About Invisalign

A Modern Clear Aligner System

Invisalign is a clear aligner system that straightens teeth using a series of custom-made, removable plastic trays instead of brackets and wires. Each set of aligners is worn for 1 to 2 weeks, then swapped for the next in the sequence. Over the full series, your teeth shift gradually into their final positions.

At Brace Central, every Invisalign case is planned by our trusted orthodontist team using ClinCheck software, so you'll see a 3D simulation of your finished smile before the first aligner is made.

Why Patients Choose It

Benefits of Invisalign

Removable for meals.

No food restrictions. Take the aligners out to eat what you want, then brush and re-insert.

Easier oral hygiene.

Brush and floss normally without working around brackets.

Predictable timeline.

ClinCheck digital planning gives you a 3D preview of your finished smile and a projected end date.

Fewer office visits.

Most cases need a check-in every 6 to 8 weeks instead of every 4.

Designed for kids, teens, and adults.

Invisalign Teen includes compliance indicators that track wear time.

Comfortable transitions.

Each new aligner moves teeth in small increments. Most patients feel only mild pressure for 1 to 2 days.

Who It's For

Ideal Candidates for Invisalign

Invisalign works best for patients with mild to moderate orthodontic concerns, including:

›Crowded teeth

›Spaces or gaps

›Overbite, underbite, and crossbite (mild to moderate cases)

›Mild tooth rotation

›Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment

›Patients with existing dental implants or crowns: surrounding teeth move into proper alignment, while implants stay anchored

Severe bite issues, complex tooth rotations, or cases requiring significant jaw repositioning may need traditional braces or surgical orthodontics. During your consultation, our doctors will review your X-rays and digital scan to confirm Invisalign is the right approach, or recommend an alternative.

The Journey

Step-by-Step Invisalign Treatment

01

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a friendly, no-obligation consultation with our doctors at our Brooklyn office. They'll examine your teeth and bite, discuss your smile goals, and answer all your questions.

02

Customized Treatment Plan

Using your digital scan, our doctors will map out a custom plan showing how your teeth will move over time. You'll be able to preview your future smile virtually.

03

Getting Your Aligners

Once your aligners arrive, we'll schedule an appointment for you to receive them. Our doctors will make sure the first aligner fits well and guide you through how to wear and care for them. You'll typically wear each aligner for 1 to 2 weeks before moving to the next one.

04

Wearing Your Aligners

To achieve the best results, wear your aligners 22 hours a day. Remove them only to eat, drink (except water), brush, and floss. Mild pressure when switching aligners is expected and means they're working.

05

Regular Check-Ups

Every 6 to 8 weeks, you'll visit us for a check-in. Our doctors will ensure everything is progressing smoothly, give you your next set of aligners, and answer any questions.

06

Completing Treatment & Retention

After your final aligner, we'll confirm your smile is well-aligned. Then it's time to protect your results with retainers. "Retention is critical after any orthodontic treatment," says Dr. Ingberman. "Once we've achieved that gorgeous smile, we want to keep it that way for life."

Financial

Cost of Invisalign in Brooklyn

Your exact cost depends on case complexity and the number of aligners required.

Many insurance plans include orthodontic coverage; the exact amount depends on your plan and case complexity. We accept most major dental insurance plans and offer interest-free in-house payment plans. See our insurance page for details, or ask during your consultation.
