Everything to know about Invisalign aligners with Dr. Kelli Brady in New York, New York
Are you considering straightening your smile with clear aligners? Invisalign aligners are a popular, nearly invisible orthodontic treatment that can transform your teeth while fitting seamlessly into your lifestyle. Dr. Kelli Brady, serving Norwood, New Jersey, and New York, New York, is here to help you achieve your dream smile with this innovative method. Here are some frequently asked questions about Invisalign aligners that we receive at our office to help educate you on your options.
What are Invisalign aligners?
Invisalign aligners are custom-made, clear trays that fit over your teeth to gradually and gently shift them into their ideal positions. These aligners are a wonderful and discreet alternative to traditional braces, offering comfort and convenience for our local patients of all ages. Since they are removable, they make eating, brushing, and flossing much easier than with metal braces.
Who is a good candidate for Invisalign aligners?
Most of our new and current patients with mild to moderate alignment issues are excellent candidates for Invisalign aligners. If you have concerns like overbites, underbites, crowded teeth, or gaps, Invisalign aligners may be the perfect solution. For patients seeking to correct gaps between teeth, Dr. Kelli Brady discusses the advantages of Invisalign during your consultation.
Actual Patient Results
How long does treatment with Invisalign aligners usually take?
Treatment length varies by patient, depending on the complexity of your case, but most of our patients can expect the process to last 8-12 months. Dr. Kelli Brady creates a personalized treatment plan to ensure the best results in the shortest time possible. Keep in mind that wearing your clear aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours per day is essential to staying on track.

How do Invisalign aligners compare to traditional braces?
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are removable and virtually invisible, so you can eat your favorite foods without worrying about damaging the brackets or wires. They also do not irritate your cheeks or gums the way metal braces sometimes can. Moreover, Invisalign aligners require fewer office visits, which makes them a convenient option for busy individuals.
Are Invisalign aligners difficult to care for?
Caring for Invisalign aligners is simple. You need to rinse your aligners whenever you remove them and clean them each day with a soft toothbrush or the Invisalign cleaning system. Always store them in their provided protective case when not in use. Proper care ensures that your aligners remain clear and free of bacteria, helping you maintain optimal oral hygiene.
Can Invisalign aligners fix gaps between teeth?
Yes, Invisalign aligners are highly effective for treating gaps between teeth. Using state-of-the-art technology, the aligners gradually shift your teeth into place, closing spaces and creating a more uniform appearance. If you are considering Invisalign on gapped teeth, Dr. Kelli Brady designs a treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs.
Do Invisalign aligners hurt?
While you may experience mild discomfort as your natural teeth begin to move, most patients find Invisalign aligners much less painful than traditional braces. Any soreness typically fades within a few days, and Dr. Kelli Brady provides guidance on managing discomfort. The smooth edges of the aligners are designed for comfort, so they will not irritate your mouth.
