Why choose Invisalign?
Dr. Carbonella is one of the top 1% Invisalign providers in the nation and has successfully treated over 1,000 cases. Since its creation in 1999, Invisalign has been a revolutionary orthodontic treatment and alternative to braces, offering a comfortable, convenient, and affordable way of achieving the bite and smile of your dreams. As of 2024, over sixteen million patients have been successfully treated with Invisalign and although there are 100s of clear aligner brands, Dr. Carbonella exclusively uses Invisalign as it has the longest track record of excellent results. Designed to straighten teeth, enhance smiles and correct bad bites, Invisalign utilizes a series of clear, custom-made aligners that gradually and comfortably shift teeth into their desired positions. Dr. Carbonella is a leader in the clear aligner field, and is one of the top Invisalign providers in the country.
​
Unlike conventional braces with metal wires and brackets, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, making them an appealing choice for individuals seeking a more aesthetically pleasing orthodontic solution. The aligners are crafted from a smooth, BPA-free plastic material, ensuring comfort and minimizing irritation to the gums and cheeks. Invisalign treatments take the same amount of time as braces or are sometimes quicker, and with Dr. Carbonella there is no up-charge in price for Invisalign.
Invisalign Process
The treatment process begins with a comprehensive and complimentary consultation, during which Dr. Carbonella and his team use the 3D imaging technology of their Itero scanner to create a personalized treatment plan with your input as the patient. No more gloopy impression molds! Your digital scans are then sent to Invisalign for fabrication of your custom-made series of aligners, each worn for 1-2 weeks before progressing to the next set. As you advance through the series, your teeth gradually move into the desired alignment that we designed together with you. Dr. Carbonella is a perfectionist and will ensure that we get the very best and most esthetic results.
​
One of the standout features of Invisalign is its removable nature. Patients can easily take out the aligners for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, which provides a level of convenience that traditional braces do not offer. This flexibility not only enhances oral hygiene but also allows individuals to enjoy their favorite foods without restrictions. All of your aligners and office visits are included in your treatment fee as well as a set of clear, comfortable retainers at the end to maintain your perfect smile. Dr. Carbonella doesn’t end your treatment until you as the patient or parent are thrilled with the results!
