See your new smile before you start
We scan your teeth with the iTero 3D scanner, so there are no messy impressions, and show you a simulation of how your teeth will move and what your finished smile could look like, all at your first visit.
What Invisalign can treat
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite, underbite and crossbite (many cases)
- Teeth that have shifted since braces
- Straightening before veneers or other cosmetic work, so less tooth reshaping is needed
How it works
- Consultation and scan. We check your teeth and gums, take an iTero scan and show you your simulation.
- Your aligners. Your custom aligners are made from your treatment plan.
- Wear them 20–22 hours a day. You switch to a new set every one to two weeks, and each set moves your teeth a little.
- Quick check-ins. Short visits every several weeks to make sure everything is on track.
- Retainers. When treatment ends, retainers keep your teeth from shifting back. We can print new ones in our office if you ever need a replacement.
Invisalign vs. braces
- Nearly invisible: most people won't notice you're wearing them.
- Removable: take them out to eat, brush and floss, with no food restrictions.
- Comfortable: smooth plastic, with no wires to poke or brackets to break.
- Fewer emergencies: nothing to come loose between visits.
Invisalign for teens
Invisalign Teen includes features for growing smiles, like wear indicators that show whether aligners are being worn enough. It's a popular choice for teens who'd rather not wear metal braces.
Paying for Invisalign
Many plans with orthodontic coverage cover Invisalign the same way they cover braces. We'll check your benefits, and monthly payment plans are available through CareCredit and Cherry.
Patients visit us from Port Washington, Manhasset and Great Neck, and from across Long Island and Queens.

Common questions
How long does Invisalign take?
Many cases finish in 6 to 18 months, depending on how much movement is needed. Minor cases can be shorter.
How many hours a day do I wear aligners?
About 20 to 22 hours a day. Take them out to eat and drink anything other than water.
Does Invisalign hurt?
You may feel pressure for a day or two with each new set. That means they're working, and it fades quickly.
Will I need a retainer?
Yes. Teeth naturally drift after any straightening, so wearing a retainer, usually at night, keeps your smile in place.
Does insurance cover Invisalign?
Many plans with orthodontic coverage cover Invisalign the same way they cover braces. We'll check your benefits, and payment plans through CareCredit and Cherry are available.
