Clear Aligners in Manhattan, NYC
Subtle, Customized Orthodontics Without Wires or Brackets
Straightening your teeth doesn’t have to involve noticeable metal braces. At Madison Dental Loft in Midtown and Concierge Dental Design in the Financial District, we offer modern clear aligner solutions tailored to your bite, smile goals, and lifestyle. These virtually invisible trays provide an effective, comfortable, and flexible way to correct misalignment—whether you're addressing minor crowding or more complex orthodontic issues.
Clear aligners are a preferred option for adults and teens who want effective results without compromising appearance or convenience.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are removable trays made from medical-grade, BPA-free plastic. Each set is custom-designed to gradually move your teeth into a more optimal position over time. The trays are switched every one to two weeks as your alignment improves, based on a digital treatment plan developed with precision imaging.
Conditions clear aligners can treat include:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Minor bite issues (overbite, underbite, crossbite)
- Small gaps between teeth
- Mild rotations
- Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
Clear aligners are worn for 20–22 hours a day and removed for meals, brushing, and flossing. This flexibility makes them ideal for patients seeking a lower-maintenance alternative to traditional braces.
How Do Clear Aligners Compare to Other Options?
While aligner systems like Invisalign and ClearCorrect offer brand-specific features, the core benefit of clear aligners remains consistent: discreet, effective treatment designed around your life.
Benefits include:
- Nearly invisible design
- No food restrictions
- No discomfort from wires or brackets
- Easier oral hygiene
- Fewer in-office visits compared to fixed braces
- Can be combined with treatments like teeth whitening for a comprehensive esthetic upgrade
