 Long Beach InvisalignWe are a state of the art Dental Office located in Island Park, New York. Browse our site to see what invisalign can do for you!Most of us are familiar with the traditional method of straightening teeth through the use of braces. With the evolvement of dental technology, the use for braces is being replaced by a new technology called Invisalign. What exactly is Invisalign you may ask?  
The Invisalign technology uses a series of clear plastic retainers to move your teeth. The retainers are custom fitted to your teeth and are worn and switched out with a new set of retainers about every two weeks. The retainers are made and calibrated to gradually shift your teeth into place to make them straight. This technology completely eliminates the need for bulky braces and wires as it uses clear retainer technology so that the person can wear the retainers without anyone even noticing. The removability also allows a person to remove their retainer so they can give a speech or do anything that a retainer may hamper.
While not having to have braces is a large benefit, there are also several other benefits that are associated with this new Invisalign technology. These benefits include: effectiveness, comfort, clarity, and removability. The ability to have your teeth being straightened without anyone knowing is a huge pull to this technology as braces are bulky, cut your lips, and just hurt. Invisalign uses the same concept that braces use, but eliminates the permanent aspect of it all as the retainers can be removed at any time. The Invisalign technology is also much more comfortable as opposed to braces and yet is still effective.

Invisalign is a removable orthodontic appliance offered as an alternative to more traditional orthodontic solutions. A type of clear tooth aligner, Invisalign is intended for people who find the idea of a mouthful of metal braces and brackets - however effective - too unattractive to commit to. If you are a candidate for Invisalign or other “invisible braces,” you can maintain your smile esthetics while straightening your teeth. An Introduction to Invisalign
Today, Invisalign is a leading brand of orthodontic appliance, primarily because the removable aligners (less than one millimeter thick) are designed to be more esthetically pleasing than conventional wire-and-bracket dental braces for treating certain types of minor misaligned tooth problems. How Long Beach Invisalign WorksThe use of a series of removable aligners for the adjustment of occlusion (bite) is not new. The Invisalign method is based on a concept first introduced in the 1940s and revisited in the 1970s that required a series of dental impressions to determine the optimal position of the teeth. The Invisalign method is simpler than its predecessors, requiring only one set of impressions and photographs of the teeth, taken during an initial consultation. These impressions are used to create a three-dimensional computer projection of how the teeth could be moved incrementally, forming the basis for developing a series of custom-made aligners designed to accomplish this movement. Invisalign aligners are manufactured at the Align Technologies dental laboratory using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) processes. The aligners are sent to the dentist, who typically dispenses them in groups of one or two at a time during regular check-up appointments (about every four to six weeks) so that treatment can be properly managed. Each aligner must be worn in its specific order for about two weeks, during which time it moves the teeth in small increments of about .25 millimeters to .33 millimeters. Although the aligners are removable (for eating, drinking certain beverages and brushing/flossing), they must be worn at least 20 hours a day in order to reposition the teeth successfully. A typical Invisalign treatment requires 20 to 30 aligners for both the upper and lower teeth. Most adults complete their treatment in less than one year. However, treatment time depends on the specific alignment problem. Invisalign vs. Traditional Orthodontics (Braces)Invisalign may not be appropriate for certain cases of misalignment or complex bite problems. Fixed orthodontic appliances (traditional wire and bracket braces) can be used for complex malocclusions. Though not as esthetically appealing as clear aligners like Invisalign, today's traditional braces have been improved so they are smaller, less visible and more efficient. These newer wire-and-bracket braces also help to correct misalignment much faster than before. Only a dentist can determine which treatment option might be right for you. In addition, an orthodontic specialist (orthodontist) can advise you about orthodontic treatment alternatives. If Invisalign is not appropriate, traditional orthodontics can still be used for such conditions as:
More on Invisalign TreatmentInvisalign is currently approved for adults and teenagers with completely erupted permanent teeth who can faithfully follow the directions for treatment – how long they have to wear the aligners each day, what they can and cannot eat and drink, seeing their dentist for follow-up appointments, etc. For example, dentists recommend that you drink only water while wearing Invisalign trays, to prevent staining of the plastic. If you do not follow treatment recommendations, you may compromise treatment success. According to researchers and Align Technologies, Invisalign can be used to correct the following types of mild dental problems:

Invisalign was introduced in 1999 by Align Technologies. The removable orthodontic appliance incorporates a series of invisible (clear) plastic aligners that fit comfortably over your teeth and are designed to move them gradually into the desired orthodontic position.
