Affordable Braces & Invisalign Near You in Flatbush
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign clear aligners are a form of orthodontic appliance that
uses transparent clear trays rather than metal brackets and wires
to straighten your teeth. Metal braces are the original form of
orthodontic care – but when Invisalign clear aligners came along,
they changed everything. Invisalign offers all the effectiveness
of traditional braces, without the noticeable metal in your mouth.
Using patented technology, Invisalign clear aligners provide
gentle, precise tooth movements, using SmartTrack™ material for a
comfortable, convenient fit. The aligners are removable, so you
can eat anything you want, simply taking out the aligners for
meals! Invisalign has helped millions of people transform their
smiles, with clear, convenient, attractive aligners.

How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign transformed the orthodontic experience. Instead of
getting metal braces permanently bonded on the teeth during
treatment, Invisalign uses removable clear plastic aligners that
fit over your teeth and provide gradual, all-around movement to
gently and safely move the teeth to their correct positions. Only
Invisalign uses SmartTrack™ material, a patented plastic designed
by Invisalign that is clinically-proven to move teeth faster and
with more precision than other materials. Invisalign treatment may
also use SmartForce™ attachments, small button-like holds that
attach to the teeth to give the aligners added grip. Invisalign
clear aligners are removable: take out for meals, wash and soak
easily to keep clean, and don’t worry about staining underneath
permanent brackets! Your appearance is not disrupted with metal
brackets and wires – the nearly invisible aligners provide a
discreet appearance that many patients prefer, especially working
adults. Not all orthodontic providers are experienced with
Invisalign: look for highly-ranked, experienced orthodontists who
have the most expertise straightening teeth with this advanced
clear aligner technology.

Types of Braces
Did you know? There are many forms of braces treatment! Metal
braces are the original form of braces, but there are several
other forms of braces to know about, too! Metal braces use metal
brackets and a thin, flexible wire, to slowly and precisely move
the teeth into their correct positions. The orthodontist controls
the movements of the teeth with a carefully designed plan that
safely aligns the smile. The brackets and wire are secured by
small elastic rubber bands – choose from many different colors,
representing your favorite sports team, school colors, or seasonal
shades! Ceramic braces use similar technology, but instead of
metal brackets, they use clear or ceramic brackets that blend into
your smile much more discreetly. They are either transparent or
tooth-colored, for a mature, discreet design that many older teens
and adults prefer. Clear or ceramic braces provide all the
effectiveness of metal braces, with a subtler appearance.
Incognito® or lingual braces offer great results using a different
design: these braces go behind the teeth for treatment that you
can’t even see from the outside! This design works better on
bottom teeth than top teeth, but can offer excellent results for a
variety of dental issues. Whichever treatment you choose, you can
trust excellent results when supervised by an expert, professional
orthodontist.
