What are the universal qualities of a beautiful smile? Ask this question of the average person, and there is a good chance the answer will include “straight, healthy-looking teeth.” Many people, however, have decided against undergoing the orthodontic treatment they need because they don’t want to sacrifice the aesthetics of their smiles for a year and a half while wearing conspicuous and uncomfortable metal braces. For these people, there is now a clear alternative to traditional braces: the revolutionary Invisalign® system.

Invisalign® aligners allow people of all ages to straighten their teeth and correct their bites discreetly and with unprecedented comfort. These custom-crafted aligners offer exceptional results in approximately the same amount of time as traditional braces, with some significant advantages.

For starters, Invisalign® aligners are removable. This means that people undergoing Invisalign® treatment can eat whatever they like, including foods that would be strictly out of the question for people with metal braces. The aligners can also be removed for brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings, making oral hygiene a snap in comparison to traditional orthodontic treatments.

Best of all, however, Invisalign® aligners are practically invisible. People undergoing Invisalign® treatment can achieve healthy, uniform smiles without having to obscure their teeth behind metal wires and brackets. In other words, Invisalign® wearers can improve their smiles without sacrificing their smiles.

If you are interested in improving your smile, cosmetic dentistry offers a variety of options. If your teeth suffer from minor crookedness, you may benefit from the “instant orthodontics” of porcelain veneers. However, if you require more substantial treatment, Invisalign® may be ideal for you. For further details, please contact Winning Smiles Dental Care, PLLC, serving Manhattan and all of New York City.
