Digital planning with Dr. Ahmed

Our 3D digital scanner captures detailed impressions of your teeth to support treatment planning. Reviewing the digital images together helps us explain your options and plan care around your smile. Scanning can make the impression process more comfortable; additional imaging may be needed for your treatment.

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, Dr. Ahmed is an experienced Invisalign® provider. 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

Your treatment length, aligner-change schedule, and review appointments depend on the movements planned and how your teeth respond. Dr. Ahmed explains the proposed schedule before you begin and checks progress along the way.

Consultation

An examination to assess your bite, dental health, and goals.

Digital Scan

Digital records help us explain the proposed tooth movements. A preview is a planning aid, not a guaranteed result.

Wear Aligners

Wear and change your aligners as prescribed, with appointments to check progress.

Reveal & Retain

Review your result and follow an individualized retainer plan to help maintain alignment.

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.

Invisalign® costs, insurance, and payment options

Your personalized estimate reflects the movements planned, treatment length, visits, and any refinements or retainers included. Ask what is covered in the plan before you begin. Insurance benefits vary, and financing through Cherry, CareCredit, or Sunbit is subject to approval and provider terms.

No dental insurance? We offer an in-house membership plan. Call (201) 541-8111 for details.

Living with aligners and protecting your result

Daily wear is part of the treatment. Remove aligners for meals and oral hygiene, and follow the cleaning instructions for your trays. Contact us about a lost aligner or one that stops fitting; changing stages yourself can interrupt the plan. Once active treatment ends, an individualized retainer plan helps maintain your new tooth positions.

Alignment can involve temporary discomfort, changes to the bite, and additional refinements. Healthy gums and consistent brushing and cleaning between teeth remain essential throughout treatment.

Related cosmetic treatments

Clear aligners can be part of a larger smile plan. Some patients combine alignment with teeth whitening, veneers, or a smile makeover. If you are comparing payment options, visit our financial information page.

Common Questions

Invisalign®, answered.

How long does Invisalign® treatment take?
Your timeline depends on the tooth movements planned, your response to treatment, and how consistently you follow wear instructions. Dr. Ahmed gives an estimate after evaluating your teeth and bite and checks progress during treatment.
Does insurance cover Invisalign®?
Some plans include clear aligners under orthodontic benefits; others exclude them or apply age limits, waiting periods, or lifetime limits. We can help review your benefits before treatment. Financing through Cherry, CareCredit, or Sunbit is subject to approval and provider terms.
Is Invisalign® painful?
Temporary pressure or tenderness can occur when starting a new aligner. Contact us if discomfort is significant or an aligner does not fit properly. We will advise you based on your treatment plan.
Will Invisalign® affect my speech?
Some people notice temporary speech changes while getting used to their aligners. The adjustment period varies. Let us know if you have an ongoing concern.
What if I lose an aligner?
Contact our office promptly for instructions. We will advise whether you should use a previous aligner, move to another stage, or obtain a replacement. Do not change your treatment sequence without guidance.
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.
How much does Invisalign® treatment cost in Englewood?
Your estimate depends on the tooth movements, treatment length, and the visits, refinements, and retainers included in your plan. After an examination, we explain your recommended care and provide a personalized estimate.
Can adults and teens have Invisalign® treatment?
Clear aligners may be suitable for adults and teens with appropriate dental health and a bite that can be treated with aligners. Dr. Ahmed assesses the movements needed and whether you can follow the wear routine. Some cases need another orthodontic approach.
How often do I need to wear my aligners?
Wear your aligners for the daily hours prescribed by Dr. Ahmed and change them only on the instructed schedule. Remove them for meals, drinks other than plain water, and oral hygiene. Inconsistent wear can affect progress and fit.
Will I need retainers after Invisalign®?
Yes. Retainers help maintain tooth positions after active treatment. Your wear schedule is individualized, and long-term use is generally needed. Contact the office if a retainer is damaged, lost, or no longer fits; do not force it into place.
