Invisalign on the Upper East Side

Invisalign is a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually move your teeth into place. Each set is made for your mouth and swapped on a schedule.

Cost depends on the length and difficulty of your case. You get a clear fee at your consultation, and payment plans are available.

Most cases take 6 to 18 months. Mild cases can be faster. Wearing your aligners as directed is what keeps you on schedule.

You may feel pressure or soreness for a day or two when you start a new set. It is usually milder than braces. Cold water and over-the-counter pain relievers help.

We scan your teeth, plan every step, and you get a series of aligners. Each moves your teeth a small amount. You change to the next set about every one to two weeks.

Invisalign is removable, more discreet and easier to clean. Braces can suit a few very complex cases. We recommend what works best for you.

You come in for regular progress checks, and we tell you how often at your consultation.

Between visits, we may ask you to send progress photos so we can check your aligners and tell you what to do next.
