Have you spent your entire life wishing your teeth were straighter? Did you have braces as a child and now your teeth have moved back out of place? Have your teeth shifted with age, and you don’t know what to do about it? Invisalign® clear braces might just be the answer you have been looking for!
Dr. Gorsky is an Invisalign provider in Tuckahoe and can help you improve the health and function of your smile with clear aligners. With Invisalign, you can achieve a beautiful smile without disrupting your lifestyle.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign takes a modern approach to straightening teeth. This advanced system uses a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth.
Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place based on the exact movements your dentist or orthodontist plans out for you. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You just pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks until your treatment is complete.
You’ll achieve a great smile with little interference in your daily life. The best part about the whole process is that most people won’t even know you’re straightening your teeth.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Crooked teeth aren’t as healthy as straight teeth! People with crooked teeth indeed experience far more periodontal problems than those with straight teeth. Why? Because straight teeth are easier to clean!
Invisalign braces work the way traditional braces do – through applied pressure. But that is where the similarities end.
Invisalign braces are made of clear, medical-grade plastic and are almost invisible in your smile – great news for anyone who wants to have straighter teeth but doesn’t want to deal with the metal-mouth look traditional braces can cause.
Dr. Gorsky will take digital impressions and then design a series of aligners to adjust your teeth, little by little, to their ideal position.
Invisalign aligners are also removable, so you can take them out to eat your favorite foods or to clean your teeth. Musicians and public speakers love this feature because it allows them to speak or play with complete ease while they are getting the smiles of their dreams.
