Invisalign® for Patients in Brightwaters, NY
Invisalign® may be the ideal treatment option if you want to discreetly get a beautiful, straight smile. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign doesn’t have brackets or wires, making them nearly invisible. Ocean Blue Orthodontics is the Invisalign dentist to turn to in Brightwaters, New York, if you’re looking for a compassionate, skilled team to help you achieve the perfect smile.
Treatment With Invisalign vs. Braces
Invisalign is an effective alternative to traditional braces. As metal braces require brackets and wires to move your teeth into their proper positions, many people find them unsightly and uncomfortable. Invisalign aligners offer the following benefits:
- Discretion – Invisalign features clear plastic aligners that blend seamlessly with your teeth—no one will notice that you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment.
- Convenience – When you choose Invisalign treatment, you won’t have to avoid crunchy, sticky, or hard foods. Since Invisalign trays are removable, you can take them out to eat and drink anything you want. In addition, you can simply remove your trays to brush and floss normally.
- Comfort – Without brackets and wires, you won’t experience any chafing and rawness that may occur with metal braces.
How Invisalign Works
The team at Ocean Blue Orthodontics will evaluate your smile to determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign. Most mild to moderate orthodontic cases can be corrected with clear aligners. Once we confirm that Invisalign is right for you, we will take digital, 3D models of your teeth and send your impressions to Invisalign’s lab to create your custom aligners.
The number of aligners you need depends on your case. You may receive as few as 10 or up to 30 aligners that you will change about every two weeks to move your teeth into their proper alignment. You’ll visit our office approximately once every six weeks to check your progress.
