Patients will be expected to wear the aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day to get results. Regular checkups with University Dental Associates will make sure treatment stays on track. Our staff will determine how often new aligners are needed.</p>\n<p>After the desired results have been achieved, the patient may be expected to wear a retainer to maintain those results.

Patients also need to be careful about what they drink when their aligners are in. Anything but water should be avoided. Liquids can seep into the plastic and stay there until the aligner is removed.

For Invisalign to work, the aligners have to be worn for the recommended number of hours a day. Patients should try to limit the number of times they remove the aligners since it will not take long to exceed the time they can be left off.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Cleaning the Aligners</h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Patients should always rinse the aligners when they are removed. Bacteria and plaque can easily attach to them, which can cause an unpleasant odor and sticky feeling on the teeth. Aligners should be cleaned with a clear and unscented antibacterial soap. If patients use toothpaste to clean the aligners, they should make sure that it is not a brand with whitening agents, as these can wear away the plastic.</p>\n<p>Invisalign aligners need to be stored in a case when not being worn. Leaving them out in the open exposes them to germs that can then be transferred to the mouth.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Maintain Proper Oral Hygiene</h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Proper oral hygiene is essential at any time, but it is a bit easier when using Invisalign versus traditional braces. Food and plaque can get trapped in conventional braces\' metal brackets and can be tough to brush. Since Invisalign aligners can be removed, it is simple to brush and floss and replace the aligners when finished.</p>\n<p>Make sure to brush and floss after meals before putting the aligners back in the mouth. This helps keep food particles from getting stuck in the aligners, leading to bacteria growth and bad breath.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS4 invisalign v1 Service Page Section 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ4\" id=\"invisalign v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about taking care of invisalign aligners\"><!-- Pull quote block 4 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"It is essential to use and care for Invisalign aligners appropriately to have a good orthodontic outcome.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ4 invisalign v1 Service Page Pull Quote 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary SPQ\" id=\"invisalign v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Questions closely related to Invisalign\"><!-- Service Page Questions -->\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Questions Answered on This Page</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <a title=\"Q.

The aligners are created from a custom mold of the patient’s mouth, and new aligner trays are provided at specific intervals as part of the treatment process. University Dental Associates will develop the treatment plan and monitor the process.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What are the advantages of Invisalign over traditional metal braces?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Since Invisalign aligners are clear, patients can avoid the unsightly look of a mouth filled with metal brackets and wires. They are also more comfortable to wear and allow the patient fewer restrictions on foods they can eat. Since they are removable, it is easier to brush and floss your teeth.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How long is the treatment time?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Treatment, on average, takes less than two years but can vary depending on the patient’s specific concerns. Aligners must be worn for 20-22 hours a day to see results. If a patient does not wear the aligners for the recommended amount of time, treatment results will take longer.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Does Invisalign hurt?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign’s clear aligners do not rub and poke at the soft tissues of the mouth. Patients can expect to feel some sensitivity for a day or two when a new set of aligners are put in. This means the teeth are shifting and the aligners are working. Any discomfort should go away quickly.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How do you keep Invisalign aligners clean?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Aligners should be cleaned with a clear and unscented antibacterial soap or toothpaste. If using toothpaste, make sure it is not a brand with whitening agents, which can wear away the plastic. Always brush and floss after meals before putting the aligners back in the mouth. This helps keep food particles from getting stuck, which can lead to bacteria growth and bad breath.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Do I have to avoid any foods with Invisalign?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">If you eat with the aligners in place, make sure to avoid hard foods like raw carrots and sticky foods like gum. Hard and sticky candies should also be avoided. You will also want to avoid drinking anything other than water when the aligners are in place. Coffee and tea can stain the aligners, while soda has acidic properties that can break down the plastic.</span></p>\n</span>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPFAQ invisalign v1 Service Page FAQ -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-primary section-block SPVUT\" id=\"invisalign v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Maps, directions, and QR code to help you visit University Dental Associates\"><!-- Service Page Visit Us Today -->\n<!-- Call-out block -->\n<style>\n.nav-image {\ndisplay: inline-block;\n}\n.img-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.icon-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.qr-styling {\nwidth: 60%;\n}\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 14px;\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.img-width, .icon-width {\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.qr-styling {\nmargin-top: 25px;\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 20px;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {\n.fix-wrap-row {\nflex-wrap: wrap;\n}\n.fix-wrap-column {\nflex-basis: 100%;\n}\n}\n</style>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12\">\n<a name=\"dentist-the-bronx-ny\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Quality Dental Services Can Transform Your Smile</h2>\n<p class=\"center-align\">By visiting us as soon as possible, our team can help get you the professional treatment you need.

These aligners are removable and do not have any brackets or wires. They consist of a patented thermoplastic material called SmartTrack® that fits snugly over teeth. Each aligner in the series encourages a slightly different position than the previous one, making the overall correction a steady yet gentle progression.</p>\n<p>Before a patient can begin Invisalign, they must have a consultation to discuss the treatment process and have their smile evaluated. We will map out a <a title=\"Read more about Invisalign FAQ\" href=\"https://www.invisalign.com/frequently-asked-questions\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Invisalign-Dentist\">precise, customized digital treatment plan</a> that shows the patient the step-by-step transformation of their smile during this appointment. Once the patient approves the plan, we will take digital scans, X-rays, and photos of their teeth and mouth to create an accurate model. This information goes to the Invisalign laboratory to create custom-fitting trays.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 invisalign-dentist v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"invisalign-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about how invisalign works to straighten teeth\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Invisalign treatment involves wearing a series of clear aligners that gradually straighten teeth over time.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 invisalign-dentist v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"invisalign-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about the creation of invisalign trays\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"how-is-invisalign-placed\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">The Creation of Invisalign Trays</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>The process of receiving Invisalign trays usually takes around four weeks.

Then, the factory will determine the optimal amount of trays and send the specifications back to us.</p>\n<p>We will make any necessary modifications and then email the changes to the factory. Once implemented, the factory will create the trays, and lab technicians trim each one individually to match the patient’s gumline. Although there is a waiting period before a patient can begin treatment, this process ensures that the treatment process will be effective and comfortable.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 invisalign-dentist v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"invisalign-dentist v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about the creation of invisalign trays\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"The process of receiving Invisalign trays usually takes around four weeks.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 invisalign-dentist v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"invisalign-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about benefits of invisalign\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"benefits-of-invisalign\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Benefits of Invisalign</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>One of the greatest benefits of Invisalign is its clear, almost invisible appearance. The clear aligners are also easy to remove for eating, so patients can eat and drink without restrictions. Once removed, wearers can easily clean their teeth since there are no metal wires in the way. Straighter teeth are easier to clean, making for improved oral hygiene and health. Crooked teeth can trap debris and bacteria that cause cavities and gum disease. When untreated, this can cause a range of problems, from teeth loss to gum disease.</p>\n<p>In most cases, <a title=\"Read more about Invisible Aligners for Teeth\" href=\"https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/guide/invisible-orthodontic-aligners#1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Invisalign-Dentist\">adults and teens are the best candidates</a> since they have fully or mostly developed bones and teeth. Invisalign works more effectively for patients with less severe crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. People with severely misaligned teeth, bites, or significant gaps may benefit from a different means of correction.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 invisalign-dentist v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"invisalign-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about benefits of invisalign\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"One of the greatest benefits of Invisalign is its clear, almost invisible appearance.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 invisalign-dentist v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"invisalign-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Invisalign Dentist services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"invisalign-dentist-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Invisalign Dentist in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Invisalign-Dentist\">Invisalign Dentist in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS invisalign-dentist v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"invisalign-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about finding the right invisalign dentist\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"find-the-right-invisalign-dentist\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Finding the Right Invisalign Dentist</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>People who are interested in Invisalign treatment should conduct thorough research to find the right Invisalign dentist.

new technology putting a smile on young people’s faces: Invisalign Teen. Candidates for this treatment find it fits perfectly with their busy lifestyles. Invisalign Teen allows teens to eat what they want, makes it easier to brush and floss, and is virtually invisible, which helps alleviate the self-consciousness that metal braces can often elicit.</p>\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP2\">Invisalign Teen is a well-established brand growing in popularity. It offers a set of clear aligners to help straighten teeth and correct certain dental conditions. It treats widely-spaced teeth, crowded teeth, overbite, underbite, and simple bite irregularities. Many individuals who have worn braces but notice a shift in teeth after removal also turn to Invisalign to restore their smiles.</p>\n<p>Invisalign Teen is available at University Dental Associates in The Bronx and the surrounding area. Our staff can help you make the right decision for your child’s dental needs.

The indicator changes color from blue to clear or white the more often the trays are worn. Traditional Invisalign trays for adults do not come with the blue indicator, as they assume adults will be responsible enough to wear their aligners for the bulk of the day. The indicator helps busy teens keep track of their wear duration so they can be sure to wear them for the required 22 hours a day.</p>\n<p>Invisalign Teen also comes with a higher number of replacement aligners. Due to the nature of a teenager’s active lifestyles, they provide more replacement aligners with Invisalign Teen, in the event a set becomes damaged or lost. These replacement trays come included in the treatment plan at no additional cost.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 invisalign-for-teens v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"invisalign-for-teens v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about invisalign teen vs. invisalign for adults\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Invisalign Teen aligners have a blue indicator that keeps track of how many hours the patient wore the trays that day as it can often be difficult to remember.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 invisalign-for-teens v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"invisalign-for-teens v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about refitting aligners for teens\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"how-many-trays-invisalign-treatment\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Refitting Aligners for Teens</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Invisalign’s clear aligners, also known as \"trays,\" fit over the top and bottom teeth. Patients wear a series of aligners that will gradually move their teeth into proper position. Each custom-made tray is worn for a few weeks, allowing the teeth to slightly shift before moving on to the next set of trays. The next set is slightly different and helps the teeth continue to move into their desired position. Over time, the small shifts add up to a big change.</p>\n<p>The number of trays a patient will receive and, thus, the duration of treatment depends on the amount of time needed to fix each issue. Some patients may need 20 trays, while others may need as many as 40 trays to correct their teeth. Treatment remains customized to each patient, no matter their age. Your teen must remember to put their Invisalign trays in a safe place upon removal to prevent them from being misplaced or accidentally discarded. In the event your child does misplace the trays, Invisalign Teen comes with replacement aligners that their orthodontist can provide. For cases in which a patient forgets to wear their aligners or replace them as prescribed, refitting and adjusting may be required at their follow-up appointment.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 invisalign-for-teens v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"invisalign-for-teens v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about refitting aligners for teens\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"For cases in which a patient forgets to wear their aligners or replace them as prescribed, refitting and adjusting may be required at their follow-up appointment.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 invisalign-for-teens v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"invisalign-for-teens v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about designed just for teens\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"benefits-for-teenagers-wearing-invisalign-teen\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Designed Just For Teens</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Align Technologies designed Invisalign Teen with teenagers in mind. Invisalign Teen remains a preferred treatment for many teenagers as the invisible trays are removed for eating, drinking, and engaging in activities. For treatment to be as effective as possible, teens will need to wear their aligners for a minimum of 22 hours a day. That gives them plenty of time to take them out for eating, cleaning, and engaging in extracurricular activities such as band practice or sports. Designed to be discreet, Invisalign trays can be worn at other times without disrupting a teen’s life or making them feel self-conscious about the appearance of their smile.</p>\n<p>One of the greatest advantages of Invisalign Teen remains its nearly-invisible trays. Less than one millimeter in thickness, these clear aligners offer teens a far less invasive alternative to traditional metal braces. The clear aligners come computer-manufactured and completely customized to fit the patient’s mouth. It slides comfortably over the surfaces of teeth and can be removed to eat, drink, brush, floss, and engage in activities such as sports and playing musical instruments.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 invisalign-for-teens v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"invisalign-for-teens v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about designed just for teens\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Less than one millimeter in thickness, these clear aligners offer teens a far less invasive alternative to traditional metal braces.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 invisalign-for-teens v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"invisalign-for-teens v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Invisalign for Teens services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"invisalign-for-teens-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Invisalign for Teens in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Invisalign-for-Teens\">Invisalign for Teens in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS invisalign-for-teens v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"invisalign-for-teens v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about materials made for teens\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"materials-used-invisalign-teen\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Materials Made For Teens</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Invisalign Teen makes it easier than ever for teenagers to achieve their desired smile and correct dental issues.

Teens feel less self-conscious wearing the aligners because of their nearly invisible design compared to traditional braces that remain difficult to hide. Teens also enjoy the freedom (engage in activities, eat their favorite foods, ect.) that comes with removable trays.</p>\n<p>Patients who are concerned about pain may prefer Invisalign Teen as their smooth design provides enhanced comfort compared to bulky metal braces. The trays use slower, more gentle movements than traditional braces so any pain and discomfort is minimal, typically mild and temporary. If particularly sensitive to pain, Invisalign Teen offers an ideal option for teens.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS5 invisalign-for-teens v1 Service Page Section 5 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ5\" id=\"invisalign-for-teens v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about why teens prefer invisalign\"><!-- Pull quote block 5 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Invisalign Teen is the preferred orthodontic treatment for many teenagers today.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ5 invisalign-for-teens v1 Service Page Pull Quote 5 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-mute SPFAQ\" id=\"invisalign-for-teens v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Frequently asked questions related to Invisalign for Teens\"><!-- Service Page FAQ -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Frequently Asked Questions</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Are there dietary restrictions with Invisalign Teen?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Unlike traditional braces, there exist no dietary restrictions when using Invisalign Teen. Your teen will remove aligners for eating and drinking, meaning your teen can enjoy favorite foods and beverages while getting treatment. Your teen must remember to place the aligners back in the mouth after eating to ensure completing treatment in a timely manner.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How do you keep Invisalign trays clean?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Invisalign Teen aligners must be cleaned every day — an easy task to do.

The average treatment cost ranges between $3,500 to $5,000 but could be less or more. We have treatment options to make it easier for patients who may not be able to pay the total cost of treatment. We encourage parents to contact their insurance provider in order to fully understand what their plan entails.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Is Invisalign right for my teen?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Deciding which treatment proves right for your teen involves weighing many factors about your child’s oral health and level of personal responsibility.

The right treatment will vary on a case-by-case basis. The first step to determining what is best for a patient is an accurate diagnosis. From then on, University Dental Associates can consider the patient’s treatment process goals, the patient’s lifestyle needs, and more.</p>\n<p>The main distinguishing factor between Invisalign and traditional braces is visibility. Invisalign is a more discreet option, while traditional braces will remain evident in the patient’s mouth. Additionally, Invisalign trays are removable, while traditional braces will remain attached to the patient’s teeth. Consequently, patients with traditional braces may need to make some dietary changes during their treatment. In any case, both Invisalign and traditional braces will require patients to maintain a consistent oral hygiene routine and wear retainers after completion.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 invisalign-vs-traditional-braces v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"invisalign-vs-traditional-braces v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about major differences\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"When considering Invisalign and traditional braces, patients should first realize that no one treatment is better than the other.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 invisalign-vs-traditional-braces v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"invisalign-vs-traditional-braces v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about treatment time\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"treatment-time-traditional-braces-and-invisalign\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Treatment Time</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Though overall treatment time with Invisalign depends on the severity of the condition, most patients complete treatment <a title=\"Read more about Invisible Aligners for Teeth\" href=\"https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/invisible-orthodontic-aligners#1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Invisalign-vs-Traditional-Braces\">within 10 to 24 months</a>. However, patients with more misaligned bites or crooked teeth will likely need to wear their aligners for a more extended period. Some may also require further, smaller refinements for a few months after completing treatment. On the other hand, adults who had braces as children may complete treatment in around 10 weeks.</p>\n<p>Similarly, treatment time with traditional braces will depend on various factors. These include the severity of the patient’s case, the amount of room inside their mouth, and how far their teeth must travel. It is also essential to consider how healthy the patient’s teeth, gums, and supporting bone are. On average, however, braces will typically remain in place for one to three years. In both cases, patients may extend their treatment time by not following instructions closely.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 invisalign-vs-traditional-braces v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"invisalign-vs-traditional-braces v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about treatment time\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"...patients may extend their treatment time by not following instructions closely.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 invisalign-vs-traditional-braces v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"invisalign-vs-traditional-braces v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about efficacy\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"how-effective-are-invisalign-and-traditional-braces\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Efficacy</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p><a title=\"Read more about A comparison of treatment effectiveness between clear aligner and fixed appliance therapies\" href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6343314/#Sec16title\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Invisalign-vs-Traditional-Braces\">According to at least one meta-analysis</a>, patients prefer clear aligners like Invisalign over metal braces for their discreet nature, comfort, and ease of maintaining oral hygiene. Multiple studies in the meta-analysis also found that patients tended to have a shorter treatment time with Invisalign than with traditional braces.</p>\n<p>However, it is crucial to note that Invisalign lacks the precision of traditional braces, making them better suited for patients with less severe orthodontic issues. While clear aligners are an overall effective means of addressing malocclusion, traditional braces can more significantly shift the teeth and jaw. At University Dental Associates, we take all the necessary steps to provide our patients with the most effective, personalized treatment possible.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 invisalign-vs-traditional-braces v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"invisalign-vs-traditional-braces v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about efficacy\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"How effective are Invisalign and traditional braces?\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 invisalign-vs-traditional-braces v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"invisalign-vs-traditional-braces v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Invisalign vs Traditional Braces services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"invisalign-vs-traditional-braces-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Invisalign vs Traditional Braces in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Invisalign-vs-Traditional-Braces\">Invisalign vs Traditional Braces in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS invisalign-vs-traditional-braces v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"invisalign-vs-traditional-braces v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about eating\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"what-can-eat-when-have-braces\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Eating</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p><a title=\"Read more about Types of braces\" href=\"https://www.healthline.com/health/dental-health/adult-braces#types\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Invisalign-vs-Traditional-Braces\">As stated by Healthline</a>, patients should keep their Invisalign trays in their mouth for 20 to 22 hours per day. These trays should only be removed for eating, drinking anything that is not clear water, or performing their oral hygiene routines. Since Invisalign trays do not involve any wires or brackets, the treatment itself does not necessitate any dietary changes. However, patients should still brush their teeth before putting their aligners back on to prevent staining.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, patients will need to adjust their diets while wearing braces. This is because the brackets are sensitive to damage, and patients must take care not to cause them to separate from the tooth. Thus, it is necessary to avoid any foods that are too hard, sticky, or chewy, such as popcorn, chewing gum, hard crackers, and more. It is also essential to limit sugary foods and drinks, as the combination of sugar and saliva may lead to an excess of plaque that is hard to remove.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS4 invisalign-vs-traditional-braces v1 Service Page Section 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ4\" id=\"invisalign-vs-traditional-braces v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about eating\"><!-- Pull quote block 4 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"What can I eat when I have braces?\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ4 invisalign-vs-traditional-braces v1 Service Page Pull Quote 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary SPQ\" id=\"invisalign-vs-traditional-braces v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Questions closely related to Invisalign vs Traditional Braces\"><!-- Service Page Questions -->\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Questions Answered on This Page</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <a title=\"Q.

Teen Right for My Child<span> The Bronx, NY</span></h1>\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP1\">For many teens, the thought of wearing metal braces comes filled with dread. The visibility of wearing braces can be particularly anxiety-producing for teens in the high-stress environment of middle and high school.</p>\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP2\">No one wants to look back on their photos of homecoming or events with friends and see an embarrassed, tight-lipped smile or a layer of metal over their teeth. Fortunately, traditional metal braces no longer remain the only option for teenagers. Invisalign® Teen offers a custom solution that eliminates the negative feelings and ideas often associated with metal braces while still producing the desired result: straight, aligned teeth.</p>\n<p>Invisalign Teen is available at University Dental Associates in The Bronx and the surrounding area. Our staff can help you make the right decision for your child’s dental needs.

They work to gently move teeth to better positions in the same way as traditional braces, creating a long-lasting, healthy smile.</p>\n<p>Invisalign Teen trays are removable, allowing for easier brushing and flossing to maintain healthy teeth and gums. As such, many teens prefer them over traditional metal braces. Invisalign Teen remains particularly popular among teens involved in sports, musical instruments, and other activities. By keeping the mouth free of metal parts associated with traditional braces, Invisalign Teen reduces the risk of oral injury.</p>\n<p>However, teens must remember to put their Invisalign trays in a safe place upon removal to prevent them from being misplaced or accidentally discarded. In the event they do misplace their trays, we can work to provide replacement aligners.</p>\n<p>Since Invisalign Teen comes completely clear, it allows patients to feel confident in their smiles while undergoing treatment. In most cases, only the patient wearing the aligners can tell them apart, making them more cosmetically appealing than traditional metal braces.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 is-invisalign-teen-right-for-my-child v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"is-invisalign-teen-right-for-my-child v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about invisalign teen\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Invisalign Teen offers a series of clear, plastic aligner trays custom made to fit over the teeth.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 is-invisalign-teen-right-for-my-child v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"is-invisalign-teen-right-for-my-child v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about conditions invisalign teen treats\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"what-conditions-does-invisalign-teen-treat\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Conditions Invisalign Teen Treats</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Invisalign Teen can <a title=\"Read more about See what Invisalign® treatment can do\" href=\"https://www.invisalign.com/treatable-cases\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Is-Invisalign-Teen-Right-for-My-Child\">treat a broad range of orthodontic conditions</a>, including:</p>\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li>Crowded teeth</li>\n<li>Widely-spaced teeth</li>\n<li>Overbite</li>\n<li>Crossbite</li>\n<li>Underbite</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Invisalign Teen remains effective at correcting mild to moderate cases.

Invisalign Teen requires attention and care from the patient. Parents should make sure their teen is ready for this level of accountability.</p>\n<p>One of the benefits of Invisalign Teen is that it is removable. Many teens enjoy this, as they can easily remove the aligners for eating, drinking, and activities. However, this means that they must also remember to safely store them and remember to put them back for treatment to progress.</p>\n<p>Teens must wear their aligners between 20 to 22 hours a day. Each aligner has a blue-to-clear compliance indicator, acting as a gauge for how long each aligner must be worn. The indicator turns clear once it is time for the aligner to be replaced. In the event the teen does lose his or her aligner, we can begin the process of getting replacement aligners.</p>\n<p>One of the advantages of choosing Invisalign Teen is fewer appointments. While braces need to be adjusted every few weeks, Invisalign’s progress requires checking every few months. To make an informed decision regarding their child’s readiness for Invisalign Teen, parents must understand their child’s individual needs and level of personal responsibility.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 is-invisalign-teen-right-for-my-child v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"is-invisalign-teen-right-for-my-child v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about choosing invisalign teen for your child\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"To make an informed decision regarding your child’s readiness for Invisalign Teen, you must understand your child’s individual needs and level of personal responsibility.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 is-invisalign-teen-right-for-my-child v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"is-invisalign-teen-right-for-my-child v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Is Invisalign Teen Right for My Child services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"is-invisalign-teen-right-for-my-child-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Is Invisalign Teen Right for My Child in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Is-Invisalign-Teen-Right-for-My-Child\">Is Invisalign Teen Right for My Child in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS is-invisalign-teen-right-for-my-child v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"is-invisalign-teen-right-for-my-child v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about comfort level\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"is-invisalign-teen-painful\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Comfort Level</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Wearing traditional braces may cause your child some minor pain and discomfort.

People who choose Juvéderm are typically pleased with how natural it looks. This treatment gives the face a subtle, brighter look without dramatically changing the shape.</p>\n<p>Another benefit of the treatment is that it is not permanent. If patients do not love their results, they can wait for the ingredients to wear off over a few months and for their face and skin to return to its original state. These injections also contain a small amount of lidocaine, which reduces any pain or discomfort during the procedure.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 juvederm v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"juvederm v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about benefits of juvéderm\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Juvéderm is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler that restores facial volume and minimizes signs of aging.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 juvederm v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"juvederm v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about the right cosmetic treatment solution\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"who-can-receive-juvéderm\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">The Right Cosmetic Treatment Solution</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>There are various types of Juvéderm available, each of which targets a specific cosmetic concern.

These injections are not appropriate for pregnant women or people under the age of 18. Juvéderm candidates should not have an allergy to lidocaine or hyaluronic acid.</p>\n<p>People with early signs of aging may benefit from this treatment.

We will also review the patient\'s medical history during this initial consultation and determine whether Juvéderm is right for them. Once we approve them for treatment, we will create a treatment plan to produce optimal results.  We recommend that patients stop taking medications like blood thinners and ibuprofen before receiving treatment to avoid bleeding and bruising.</p>\n<p>During the appointment, we will mark the areas for treatment and begin injecting Juvéderm into the skin. The process typically takes about 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the number of treatment spots. Patients should avoid sun exposure, strenuous exercise, makeup, and alcohol for 24 hours after treatment. There may be some redness, swelling, itching, or minor discomfort, which will disappear after a few days.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 juvederm v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"juvederm v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about the treatment process\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"The process typically takes about 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the number of treatment spots.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 juvederm v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"juvederm v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Juvéderm services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"juvederm-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Juvéderm in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Juvederm\">Juvéderm in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS juvederm v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"juvederm v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about risks of juvéderm at home\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"who-should-perform-juvederm\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Risks of Juvéderm at Home</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Unfortunately, there have been reports of patients undergoing \"discount\" Juvéderm treatments out of private homes.

Some patients may feel more pain depending on the injection site. The minor discomfort typically goes away quickly once the lidocaine from the injection takes effect.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How much does Juvéderm cost?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">The cost of Juvéderm varies by the number of syringes. Patients who get more syringes of the ingredient or multiple treatment sites may pay more.

Adding volume to the lips or cheeks is not necessarily something related to fighting aging skin. The manufacturer recommends that patients be at least 21 years old.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What will Juvéderm feel like after injection?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">After the initial injection, we will massage the filler into the skin briefly. Once the ingredient settles into the skin, it appears plumper and softer.

Trust is integral in a healthy relationship, and we know good communication is vital in achieving that.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS5 kid-friendly-dentist v1 Service Page Section 5 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ5\" id=\"kid-friendly-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about how kid friendly dentists work\"><!-- Pull quote block 5 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"A kid friendly dentist is perfect for children who are intimidated by the prospect of being in the dentist’s chair.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ5 kid-friendly-dentist v1 Service Page Pull Quote 5 -->\n\n<div class=\"main-service-content section-block info-styling SPIG\"><!—Infographic Group - Kid Friendly Dentist -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m6 center-align\">\n<div class=\"SPIF\"><!-- Service Page Infographic -->\n<a title=\"Kid friendly dentist infographic: A kid friendly dentist can treat children of any age.\" href=\"/the-bronx-ny/kid-friendly-dentist/#what-ages\" class=\"ILBC\" id=\"CPIG-Kid-Friendly-Dentist\"><picture><source type=\"image/webp\" srcset=\"/wp-content/uploads/who-kid-friendly-dentists-treat.webp\"><source type=\"image/png\" srcset=\"/wp-content/uploads/who-kid-friendly-dentists-treat.png\"><img class=\"intro-image-fit infographic-bg\" src=\"/wp-content/uploads/who-kid-friendly-dentists-treat.png\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Kid friendly dentist infographic: A kid friendly dentist can treat children of any age.\" /></picture></a>\n</div><!-- /.--><!-- /Service Page Infographic -->\n</div><!-- /.col s12 m6 center-align -->\n<div class=\"col s12 m6 center-align\">\n<div class=\"SPIF\"><!-- Service Page Infographic -->\n<a title=\"Kid friendly dentist infographic: A kid friendly dentist knows how to assuage a child\'s fears in the dentist\'s chair.\" href=\"/the-bronx-ny/kid-friendly-dentist/#what-kind-of-techniques\" class=\"ILBC\" id=\"CPIG-Kid-Friendly-Dentist\"><picture><source type=\"image/webp\" srcset=\"/wp-content/uploads/kid-friendly-dentist-do.webp\"><source type=\"image/png\" srcset=\"/wp-content/uploads/kid-friendly-dentist-do.png\"><img class=\"intro-image-fit infographic-bg\" src=\"/wp-content/uploads/kid-friendly-dentist-do.png\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Kid friendly dentist infographic: A kid friendly dentist knows how to assuage a child\'s fears in the dentist\'s chair.\" /></picture></a>\n</div><!-- /.--><!-- /Service Page Infographic -->\n</div><!-- /.col s12 m6 center-align -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</div><!-- /.main-service-content section-block info-styling --><!-- /Infographic Group - Kid Friendly Dentist -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-mute SPFAQ\" id=\"kid-friendly-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Frequently asked questions related to Kid Friendly Dentist\"><!-- Service Page FAQ -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Frequently Asked Questions About Kid Friendly Dentists</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Will a kid friendly dentist explain oral hygiene to my child?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Yes, at University Dental Associates, we explain to your child how they can maintain proper oral hygiene. We know this is new to our patients and that it takes practice to create habits. We give both our patients and their parents specific instructions on what the children should do, how to do it, and how often.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Can we tour the kid friendly dentist office before the appointment?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Give us a call, and we may be able to schedule an office tour for you and your little one. This will allow you to meet the staff to create more of a sense of familiarity when the actual appointment comes around. It also gives your child a chance to see where they will be sitting during the appointment and ask questions about tools and other items that may be in the office.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Can I be in the room with my child during the kid friendly dentist visit?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">While you ultimately have the choice of whether to accompany your child, keep in mind that the <a title=\"Read more about America’s Pediatric Dentists\" href=\"https://www.aapd.org/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Kid-Friendly-Dentist\">American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry</a> encourages parents of older children to stay in the waiting room. Younger children may benefit from having a parent present in the room, but it is best to keep out of sight for the duration of the visit. As a silent observer, you can allow the dentist to connect with the patient and establish trust with your child.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Who is an ideal patient for a kid friendly dentist?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">An ideal patient for a kid friendly dentist is a youth who may not be comfortable yet in an adult setting. Someone who needs to learn about oral hygiene and is willing to learn and practice dental health basics is a perfect candidate. The child friendly atmosphere can help an otherwise unsure youth wade into appointments in a pressure-free setting.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What should I take to my child’s first kid friendly dentist appointment?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">If your child has been to a dental professional in the past, bring along the records. If there are medical issues that might affect your child’s oral health, be sure to bring them as well. Have all insurance cards and information on hand so you can properly fill out the forms upon arrival and copies can be made in the office. Finally, if your child has a stuffed animal or another toy that offers emotional solace, bring it along for extra comfort.</span></p>\n</span>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPFAQ kid-friendly-dentist v1 Service Page FAQ -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-primary section-block SPVUT\" id=\"kid-friendly-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Maps, directions, and QR code to help you visit University Dental Associates\"><!-- Service Page Visit Us Today -->\n<!-- Call-out block -->\n<style>\n.nav-image {\ndisplay: inline-block;\n}\n.img-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.icon-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.qr-styling {\nwidth: 60%;\n}\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 14px;\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.img-width, .icon-width {\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.qr-styling {\nmargin-top: 25px;\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 20px;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {\n.fix-wrap-row {\nflex-wrap: wrap;\n}\n.fix-wrap-column {\nflex-basis: 100%;\n}\n}\n</style>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12\">\n<a name=\"dentist-the-bronx-ny\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Quality Dental Services Can Transform Your Smile</h2>\n<p class=\"center-align\">By visiting us as soon as possible, our team can help get you the professional treatment you need.

If you live in The Bronx or surrounding area and are looking for modern dental care, give us a call. Lasers are revolutionizing dentistry, but a family dentist still typically uses traditional metal dental tools, making it necessary to visit a laser dentist. As a laser dentist in The Bronx, we can use lasers in the majority of our procedures to correct damage without causing irritation.

This is a common condition that you do not have to live with. Laser dentistry has revolutionized dental care to the point where procedures can be performed in a way that is so comfortable that you will barely notice you are having dental work done. We treat patients throughout the The Bronx area that no longer have concerns regarding dental care after experiencing how pleasant a laser dental treatment can be.</p>\n<a name=\"what-happens-during-laser-dentistry\"></a>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">Laser Dentistry Provides a Better Experience</h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>By performing laser dental treatments, we can eliminate the common reasons why people are uncomfortable during dental procedures – heat, pressure, and vibration. Once eliminated, many people do not even need anesthesia. That is why we can often complete fillings without our patients requesting an injection. Additionally, laser technology allows us to more accurately target specific areas of your mouth. The laser is incredibly thin so we can make precise incisions when necessary. We can even use lasers to correct issues like tooth decay. The difference is that the surrounding gum tissue is not impacted or irritated in any way. With traditional metal dental tools, a dentist may irritate the surrounding tissue with an accidental slip of the hand. By removing this risk, our patients can undergo the same dental procedures but with a faster recovery time. Simultaneously, our patients are more comfortable than if the procedure was performed in the traditional manner. For example, laser dental fillings achieve the same results but without the discomfort. Simultaneously, lasers can also be used to help stop the bleeding so that when a more intensive procedure is being performed, gauze may be unnecessary or only used temporarily. Patients can appreciate the opportunity to have dental work completed in this non-invasive way. If you would like to experience laser dentistry for yourself, we invite you to call <a title=\"Click to call University Dental Associates at 718-733-6600\" href=\"tel:+1-718-733-6600\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"CTC-Phone-Hyphens-0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">718-733-6600</a> and schedule an appointment.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</div><!-- /.main-service-content .section-block --><!-- /sContent mute -->\n\n<div class=\"call-out center-align bg-secondary\"><!-- sContent-Yelp -->\n<p id=\"yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our laser dentistry services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Laser Dentistry The Bronx\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Laser-Dentistry\">Laser Dentistry The Bronx</a></p>\n</div><!-- /.call-out --><!-- /sContent-Yelp -->\n\n<div class=\"main-service-content section-block\"><!-- sContent Background -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">Laser Gum Surgery</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Perhaps one of the most significant advances that gentle dentistry has made is associated with treating gum disease. This condition is so common that most adults will suffer from some form of gum disease in their lifetime. The symptoms typically start with red, swollen, and bleeding gums but if left untreated, it can lead to gum recession. Receding gums are particularly dangerous because more of the tooth and roots will become exposed and open for attack by bacteria. Many people suffer bone and tooth loss as a result. Treating gum disease, therefore, is critical for preserving your teeth as you age. The traditional method of treatment involves pulling the gums away from the tooth and using metal dental tools to scrape off the bacteria, plaque and tartar that has formed on the tooth but underneath the gums. This can be uncomfortable to say the least. Laser dentistry has completely changed the procedure. We offer periodontic care, and our patients can have their gum disease treated by using lasers to break up the plaque and tartar. This will remove the irritant that is causing the gum disease in the first place. Typically, the gums will then return to good health. Since this is a non-invasive procedure, our patients start to feel better right away. Not all dentists in the The Bronx area offer this new method of treating gum disease, making it important to visit a laser dentistry office.</p>\n<a name=\"how-does-laser-whitening-work\"></a>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">Laser Teeth Whitening</h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>At University Dental Associates, we can transform your ordinary smile into something truly beautiful. If you are tired of having yellow or stained teeth, you are not alone. In our high tech dental offices, we can perform an in-office whitening treatment with dramatic results. Your teeth can become eight shades whiter or more in a single sitting. The lasers essentially activate the whitening solution that is placed on your teeth. This means that your teeth will whiten much faster than if you treated them at home. While the results are stunning, the procedure is still entirely safe, making it an excellent solution for improving your appearance. You can also whiten your teeth using custom-made whitening trays, and while this works, it can take a week or two to achieve the same results that we can get in an hour. When trying to decide which option to select, consider how much time you have to spend whitening your teeth and whether or not you have an immediate event that you want your teeth whitened for. If you are pressed for time, you should definitely have an in-office laser whitening treatment. We can schedule you and improve your smile in time for a new job interview, family vacation, wedding, etc.</p>\n<a name=\"the-bronx-ny-laser-dentistry\"></a>\n<p>When you visit University Dental Associates, we will work to the best of our ability to provide you with the highest quality of dental care and do so in a way that is relaxing and comfortable. By offering laser dental treatments, we eliminate the vibration, heat and pressure that generally causes discomfort during dental procedures. In fact, we even offer fillings without the need to use a drill. <em>Laser dentistry</em> is used in our office so that we can achieve our goal of keeping you comfortable. The technology is continuing to change and improve so if there are procedures that we are still using traditional dental tools for, we expect all or most of them to eventually be done using lasers. For now, we have implemented the use of lasers in our procedures to place dental veneers, fillings, crowns, dental implants, to whiten teeth, and treat gum disease, among others. If you want to learn more about how we use laser technology currently, call University Dental Associates and schedule an appointment with our dental office.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</div><!-- /.main-service-content .section-block --><!-- /sContent Background -->\n<div class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary\"><!-- sContent secondary -->\n<h5 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Questions Answered on This Page</h5>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n\n\n\n<h5 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">People Also Ask</h5>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <a title=\"Q.
