Virtually Invisible Invisalign® Treatment in West Islip, NY
If you want to get the smile you’ve always wanted without anyone noticing, Invisalign® may be the perfect option. While traditional braces are effective, Invisalign is a virtually invisible orthodontic treatment method that avoids brackets and wires while delivering stunning results. Ocean Blue Orthodontics is a skilled Invisalign dentist providing this treatment option in West Islip, New York, and we’d be happy to help you achieve the smile of your dreams.
Why Choose Invisalign?
Invisalign aligners are an effective alternative to metal braces that provide the following benefits:
- Discretion – Invisalign trays are essentially nearly invisible braces—no one will notice that you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment.
- Convenience – While you have to avoid crunchy, sticky, or hard foods with traditional braces, you can simply remove your Invisalign trays and eat and drink normally.
- Comfort – Invisalign’s smooth plastic aligners won’t chafe or create rawness that tends to occur with traditional braces.
- Easy brushing and flossing – Traditional braces require extra care, and the brackets and wires make it harder to brush and floss. With Invisalign, you can remove your trays and brush and floss like normal, preventing cavities and tooth decay.
Most patients who opt for Invisalign have mild to moderate orthodontic issues—if you have severe misalignment or other problems, you may have to undergo treatment with traditional braces. During your evaluation, we will determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign.
The Next Steps
Our orthodontist will take a digital, 3D model of your teeth and send impressions to Invisalign’s lab to create your custom set of aligners. The number of aligners you need depends on your unique case—you may receive as few as 10 or up to 30.
As you move through your aligners, your teeth gradually move into their proper places. You’ll wear each aligner for about two weeks and have our orthodontist check your progress approximately once every six weeks.
