Invisalign® Treatments in Tribeca, NYC

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign treatment employs a series of customized aligners to gradually move your teeth to their ideal positions. Made from a patented material designed specifically for orthodontics, Invisalign aligners are comfortable and easy to take off and put on.

How Does Invisalign Work?

Here’s how Invisalign works:

1. Digital 3D Scans: Using the iTero® scanner, we create precise digital impressions of your teeth—no messy molds required.
   
2. Custom Aligner Fabrication: A series of clear aligners is designed specifically for your smile goals.
   
3. Gentle Tooth Movements: Each set of aligners applies controlled pressure to targeted teeth, shifting them step by step.
   
4. Regular Check-ins: Every 1–2 weeks, you switch to a new aligner set while we monitor your progress in-office or virtually.
   
5. Completion & Retainers: Once treatment ends, retainers help maintain your newly aligned smile.

Because the aligners are removable, you can eat, brush, and floss normally—something braces don’t allow. This makes Invisalign one of the most lifestyle-friendly orthodontic treatments available in New York City today.

Who is the Right Candidate for Invisalign Treatment in NYC?

Many people assume Invisalign is only for mild cases, but advances in technology now allow it to treat a wide range of orthodontic issues. You may be a candidate if you have:

• Crowded teeth
  
• Gaps between teeth
  
• Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
  
• Mild to moderate alignment concerns

Adults and teens alike can benefit from Invisalign in Manhattan, especially if aesthetics, convenience, and comfort are priorities. However, very complex orthodontic cases may still require traditional braces or a hybrid approach.

The best way to determine candidacy is through a consultation at Tribeca Dental Studio, where we evaluate your bite, alignment, and treatment goals.

Invisalign vs Braces

Advantages of Invisalign over traditional braces include that they:

• Are clear and inconspicuous
• Can be easily removed for eating or drinking whatever you like
• Are easy to put on
• Require fewer office visits
• Tend to be more comfortable overall
• Come with no food restrictions
• Usually involve a shorter treatment time

Invisalign Treatment Process (Step-by-Step)

Understanding how Invisalign works is the first step toward appreciating its simplicity and effectiveness. The journey is a collaborative process between you and our expert team.

• Step 1: Your Initial Consultation. The process begins with a comprehensive consultation at our Tribeca dental studio. We’ll discuss your smile goals, examine your teeth, and determine if you are a good candidate.
• Step 2: Custom Digital Treatment Plan. We use a state-of-the-art iTero® digital scanner to create a fast, precise 3D model of your teeth—no messy impressions needed. With this model, we can map out the exact movement of your teeth and even show you a digital preview of your final smile before your treatment even begins.
• Step 3: Receiving Your Custom Aligners. Based on your personalized plan, a series of custom aligners is fabricated from Invisalign’s proprietary SmartTrack® material. This advanced material provides gentle, more predictable tooth movement and enhanced comfort.
• Step 4: Wearing Your Aligners. You’ll wear each set of aligners for 20-22 hours a day, switching to a new set approximately every one to two weeks, as directed by your dentist. You only remove them to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
• Step 5: Monitoring Your Progress. You will have regular check-ups with us every six to eight weeks to monitor your progress and receive your next set of aligners.

How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?

Treatment time varies based on your particular situation, but it typically spans anywhere from 9-15 months.

Health Benefits of Invisalign Beyond Aesthetics

Invisalign delivers significant health advantages beyond aesthetic improvements. Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing cavities and gum disease risk. Proper alignment improves chewing efficiency, alleviates strain on the TMJ, and reduces uneven wear. By closing gaps and correcting crowding, Invisalign protects gum health.

With no food restrictions and removable aligners, you enjoy lifestyle freedom. Invisalign isn’t just about a beautiful smile; it’s an investment in long-term oral health, providing benefits that enhance overall well-being and confidence in your smile. Many patients also choose teeth whitening at the end of treatment to complete their smile transformation.

Caring for Your Invisalign Aligners

To keep your aligners clean and effective:

• Rinse them after meals
• Brush gently with a soft toothbrush (no toothpaste)
• Use Invisalign Cleaning Crystals or mild soap
• Store them in their case when not in use
• Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic
