Invisalign

The skilled providers at Duo Dental Spa believe convenience and ease of use of the Invisalign® system make it the ideal choice for straighter teeth. If you reside in or around the Queens Forest Hills neighborhood of Queens, New York City, New York, and want straighter teeth, call the office to schedule your free consultation or book an appointment online today.

Are braces really necessary?

Orthodontic treatment does more than straighten teeth. It also prevents other oral and general health problems.

If you are not certain that you or your family can benefit from orthodontic treatment, consider the following:

Crowded teeth

When left untreated, crowded teeth trap food particles that cause tooth decay and gum disease, ultimately leading to tooth loss.

Excessive wear

Uneven distribution of biting forces leads to cracks, fractures, and excessive wear of the teeth.

Poor alignment

Poorly aligned teeth interfere with chewing ability which affects digestion and overall health.

Orthodontics can also play a significant role in correcting speech and breathing difficulties, as well as sleep apnea and even snoring.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign treatment starts with a consultation. Your Duo Dental Spa provider Dr. Vinson will evaluate your smile and then map out a precise, customized digital treatment plan that showcases the step-by-step transformation of your smile.

Once you approve your plan, your unique aligners will be created. You will wear each set of aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, changing to a new set of aligners every 1 to 2 weeks. Each set of aligners will gently and gradually shift your teeth into place, according to your treatment plan, until you reach your beautiful new smile.

What happens when the Invisalign treatment is complete?

Generally, for anyone who has completed orthodontic treatment, whether with Invisalign treatment or braces, the Duo Dental Spa team recommends nightly use of a retainer to prevent teeth from gradually shifting back toward their initial position. 

Every case is different, so as you are nearing the end of your treatment, the team will discuss your personalized recommendation for the use of retainers.

How much does Invisalign cost?

In most cases, the cost of Invisalign treatment is similar to the cost of braces. Cost is a big question for anyone considering orthodontic work. However, as you weigh the expense of the treatment, you should consider the benefits of this lifetime investment — a healthier, more beautiful smile resulting in a more confident you.

At your complimentary evaluation visit to Duo Dental Spa, the dental and aesthetics team will determine the cost of your treatment based on how complex your case is and how many aligners you need.

Invisible and comfortable, Invisalign can provide you with the smile you’ve always dreamed of. Call the office to schedule a free consultation or book a visit online, which is fast and easy.
