INVISALIGN FOR PEOPLE IN GREENWICH VILLAGE & THE SURROUNDINGS

Most people dream of a perfectly straight smile. Unfortunately, that rarely happens in the real world. In the past, the only way to straighten your teeth was with traditional metal braces, which can be off-putting to many people.

But now there’s Invisalign, which are clear plastic aligners that fit directly over your teeth and straighten your smile subtly! Dental House, located in Greenwich Village, offers Invisalign. No one will even be able to tell you’re wearing them. Invisalign clear aligners are also removable; traditional metal braces are not. This can be especially convenient while eating, brushing and flossing, or participating in sporting activities. Finally, with traditional metal braces, you must avoid eating crunchy or sticky foods, so they don’t damage them. That isn’t the case with Invisalign, since you remove them when eating anyway!

Invisalign clear aligners can treat many problems in the mouth, including open bites, under/overbites, gaps between teeth, and crowded teeth. You will have an initial appointment in the office where impressions of your teeth will be taken using digital equipment. Those are then sent away to the Invisalign lab, where your aligners are custom-crafted. You will then have another in-office appointment to make sure the aligners fit properly. For best results, aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours each day.
