Invisalign

Among the many orthodontic treatments offered in our New Hyde Park dental practice, Invisalign is one of the most highly requested. With Invisalign, clear plastic aligners are worn to straighten the teeth and improve bite problems, such as overbites and underbites. Invisalign braces are similar to traditional braces in straightening teeth, though they can be removed and are practically invisible to others.

The procedure for getting Invisalign starts with impressions of the teeth to make the first set of aligners. Dr. Amit Pandya instructs the patient to wear the aligners at all times, except when eating or brushing their teeth. A new set of aligners are made about every 2-4 weeks, which work just like tightening wires of traditional braces. Mild to moderate spacing, crowding and bite issues can be corrected with Invisalign.

If you are wanting to have braces that are more comfortable and less conspicuous, consider getting Invisalign. To find out if this is a good option for you, call our dental practice at 516-233-2135 to discuss Invisalign and the many benefits.

If you look at all of the possible orthodontic options available today, there’s a smile straightening solution for every alignment issue.  Whether you need minor cosmetic adjustments or a treatment that corrects moderate to substantial bite misalignments, gaps, crowding and other concerns, there is an orthodontic solution that will bring you closer to your ideal smile.

We offer a comprehensive array of orthodontic here at our New Hyde Park practice. They include:

• Invisalign – This brand of clear, plastic tooth aligner provides patients with an incremental tooth adjustment, all amounting to a software-driven, projected smile design. Invisalign is very discreet, removable and convienient for adults and some teens. Invisalign provides the best results when used for mild to moderate cosmetic smile alignments.


• Clear and Ceramic Braces – These braces function very much like traditional metal braces, gradually adjusting the alignment of the teeth through the use of brackets. One of their primary advantages over traditional braces is their clear components, which are not easily visible in photographs or from a distance. They’re a great option for teens and adults who are looking for a discreet treatment that provides effective results.


• Traditional Metal Braces – Tried and trusted for good reason, traditional metal braces can be used to effectively correct a wide range of alignment issues. Although still metallic in appearance, traditional metal braces have come a long way to be more comfortable and sleek than ever.  They can also be customized with colored bands. This form or orthodontic treatment is great for kids, teens and adults.
