How Invisalign Works at WGD
Invisalign does the exact same job as traditional braces – but rather than relying on metal brackets and wires that are bonded to the teeth, clear plastic aligners are worn over them instead. These trays apply gentle, targeted pressure to the teeth and encourage them to move into healthier, straighter positions. Patients must wear the trays continuously, only removing them to eat and brush their teeth, and will advance to new sets of trays as their treatment progresses.
Who Can Invisalign Help?
It’s important to note that, although Invisalign is one of the most enticing orthodontic solutions out there, it isn’t suitable for every patient. That’s why the initial consultation is so important! During this visit, we’ll get an in-depth understanding of your dental needs and smile goals to determine if you’re a good candidate. In the meantime, you can read on to learn more about the orthodontic problems clear aligners can address, starting with overcrowding.
Crowded Teeth
Do your teeth crowd together to the point that they overlap? Unfortunately, the unique crevices can easily trap food particles, plaque, and other debris, which increases your risk of dental problems. The good news is that metal braces are no longer the only solution! With Invisalign aligners, we can help patients with mild to moderate cases achieve the straight, beautiful smile they’ve always wanted.
Gaps Between Teeth
If you have one large gap between your two front teeth or several smaller spaces throughout your mouth, you’ll be happy to hear that Invisalign can usually help! If we determine that this is the best orthodontic treatment for you, then we will create a custom series of aligners designed to move your teeth closer together, creating a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing smile in the process.
Overbite
If your upper teeth protrude beyond your lower ones more than they should, you might have an overbite. Since this orthodontic problem can lead to several issues, including trouble enunciating clearly, we recommend exploring your treatment options sooner rather than later. If you’re wondering if Invisalign can fix overbites, the answer is “yes” for patients with mild to moderate cases.
Underbite
While some patients are struggling with overbites, others are dealing with the opposite problem: their lower teeth sit in front of their upper ones. If that’s the case for you, you may think that metal braces are your only option. The truth is that Invisalign aligners can help patients struggling with this bite problem as long as it isn’t too severe. So, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation with us!
Crossbite
Crossbites often aren’t as talked about, but that doesn’t make them any less serious. In fact, even in relatively mild cases, they can lead to TMJ dysfunction, chronic jaw pain, and premature wear and tear on your teeth. That’s why we advise against taking the “wait and see” approach. Instead, come to our office and schedule a consultation so we can determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign.
Open Bite
When you bite down, your upper and lower teeth should come together evenly. If they don’t because there is a space that’s preventing that from happening, you likely have an open bite. There are several ways we can fix this orthodontic problem, including with Invisalign clear aligners.
The Benefits of Vivera Retainers
After completing Invisalign treatment, keeping your new smile in place is just as important as creating it. That’s where Vivera® retainers come in. These clear retainers are designed by the same experts behind Invisalign and offer a reliable, comfortable, and discreet way to maintain your results for the long term.
Here’s why so many patients love Vivera:
- Virtually Invisible – Just like Invisalign aligners, Vivera retainers are made from clear, high-quality material that’s hardly noticeable when worn.
- Strong & Long-Lasting – Vivera retainers are made from a material that’s up to 30% stronger than other clear retainers, meaning less chance of cracks or wear over time.
- Custom Fit for Comfort – Each set is 3D-printed using your final Invisalign scan, ensuring a snug, personalized fit that’s easy to wear day or night.
- Removable Convenience – You can take them out when eating, brushing, or flossing—making them a hassle-free part of your daily routine.
- Ongoing Smile Protection – Vivera helps safeguard the progress you’ve made, preventing your teeth from shifting back over time.
If you’ve recently completed Invisalign—or are wrapping up treatment soon—ask our team about getting started with Vivera. It’s a simple next step to keep your smile looking its best for years to come.
Benefits of Invisalign
Patients who undergo Invisalign treatment enjoy a long list of enticing benefits, including clear, barely noticeable aligners. We’ll discuss all of them more in-depth at your consultation, but you’re free to read on to learn more in the meantime. Some may surprise you!
There Aren’t Any Dietary Restrictions
In an effort to prevent common orthodontic emergencies, like broken brackets, patients with traditional braces are given a long list of dietary restrictions. Since clear aligners are removable, that’s not necessary with Invisalign. In fact, as long as you eat mostly healthy, well-balanced meals, you’re free to enjoy all of your favorite foods on your journey to your dream smile!
The Aligners Are Basically Invisible
For decades, patients who wanted a straighter, healthier smile were left with one choice: to wear metal brackets and wires. Fortunately, that’s no longer the case! As the name implies, Invisalign aligners are mostly invisible and undetectable when worn, which is yet another reason why many patients prefer them over traditional orthodontics.
The Average Treatment Timeline Is Shorter
Invisalign treatment timelines are shorter than those of metal braces (around 12-18 months). That’s another reason patients who have an important event on the horizon, like their wedding, love clear aligners. Not only are they discreet and comfortable, but they also usually deliver results much quicker than traditional braces.
Taking Care of Your Teeth (and Your Trays!) Is Easy
One benefit of this smile-enhancing treatment that’s often overlooked is just how easy it is to take care of your teeth and your trays. Simply remove your aligners and proceed with your usual dental care regimen. Then, use a damp, soft-bristled toothbrush and a clear, mild dishwashing liquid to clean your trays.
Tip: If your aligners start to stain or smell, soak them in a dentist-approved cleaning solution for 15 minutes or so each day.
There Are Fewer Progress Visits
Unlike traditional braces, there aren’t monthly adjustment appointments with Invisalign. Instead, you’ll be given several sets of aligners so you can progress through portions of your treatment plan at home. Then, every 6-8 weeks, you’ll come to our office so we can monitor the movement of your teeth. If everything looks good, then you’ll likely be in and out of our office in 30 minutes or less!
The Aligners Are Versatile
While severe cases of malocclusion usually require traditional braces, patients who are struggling with mild to moderate misalignment are often candidates for Invisalign. Of course, the easiest way to find out if that’s the case for you is by scheduling a consultation with us. From there, we can learn all about your dental history, needs, and goals to determine if this is the best orthodontic treatment for you!
Living with Invisalign Aligners
If you are interested in learning what day-to-day life looks like with Invisalign before signing on the dotted line, you’re in the right place! In this next section, we’re covering helpful information on wearing your aligners, how to keep them clean, what to do if you accidentally misplace them, and more. So, read on!
Wearing Your Trays
There’s really only one “rule” when it comes to wearing your aligners: you need to keep them on for a minimum of 20 hours a day. There are several steps we recommend taking to make this goal a reality, including only taking them off when it’s absolutely necessary and putting them back on ASAP. If you aren’t sure whether or not you’re meeting the mark, you can use the stopwatch on your phone, too!
Cleaning Your Aligners
Don’t worry – you don’t need to buy a bunch of new, expensive cleaning products to keep your aligners clean and clear. In fact, you probably have the two things you need already: a soft-bristle toothbrush and clear, mild soap. Simply use the two to remove saliva, plaque, and other debris from the surface after each meal. If you want to give your aligners a deeper clean, you can use the cleaning crystals that came in your welcome kit, too!
Eating & Drinking
Since there aren’t any strict dietary restrictions with Invisalign, you can continue to enjoy all of your favorite foods throughout your orthodontic treatment. All we ask is that you don’t overindulge on sugary treats, including soda, caramel-filled candies, and ice cream, since that can quickly lead to tooth decay. It’s also a good idea to exercise caution with crunchy foods, like popcorn, since they can cause an attachment to break.
Losing or Damaging a Tray
Whether there is a serious crack running down one of your aligners or you can’t find yours even after retracing your steps, the best thing to do is get in touch with our team at Westchester Gentle Dentistry. The sooner you do, the sooner we can determine what needs to be done to get you back on track with your treatment plan.
Attending Progress Visits
Another important part of life with Invisalign is one that patients often forget: attending progress visits. These routine appointments allow our Port Chester dental team to monitor the movement of your teeth. If you’re on track with your treatment plan, then we will give you the next several sets of aligners and see you at your next visit. If you aren’t, don’t worry – we can determine why that is and make the necessary adjustments.
Understanding the Cost of Invisalign
We know that understanding the cost of Invisalign is an important part of the decision-making process. It can be hard to feel good about an orthodontic treatment if you have to break the bank. Fortunately, there are several ways you can save money on Invisalign aligners with our office – some even say that we have the best Invisalign deal in New York!
New York's Best Invisalign® Deal
So, what makes our Invisalign deal the best? Most of the time, Invisalign cost estimates vary depending on factors like the severity of your misalignment and how well you stick to your wear-times. If you get off track because you forgot to insert your aligners for a few hours or lost a tray during your travels, your treatment expenses can go up significantly.
We do things a bit differently. When you start an Invisalign treatment with our office, you can get an all-inclusive price of $275.31 per month – that’s $0 down and 0% interest for 12 months (with Cherry approval, that’s $3,579 for a year of treatment, no matter how many extra aligners you may need). Oh, and the best part? There aren’t any hidden costs. Give us a call, and we’ll set you up with New York’s best Invisalign deal – no strings attached.
Does Invisalign Cost More Than Mail-In Aligners?
Upfront, Invisalign does tend to cost more money than mail-in aligners. However, an important difference between a professional treatment and a mail-in one is just that: one is overseen by qualified professionals, and the other isn’t. You see, mail-in companies don’t have to have any dentists on-staff. Rest assured, our team knows what they’re doing, and won’t risk making your orthodontic situation worse.
Is Invisalign Worth the Cost?
Many of our patients think so. After all, straightening your smile comes with oral health benefits that will ultimately prevent you from needing more costly treatments in the future. Plus, the confidence that comes with a perfect smile is truly priceless!
