If you're among the many teens and adults who want beautiful, healthy smiles, but wish to avoid obvious metal braces, take heart. At Now Dental in Bellmore, NY, Dr. Mitchell Kaufman offers clear Invisalign aligners, the discreet orthodontic system which delivers the results you deserve quickly, comfortably and discreetly.

Why bother straightening your teeth?

Whether you're a child, teen or adult, a straight smile is a wonderful asset. Not only does it give you confidence, it improves your oral and overall health.

You see, when teeth are well-aligned, they're easier to keep clean, reducing your chances for tooth decay and dangerous gum disease. Also, a great smile avoids headaches, jaw joint dysfunction and many other issues related to an unbalanced bite.

If you're an adult over 18, you can pursue orthodontic correction. The American Association of Orthodontists says 20 percent of the people wear braces and aligners such as Invisalign are adults like you.

That's why we offer Invisalign

At Now Dental, your dentist, Dr. Kaufman, offers his teen and adult patients an innovative orthodontic solution--Invisalign. The customized aligner pairs are:

• Custom-made to move your teeth into proper position in just about a year
• Crystal-clear
• Smooth and thin
• Removable for routine brushing, flossing, meals, snacks and special occasions
• Versatile, treating a wide range of bite and smile alignment problems, such as overbite, gaps, crowding and more
• Easy to keep clean
• Totally unnoticeable

Your Invisalign care plan

When you come to Now Dental for a consultation, Dr. Kaufman will look at your teeth, gums and bone structure and take special X-rays to determine if Invisalign is right for you. If it is, you'll receive 18 to 30 aligner pairs in a specified sequence. Wear each pair 20 to 22 hours a day for about two weeks, and see your dentist in his Bellmore, NY, office every month for an easy progress assessment.

Stay with your care plan, and you'll enjoy your new smile quickly. Many people wear their last aligner pairs as retainers as Dr. Kaufman specifies.
