Invisalign in NYC

A girl invisalign

Everyone wants straight teeth. However, no one wants to wear braces. Invisalign is the perfect solution for adults who are ashamed of their crooked teeth but even more ashamed of the idea of a mouth full of metal. With a series of custom-made clear plastic aligners, Invisalign inconspicuously straightens teeth little by little. If you’re curious about Invisalign, don’t hesitate to set up an initial consultation at Park 56 Dental of NYC.

Invisalign Process

Before you come in for a consultation, it’s a good idea to learn more about Invisalign so you can determine whether it’s the right treatment for you. Here’s a quick look at what you can expect from Invisalign treatment.

  • Initial Examination: During your initial visit, your dentist will carefully examine your teeth and put together a treatment plan. He will then take a detailed 3D image of your mouth to make sure your custom aligners are well designed.
  • Aligner Creation: Your dentist will send the 3D imaging off to a lab, where all your plastic aligners will be manufactured. You can expect your aligners to arrive within a few weeks.
  • Orthodontic Treatment: You will begin treatment once the plastic trays arrive, and receive new trays once every couple weeks. Within a matter of months, your teeth will be completely straight.

Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign is the orthodontic treatment of choice for millions of adults. Here are some of the benefits you will enjoy by choosing Invisalign instead of traditional metal braces.

  • Discreet Treatment: Perhaps the biggest advantage of Invisalign is that the plastic aligner trays are hardly noticeable. You won’t feel the need to hide your smile during treatment, and no one will know that you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment unless you tell them.
  • Minimal Discomfort: Metal braces are notoriously uncomfortable. Invisalign, on the other hand, is extremely gentle. Throughout the treatment process, you won’t have to worry about painful metal jabbing into your gums, cheeks, and tongue.
  • No Diet Limitations: Since you can remove your Invisalign trays at any time, you won’t need to limit your diet in any way. Invisalign also makes it incredibly easy to floss and brush your teeth, as you won’t have to work around the wires and brackets.

1

What is it?

Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you’re wearing. So, you can smile more during treatment as well as after. Invisalign is made with 3D computer imaging technology and has been proven effective. More than 70% of orthodontists in the US and Canada are certified to treat with Invisalign.

Why would I want it?

Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem. They are also comfortable, with no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time in your doctor’s office getting adjustments. Invisalign also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.

How does it work?

You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move — little by little, week by week — until they have straightened to their final positions. You’ll visit us about once every six weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time typically lasts nine to 15 months, and the number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both numbers will vary from case to case.
