CLEAR ALIGNER ORTHODONTICS
What Is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® uses a series of clear, custom made aligners that gently move your teeth over time. Instead of brackets and wires, you wear removable trays that fit over your teeth and are changed as your smile progresses.
For many adults and teens, the biggest benefit is simple: you can straighten your teeth without making orthodontic treatment the first thing people notice.
Simple idea:
You wear each set of aligners in sequence, and every tray helps guide your teeth closer to their planned position.

Why NYC Professionals Choose Invisalign®
Your orthodontic treatment should fit into your life, not make your life feel harder. Invisalign® is popular with adults and busy professionals who want a straighter smile without visible braces, food restrictions, or major routine changes.
Greater Confidence
Feel more comfortable smiling, laughing, and speaking without hiding your teeth.
Each aligner is worn in order. As you move through the series, your teeth are guided closer to the position planned during your digital treatment setup.
Digital Smile Mapping
Your teeth are digitally scanned so your aligner plan can be created around your current alignment and smile goals.
Custom Aligner Series
A series of clear trays is made for your smile. Each aligner is slightly different from the one before it.
Gentle Tooth Movement
The aligners apply controlled pressure to selected teeth, helping guide them gradually into better alignment.
Progress Over Time
As you change aligners as directed, your smile continues moving toward the planned final position.
The Invisalign® Treatment Process
From your first consultation to your final aligner, each step is designed to be clear, comfortable, and tailored to your smile goals.
1. Digital Smile Consultation
We evaluate your teeth, bite, gums, and smile goals to see whether Invisalign® is a good fit.
2. 3D Digital Scan
Instead of messy impressions, digital scanning helps create a precise model of your teeth and plan your aligner movement.
3. Custom Aligner Plan
Your aligners are designed to move your teeth step by step based on your treatment plan.
4. Aligner Fitting
When your aligners arrive, we check the fit, explain how to wear them, and answer your questions.
5. Progress Checkups
You’ll visit us periodically so we can monitor your progress and make sure treatment is staying on track.
6. Long Term Smile Protection
Once your teeth are perfectly straight, we provide a custom retainer to protect your investment and ensure your smile never shifts back out of place.

FIND OUT IF CLEAR ALIGNERS FIT YOUR LIFE
Is Invisalign® the Right Fit for Your Smile?
If you want straighter teeth but feel unsure about braces, visibility, comfort, or treatment time, Invisalign® may be a good option. Your consultation will help confirm whether clear aligners can safely and effectively move your teeth based on your smile, bite, and lifestyle.
MAY BE A GOOD FIT
Invisalign® may be ideal if:
You want to straighten your teeth without visible brackets or wires
You feel self conscious about crowded, spaced, or shifted teeth
You prefer a removable option for meals, brushing, and flossing
You have a busy work, school, or social schedule
You can wear your aligners consistently each day
NEEDS PROFESSIONAL REVIEW
A consultation is important if:
Your bite concern feels more complex than mild crowding or spacing
You have active gum inflammation, cavities, or dental health concerns
Your teeth shifted after braces and you are not sure why
You grind your teeth or notice jaw tension, clenching, or bite discomfort
Your teeth look very crowded, rotated, or shifted and need a clear aligner evaluation
Your smile is unique.
Invisalign® is not one-size-fits-all. Our team will evaluate your teeth, bite, gums, and smile goals before recommending the best treatment path.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign®
Take the first step toward the smile you’ve always wanted. Schedule your comprehensive digital scan and consultation with our expert team today.
Is Invisalign® painful?
Most patients feel mild pressure when starting a new aligner tray. This usually means the aligners are beginning to move the teeth. The feeling is typically temporary.
How many hours per day do I need to wear Invisalign®?
Most clear aligner treatment requires consistent daily wear. The AAO explains that aligners are typically worn at least 22 hours per day, depending on the treatment plan. (American Association of Orthodontists)
Can Invisalign® fix crowded teeth?
Yes, Invisalign® may help with many crowded teeth cases. Severe crowding may need braces or another approach, which we can determine during your consultation.
Can Invisalign® close gaps?
In many cases, clear aligners can help close spaces between teeth. Your dentist will evaluate the size of the gaps and your bite before recommending treatment.
Is Invisalign® better than braces?
Not always. Invisalign® is more discreet and removable, while braces may be better for complex cases. The best option depends on your teeth and bite.
Can I eat with Invisalign®?
You should remove your aligners before eating. This helps protect the trays and lets you enjoy meals without the restrictions that often come with braces.
Will Invisalign® affect my speech?
Some patients notice a slight lisp for a short time when they first begin wearing aligners. Most adjust quickly.
Do I need retainers after Invisalign®?
Yes. Retainers help maintain your new alignment and reduce the risk of teeth shifting again.
