The Clear Alternative to Braces
Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth without the need for metal brackets and wires. At Sunnyside Dental in Queens, Dr. Tatyana Yapport is a PREFERRED INVISALIGN provider with extensive experience in this innovative technology.
Each set of custom-made aligners is designed to make small adjustments to the position of your teeth according to your personalized treatment plan. You'll wear each set for about 1-2 weeks before progressing to the next set in the series. Over time, these incremental changes will move your teeth into their desired positions, resulting in a beautifully aligned smile.

The Invisalign Process at Sunnyside Dental
Dr. Yapport follows a comprehensive approach to ensure successful Invisalign treatment
Initial Consultation
Your Invisalign journey begins with a thorough examination and discussion of your smile goals. Dr. Yapport will evaluate your teeth, gums, and bite to determine if Invisalign is right for you. We'll take photographs, X-rays, and impressions or digital scans of your teeth to create a precise 3D model of your mouth.
Customized Treatment Plan
Using Invisalign's advanced ClinCheck® software, Dr. Yapport will create a detailed treatment plan that maps out the exact movements of your teeth. You'll be able to preview your new smile and see a virtual representation of how your teeth will move with each set of aligners, from start to finish.
Receiving Your Aligners
Once your custom aligners are fabricated, you'll return to our Sunnyside office to receive your first few sets. Dr. Yapport will ensure they fit properly and provide detailed instructions on how to wear and care for them. For optimal results, you should wear your aligners for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
Progress Monitoring
You'll visit our Queens office approximately every 6-8 weeks so Dr. Yapport can monitor your progress and provide you with new sets of aligners. These check-ups are brief but essential to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned. Once your treatment is complete, you'll receive retainers to maintain your beautiful new smile.
Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign
Find answers to common questions about our Invisalign procedures in Sunnyside
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case and the specific issues being addressed. On average, Invisalign Full treatment takes about 12-18 months, while Invisalign Express can be completed in as little as 6 months for minor corrections. During your consultation at our Sunnyside office, Dr. Yapport will evaluate your specific needs and provide a more accurate timeline for your individual treatment plan.
Invisalign is generally less painful than traditional braces. You may experience some discomfort or pressure for a few days when you start wearing a new set of aligners, as this indicates the aligners are working to move your teeth. This mild discomfort typically subsides within a few days as your mouth adjusts to the new aligners. The smooth plastic design of Invisalign aligners also eliminates the irritation to cheeks and gums often caused by metal brackets and wires.
Proper cleaning of your Invisalign aligners is essential for maintaining good oral hygiene and preventing discoloration. Clean your aligners daily by gently brushing them with a soft toothbrush and clear, antibacterial soap or Invisalign cleaning crystals. Avoid using toothpaste, as it can be abrasive and scratch the aligners, making them more visible. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water (not hot, as it can warp the plastic). When not wearing your aligners, store them in their protective case to prevent damage or loss.
One of the advantages of Invisalign is that you can remove the aligners for eating and drinking, allowing you to enjoy all your favorite foods without restrictions. You should remove your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water to prevent staining and damage to the aligners. After eating, brush your teeth before reinserting your aligners to maintain good oral hygiene and prevent food particles from becoming trapped between your teeth and the aligners.
The cost of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case, the specific type of Invisalign treatment (Full, Express, or Teen), and the duration of treatment. At Sunnyside Dental, we offer flexible financing options to help make Invisalign more affordable. Many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign. Our office staff will work with you to maximize your insurance benefits and find a payment plan that fits your budget. We believe everyone deserves a beautiful smile, and we're committed to making that possible.
