Benefits of Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces
Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic technology that has transformed the way people straighten their teeth. This treatment utilizes a series of clear, removable aligners that are custom-made for each patient. One of the key benefits of Invisalign is its nearly invisible appearance, allowing individuals to straighten their teeth discreetly. The aligners are made of a smooth, comfortable material that won't irritate the gums or cheeks. Another advantage is the convenience of being able to remove the aligners when eating, brushing, or flossing, eliminating any dietary restrictions or difficulties maintaining oral hygiene. In terms of efficacy, Invisalign has proven to be highly effective in treating a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including overcrowding, gaps, and bite issues. The treatment process involves a series of gradually changing aligners, which gently and precisely shift the teeth into the desired position over time. With regular check-ups and adjustments from a qualified orthodontist, Invisalign can achieve beautiful, straight teeth and a properly aligned bite. The combination of its discreet appearance, comfort, and successful results has made Invisalign a popular choice among individuals seeking orthodontic treatment.
Why Choose Core Smiles for Invisalign in NYC
Core Smiles in NYC stands out as the ideal choice for your Invisalign provider due to their commitment to recording the accurate position of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The TMJ plays a crucial role in the alignment and function of the jaw. Failing to record the correct position of the TMJ during the treatment planning phase can lead to potential relapse and temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) down the line. At Core Smiles, their experienced team understands the significance of this and ensures that each patient's TMJ position is accurately recorded. By taking this extra step, they can develop a comprehensive treatment plan that not only achieves straight teeth but also promotes a harmonious relationship between the jaw joints and the bite. This attention to detail significantly reduces the risk of relapse and potential TMJ dysfunction, ensuring that the results of your Invisalign treatment are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functionally stable and comfortable. At Core Smiles, you can trust that your Invisalign journey will be guided by experts who prioritize your oral health and long-term satisfaction.

““I have been with Dr. C forever - I think since 2005? I love this Dentist! The office is clean, modern and relaxing. The staff is very comfortable to talk to. They are up front about cost and help explain what the long term goals are. I have 2 children and live in Brooklyn and they always work around my schedule rather than theirs. I’ve had Invisalign and teeth whitening done here. They are helping me work through my Invisalign case where most dentists would have thrown their hands up! I can’t say enough about them. From the reception to the Dr. I only wish they’d take on my girls!””
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
Invisalign utilizes advanced technology to provide a more convenient and aesthetically appealing alternative to traditional metal brackets and wires. The key technology behind Invisalign is computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software. This technology allows for the precise and customized creation of a series of clear aligners that gradually move the teeth into the desired position.
Compared to traditional braces, Invisalign offers several distinct advantages. Firstly, the aligners are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for individuals who wish to straighten their teeth discreetly. This is especially beneficial for adults and professionals who may feel self-conscious about wearing visible metal braces.
Additionally, Invisalign aligners are removable, providing greater convenience in daily life. Patients can easily remove them when eating, brushing, or flossing, eliminating the need for dietary restrictions and making oral hygiene maintenance much simpler compared to traditional braces.
The technology behind Invisalign also allows for a more precise and predictable treatment outcome. Using 3D imaging, the orthodontist can create a virtual representation of the patient's teeth and plan the entire treatment process digitally. This enables the patient to visualize the expected progress and final result before even starting the treatment.
Furthermore, Invisalign aligners are made of smooth and comfortable thermoplastic material, reducing the likelihood of gum or cheek irritation often associated with traditional braces. The aligners are custom-made to fit snugly over the teeth, ensuring a comfortable and precise fit.
Overall, the technological advancements of Invisalign offer patients a more comfortable, convenient, and aesthetically appealing orthodontic treatment option compared to traditional metal brackets and wires.
