Teens don’t have to worry about embarrassing metal braces cramping their social life any longer! Invisalign Teen is the clear way to straighten teeth, and just like the system for adults: the aligners are clear and removable (no one has to know!), you can eat and drink what you want and clean normally, and with blue-to-clear color-changing aligners, teens and parents know how long each aligner has been worn. Additionally, the program also includes six free replacement aligners.

Incredible Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign has many advantages while transforming smiles for teens and adults of any age. Today, more adults are getting started than ever and achieving their dream smiles. For Invisalign candidates, treatment is convenient, efficient, comfortable, and discreet.

At Scantlebury Orthodontics, Invisalign is also affordable, with convenient financing plans, no down payments, and flexible/affordable monthly payments. Thus, nothing prevents you from getting your dream smile from a top Brooklyn-area orthodontist, Dr. Sophia Scantlebury.

Eat What You Want and Brush Easily

For example, you can eat your favorite foods throughout treatment. Since aligners are removable, it’s easy to take them out to enjoy meals and to brush your teeth. Thus, Invisalign offers a more convenient option for those who don’t want to limit their diet.

Feel Confident in Your Appearance

As everyone agrees, Invisalign’s discreet appearance is a big plus. Most of the time, people won’t know you’re wearing aligners. Thus, both self-conscious teens and professional adults can feel more confident throughout treatment.

Keep in mind, today’s braces are much more discreet than in the past too! For example, Scantlebury Orthodontics offers clear ceramic braces that rival Invisalign’s discreet look.

Fewer Appointments or Emergencies

Another benefit of Invisalign is there’s no wire or brackets. Thus, you will generally require fewer office visits to adjust the wire. Also, you won’t have emergency trips for a broken wire or loose bracket. It’s another way Invisalign treatment is convenient.

If you lose an aligner, Scantlebury Orthodontics offers free replacement aligners (up to six). However, people generally have no problem keeping up with or cleaning the aligners.

Additionally, the advanced SmartTrack® material is comfortable and easy to put in and take out of your mouth. Using the latest digital 3-D technology, we get an exact custom fit made only for you. Thus, treatment is efficient, gradually moving your teeth over time.

Expert Brooklyn Invisalign: How Does it Work?

For Invisalign candidates, Dr. Scantlebury will custom design a treatment plan using advanced 3-D technology. Each plan is unique to the individual and designed to get the best results efficiently. Generally, a treatment plan includes between 12 and 48 sets of finely calibrated aligners. 

First, you will start wearing the first set of aligners. Generally, you’ll wear each set for about two weeks. Then, you’ll progress to the next set in the plan. 

Along the way, Dr. Scantlebury and the team will monitor your progress. Thus, patients return for a visit every four to eight weeks.

FAQ

Can you explain further what are Invisalign aligners and how do they work?

Invisalign is a popular treatment for teeth that is based on the principles of orthodontics. It uses clear, plastic aligners that are custom-made to fit each patient’s teeth. The aligners are designed to move your teeth into their correct positions.

Are there different types of Invisalign?

There are several types of Invisalign aligners, each with its own benefits and needs. They are Invisalign Express, Invisalign i7, Invisalign Lite, and Invisalign Full. Their applicability depends on the individual need of the patient and is a tradeoff between quick results and the severity of the problem.

What are the risks of Invisalign aligners?

The risks include the potential for complications from the treatment, such as infection and tooth movement, and the possibility of future corrections. Many people also worry about the long-term effects of the treatment, including potential dental problems and facial disfigurement. Whether or not to undergo the Invisalign procedure is a personal decision that should be weighed carefully against all these risks.

And what we can tell you is that for people who underwent Invisalign treatment, the benefits clearly outweighed the risks.

How long will it take for my Invisalign to be ready?

The Invisalign aligner production process typically takes four weeks to complete. You will receive a set of aligners and you will need to wear them for at least two weeks to a full four weeks.

You will also need to take care of your teeth while wearing the aligners, and you should schedule regular checkups with your dentist while you are using the Invisalign.

What should I do if my teeth start to hurt after an alignment?

If you are experiencing tooth pain after an Invisalign treatment, it is important to speak with your dental professional. They will be able to determine if the pain is caused by the alignment procedure itself, or if there is something more serious going on.

If it is determined that the pain is from the alignment procedure, your dentist may be able to adjust the treatment accordingly. If the pain is not caused by the alignment procedure, your dentist may still be able to help you by recommending other treatments or medications.

For tooth pain that is experienced from new aligners, trust us, the pain is temporary and your teeth will feel better once they adjust to the new aligner.

To help relieve tooth pain after an Invisalign treatment:

Drink plenty of fluids – especially if you experience intense pain when chewing or drinking. Try using ibuprofen or acetaminophen (paracetamol) to reduce the pain.

Talk to your doctor – they may recommend a course of antibiotics to clear up any infection that caused the toothache. If all else fails, they may refer you to a dental specialist for further examination and treatment.

What should I do if my Invisalign doesn't seem to be working correctly?

If you’re having trouble with your Invisalign, here are some things you can try:

Make sure that your aligner is correctly placed and secure in your mouth. If it’s not, adjust it as needed. Be sure to ask your dentist if there is any need for further adjustment.

Ensure that the gel is properly moistened. If it isn’t, try dipping it in water first, then try different angles for the alignment. If you’re having difficulty achieving a good fit at one angle, try another.

If all these tips don’t work, please consult with your dentist. If you have a removable aligner, make sure to keep it clean and properly stored after each use.

How much does Dr. Scantlebury's Invisalign Cost?

Dr. Scantlebury’s Invisalign costs vary depending on the length of treatment and the number of aligners used. Fees typically range from $5,000 to $6,000 per set of aligners, although some patients may require more than one set.

Additionally, fees for additional procedures such as x-rays and consultations may apply. Patients should always remember that Invisalign is a more personalized way of straightening their teeth, so the fees may vary depending on their case.

How long is usually the treatment time for Invisalign?

There is no definitive answer to this question as it will depend on the individual’s case specifics. Patients generally undergo Invisalign treatment from as short as six months, to 24 months. Although, most patients who undergo Invisalign treatment typically see results within two months.

How do I take care of my Invisalign?

Here are some tips for taking care of your Invisalign:

Keep your aligners clean. Clean them with mild soap and warm water after each use. If they get dirty, rinse them in hot water and soap.

Always store your aligners in a cool, dry place.

Avoid eating hard, crunchy, and sticky foods with your aligner on to avoid breakage or deformity.

Can a teenager undergo Invisalign treatment?

Teens can undergo Invisalign treatment if their teeth need repair, and their bite is off. Teens who are considering Invisalign should speak with a dentist about the benefits and risks of the treatment.

Invisalign is a simple, comfortable, and reversible treatment. The aligners are made of clear plastic and fit over your teeth like braces. Over the course of the treatment, you’ll see your smile change for the better.

The biggest benefit of Invisalign is that it can replace traditional braces. With traditional braces, you must wear them for years, which can be difficult and expensive. Plus, traditional braces can cause major damage to your teeth if they’re not properly fitted.

I’m already wearing traditional braces, is it possible to switch to Invisalign?

If you are in the middle of traditional braces treatment and are convinced that Invisalign has more benefits than the former, go and talk to your orthodontist. They are the best people to advice you about the benefits of switching to Invisalign from metal or ceramic braces.

But to answer the question, it is absolutely viable. Switching to Invisalign allows you to enjoy a wider variety of foods while correcting your teeth alignment.
