If your teeth are crooked or misaligned, you’re not alone! In fact, about 9 out of 10 people have misaligned teeth to varying degrees.
While you may think that crooked teeth are strictly a matter of appearances, they can actually impact your dental health. This is because crooked teeth can overlap or be positioned in such a way that they are harder to keep clean.
And if you can’t keep your teeth clean, you can develop oral health problems like tooth decay and gum disease.
Until recently, the best way to correct misaligned teeth was to get traditional metal braces. It’s estimated that around 4 million people in the United States are wearing braces at any given time in an effort to achieve straighter, healthier smiles.
Thanks to modern technology, you don’t have to deal with metal braces to straighten your teeth. At River Side Dental Care, you can get a beautiful and healthy smile with Invisalign.

Invisalign is a modern way to treat misaligned teeth. Instead of attaching metal brackets and wires to your teeth as traditional braces do, Invisalign uses custom-made clear aligner trays. These aligners are worn over your teeth and strategically exert pressure to shift the position of your teeth, just like traditional braces. When used properly, you’ll start to see results in just a few weeks.
Invisalign aligner trays are made of high-quality plastic that is tailored to fit your teeth exactly. Using advanced diagnostic imaging, Dr. Angelica Silivria can accurately predict how long your treatment will take. We can even use a 3D computer model to show you how your treatment will progress so you can get a sneak peek at your future smile!
Invisalign does a similar job to traditional braces in straightening teeth, but without the wires and brackets. It's more aesthetically pleasing and works well for both children and adults. A liner is worn which applies a gentle pressure on your teeth, gradually straightening them.
In my experience, the Invisalign treatment is comparable in length to traditional braces.
Invisalign is seen as more comfortable than traditional braces because it doesn't have brackets and archwires which can poke your gums, cheeks, and lips. The trays are smooth so you don't feel any sharp edges.
The length of treatment varies on a case-by-case basis. For some patients with minor issues, it can take less than 20 weeks, while more involved treatments may take an average of a year and a half.
The process involves getting impressions or scans that we send to the Invisalign company. They design a treatment plan which is then reviewed and modified as necessary by the doctor before approving the aligners for production.
Invisalign trays are clear aligners made of a special kind of plastic. They're transparent so they're not visible on the teeth. The number of trays required depends on the severity of the case.
Yes, the manufacturer recommends wearing aligners for 22 to 24 hours a day. The only time you should remove the trays is when eating or performing oral hygiene.
The presence of gum disease or untreated caries may prevent you from getting the Invisalign treatment. We may recommend taking care of any active disease before starting Invisalign treatment.
In general, it's not painful. However, when you're putting a new aligner in, there may be some pressure sensitivity. In such cases, taking some Advil can help.
Many insurances do provide coverage for orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign. To check your insurance eligibility, please give us a call.
The cost of Invisalign treatment depends on the length of the treatment and any insurance coverage. In our area, the cost can range from $2,500 to $9,000. Please contact us for an accurate estimate.
It's easy to schedule an appointment. Just give us a call at (646) 414-6238 to book a consultation about the Invisalign treatment.

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that realigns teeth. It is a popular alternative to traditional metal braces.
Each Invisalign retainer is custom-made. The retainer is clear and gently pulls teeth into alignment. The aligners are made from BPA-free plastic, making them much more comfortable than conventional braces. Their translucent color makes the aligners nearly impossible to notice.
Invisalign aligners are custom-made to cover your teeth. At Riverside Dental Care, we fit patients for multiple sets of aligners. Each retainer is worn for approximately two weeks. Each new aligner is slightly tighter, so it can push your teeth together for a straighter smile.
The biggest benefit of Invisalign is its subtle nature. The aligners are clear and blend into your teeth. They do not create difficulty when speaking and can be easily removed while eating. Therefore, you can wear them all day long without feeling self-conscious.
Invisalign also saves time. The treatment does not require constant checkups or painful adjustments. The entire process is shorter than metal braces, which means you can get your dream smile before you know it.
