Improving your smile’s appearance is easier than ever with discreet, clear aligners. At Chappaqua Dentistry, a trusted dental office in Westchester County, NY, patients can choose Invisalign® or ClearCorrect® to align their teeth comfortably—without metal brackets or wires. Each treatment is customized and guided by prosthodontist Dr. Steven A. Brisman, DMD, whose restorative expertise ensures your results look beautiful, function properly, and last for years to come.

Confident Smiles Start Here

Clear aligners provide a modern way to straighten teeth while maintaining your daily comfort and appearance. As an aesthetic dentistry practice, we combine advanced technology and careful planning to help patients achieve beautiful, natural-looking smiles through Invisalign® and ClearCorrect®.

Benefits of clear aligners include:

  • Nearly invisible trays that blend into your smile
  • Smooth, comfortable wear with no metal wires or brackets
  • Easy removal for meals and brushing
  • Better oral hygiene and easier cleaning
  • Predictable digital treatment planning for precision results

Both Invisalign® and ClearCorrect® are designed to fit your lifestyle—delivering a straighter, healthier smile with minimal disruption to your routine.

Invisalign® vs. ClearCorrect®: Understanding Your Options

Both Invisalign® and ClearCorrect® use a series of custom-fit, transparent trays that gently move teeth into ideal alignment. While they share similarities, each system has subtle distinctions that may make one a better fit for your needs.

How They’re Similar

Each aligner system works through progressive tooth movement, achieved by switching to a new set of trays every few weeks.

Both systems offer:

  • Discreet, transparent appearance
  • Removable trays for meals and cleaning
  • Fewer in-office adjustments than traditional braces
  • 3D digital scans and personalized planning
  • Retainers to preserve your results after treatment

Key Differences to Consider

Although both options are effective, specific details—such as materials and design—distinguish them.

  • Tray Composition: Invisalign® uses a multi-layer SmartTrack® material known for its flexibility and comfort, while ClearCorrect® aligners have a slightly thinner design that some patients prefer.
  • Trim and Fit: Invisalign® aligners typically extend to the gumline for a snug fit; ClearCorrect® aligners often have a scalloped trim for a lighter feel.
  • Treatment Flexibility: Both treat mild to moderate crowding or spacing, though Invisalign® may offer more extensive customization for complex movements.

During your consultation, we’ll help you choose the system that best suits your goals and lifestyle.

Why Choose a Prosthodontist for Invisalign®

While many dental offices provide clear aligners, treatment planned by a prosthodontist offers distinct advantages. Prosthodontists are experts in rebuilding and enhancing smiles—balancing aesthetics, bite alignment, and long-term stability.

Alignment Integrated With Restorative Goals

Dr. Brisman and his team design clear aligner treatments that align with restorative and aesthetic goals. For patients planning to receive veneers, crowns, implants, or bridges, tooth movement is carefully sequenced to ensure ideal spacing and symmetry. This approach preserves natural tooth structure and enhances long-term results.

Occlusion (Bite) and Function Matter

The way your teeth come together, known as occlusion, directly affects comfort and longevity. Prosthodontists have advanced training in functional bite design, ensuring that your aligners not only improve your smile’s appearance but also optimize the way your teeth fit together—reducing wear and potential relapse.

Expertise for Complex Cases

If you have worn teeth, missing teeth, or existing restorations, prosthodontic oversight is essential. At Chappaqua Dentistry, Dr. Brisman integrates Invisalign® and ClearCorrect® treatment with other restorative procedures, creating comprehensive, predictable outcomes.

This level of coordination means your orthodontic results support your bite, jaw health, and future dental work.

Our Clear Aligner Process

Every clear aligner treatment at our practice follows a proven, technology-driven workflow. From digital impressions to precise fit checks, we focus on comfort and efficiency.

1) Consultation and Digital Records

Your journey begins with a consultation, photos, and digital scans. These 3D images enable us to evaluate your teeth and bite accurately, ensuring a custom fit and a detailed treatment plan.

2) Personalized Treatment Plan

We use advanced software to simulate your tooth movement, allowing you to preview your future smile. You’ll see the step-by-step transformation before treatment even begins.

3) Aligner Delivery and Wear Schedule

Once your aligners are ready, we’ll confirm fit and comfort, then provide instructions for daily wear. Most patients wear aligners 20–22 hours per day, switching trays every one to two weeks.

4) Progress Checks and Refinements

You’ll return periodically for progress checks. Thanks to our in-house On-The-Mark Dental Laboratory, adjustments and refinements are made quickly, reducing downtime and ensuring consistent progress.

5) Retention and Maintenance

After active treatment, you’ll wear custom retainers to maintain your results. These retainers protect your new alignment and help ensure lasting stability.

Everyday Benefits of Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are designed to fit seamlessly into your everyday life. Patients often say that they quickly forget they’re wearing them.

You’ll appreciate:

  • A discreet appearance at work or social events
  • No food restrictions—just remove your trays when eating
  • Easier brushing and flossing for better oral hygiene
  • Minimal discomfort during tooth movement
  • Fewer emergency visits compared to traditional braces

These advantages make clear aligners an ideal choice for busy adults and teens who want convenience and confidence throughout treatment.

Advanced Technology and On-Site Lab Efficiency

Our on-site lab and digital workflow provide us with a unique advantage in terms of quality and turnaround times.

  • Digital Scanning: Precise 3D scans capture your smile comfortably, eliminating the need for messy impressions.
  • 3D Planning: We map out every stage of movement to ensure predictability and precision.
  • On-Site Lab Collaboration: Our On-The-Mark Dental Laboratory allows for faster adjustments, refinements, and retainers—all fabricated with accuracy and attention to detail.
  • Comfort-Focused Care: Every aligner is designed for a snug, secure fit for the most comfortable experience possible.

This combination of technology and collaboration ensures that every smile is handled with precision from start to finish.

Am I a Candidate for Invisalign® or ClearCorrect®?

Most patients with mild to moderate misalignment, crowding, or spacing can benefit from clear aligners. Even more complex cases can often be addressed with prosthodontist-guided planning.

Ideal candidates:

  • Have healthy gums and teeth
  • Are committed to wearing aligners as instructed
  • Want a discreet, flexible treatment option
  • May be combining orthodontic care with restorative treatments

If you’re unsure whether you qualify, a consultation with Dr. Brisman will provide clarity and confidence in your options.

Some cases require small, tooth-colored attachments to help aligners move teeth more efficiently. These are temporary, comfortable, and barely visible when worn.

After completing treatment, you’ll wear retainers to keep your teeth in their new positions. Over time, most patients transition to nighttime-only wear to maintain their results.
