You may be wondering why we offer Invisalign, not just regular metal braces. Here are some reasons why many adult patients choose Invisalign over traditional braces.
Traditional braces may be required for complicated orthodontic care, but Invisalign can be used to correct a wide range of orthodontic problems including gaps, alignment issues, underbite, overbite, or even turned teeth.
The retainers are made of incredibly durable SmartTrack® material, invisalign retainers are smooth, contoured for your mouth, and completely clear. In fact, many patients report that even close friends and family members don’t realize they are getting orthodontic treatment, because the retainers are so subtle. On the other hand, traditional metal braces can make you look like a teenager, which makes it harder to be taken seriously in the workplace.
Unlike metal braces, which have small brackets that are glued to your teeth, the Invisalign system is completely removable, and only needs to be worn 20-22 hours a day. You get to remove them before eating, allowing you to enjoy your normal diet. Since Invisalign retainers can be removed for big events, they won’t interfere with things like dating, public speaking, or family pictures.
Most people don’t mention it, but traditional metal braces can be hard on your gums and cheeks. The sharp brackets and wires can cause painful oral lacerations or canker sores, while the Invisalign system is designed not to irritate your cheeks or gums.
Because Invisalign retainers are completely removable, they also allow people to take better care of their teeth during orthodontic care. In the morning and at night, you can completely remove your retainers to brush and floss thoroughly. You get to keep your gum tissue healthy and strong, and keep your teeth white and free of cavities during orthodontic care.
Since each Invisalign system is customized for the patient it is made for, they work faster than traditional metal braces. In fact, depending on the condition of your teeth, treatment time could be reduced by as much as half if you choose Invisalign over regular metal braces.
Although many people assume that Invisalign in Westchester is much more expensive than traditional braces, it is very close to the same price. Since Invisalign eliminates many of the problems people experience with traditional braces and the treatment is shorter, it is an incredibly cost effective orthodontic solution.
Receiving Invisalign retainers is incredibly straightforward. Here is how the Invisalign process works.

Request an AppointmentBefore you are fitted for your Invisalign, it is important for your Westchester orthodontist to determine whether the system is right for your dental concerns. Your dentist will talk with you about your dental goals, your oral health history and your timeline to determine if Invisalign fits your needs and budget. Good candidates for Invisalign need to be motivated to wear their retainers and committed to their oral health.
If you are a good candidate for Invisalign, the cosmetic dentist will use special tools to take very precise measurements of your teeth. Using a series of scans, X-rays, and impressions, the dentists will create a 3D rendering of your teeth for the lab technicians to use. Using this rendering, dentists can create a very precise plan to straighten your teeth step by step. Advanced Dentistry of Scarsdale has its very own dental lab, speeding the fabrication of your Invisalign retainers.
Depending on the current lab workload, you will receive your retainers within 1-2 weeks. Each time you are fitted with a new Invisalign retainer, it will be carefully checked for fit and comfort.
As you wear your retainers, they will gently move your teeth into place. You will receive a new set of retainers every 2 weeks.
After your Invisalign treatment is complete, nightly retainers will be worn to maintain your results.
