At Cosmetic Dental Studios in Manhattan, NY, top celebrity dentist Dr. Victoria Veytsman provides her patients with highly tailored Invisalign aligners to gradually straighten teeth without interfering with eating and dental hygiene routines. Individuals can be just months away from attaining radiant smiles and improved oral health.
What is Invisalign Treatment?
Invisalign aligners are a cosmetic dental procedure that has grown in popularity among teenagers and adults. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are clear and removable for aesthetic and hygiene reasons. Each tray, or aligner, is custom-designed to gently and safely straighten teeth over a set period. At Cosmetic Dental Studios, Dr. Veytsman carefully assesses your teeth and overall oral health to determine if Invisalign aligners are right for you.
Benefits of Invisalign Aligners
Invisalign aligners provide patients with numerous benefits, including:
- Clear, aesthetically pleasing trays
- Removable aligners for easy cleaning and meal routines
- Rupture tabs to ensure optimal wear time
- Replacement aligners for damaged or missing trays
- Personalized fit for enhanced comfort and effective treatment
- Fewer orthodontic check-ups are required
How do I Know if Invisalign Aligners are Right for Me?
You may be an ideal candidate for Invisalign aligners if you:
- Have good oral health
- Have gapped, misaligned, or crooked teeth
- Have an overbite, a crossbite, or an underbite
- Want to try an alternative to traditional metal braces
- Have all your permanent teeth
- Can adhere to a regular aligner schedule
Dr. Veytsman analyzes the current status of your teeth and oral structures utilizing digital scans and other cosmetic dental assessment tools. Patients with active oral infection, gum disease, untreated tooth decay, or other dental concerns may not be eligible for Invisalign aligners until these issues are resolved.
How the Fitting Process Works
A patient attends a scheduled fitting at Cosmetic Dental Studios in Manhattan, NY, where Dr. Veytsman will make digital impressions of the teeth. Impression results are sent to the laboratory, where custom Invisalign aligners are developed. Once the aligners are ready, the patient returns to our office,e where Dr. Veytsman will fit the first set of aligners to the teeth. Every two weeks, the aligners are replaced with the next set to straighten the teeth to their ideal position gradually.
How Long Do I have To Wear Invisalign Aligners?
Wear time will vary by patient, depending on the initial position of their teeth. Typically, individuals can expect to wear Invisalign aligners anywhere from a few months to a year. Consult with Dr. Veytsman about what to expect for your unique treatment schedule.
Will My Invisalign Aligner Results Last?
Once you’ve completed your Invisalign treatment wear schedule, Dr. Veytsman will fit you for an Invisalign retainer to prevent the teeth from migrating back into an abnormal position. If patients consistently wear their retainer and practice healthy lifestyle habits, their Invisalign results can potentially last for many years.
Caring for My Teeth When Using Invisalign Aligners
Since the aligners are removable, patients can maintain a relatively normal at-home dental hygiene routine without having to work around orthodontic hardware. Here are a few ways to care for your teeth at home:
- Brush and floss twice daily
- Use a mouth rinse to remove tartar buildup
- Gently brush and sanitize your Invisalign aligners daily
- Avoid eating excessively chewy, sticky, crunchy, or hard foods
- Eat healthy, nutritious foods
- Stay well hydrated
- Protect the teeth with a mouth guard during contact sports
