Dr. Alikhani, Dr. Lien, and the professional team at the House of Orthodontia have developed a list of thoughtful questions to help you decide if Invisalign work treatment in Cobble Hill, NY, is right for you.
How Do I Know if Invisalign Is Right for Me?
Am I responsible?
To be treated effectively with Invisalign work, you need to accept the responsibility of caring for the trays. Not only do the trays need to be kept clean, but you also need to keep track of them while they are not being worn. Because the aligners are removable and clear, they can easily be misplaced or accidentally thrown out.
It is also important to remember to put them back in your mouth after eating or brushing. A new set of tray aligners is exchanged for the old set in approximately two-week intervals as part of the course of treatment.
- How much work do I need done?
Invisalign is best for patients who don’t need complex orthodontic correction. Dr. Alikhani and Dr. Lien usually recommend Invisalign for:
-
Overbite or Underbite
Overcrowded teeth
Gapped teeth
General spacing issues
If you need to raise or lower teeth significantly or close large gaps, traditional braces may be more effective.

- Will Invisalign fit into my lifestyle?
Invisalign is virtually invisible to the casual observer, so patients can continue to smile big while undergoing treatment. Because the aligner trays are clear and removable, you can continue to eat the foods you love, unlike the limitations on eating certain foods often associated with treatment with traditional braces.
Your trays do need to be removed for eating, brushing, flossing, and to clean the trays.
- What will Invisalign cost in time and money?
Treatment time typically lasts approximately a year and a half, depending on the patient. Appointments with Dr. Alikhani and Dr. Lien while being treated with Invisalign work may be more frequent than with traditional braces, but check-ups are short.
It’s difficult to determine what the exact cost of your unique treatment will be without visiting an orthodontist, but this Invisalign Cost Calculator is a good gauge. The House of Orthodontia can help provide affordable treatment with a number of financing options and cooperation with many popular insurance companies.
