Invisalign Clear Braces in Atlanta
A confident smile reflects inner beauty that anyone would want to show off. Teeth whitening and cleaning are a common practice because they can be cleaned, but if their teeth are crooked or misaligned, a person may feel reluctant to smile. Aside from aesthetics, misalignment can lead to problems such as biting, chewing, and jaw discomfort. It also makes it difficult to clean certain areas, leading to plaque buildup and tooth decay.
Invisalign makes the process of straightening teeth much easier and more convenient. Alignment using Invisalign enables effortless cleaning due to the absence of wires, making these aligners perfect for busy individuals and those wishing to avoid metal braces. These nearly invisible aligners require minimal maintenance. Our Midtown East Manhattan office offers Invisalign treatments, administered by Dr. Ina Chern, equipping patients with modern technology that straightens teeth with less pain than braces.
What to Expect With Invisalign Braces
Invisalign is one of the world’s leading “invisible braces” systems, using cutting-edge orthodontic innovations to deliver consistent, predictable results. Made from transparent, BPA-free plastic, Invisalign trays are barely visible when worn and provide an effective alternative to metal brackets and wires. Start your journey to a brilliant smile with Invisalign today!
Each aligner is worn for approximately two weeks before being replaced with the next set in your treatment series. The process is straightforward and fits easily into your daily routine.
You may have questions about Invisalign treatment, which is why our certified NYC Invisalign provider, Dr. Gibbs, has gathered answers to some of the most frequently asked questions from patients to help guide you through the experience.

Your Invisalign Treatment Journey: Step-by-Step
First Appointment (30-60 minutes)
The initial consultation includes discussing the patient’s goals and taking photos of his or her face, particularly focusing on the smile.
Dr. Chern checks your dental history, performs an exam to ensure your teeth are healthy and will take relevant x-rays to check bone support for tooth movement. All work must be done for the patient before starting Invisalign.
Capturing your impressions and taking digital scans will help create a 3D model with a future smile, and this helps to create a unique model for your case (ClinCheck).
Second Appointment (30 minutes)
We show you the digital model that will serve as a guide for your treatment.
After we approve you we will place your order for custom aligners and schedule a date for a custom fitting.
Third Appointment (30-45 minutes)
Small attachments that will help position the first aligner will be placed on the selected teeth.
You will be given several sets of aligners that will need to be changed on a weekly basis (every 7-10 days).
You will be told in detail what the maintenance routine will be during treatment and what to expect for progress.
Follow-Up Appointments (15-30 minutes)
Each aligner will be worn 20-22 hours a day for 7-10 days before switching to the next set.
