How Invisalign Works
Invisalign treatment begins with detailed digital planning. We use iTero digital impressions to create a precise 3D model of your teeth. In certain cases, 3D CT scanning may be recommended to support a comprehensive evaluation.
Your treatment plan typically includes:
- Wearing a series of clear aligners designed to gradually shift your teeth
- Switching to a new set of aligners approximately every 1–2 weeks
- Visiting our Financial District office every 6–8 weeks for progress checks
- Completing treatment in a timeline that commonly ranges from 6 to 18 months, depending on case complexity
Because aligners are removable, patients in Tribeca, SoHo, and Battery Park City often appreciate the ability to remove them for meals, meetings, and social events while maintaining daily brushing and flossing routines.

Who Is a Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign can be appropriate for a range of orthodontic concerns, including:
- Mild to moderate crowding
- Spacing between teeth
- Certain bite issues such as overbite, underbite, and crossbite
- Orthodontic relapse after previous braces or aligner treatment
More complex alignment or jaw concerns may be better addressed with traditional braces or a combined approach such as hybrid orthodontic treatment.
During your consultation in our New York, NY office, Dr. Lucas W. Shapiro will evaluate your smile and bite to determine whether Invisalign is appropriate for your needs.
If jaw discomfort or TMJ-related symptoms are present, related evaluation may also involve our TMJ therapy services.
