Invisalign in Brooklyn NY

Achieving a beautiful smile is now easier and more comfortable with Invisalign at Halabi Orthodontics. This innovative treatment uses clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly and effectively, offering a modern alternative to traditional braces.

What is Invisalign?


Invisalign uses clear, custom-made aligners to straighten teeth. These aligners are made from a smooth, comfortable plastic that fits snugly over your teeth, making them almost invisible. The technology behind Invisalign involves advanced 3D imaging to map out a precise treatment plan.

How it Works

The Invisalign process starts with an initial consultation. During this visit, the orthodontist takes detailed 3D images of your teeth to create a customized treatment plan. You’ll receive a series of aligners, each designed to gradually shift your teeth into their desired positions. You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before moving on to the next set. Regular check-ins ensure that your treatment progresses as planned, leading to the final result of a beautifully aligned smile.

Advantages of Invisalign

Aesthetic Appeal

Invisalign aligners are clear and virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without the noticeable appearance of traditional braces. This makes them an excellent choice for adults and teens who want a discreet orthodontic option.

Comfort and Convenience

The custom-fit design of Invisalign aligners ensures a comfortable fit. You can remove the aligners when eating, brushing, and flossing, making it easy to maintain your oral hygiene routine without any interruptions. This flexibility allows you to enjoy your favorite foods and keep your teeth clean without hassle.

Efficient Treatment

Invisalign typically offers a shorter treatment time compared to traditional braces. The precise nature of the treatment plan, combined with regular monitoring, ensures that your teeth move efficiently into their new positions. This means you can achieve your desired smile faster, with fewer office visits and adjustments.

Most patients experience some discomfort when they start wearing a new set of aligners. This is normal and typically subsides after a few days. The discomfort is a sign that the aligners are effectively moving your teeth.

How often should I wear my aligners?

Can I eat and drink with my aligners on?

You should remove your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents staining and damage to the aligners and ensures that they remain clean and effective.

How do I clean my aligners?

Clean your aligners by brushing them with a toothbrush and rinsing them with lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic. You can also use Invisalign cleaning crystals or a gentle denture cleaner.
