THE IMPORTANCE OF STRAIGHT TEETH

Benefits of Invisalign
Having straight teeth isn’t just about looking good and feeling confident —
it’s also important for your oral health.
1
Virtually Invisible
Invisalign aligners are made out of clear, plastic material that is virtually invisible and hard to spot when worn.

This means that you can straighten your teeth without anyone noticing that you are wearing braces on your teeth.
2
Easy To Remove For Eating, Brushing And Flossing
Invisalign aligners are removable, which means that you can take them out when you eat, brush and floss your teeth. This allows you to maintain good oral hygiene and to eat the foods you enjoy without any restrictions.
3
Fewer Dental Visits
With Invisalign, you typically have fewer office visits than traditional braces. This is because your progress is tracked through regular check-ins with your orthodontist, who will provide you with new aligners every few weeks.
4
Comfortable to Wear
Each aligner you wear is made out of smooth plastic and built to custom fit your teeth. As they are custom fit based off the designs taken from your teeth they fit snugly and comfortably without causing any irritation or discomfort.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

Cost of Invisalign Treatment

As each individual's dental care plan is distinct, the cost of Invisalign treatment varies for each patient. Generally, Invisalign is comparable in price to traditional metal braces, and many basic insurance plans provide coverage for this treatment. Contact our Staten Island dental office to determine your insurance coverage and explore how we can tailor a custom treatment plan to accommodate any budget.

INVISALIGN AFTERCARE

How to Care for Your Clear Aligners
Sustaining regular dental care and checkups is the initial and crucial step in maintaining optimal oral health for both your teeth and gums. The following tips offer additional guidance to ensure the functionality and cleanliness of your teeth and aligners:
Clean Your Invisalign Trays During Oral Care
Ensure your Invisalign trays are cleaned each time you brush and floss your teeth utilizing the Invisalign Cleaning System. Avoid using excessively hot or cold water during cleaning, as extreme temperatures may alter the shape of the trays, compromising their effectiveness.
Rinse After Eating
   Prevent anything, particularly food particles and bacteria, from accumulating between your teeth and aligners. As Invisalign aligners are removable, thoroughly rinse your mouth with lukewarm water before reinserting them after eating. For enhanced cleanliness, consider brushing your teeth before wearing the aligners.
Know When to Remove Your Aligner
  When consuming beverages like sodas, coffee, or alcoholic drinks while wearing Invisalign, the acids and sugars can linger on your teeth until you remove the aligner. This may lead to oral health issues such as cavities and staining. If you're not consuming water, remove your Invisalign before drinking, and remember to brush your teeth once you've finished.

WHICH IS THE BETTER OPTION?

Invisalign Aligners vs. Metal Braces

When considering orthodontic treatment, it's common to wonder why the old metal braces are not enough. At Healthy Smiles, we offer Invisalign treatment options that offer several advantages over traditional metal braces, including:

Shorter treatment time

Traditional braces required a year or two of wiring, with constant adjustments and visits. Clear aligner trays only take between 6 to 12 months depending on your treatment plan and case.

Normal diet habits

Metal braces can make it very painful to eat solid or tough foods, especially at first. With clear aligners, you will just need to remove the tray before mealtimes, and you’ll be able to eat as normal.

Better oral hygiene

The possibility of getting food stuck between your teeth was an ever-present threat with metal braces. With clear aligners, normal brushing and flossing after meals will be enough.

Protecting your gums and lips

Mouth abrasions and cracked lips are common among those who wear metal braces, especially while doing sports. Clear aligner trays just need to be removed before the football match!

​​“Dr. Cipriano is the absolute best dentist with an amazing staff! They truly care about your experience in and out of the office. They know who we are when we walk in, and make us feel like we are part of the family. After a long road of genetic dental issues and quick fixes from other providers, my daughter did not smile with her mouth open until Dr. Cipriano worked his magic on her smile. He listened to her, was patient, kind and would not finish the job until HE, was completely satisfied that my daughter was happy. It might seem like a little thing, but finally seeing my daughter smile with her teeth showing has made a world of difference for this mom. The BEST of the BEST! Thank you Healthy Smiles of Staten Island”

“I grew up in SI & now live in FL. Even w/ that I have never changed my dentist. I go quarterly for cleanings. But here is why you should go here; I just flew up for Christmas, On 12/22 I needed a full root canal, typically multiple visits. Knowing I live in FL Dr. C stayed & completed the whole job, including using amazing technology to print a crown, in 1 visit. It was unreal. I had no pain & was at dinner in NYC that evening for a Christmas party.  Every person there is super nice, helpful, etc. Hands down, I will fly from FL to Newark just for an appointment here in SI. That’s how good they are, which I know sounds crazy.  But it’s worth it! If you live in Ny or Nj clearly the best dentist in the area.”
