CLEAR ALIGNERS STATEN ISLAND, NY

Dreaming of a stunning, straight smile without the hassle of metal braces?

Clear aligners are a virtually invisible orthodontic treatment where you can have a beautiful smile during and after treatment. In fact, virtually no one will know you are wearing them, unless you tell them.

Clear aligners are a series of custom-made clear removable aligners, which exert mild pressure on your teeth until they are in the desired position. You will wear new aligners every two weeks to gradually shift your teeth towards the smile you have always wanted.

Clear Aligner orthodontic treatments offer exceptional benefits to patients. Since it requires no metal brackets or wires, Clear Aligners reduce the chance of mouth irritation and oral sores that are generally associated with traditional braces. Clear Aligners are flexible and comfortable to wear and don’t require you to change your busy lifestyle. This treatment also limits the amount of time spent in the dental chair – you only need office visits every month or two to check your progression. Because aligners are removable, you can continue to eat your favorite foods while brushing and flossing normally to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Suitable for the majority of adults and adolescents, Clear Aligners are a breakthrough orthodontic treatment.

Clear aligners are easily removed for important events such as school formals or weddings

One of the great things about this orthodontic treatment is that, contrary to conventional braces, your set of aligners are completely removable – making you photo-ready at your function all night! This also means you can maintain an optimal dental health routine, without worrying about pesky brackets or wires.
