3 Reasons You May Be a Good Candidate for Invisalign

Invisalign® has really changed the course of orthodontics by creating options beyond traditional metal braces. If you are interested in straightening your teeth with Invisalign, the only question that remains is whether or not you’re a good candidate for the procedure and can move on with it.

You Don’t Like the Idea of Braces

One of the biggest reasons people turn to Invisalign is because they don’t want to deal with braces. If you’re looking for an orthodontic treatment that’s more subtle than the noticeable look of metal brackets and wires, then that’s a good first step toward being an Invisalign patient.

You Don’t Require Severe Realignment

Invisalign can straighten out issues like crowding and gaps. However, it’s best suited for those who only need mild to moderate realignment. If the current position of your teeth requires more serious movement or even jaw realignment, then you should look to other treatments to get the results you want.

You Can Commit to the Treatment

Many people like Invisalign because they can take the alignment trays in and out, but that also means that you need to be diligent about how and when you’re wearing them. It’s tempting to leave them out for longer than you’re supposed to, but doing so can delay or disrupt your treatment. You should be dedicated to wearing the trays for at least 22 hours a day and following the treatment as prescribed by your doctor.

As somebody with pretty bad anxiety about the dentist, Doctor Dan made me feel very calm throughout getting one of my teeth pulled. It was also extremely quick, I didn’t even realize it was over. I’ve been a patient here for a while and have always felt comfortable in the atmosphere. Front desk staff, hygienists, and dentists are very kind.

Yesterday was my first time at Queensbroro Dental and hands down the absolute best dental visit I have ever had. I had an emergency visit for a broken molar that was in really bad shape and had the pleasure of being treated by Dr.Dan. After some quick X-rays, Dr.Dan came in to tell me the harsh truth, the tooth must go and I needed a cavity in the next tooth to be taken care of as well. Dr.Dan presented me with three treatment options also demonstrating how each one worked which was amazing. Shortly after Angie one of the receptionist’s came in with the break down of all three plans with what insurance coverages and what I would end up paying. After some careful deliberation the choice to go with an implant was made and shortly after we began. Let me tell you for a man with many big muscles he was so so gentle I honestly didn’t feel a thing and both procedures were done before I even realized it. From front desk to the dentist and even the dental assistant everyone warmed my heart which is so very rare now a days sadly. They truly do care and I will absolutely be going back for further treatment

I had the best visit with dental hygienist Thinley. This was probably the best dental experience I’ve ever had. Her approach was so gentle and she had great bedside manner. I’ve never been had such a gentle cleaning. Usually I’m tense the entire visit and waiting for it to hurt but that didn’t happen at all today. She also explained everything so thoroughly, which I appreciated. The front staff are super friendly and Dr. Barayev was also really nice. 10/10 dental experience!

Excellent service. The receptionist Jazmin is literally so sweet and the reason I even ended up coming here. She helped me book an appointment and explained cost breakdowns in an easily digestible way. Dr Dan was also very thorough and was willing to answer all of my questions and provide clarity when needed. He was very gentle and talked me through everything he was doing. At checkout I was provided with all necessary paperwork and even a little dental care package with a toothbrush toothpaste and floss; I haven’t been to a dentist who has done that in a while so that was a nice surprise. I felt extremely comfortable and well taken care of which is important for me when it comes to any aspect of my health. I will definitely be back!

I want to take a moment to highlight and recognize your hygienist, Jessica. She is truly a gem and exceptional at what she does. Her attention to detail, passion for her work, and the empathetic touch she brings to each visit make getting my teeth cleaned an absolute pleasure. In all my years of dental cleanings, she is the best hygienist I’ve ever had, and she continues to leave a lasting impression. Thank you, Jessica!
