Invisalign
New York and New Jersey

New Yorkers Beware!!!

Invisalign is a wonderful technology that gives adults the smile of their dreams with removable aligners. The aligners are worn all the time except for eating. Every 2 weeks you get a new aligner, so that teeth move very slowly and comfortably.

Invisalign is great because the aligners are invisible so no one even knows you have them in. They are thin and comfortable, and for special occasions you can take them out.

New York consumers need to be aware that Invisalign courses are given in New York to dentists on a regular basis. This means that any dentist can take a weekend course and become “Invisalign certified”.

Many of these dentists are general dentists who have little orthodontic knowledge and are relying on a weekend course and a lab making aligners to get a good result.

Because the course is given frequently in New York City, there are many dentists offering this service.

When you go for an Invisalign consultation, ask the dentist:

• Does he have experience in orthodontics or braces for adults, other than invisalign?
  To get a good result with Invisalign, the dentist should have orthodontic experience and knowledge beyond the weekend course.
  
  
• What other choices does the dentist offer beside Invisalign?
  With the newest technology in braces for adults, the same result or better result can be achieved in a short time.
  
  High Speed Braces can give adults a great smile in 6 months or less. There are also invisible braces behind the teeth that no one ever knows you are wearing them.  Also, some cases are not well treated with Invisalign. You want a dentist that can do it all!
  
  
• Does he offer payment options?
  Consumer-friendly dentists offer low monthly payment options that can be extended over a longer time.
  
  
• How many cases has he done?
  You want a dentist that has enough experience to guarantee the result.
  
  
• Will he show you the expected results of your case before you start?
  The dentist should be able to put your case on a computer and show you how you will turn out. You can see the finished result before you start.
