Invisalign®️ in New York, NY
If you are unhappy with the smile you see in the mirror because of crooked or misaligned teeth, you may have considered a dentist near you about the different available alignment systems. If the thought of having traditional braces kept you from going to your dentist, then you should consider using Invisalign®️.
What is Invisalign®️?
At Glen J. Graffeo DDS, we offer this unique tooth alignment system so that you can have the smile of your dreams without worrying about what traditional metal braces are saying about your smile. This method includes a series of acrylic aligners your teeth are gradually straightened in as little as 12-18 months.
These unique aligners are clear, so you don’t have to worry about having any aesthetic changes as your teeth are being straightened. Since they are removable, you can continue to brush, floss, and eat like you usually would.
Your dentist in New York, NY can answer any questions you may have regarding what the treatment is like, what to expect, and any extra steps that you’ll need to follow to maintain your oral health during the treatment duration.

Does Invisalign®️ hurt?
Invisalign®️ in New York, NY doesn’t include any of the messy wires and brackets that traditional braces do, so you won’t have to worry about them scraping the insides of your lips and cheeks. The acrylic they are made from is smooth and designed to fit your unique teeth, so they shouldn’t irritate or rub against your gums, lips, or cheeks entirely.
Slight pain can be expected when switching trays. Dr. Graffeo will suggest putting in a new tray at night so that you can sleep through the initial discomfort.
