Invisalign
Straightening your teeth can improve the health and appearance of your smile, but braces are uncomfortable and draw attention.
There is an alternative to unsightly metal braces. Invisalign® can help straighten your smile easily and discreetly.
Astoria Dental Group helps patients in Queens, Long Island, NYC, and beyond achieve great cosmetic results with Invisalign.
Just What Is Invisalign?
You have probably heard of Invisalign, since it is such a popular treatment for straightening teeth. But you may be wondering what it is exactly. Put simply, Invisalign is a type of orthodontic treatment that avoids many of the negatives that come with traditional braces.
Invisalign straightens your teeth with clear, strong plastic aligners. Clear aligners are much less noticeable than the wires, brackets, and colors associated with traditional braces. The virtually invisible look of Invisalign is one of the biggest reasons so many patients from Queens, NY, and around the world choose Invisalign to improve their lives.
The advantages of Invisalign don’t stop at aesthetics. While regular braces can break and necessitate rush trips to the orthodontist, Invisalign avoids these types of complications. Invisalign’s removability also makes cleaning your teeth as easy as ever.
Let's Take a Closer Look At
How This Differs From Braces
What We Can Treat With Clear Aligners
When the lower teeth extend past the upper teeth, it is known as an underbite.
Crowded teeth can be harder to clean, which can result in widespread decay.
If your upper teeth extend far beyond your lower teeth, you may have an overbite.
Excessive spacing between teeth can interfere with your health and appearance.
An open bite occurs when the upper and lower teeth do not line up, so a gap remains when the jaw is closed.
For patients with crossbites, the upper and lower jaws do not meet properly, which can cause painful symptoms.

It's Never Too Late
Many patients worry that they're too old
to pursue orthodontic treatment...
When many of us think of orthodontic treatment of any kind, we associate it with teenagers. But today, more and more adults are taking advantage of treatments like this that can allow them to achieve their goals without having to wear conspicuous metal braces.
The truth is that there is no upper age limit when it comes to Invisalign treatment. Even if your high school years are decades behind you, there has never been a better time to talk to us about clear orthodontics. Our Queens office welcomes patients from Long Island and throughout the area.
The Astoria Dental Group Difference Why Choose Us For Invisalign Treatment?

Our team will take precise impressions during your consultation. The information gathered in these impressions will then be applied to the ClinCheck software. Using this advanced technology, we can plan a custom treatment down to the smallest tooth movement to ensure every tooth moves in exactly the right way for comfortable and aesthetically pleasing results.

View on GoogleYou May Be a Good Candidate If:
You Desire Discretion
Many teenaged and adult patients choose this option because the clear trays are much more discreet than traditional braces.
You Are Responsible
To achieve your desired results, you must commit to wearing the aligners for at least 20 to 22 hours each day.
Your Case is Mild
Clear aligners may not work for patients with severe malocclusion, rotated teeth, or large gaps. Our doctors may recommend another orthodontic option for these advanced concerns.
How Long Does Treatment Take? Results Typically Take 12 to 18 Months
Although each patient will require a different timeline, the majority of treatments will range from 12 to 18 months. Once the treatment is completed, you will be provided with a retainer that can be used to help you maintain your results.
Invisalign Timeline
"Dr. Carmen Every-Degel is recognized as a top Invisalign provider, and she has years of experience helping her patients achieve amazing cosmetic results."
Most Patients Achieve a Healthy, Beautiful Smile in Less Than 18 Months
Depending on the severity of your misalignment, you will likely complete your treatment within 12 to 18 months. Most patients achieve dramatically straighter teeth as a result of this treatment. In addition to beautiful symmetry, Invisalign can also:
- Make it easier to brush and floss
- Improve the comfort of your bite
- Reduce headaches
- Prevent excessive dental wear
- Raise your self-confidence
Some Patients Are Eligible For Accelerated Treatment
Invisalign® Express can straighten your smile in as little as three to six months. This treatment is not the right option for everyone, but if you are a good candidate you will receive a radiant smile faster than you could imagine.
Invisalign Express is a great fit for patients who have:
- Recent tooth shifting
- Minor tooth crowding
- Just a few misaligned teeth
- A small amount of tooth rotation to correct
- A need to straighten teeth before undergoing cosmetic procedures
- A desire to remove braces before their orthodontic treatment has been completed
The significantly quicker timeline offered by Invisalign Express is preferred by many patients. However, if you have severe misalignment or spacing concerns then the traditional option may be the best for you. Dr. Carmen Every-Degel can make this assessment for you with a simple consultation at our Queens office.
You Can Have a Straight, Beautiful Smile in a Matter of Months!
With technologies like Invisalign available, there's no reason to go through life feeling self-conscious. Don't wait until tomorrow. Start your journey today and achieve your cosmetic goals in under two years. To request a consultation with Drs.

How to Maintain The Results of Your Treatment
You play a major role in maintaining your results after Invisalign. Once you complete your treatment, there are some simple things you can do to maintain your straighter smile:
Wear a Retainer
Wearing a custom retainer or your last set of aligners will keep your teeth in their newly aligned position. You may be instructed to wear your retainer for several hours a day or every night indefinitely. Because you will need to wear a retainer on an ongoing basis, make sure to keep it clean and take it with you when you travel.
Visit Your Dentist
During your twice-yearly checkups, our dentists serving Queens, Long Island, and the greater NYC area will examine your teeth and mouth for any changes after your treatment. This will ensure lasting results and help maintain your straightened smile and oral health for years to come.
Stunning Transformations through Invisalign
Invisalign vs.
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces are inconvenient, painful, and unsightly. Invisalign aligners offer an alternative. During your course of treatment, you will not need to have our dentists perform the painful adjustments associated with braces — you simply switch aligners every two weeks and come to our office periodically to check on your progress.
Invisalign aligners are invisible and comfortable to wear. You can remove them when brushing, eating, or drinking — they do not complicate oral hygiene or your daily routine. In addition, the clear aligners have no metal to irritate your mouth, making them easy to wear around the clock. You’ll probably forget you’re even wearing them!
Braces May Be Necessary
For Certain Patients
We always have our patients' best interests at heart and will never recommend a treatment we aren't confident will help you achieve your goals. Though Invisalign is a great orthodontic option for teens and adults who want to discreetly align their teeth, it isn't always the best solution. If you have severe misalignment, our dentist may recommend you receive braces instead. If you get tired of having braces toward the end of your treatment, our office may be able to switch you to Invisalign.
