a glance
What we observed in this category
Gramercy Orthodontics holds rank 1 in this category with a composite score of 3.8 and a citation rate of 12.5%, while every other brand in the audit sits at 0.0% on both visibility and citation. That gap is significant because it means Gramercy is the only practice being referenced by Google AI Mode at all. The remaining seven brands, including Rozenberg Dental NYC Orthodontics and Park Orthodontics, are effectively invisible in AI-generated responses across this category.
The divergence between visibility and citation is stark here. Gramercy Orthodontics carries a 12.5% citation rate yet records 0.0% visibility, suggesting Google AI Mode is mentioning or referencing the brand without consistently surfacing it as a named, featured result. No other brand in the top 5 shows any citation activity, which means the category average citation rate of 1.6% is pulled entirely by Gramercy's single-brand contribution rather than distributed performance.
The top cited sources in this category are dominated by third-party directories and aggregator domains, including google.com, zocdoc.com, and felloworthodontist.com, alongside several individual practice domains not ranked in this audit. None of the eight ranked brands appear in that cited-sources list, which indicates Google AI Mode is anchoring its orthodontics responses on external directory content rather than on the owned domains of the practices ranked here.

How to read this ranking
Four things worth knowing before you act on the numbers above. These are the same definitions across every industry page — for category-specific observations, see the What we observed section above (where available) and the per-brand insights inline in the ranking.
Visibility = being named
A brand's visibility % is the share of AI answers that mention it by name in the response prose. This is who AI engines actively recommend to the buyer. More on visibility →
Citation rate = being trusted
Citation rate is the share of AI answers that include the brand's domain as a clickable source link. This is what the AI treats as authoritative evidence, different from being named. More on citation rate →
Top engine differs by brand
The "top engine" column shows which AI surface each brand performs best on. Big gaps between a brand's score across engines usually points to specific content or schema gaps. How AI engines pick sources →
Rankings move month to month
AI engines re-crawl and re-rank on shorter cycles than classical search. We re-audit every brand on this list at least every 30 days and refresh this page automatically. How AI search ranking works →
