How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear aligners to move your teeth gradually into their ideal positions. Each set of aligners applies gentle, targeted pressure to specific teeth, shifting them a small amount at a time until your smile reaches its final result. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, clear aligners are custom-fitted to wrap snugly around the teeth and are made from smooth, transparent, medical-grade plastic, making them virtually invisible during wear.
At SmileWorks, the process starts with a 3D digital scan of your mouth. That scan gives us a precise model of your teeth and allows us to design your treatment plan in detail, showing you exactly how your smile will progress from start to finish. Most patients wear each set of aligners for about one to two weeks before moving to the next, and aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day for the best results. Treatment timelines vary depending on the complexity of each case, and our team will give you a clear picture of what to expect from your very first consultation.
Are You a Good Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign is an excellent option for a wide range of patients, but not every orthodontic situation is best addressed with clear aligners alone. Our team will review your teeth, bite, and jaw during your consultation to determine whether Invisalign is the right fit for your goals. Some of the most common issues Invisalign addresses well include:
- Crowding: teeth that are too close together and overlap
- Spacing: gaps between teeth that affect both appearance and function
- Overbite: upper teeth that extend too far over the lower teeth
- Underbite: lower teeth that sit in front of the upper teeth when biting
- Crossbite: upper and lower teeth that don’t align properly side to side
- Open bite: upper and lower teeth that don’t meet when the mouth is closed
If your case requires a more complex correction, we may recommend combining Invisalign with other orthodontic treatments or discuss whether traditional braces would be a better path. We’re happy to walk you through the differences, our braces vs. Invisalign comparison is a great starting point if you’re weighing your options.
Does Invisalign Work for Teens and Adults?
One of the things patients love most about Invisalign is that it genuinely works for people at almost any stage of life. Adults who put off orthodontic treatment because they didn’t want metal braces now have a discreet alternative that fits right into a professional lifestyle. Invisalign Teen offers the same clear aligner technology with a few adjustments designed for younger patients who are still growing and may occasionally misplace an aligner. Whether you’re a working professional in Murray Hill, a parent in the Upper East Side, or a student near the Flatiron District, Invisalign fits the way you live.
After treatment wraps up, protecting your results with a retainer is essential. Teeth have a natural tendency to drift back toward their original positions over time, and consistent retainer wear is the most effective way to hold your new smile in place. Our retainer options in Manhattan are part of a complete approach to care that carries you through every stage of your orthodontic journey.
Does Insurance Cover Invisalign in Manhattan?
Invisalign is covered under orthodontic insurance for many patients, and SmileWorks accepts all PPO plans, including Aetna, Cigna PPO, Delta Dental PPO, MetLife PPO, Guardian, and others. Orthodontic benefits are typically a lifetime benefit rather than an annual one, and our team is glad to verify your coverage ahead of your appointment and handle all claims on your behalf.
FSA and HSA funds are also accepted, making it easy to put tax-free dollars toward your treatment. Free consultations are available for new patients, so you can get a clear sense of your options and what Invisalign would look like for your specific case, no commitment required.
