How Long Will My Invisalign Treatment Take?

Invisalign Forest Hills Orthodontic Associates in Forest Hills, NY

When celebrities such as Tom Cruise and Justin Bieber sought to correct their smile flaws, they turned to Invisalign®, avoiding the unsightly appearance of a mouthful of metal, pain, and dietary restrictions that accompany traditional braces.

You too can get a Hollywood smile without the hassle of old-school brackets and wires. Emanuel Mizrahi, DDS, of Forest Hills Orthodontic Associates in Forest Hills, New York, has used Invisalign to treat countless teens and adults with a wide array of orthodontic issues.

Providing a clear alternative to metal

What makes Invisalign special? Invisalign uses clear aligners that gently guide your teeth into place. There are no metal wires or brackets. The custom aligners are virtually invisible, so most people won’t even know you’re wearing them. You’ll have no embarrassing metal smile, and you won’t need any wax to protect your gums from protruding wires.

Removable means more convenient

Another major feature of the Invisalign system is that your aligners are removable. You can take them out when you eat, drink, and brush and floss your teeth.

With traditional braces, most people have to watch what they eat so foods won’t stick to their braces. You can forget about that inconvenience with Invisalign. With Invisalign, you can pop out your aligners in seconds and eat what you want.

When it comes to oral hygiene, people with traditional braces have to weave awkward floss threaders between their metal wires and brackets and hope they get everything. With Invisalign, you can pop out your aligners and brush and floss like normal.

How does it work?

First, Dr. Mizrahi assesses your teeth to make sure you’re a candidate for Invisalign treatment.

If you are, he takes impressions of your teeth so he can plan how to best move them into position and calculate how long your treatment will take.

He then sends this information to a laboratory to create your custom aligners. If you’re like most patients, you’ll get about 24 sets of aligners, and each set will slightly change the angle of your teeth. Dr. Mizrahi will give you specific instructions on when to switch to the next set. Most patients switch to a new set every 1-2 weeks.

You’ll visit Dr. Mizrahi every six to eight weeks to ensure your treatment is progressing as expected. For the best outcome, Dr. Mizrahi will likely recommend you wear your aligners 22 hours a day, taking them out only to eat, drink, brush and floss.

A real timesaver

Although treatment time differs from patient to patient, the average Invisalign treatment takes nine to 15 months. With traditional braces, the time takes two to three years.

Dr. Mizrahi also offers AcceleDent®, which can complement your Invisalign treatment and help straighten your teeth even faster. The hands-free mouthpiece applies precisely calibrated micropulses to the roots of your teeth and surrounding bone. Using this system 20 minutes a day at home can move your teeth up to 50% faster.

If you want the smile of your dreams without all the hassles of traditional braces, book an appointment with Forest Hills Orthodontic Associates online or over the phone and see if Invisalign is right for you.

I’ve had an amazing experience at Forest Hills Orthodontics! Dr. Mizrahi is very knowledgeable, extremely nice, patient, and takes the time to explain everything clearly. From the dental assistants and treatment coordinators to the front desk, all the ladies who work in the office are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made every visit feel comfortable. I’ve never had any issues scheduling appointments, and they always return my calls promptly. From start to finish, the service has been top-notch. This place is easily one of the best orthodontist offices in Queens, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for quality care with a personal touch!

Great doctor, great stuff and great vibes. Highly recommended!!
I had my teeth alignment fixed with Invisalign and they looks great now. I could say my case was a bit complicated with implant, although Dr.Mizrahi and stuff did wonderful job with what I wanted to do which was fixing my teeth alignment before putting implant for my front left tooth that I got damaged by the accident. Because it was front, I worried that how it will look with Invisalign but they fill the tooth well and no one noticed that I was wearing it or tooth missing. First day for Invisalign, the stuff got out of her way and made sure I received it immediately. After finished with treatment, successfully able to put implant and my teeth looks great! Also, last but not least, their office is always clean and gives me good feeling. Probably something to do with the place and people who work there. I am always feeling great when I leaving the office. Thank you so much for such a great works.

I can’t thank Dr. Mizrahi and his lovely staff enough. I’ve been a patient of his for 7yrs now and each visit has been always pleasant. The office is always clean & very spacious. Dr. Mizrahi and his assistants are very professional. I loved when I got my braces & I must say loved coming every time for my monthly check ups. Had a great experience with my braces ( actually kind of miss them lol ) but overall I’m so happy with my outcome it’s been a few years now and I’m still HAPPY with my results 😁😁😁😁 if your looking for GREAT WORK & Service don’t hesitate to book appointment for yourself or your little ones you won’t be disappointed Trust me. I highly recommend Dr. Mizrahi and his staff to anyone in need. Thank so much again for turning my shy smile to a big smile 😃😁🦷

Dr. Mizrahi is a brilliant and compassionate orthodontist. As someone who grew up with no dental care my case was rather complicated. He helps you to navigate through your case with profound knowledge and experience. I have worked with quite a few dentists in the past few years, so I can tell the difference. His office is also clean, organized and brings you a sense of warmth. His staff are all courteous and caring.

Dr. Mizrahi and his team are truly the best.

Dr. Emanuel Mizrahi is absolutely amazing ! The office is so professional and accommodating. They’re more like our family and they’ve been with her all throughout her junior hs and prepared her well for her first hs year. We are so appreciative and happy with his work!
