Invisalign® Clear Aligners
You want straighter teeth. You don’t want two years of metal brackets in every meeting, photo, and first impression along the way. Invisalign at GD Dentistry resolves that trade-off: a series of custom, nearly invisible aligners that straighten your teeth while you go about your life — eating what you like, brushing normally, and smiling without hardware.
How Invisalign Works
Invisalign moves teeth with a sequence of clear, removable aligners, each engineered to shift your teeth a precise amount. You wear each set for one to two weeks, switch to the next, and watch your smile progress stage by stage. Compared with traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are:
- Nearly invisible in everyday conversation
- Removable — no food restrictions, no flossing gymnastics
- Smooth and comfortable, with no wires to break or brackets to poke
- Digitally planned, so you can preview your projected result before starting
What Invisalign Can Correct
Invisalign handles far more than minor cosmetic tweaks. At GD Dentistry we routinely treat crowding, gaps and spacing, overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite, and relapse after childhood braces. Some complex cases still call for other approaches — and if yours does, we’ll tell you directly at your free consultation rather than force a tool that doesn’t fit.
Your Invisalign Journey at GD Dentistry
1. Free Consultation and Digital Records
We examine your teeth and bite, capture digital X-rays and imaging, and confirm you’re a strong Invisalign candidate.
2. 3D Treatment Plan
Your aligner series is mapped digitally, stage by stage. You’ll see how your teeth will move and roughly how long treatment will take before committing.
3. Wear, Switch, Progress
Wear your aligners about 22 hours a day, switching sets as directed. Short progress visits at our Brooklyn, Garden City, Trumbull, or Stamford offices keep everything on track.
4. Retain Your Result
A custom retainer holds your new alignment for the long term.
Invisalign vs. ClearCorrect
GD Dentistry offers both major clear aligner systems, which means our recommendation is driven by your case — not by a franchise agreement. ClearCorrect is often a strong, budget-conscious alternative, while Invisalign’s platform excels in certain complex movements. We’ll compare both openly at your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Invisalign take?
Most adults finish in 12 to 18 months, with simple cases sometimes done in under a year. Your digital treatment plan gives you a realistic timeline before you begin.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Expect mild pressure for a day or two with each new aligner set — that’s the feeling of teeth moving. It’s far gentler than adjustment appointments with traditional braces.
Can teens use Invisalign?
Yes. Invisalign works well for teens with all or most permanent teeth, and compliance indicators help parents confirm the aligners are actually being worn.
Will insurance cover Invisalign?
Many plans with orthodontic benefits apply them to Invisalign. Our team verifies your coverage and walks you through payment options at your free consultation.
What if I’ve had braces before and my teeth shifted?
Relapse cases are among the most common — and most satisfying — Invisalign treatments. Correcting drift is often faster than the original orthodontics.
