Invisalign® for Gapped Teeth, Overbites, Underbites and More

Invisalign® Treatments in Manhattan with Midtown Dental Care NYC

Did you know that approximately 10 million people have used Invisalign to help align their teeth? While traditional braces are another popular option, many individuals continue to shift to using Invisalign instead. At Midtown Dental Care, we believe that Invisalign does a phenomenal job shifting patients teeth in a quick, efficient, and inconspicuous way.

What Is Invisalign®?

Invisalign is essentially a set of two clear, plastic aligners that help to shift a patient's teeth slowly over time. The aligners are created based on a mold that is taken of the patient’s teeth. Every one to two weeks, the patient will receive a new, different set of aligners. With each new set, the teeth should move little by little towards becoming more aligned. The patient is expected to wear these aligners approximately 22 hours a day, with the exception of during meals. 

What Does Invisalign® Treat?

While Invisalign is an effective way to align a patient’s teeth, not every individual is a candidate for it. Midtown Dental Care has had great success treating the following dental issues using Invisalign: ď»ż

Underbite

Overbite

Crossbite

Minor misalignment issues

What Are the Benefits of Using Invisalign®?

When Invisalign is used as a solution for a dental issue, such as misalignment, the patient can reap a number of benefits. This is especially true when comparing the use of Invisalign versus the use of traditional braces. While both methods are effective in treating similar issues, Invisalign exhibits the following characteristics that traditional braces do not: 

It’s inconspicuous. Invisalign is clear, which means that it will not attract any attention. This is a notable benefit to individuals who are unsure whether they should choose Invisalign or traditional braces, since the brackets, metal wires, and rubber bands utilized when a patient chooses braces are very noticeable. 

It is not convenient. While traditional braces are adhered to a patient’s mouth until he/she’s teeth are aligned and only then can they can be removed, Invisalign can be taken out and put back in at any time. 

It is easier to clean. Since Invisalign is removable, patients can remove the plastic trays when brushing their teeth. This makes it easy to brush and floss your teeth, and to clean the aligners themselves!
