Invisalign in Staten Island, NY

Smile confidently through every phase of treatment with aligners that are barely noticeable to others.

Take out your aligners when you eat, brush, or have a special occasion, all without compromising your treatment progress.

Invisalign eliminates the discomfort and mouth irritation often caused by traditional metal braces.

Because clear aligners are removable, there are no dietary restrictions, and your oral hygiene routine is easy.

Each aligner is digitally crafted for a snug, precise fit based on a 3D scan of your teeth.

Most patients complete treatment in 12 to 18 months, although the exact length depends on your unique needs and how closely you follow your treatment plan. During your consultation, Dr. Hecht will provide a personalized estimate based on your goals.

Rinse your aligners every time you remove them and brush them gently with a soft toothbrush and mild cleanser twice a day. Avoid using hot water, which can warp the plastic, and store your aligners in their protective case when not in use.

Some patients notice a slight adjustment period when they first start wearing their aligners, but most adapt within a few days. Because the trays are thin and custom-fitted, any impact on your speech is minimal and temporary.

Once your teeth have moved into their final positions, you will need to wear a retainer to maintain your results. Dr. Hecht will design a custom retainer and provide guidance on how often to wear it to keep your teeth in their newly aligned positions.
