Clear Braces for Straighter Smiles

Adults with crooked or unevenly spaced teeth are often reluctant to get braces, which tend to draw a lot of attention and can be somewhat of a hassle to maintain. There is another option, however: you can get clear Invisalign aligners that are virtually invisible when worn and allow you to eat and drink whatever you want during your orthodontist treatment in Queens. Are you looking to improve your smile without drawing unwanted attention? Call our office Queen today for a consultation.

How Invisalign Works

Multiple clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth. You’ll be told to wear these aligners in a specific order; each one pushes your teeth closer to where they need to be. You should be wearing them for at least 20 to 22 hours every day, and you will be told to replace them every two weeks. During your orthodontist treatment in Queen, you can take your aligners out of your mouth when you eat or drink anything besides water. You’ll also need to remove them to brush and floss your teeth.

Benefits of Invisalign

  • Invisalign is very easy to clean compared to braces, since you can remove the aligners.
  • You don’t have to visit our office as often; you just need to come in every six weeks for a progress check.
  • You do not need to change your diet at all since you won’t be wearing your aligners while you eat.
  • Clear aligners tend to look better on the teeth than traditional braces, and they’re more comfortable as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What orthodontic treatments do you offer at Breezy Point Smiles?
A. We offer a range of orthodontic options, including Invisalign clear aligners for adults and teens seeking a discreet way to straighten teeth without traditional braces. Our team evaluates your smile and recommends the best approach tailored to your goals.
Q. What is Invisalign and how does it work?
A. Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners that gently shift your teeth into the desired position. You wear each set of aligners for about 20–22 hours per day and switch to the next set approximately every two weeks. Because they are removable, you can eat and clean your teeth normally during treatment.
Q. How is Invisalign different from traditional metal braces?
A. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are clear, removable, and virtually invisible, making them ideal for adults and professionals who prefer a more discreet treatment option. You also don’t have dietary restrictions since aligners are removed when eating or drinking anything except water.
Q. Am I a candidate for orthodontic treatment?
A. Most patients with crooked, crowded, or spaced teeth can benefit from orthodontic care. A consultation at Breezy Point Smiles will determine whether Invisalign or another treatment option is right for your specific dental needs.
Q. How long does orthodontic treatment usually take?
A. Treatment time varies depending on the severity of misalignment. Many patients complete Invisalign treatment in about 12–18 months, but a personalized timeline will be provided after your initial exam and orthodontic evaluation.
Q. Does orthodontic treatment at Breezy Point Smiles hurt?
A. It’s normal to feel slight pressure when you first wear a new set of aligners, but most patients find Invisalign and clear braces comfortable and easy to adapt to. Any discomfort typically fades within a few days.
Q. Will orthodontic treatment improve my oral health?
A.  Yes! Straight teeth are easier to clean, which can reduce the risk of decay, gum disease, and other dental complications. Proper alignment can also improve bite function, chewing, and overall dental health.
Q. How often do I need to visit for check-ups during orthodontic treatment?
A. With Invisalign, you’ll usually visit Breezy Point Smiles every 4–6 weeks so we can monitor your progress and provide your next set of aligners.

Soft Tissue Laser

Nowadays, many procedures involving the gums are performed using a soft-tissue laser. We can use the energy from the laser to excise unneeded or infected tissue while also sterilizing the area to prevent bacteria from causing any more damage. Many patients prefer soft tissue lasers over traditional instruments because they cause very little discomfort; the mouth often doesn’t need to be numbed at all, and there is very little if any bleeding to worry about afterwards.

Hard Tissue Laser

In addition to lasers for sterilizing and removing soft tissues, we also have lasers that are designed specifically for hard tissue – namely your teeth and bones. We often use our hard tissue lasers to prepare teeth for filling placement. We can remove the decayed parts of the tooth without damaging the rest of the enamel, and the lack of pain means there is no need for us to use a local anesthetic to numb the tooth for such procedures.

Co2 Laser

CO2 lasers have been used in dentistry for more than 25 years. They can be used for a wide range of dental procedures, including soft tissue treatments around dental implants and the removal of gum tissue that has become infected as a result of gum disease. The laser energy is generated using carbon dioxide, and it is set at a wavelength that vaporizes the water found in soft tissue, allowing for quick, efficient cutting.
