Invisalign® in New York: Your Guide to a Picture-Perfect Smile

Looking for ways to straighten your smile that won’t have a huge impact on your quality of life throughout the teeth straightening process? Invisalign® is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment method that can improve your smile’s overall health and appearance!

Our Midtown Manhattan locations are Diamond-Level Invisalign providers, so you can rest assured that you’ll receive top-level Invisalign treatment from our expert teams. Wondering if Invisalign is the right option for your needs? Here’s what you need to know about Invisalign to make a well-informed decision for your smile!

Invisalign in New York: Try Clear Aligner Therapy

Have you put off straightening your teeth because you don’t want to spend years in noticeable metal braces? We completely understand! Many patients, especially adults and teens, have expressed to us that they feel like it’s too late for orthodontic treatment because they don’t want to be tied to years in braces.

Luckily, Invisalign provides a clear alternative to traditional braces. Unlike bulky, uncomfortable brackets and wires that may scratch and irritate your gums, Invisalign utilizes smooth plastic aligner trays. Our team custom-makes your trays to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions over time.

The Invisalign Process

Invisalign uses a series of custom-fitted aligners. You’ll wear each set of aligner trays for one to two weeks at a time for 20-22 hours a day.

We advise patients to only remove the trays when eating, drinking, or cleaning their teeth to ensure they’re maximizing their results and minimizing their overall treatment time.

After the teeth have successfully shifted to fit the aligner trays perfectly, patients will graduate onto the next set of aligners and continue the process until the desired end results are achieved!

Getting Started with Invisalign

Starting Invisalign treatment is actually very quick and easy! Instead of having brackets tediously cemented onto each and every tooth, Invisalign uses advanced technology to map out and create your aligners.

During your appointment, our team will discuss your smile goals and complete a full 3D scan of your upper and lower teeth. We’ll send these scans and the treatment plans to a high-tech lab where they will craft your individualized aligner trays.

Once the trays are complete, you will receive a box containing a series of trays that you will move through during your treatment timeline. We’ll conduct routine check-ins and assess your progress, making any necessary adjustments along the way.

Benefits of Invisalign

Choosing between different orthodontic solutions? While there are many treatment options to choose from, Invisalign often comes out on top above the rest. Invisalign takes a modern, revolutionary approach to orthodontic care. It is a popular choice among patients for its flexibility, discretion, and effectiveness.

Some of its benefits include:

Advanced Treatment Planning

With the help of advanced 3D imaging, Invisalign has revolutionized orthodontic treatment planning. With precise digital models of patients’ smiles, an almost-exact roadmap is paved for patients.

They can even see a digitized example of what their teeth will look like once their Invisalign treatment is complete! Invisalign helps take the guesswork out of orthodontics to provide high-tech, carefully designed care.

Discreet, Comfortable Aligners

One of the many perks of Invisalign aligners is that they are designed to blend in seamlessly with your smile. They are made with a transparent material so they aren’t as noticeable as traditional metal braces.

Patients can continue to smile with confidence during Invisalign treatment instead of covering their mouths to hide metal brackets and wires. In addition to their nearly invisible appearance, Invisalign’s smooth aligner trays are crafted to minimize irritation and discomfort for patients.

Improved Oral Health

Straightening your teeth can have a huge impact on your oral health. Crowded, crooked, and gapped teeth can be hard to clean, which can lead to plaque buildup, cavities, and more.

Overbites, underbites, and crossbites can cause worn-down teeth and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues. Proper tooth and bite alignment can help preserve your tooth and gum health and prevent long-term dental problems from arising.

Fewer Appointments & Shorter Treatment Times (On Average)

Unlike braces, Invisalign treatment typically requires fewer in-office appointments. Instead of going in frequently to tighten wires or fix broken brackets, you will receive multiple sets of aligner trays at a time.With Invisalign, you can move on to the next set in the series without having to schedule an appointment.

Invisalign also boasts shorter treatment times on average compared to braces. It can often be a faster solution for patients with mild to moderate orthodontic issues. However, for more complex orthodontic cases, treatment times may be the same or longer.

Boosted Self-Confidence

A straighter smile can transform your self-esteem and self-confidence! When you feel good behind your smile, you’re more likely to feel comfortable in those social situations that you may have once shied away from or feel more confident going into that new job interview. Invisalign can have a positive impact on how you hold yourself and interact with others around you. It can help you shine as bright as we know you can!

What Can Invisalign Treat?

Invisalign can tackle a wide range of orthodontic problems from aesthetics to overall oral health. Some of the most common issues that can be treated with Invisalign include:

• Crossbites: A crossbite occurs when the upper teeth rest just inside the lower set of teeth instead of directly on top. Invisalign can help correct this to prevent worn-down teeth and jaw strain
• Crowded teeth: Teeth can overlap on top of each other or grow in crooked or on top of others. Invisalign will shift teeth into their new positions to prevent wear and tear and tooth decay
• Gaps between teeth: Spaces between teeth can create a non-ideal smile. Invisalign can gently push teeth back together to prevent food and debris from getting stuck and improve the cosmetic features of your smile 
• Relapse from past orthodontic treatments: If you had braces in the past or as a kid, your teeth may have shifted. Invisalign can correct orthodontic relapses to restore tooth and bite alignment 
• Underbites & Overbites: Underbites happen when the lower teeth rest in front of the upper teeth. Overbites happen when the upper teeth rest in front of the lower teeth. Both bite issues can be addressed with Invisalign clear aligners
