Huntington Station Invisalign

Many people avoid straightening their smile for a variety of reasons including fear of pain, fear of time commitment, embarrassment, or even putting it off due to daily life.

Traditionally, steel braces have been the go-to treatment for straightening your smile, which puts many people off from orthodontics.

However, as technology advances, so does the dental field.

Our practice is proud to offer Invisalign clear braces in Huntington Station, which allows you to straighten your smile on your terms.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign are clear plastic aligners worn in the mouth for a set period of time in order to straighten the teeth. The amount of time that you wear these aligners will be set by your dentist, and depends on the overall health and desired straightness of the teeth.

However, without any permanent fixtures, these aligners can be removed when needed for cleaning, sleeping, and other needs. At your first appointment, your Huntington Station Invisalign dentist will likely start with X-rays to look at the overall condition of the mouth and then discuss your straightening goals with you. From there, you will get custom molds made so that your Invisalign aligners fit perfectly into your mouth. You will then begin to wear them on a set schedule, checking in with your dentist as needed for size adjustments.

Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign offers a variety of benefits over traditional steel braces, including:

Discrete Wear: While steel braces and headgear are easily noticeable, the clear Invisalign aligners are more discrete, meaning you can wear them during the day without much attention. The removable nature also allows you to take them out for cleaning, eating, sleeping, and other important needs.

Custom Fit: Often, traditional braces can be ill-fitted and can leave wearers with pressure, pain, sores, and redness. However, the smooth plastic of Invisalign is custom-fit to your mouth, ensuring that no pain or pressure points arise.

Shorter Wear Times: Invisalign clear aligners often require less wear time than traditional braces, as they are frequently resized and refitted to match the changing alignment of the mouth.
