At Fedida Family Dentistry & Dental Spa, we offer advanced, modern treatment options for common dental concerns. One of the dental concerns that we treat in our Jackson Heights dentist office is crooked teeth. Patients are often thrilled to learn that we offer Invisalign as a discreet alternative to traditional braces for addressing crooked teeth. Learn why our patients love Invisalign below:

Clear, Plastic Aligners

Invisalign is a system of clear, plastic aligners that are virtually see-through while in use. What this means is that patients will be able to maintain their natural smile aesthetics while undergoing orthodontic treatment. This is a major improvement to traditional orthodontic treatment options like traditional braces. With traditional braces, metallic brackets and wires are firmly secured to the patient’s smile throughout the entire duration of their treatment. With orthodontic treatment typically taking a year or longer to complete, this is a long time to suffer from altered smile aesthetics. Patients who choose Invisalign can feel more confident throughout the duration of their treatment plan because no one will be able to tell that they are actively straightening their teeth.

Removable Aligners

The removability of Invisalign aligners is a major advantage compared to traditional braces. Patients are encouraged to remove their aligners when eating, drinking, or brushing their teeth. They may also remove the aligners for special occasions like weddings, prom, or job interviews. As long as the aligners are worn on average of 20-22 hours a day, the treatment plan will progress as intended. Removable aligners also allow patients to enjoy benefits that patients with traditional braces simply do not have. Firstly, removable aligners mean no dietary restrictions for the entire duration of your treatment. You can remove your aligners before eating, allowing you to enjoy all of your favorite meals without worrying about the effects certain foods may have on your orthodontic treatment plan. Second, removable aligners make it easier to brush and floss your teeth. Patients with traditional braces must learn to brush and floss around the brackets and wires to ensure nothing is stuck in the hardware. With Invisalign. patients can brush and floss as they usually would without the additional oral hygiene hazards.
