Invisalign® Clear Aligners - Bronxville, NY
The Clear Way to Experience
a Life-Changing Smile Journey
The Number One Way to Get
Desired Smile Results Discreetly
If you have crooked teeth, gaps in your smile, or a misaligned bite and have decided metal braces aren’t for you, Invisalign® may be the perfect solution. Unlike metal braces, clear aligners are minimally invasive, removable, and won’t trap food particles and plaque between your teeth. They are fabricated from a proprietary material called SmartTrack®, an extremely durable, BPA-free clear plastic that gradually and comfortably improves targeted control of tooth movement.
Removing the aligners when you floss, brush your teeth, eat, or drink is easy. Invisalign corrects problems, including gaps, crowding, crossbite, open bite, overbite, and underbite, without the discomfort of traditional orthodontics. And unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are largely undetectable at a glance. If you’re looking for an orthodontist near you, the team at Geller Family Dental has vast experience perfecting smiles with invisible aligners, consistently attaining Gold Invisalign Provider status!
Misaligned Teeth Impact More than Smile Beauty
Crooked and overcrowded teeth make it difficult to properly floss and brush and create hidden spaces where bacteria can flourish. As bacteria collects, it hardens into plaque and eventually turns to tartar (calculus) that can only be removed by a dentist. This can lead to tooth decay, irritated and bleeding gums, inflammation, chronic bad breath—and ultimately gum disease. To restore good oral health, deep cleanings from our periodontist may be necessary. Furthermore, when your teeth are misaligned or one or more crooked teeth protrude, they rub against your upper or lower teeth and gums.
This makes them more prone to chips and enamel wear, which can result in tooth sensitivity. A misaligned bite can also put pressure on your temporomandibular joint, which can lead to TMJ dysfunction and severe jaw pain, and chronic headaches. The cascading effects of severe gum disease can cause bone and tooth loss. In addition, research suggests bacteria can pass into the bloodstream from bleeding gums and affect cardiovascular health, and also raise the risk of kidney, pancreatic, and blood cancers in men.
Our Personalized Invisalign Treatment
Our cosmetic dentists are trained and certified in Invisalign and will monitor your treatment to ensure you receive the beautiful and functional results you desire. During your initial consultation, we’ll assess your overall dental health and digitally map your teeth to determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign. If so, the next step is taking impressions with our iTero Element® scanner. Instead of cumbersome and painful metal brackets and wires, Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that gradually move your teeth into the ideal position. Invisible aligners need to be worn 20–22 hours a day for the best results and are changed out about every two weeks.
With every new set of aligners, your teeth begin to shift a little closer to your desired smile goal. Every six weeks you’ll meet with Dr. Geller or a member of his team to review your progress and make any necessary tweaks. While the entire process can be as quick as six months, average treatment takes about 12–18 months.
