What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a series of custom-made, virtually invisible aligners that gradually move your teeth into the desired position. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are removable — so you can eat, drink, brush, and floss normally throughout treatment.

At Englewood Dentistry, both Dr. Ahmed and Dr. Sherzoy are experienced Invisalign providers. We also offer SureSmile as an alternative clear aligner option, depending on what's best for your case.

What Invisalign can correct

  • Crowded teeth and tight spacing
  • Gaps and uneven spacing
  • Overbite, underbite, and crossbite
  • Mild to moderate misalignment
  • Teen and adult orthodontic correction
  • Pre-cosmetic alignment before veneers or whitening

What to expect, step by step

Treatment typically takes 12–18 months, with new aligners every 1–2 weeks and check-ins every 6–8 weeks.

Are clear aligners right for you?

Invisalign and SureSmile can be strong options for adults and teens who want to improve crowding, spacing, or mild to moderate bite concerns without traditional metal braces. The best way to know is through an exam and digital scan, because gum health, bite forces, tooth shape, and how consistently you can wear aligners all affect the plan.

Many patients from Englewood, Teaneck, Tenafly, Fort Lee, Leonia, Hackensack, and Bergen County choose clear aligners because they want a discreet treatment that fits work, school, photos, and everyday life.

Invisalign vs. SureSmile

Both Invisalign and SureSmile use a series of clear removable aligners to move teeth gradually. The right choice depends on your bite, goals, timeline, and the treatment plan created after your scan. During your consultation, we explain the difference in plain language and recommend the system that makes the most sense for your smile.

Cost, insurance, and financing

Clear aligner cost depends on case complexity, treatment length, and whether retainers or additional refinements are needed. Many dental insurance plans include orthodontic benefits, and Englewood Dentistry offers financing options including CareCredit, Cherry, and Sunbit. Before treatment begins, we review your estimated cost and payment options clearly.

Common Questions

Invisalign, answered.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Most patients complete treatment in 12–18 months, though minor cases can finish in as little as 6 months. The exact timeline depends on the complexity of your case — we'll give you a clear estimate at your consultation.
Does insurance cover Invisalign?
Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of Invisalign treatment under orthodontic benefits. We'll check your coverage and walk you through what's covered before you begin. CareCredit, Cherry, and Sunbit financing are also available.
Is Invisalign painful?
Most patients describe mild pressure or tenderness for the first few days after switching to a new aligner — similar to braces but generally milder. The discomfort fades quickly as your teeth adjust.
Will Invisalign affect my speech?
There may be a brief adjustment period of a few days where you notice a slight lisp. Most patients fully adjust within a week and others can't even tell you're wearing aligners.
What if I lose an aligner?
Call us immediately — we'll help you decide whether to move on to the next aligner or order a replacement. Don't go without aligners for more than a day or two, as your teeth can shift back.
What is the difference between Invisalign and SureSmile?
Both use clear removable aligners. The best option depends on your scan, bite, goals, and treatment plan. We compare both when appropriate and explain which system fits your case.
Can I whiten my teeth during clear aligner treatment?
It is often best to discuss whitening timing with the dentist first. Some patients wait until alignment is complete so whitening and cosmetic planning can be coordinated.

A straighter smile starts with a conversation.
