What is the procedure like?

The Invisalign process with Dr. Eidelson at our Center City Philadelphia cosmetic dentist practice is thorough and patient-focused, involving several key stages:

01.

Consultation & Planning

You’ll have a consultation with your dentist, who assesses your teeth and discusses the suitability of Invisalign for your case. This includes taking digital scans or impressions of your teeth.

02.

Custom Aligner Fabrication

Based on the initial assessment, a series of custom-made clear aligners are created to fit your teeth precisely.

03.

Treatment and Follow-ups

You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, with regular check-ups every six to eight weeks to monitor progress and receive the next set of aligners.

Invisalign in Philadelphia vs Traditional Braces

Traditional braces and Invisalign both aim to straighten teeth, but they differ in appearance and functionality. Traditional braces, made of metal brackets and wires, are fixed to the teeth and visible. They are effective for complex dental issues but can be uncomfortable and challenging to clean. Invisalign, on the other hand, uses clear, removable aligners, offering a more discreet look. They are generally more comfortable and allow for easier dental hygiene but might be less effective for severe alignment issues. The choice between the two depends on individual needs, preferences, and the specific dental condition being addressed.

Happy Patients

“Dr Eidelson is the absolute best. One of my Veneers broke from my overbite and last minute on a Friday and holiday weekend, stopped his plans and met me at the office in 1 hour. He made sure I was comfortable, and fixed my tooth with no problem at all. He is very caring and goes above and beyond for me every visit. He worries almost as if they are his own teeth and I could not ask for a better dentist!!!”

Since then he has been my primary dentist and has consistently provided extraordinary care. In addition to ongoing routine maintenance, Dr Eidolson has transformed my entire smile to absolute perfection using state of the art procedures and veneers.
