Although most people have their alignment issues corrected during childhood, not everyone has the same opportunity. If you didn\u2019t get braces as a child or you suffered regression after a previous treatment, you don\u2019t need to turn to brackets and wires to get the smile you want. Instead, you can enjoy the clear choice in orthodontics with Invisalign in Lenox Hill. To save time and money, you may want to only correct one arch, but your dentist will likely advise against it to prevent new problems down the road.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does Invisalign Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Metal braces use a series of brackets and wires to pull the\nteeth into position by making small adjustments every few weeks. Invisalign\nuses a far different method than traditional braces. A series of clear plastic\naligners are created using an impression of your mouth and 3D technology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each aligner applies continuous pressure on your teeth to gradually\nmove them into position. You wear each aligner in the series for at least 22\nhours per day. You switch to a new aligner after about 1 week. On average, it\ntakes 12 months to finish your series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I Only Get Invisalign on the Top or Bottom?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is normal for alignment concerns to vary between the top and\nbottom arch. One may have more significant issues than the other. As a result,\nyou may want to treat only the top or bottom. Unfortunately, this is rarely a\ngood idea. Single arch treatment is only recommended for certain cases because it\ncan create problems with your bite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Changing your bite can lead to a new list of complications\nthat can impact your oral health and functions. You may even develop jaw pain\nfrom uneven pressure on your temporomandibular joint. Your aesthetic concerns\nmay also change. Although your teeth become straighter, it can cause your lower\njaw to rest in an uncomfortable and unattractive position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, your dentist in Lenox Hill will likely recommend\nyou treat both the top and bottom arch to ensure a straight, functional smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Invisalign Right for Me?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, Invisalign is effective for resolving several bite and\nalignment concerns; however, you still need a consultation with your dentist to\nensure it\u2019s right for you. Your dentist performs a comprehensive evaluation to\nassess the alignment of your teeth and bite. Images, X-rays, and impressions\nare also used to determine the extent of your orthodontic needs to create a\ncustomized treatment plan. You\u2019ll enjoy a personalized approach to get the\nstraight smile you\u2019ve always wanted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Dorian Tetelman, DDS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drtetelman.com\/about-us.html\">Manhattan\ndental practice<\/a> provides personalized treatment plans to help our patients achieve\nhealthy, beautiful smiles.
