Who Is a Candidate for Invisalign®?
Invisalign® clear aligners may be used to address several common alignment and bite concerns in adults and teens. Your dentist can determine whether Invisalign is appropriate for your individual case.
Crowded Teeth
Helps create space and improve the alignment of crowded teeth
Gaps & Spacing
Can help reduce unwanted spacing between teeth
Overbite & Crossbite
May help improve certain bite and alignment concerns
Mild to Moderate Misalignment
Most mild-to-moderate crowding, spacing, and bite concerns respond well to clear aligner therapy — which covers a large share of adult cases.
Teens & Busy Adults
A discreet, removable option that fits school, work, and social life across Tribeca, Lower Manhattan, and greater NYC.
Severe rotations, very large gaps, or significant jaw discrepancies may be better served by traditional braces or other orthodontic options. Your dentist will evaluate your individual case and recommend the approach most likely to succeed.
How Clear Aligners Move Your Teeth
Each Invisalign® aligner is digitally engineered to move specific teeth in tiny, controlled increments — typically a fraction of a millimeter per stage. Here is the biology that makes it work:
Because the entire series is mapped digitally before treatment begins, your dentist can preview the planned tooth movements and the projected outcome with you at your consultation — before you commit to anything.
Gentle, Continuous Pressure
SmartTrack® material applies calibrated force to targeted teeth, guiding each one a fraction of a millimeter per stage.
Tooth-Colored Attachments
Small tooth-colored shapes may be bonded to certain teeth to give the aligners extra grip for complex movements such as rotations or vertical shifts.
Natural Bone Remodeling
Under sustained, gentle pressure, the periodontal ligament and surrounding bone gradually remodel, allowing each tooth to drift into its digitally planned position — the same biology behind traditional braces.
New Aligners Every 1–2 Weeks
You progress through the series as prescribed, wearing each set 20–22 hours a day. Consistent wear keeps treatment on track; skipping hours can slow progress.
How Invisalign® Treatment Works
Invisalign Consultation & 3D Scan
Your Invisalign consultation begins with an evaluation and an iTero® digital scan to create a detailed 3D model of your teeth.
Custom Invisalign® Aligners
A personalized series of Invisalign® clear aligners is created based on your digital treatment plan.
Daily Wear & Progress Visits
Patients typically wear their aligners for most of the day and move through a prescribed series while attending periodic progress visits.
Completion & Retainers
After active Invisalign treatment is complete, retainers may be recommended to help maintain your new tooth positions.
Should I Choose Invisalign® or Traditional Braces?
Both options will straighten your smile — the difference is in the daily experience. Here is how clear aligners and traditional braces compare:

Benefits of Straighter Teeth Beyond Appearance
Easier Brushing & Flossing
Better-aligned teeth can make brushing and flossing easier by reducing difficult-to-clean overlapping areas.
Improved Bite Alignment
For appropriate cases, orthodontic treatment can improve how the upper and lower teeth fit together.
How to Care for Invisalign® Aligners
- •Rinse your aligners and clean your teeth before reinserting them
- •Clean aligners gently with a soft toothbrush and mild soap
- •Avoid hot water, which may damage or distort the aligners
- •Store aligners in their protective case when not in use
- •Remove aligners for eating or drinking anything other than cool water
- •Always carry your protective case — and keep your previous set as a backup
- •Store your case in the same spot every day so aligners never get lost or thrown away
- •If an aligner cracks or stops fitting, contact the office before moving to the next set
- •Avoid smoking or chewing gum while wearing your aligners
Learn More About Invisalign® & Bite Correction
Invisalign doesn't work as well as braces — it works better. But there is a caveat: it depends on patient compliance. Braces are under the doctor's control the whole time; the patient just needs to brush and show up to appointments. Invisalign requires discipline — putting it on and off, wearing it all the time except for eating and brushing. It takes patient compliance, but it definitely works wonders.

Invisalign® NYC Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about Invisalign® in NYC? Here are answers to the questions our Tribeca patients ask most often.
How many hours a day should I wear Invisalign® aligners?
Invisalign aligners are generally worn for most of the day and removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Your treatment instructions may vary based on your individual plan.
How long does Invisalign® treatment take?
Invisalign treatment time varies depending on the type and complexity of tooth movement required. A consultation and digital scan can provide a more individualized treatment estimate.
Does Tribeca Dental Studio offer alternatives to Invisalign®?
Tribeca Dental Studio may offer other clear aligner options in addition to Invisalign®. Your dentist can discuss which approach is appropriate for your treatment needs.
Am I too old for Invisalign®?
Age alone is rarely a barrier. Many adults across Tribeca, Lower Manhattan, and NYC choose Invisalign® precisely for its discretion. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, an evaluation can confirm whether you are a good candidate.
Will Invisalign® affect my speech?
Some patients notice a slight lisp during the first few days, which usually resolves as the tongue adjusts to the aligners.
Does Invisalign® treatment hurt?
Most people feel mild pressure or tenderness when switching to a new set — a sign the teeth are moving. It typically fades within a day or two.
Can I eat with my aligners in?
No. Remove your aligners for eating or drinking anything other than cool water, and brush before putting them back in to protect both your teeth and the aligners.
What happens after I finish my aligners?
To protect your results, custom retainers are typically recommended. Teeth naturally tend to shift over time, and wearing your retainer as directed helps maintain your new smile.
