New York City is bustling with young professionals, eager to make an impression and excel at their careers. With a competitive job market, confidence can be key in making a lasting impression. A large part of confidence comes from how you present yourself to the world, including your smile. Being uncomfortable with the way your teeth look can harm your self-esteem, making it more difficult to put yourself out there, in both personal and professional capacities. Fortunately, there is an accessible and proven option available to rectify that situation.
Bronsky Orthodontics can provide customized, comprehensive treatment options that will make it difficult to wipe the smile off your face. In the past, adults might have shied away from orthodontic treatment, afraid that metal braces might take away from their credibility in a professional setting. Luckily, modern technology has allowed more options than ever before, including the inconspicuous Invisalign®.
Invisalign is a favorable alternative orthodontic treatment for those looking for subtlety and convenience. While traditional braces include metal brackets and wires that are impossible to miss, Invisalign® is instead crafted out of a clear plastic material. Custom fit to your mouth, the aligners sit directly on your dental arch, flush with your teeth, making them nearly invisible to others when worn. Additionally, Invisalign® aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, flossing or for special events.
For optimal efficacy, aligners must be worn at least 21 hours per day as they apply light pressure to your teeth, moving them to the correct position. As your teeth move, aligners will need to be changed in a pre-planned sequence, with each set being worn for 1-2 weeks. Overall treatment typically takes 12-18 months, depending upon the magnitude of the discrepancies present.
Invisalign is the ideal option for anyone looking to adjust their teeth in a way that offers flexibility and discretion. It’s best suited for those with all of their permanent teeth, such as older teenagers and adults. It works best for mild orthodontic complaints, such as bite issues, gaps, crooked teeth and overcrowding. More severe orthodontic needs will require more advanced treatment.
To have success with Invisalign®, one must also be dedicated to the treatment and highly self-disciplined. Removable aligners provide an extensive amount of flexibility, but also plenty of room for failure. A commitment to wearing aligners for the required time per day, excellent oral hygiene and frequent office visits are all important factors to successful Invisalign treatment.
Life of a professional can be busy and overwhelming. The last thing anyone wants to do is add another appointment to their schedule or item to their to-do list. Getting orthodontic care doesn’t have to be disruptive to one’s life, though, thanks to modern advancements and progressive offices. Bronsky Orthodontics NYC understands the challenges of balancing everything, and offers flexible appointment times to accommodate schedules. Appointments can be requested online, and on-call orthodontists are always available for emergencies.
Choosing braces reflects the ability of a patient to prioritize their future dental health and with aesthetically-pleasing options like Invisalign®, concern over professional appearance is no longer a burden.
“As an adult in a profession where I am presenting in front of people daily, I wanted to straighten my teeth and fix my bite without anything showing,” explains former patient Wendy B. “Dr. Mark Bronsky was recommended to me for his reputation of being able to successfully accomplish this. I was under Dr. Bronsky’s care for about one year to align my teeth with Invisalign®.”
