What is Invisalign?
Invisalign® is an advanced alignment system that uses clear, removable trays to guide teeth into more balanced, functional positions without brackets or wires. In our Fifth Avenue dental practice Invisalign is used not just for straighter teeth, but to improve how the entire bite functions—supporting the jaw joints, protecting existing dental work, and enhancing overall harmony.
The process begins with a detailed digital scan that maps the planned movement of each tooth. This allows for controlled, predictable changes that can address crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites while supporting long-term oral health. Because the aligners are removable, patients can maintain excellent hygiene and move through daily life with ease.
Dr. Karina Zaygermakher, our Invisalign practitioner, designs every treatment plan individually—focusing on bite balance, joint stability, and results that look and feel natural. For many patients across Manhattan, Invisalign offers a discreet, effective way to improve function and appearance without the limitations of metal braces.
Meet Our Invisalign Specialist
Dr. Karina Zaygermakher has over 16 years of experience in orthodontics and Invisalign treatment, with a particular focus on how alignment supports long-term oral health and bite function, including addressing open bites, TMJ-related strain, spacing needs for future implants, and improving gum contours. She approaches each case with the eye of both a clinician and an artist, studying how tooth position influences balance, proportion, and the overall expression of a smile. Invisalign is one of the parts of dentistry she enjoys most—its combination of digital planning and artistic judgment allows her to create results that are structurally sound and visually harmonious.
Signs You May Need Invisalign
You may benefit from Invisalign treatment if you experience:
Crowded or misaligned teeth that make cleaning difficult or lead to plaque buildup and inflammation
Bite imbalances such as overbite, underbite, or crossbite that strain the jaw joints or cause uneven tooth wear
Spaces or gaps that collect food and affect the stability of neighboring teeth
Teeth that don't meet evenly, leading to sensitivity, chipping, or difficulty chewing
Jaw tension, clenching, or TMJ discomfort connected to misalignment or an unstable bite
Previous dental work at risk—crowns, veneers, or fillings that are wearing down due to an uneven bite
A shifting smile after earlier orthodontic treatment, often caused by not wearing retainers
How Much Does Invisalign Cost?
The cost of Invisalign in Manhattan can vary depending on several important factors:
Treatment Complexity
More complex cases, such as severe crowding or bite correction, may require longer treatment and additional aligners.
Length of Treatment
The number of aligner trays and total duration can influence the overall cost.
Invisalign vs. Metal Braces
Invisalign is often more discreet and comfortable than metal braces, but pricing differs from traditional braces in NYC.
Insurance and Payment Plans
Some dental insurance plans partially cover Invisalign when deemed medically necessary.
Most patients in NYC pay between $6,500 – $10,000 for Invisalign treatment. The mini cases vary around $3,500 depending on the case. Flexible payment options can help reduce out-of-pocket expenses.
At Rossinski Dental Health, located on Fifth Avenue, we make Invisalign more affordable by offering:
Flexible payment plans and financing
Insurance assistance (in some cases, when allowed)
Transparent pricing for orthodontic and cosmetic dentistry services
Our team will guide you through your treatment plan, explain how Invisalign uses advanced technology, and ensure your results support both confidence and lasting oral hygiene. Many of our Invisalign patients come from West Village, Soho, Tribeca, Fifth Avenue, and nearby neighborhoods.
The Invisalign Process at Dr. Rossinski Dental Health
At Dr. Rossinski Dental Health, the Invisalign process is organized around a clear plan with defined goals at each stage. The focus is on improving function, protecting existing dental work, and bringing the bite into better balance—not simply straightening teeth.
Initial Consultation
We start with a full examination, digital 3D-scan, and bite analysis to understand how your teeth and joints are working together. This allows us to determine whether Invisalign can address your alignment and functional needs effectively.
Treatment Planning
We use iTero digital scans to map the exact movements each tooth needs. This planning stage defines how your aligners are designed, whether the goal is bite correction, spacing changes, or addressing more complex functional issues.
Wearing Your Aligners
Your custom aligners are worn daily and changed every 1–2 weeks to follow the planned tooth movements. Their removable design lets you maintain excellent oral hygiene and continue your usual routines without the limitations of fixed braces.
Follow-Up and Results
Scheduled visits help us track the way your teeth and bite are responding throughout treatment. Vivera Retainers are suggested once alignment is complete to keep the results steady. For patients needing implants or other restorative care, Invisalign can be coordinated to create proper spacing and support a more functional final outcome.
With insurance support and flexible financing, we also help maximize your dental insurance benefits, making Invisalign accessible to patients throughout such Manhattan neighborhoods as Greenwich Village, West Village, Soho, Tribeca, Fifth Avenue, Washington Square and Union Square surrounding areas.
Our Advanced Dental Technology and Techniques
At Dr. Rossinski Dental Health, we use advanced digital tools to understand how your teeth, bite, and joints work together. This allows us to design Invisalign plans that respect biology, protect existing dental work, and guide tooth movement with clarity and intention.
iTero 3D Scanning – high-resolution 3D scans replace traditional impressions and allow for precise mapping of tooth position, bite relationships, and planned movements
Digital Bite + Joint Analysis (Occlusal Evaluation) - especially relevant for TMJ, clenching, grinding, and patients needing functional improvement
Saliva Microbiome Testing (Bristle) -
identifies inflammation, pathogenic bacteria, and susceptibility to gum issues; helps ensure the mouth is in a stable, healthy state before moving teeth.
Ozone Therapy for Pre-Invisalign Oral Health Optimization
Invisalign ClinCheck® Digital Treatment Planning - advanced 3D modeling that lets Dr. Karina design tooth movements step-by-step, refine staging, protect existing dental work, and ensure movements support the bite.
Laser Therapy - tissue support & aligner fit - soft-tissue laser can be used to improve gum contours, manage inflammation, enhance healing, and optimize the foundation before/through the treatment
Photobiomodulation (PBM) for comfort & healing - PBM can support tissue recovery, lower inflammation, and may help ease jaw muscle tension — beneficial for patients adapting to bite changes
Flexible Payment and Financing Options
Invisalign is a well-structured, phased treatment. Fees are typically divided into monthly payments that align with the length of your treatment plan. Most Invisalign cases take between 12 and 18 months, depending on complexity. Before treatment begins, a 15–20% down payment is required, with the remaining balance distributed evenly over the course of treatment.
This structure allows patients to move forward comfortably while keeping payments predictable and aligned with clinical progress. Our team will review your personalized treatment plan, timeline, and monthly payment breakdown with you before you begin. Financing options, including CareCredit, are available.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
01
How does Invisalign treatment
work?
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear aligners that gently move teeth into place. These aligners are made to fit your smile and can be removed at any time for meals or cleaning.
02
Are clear braces or Invisalign® better for me?
Clear braces use metal brackets and wires, while Invisalign® is nearly invisible and removable. Invisalign allows you to smile without worry, while braces may feel restrictive and are not removable throughout the length of the treatment.
03
How effective is the Invisalign system compared to traditional braces?
The Invisalign system is a proven alternative to metal brackets and braces. It effectively addresses tooth alignment, teeth crowding, and spacing issues, often with more comfort and flexibility compared to traditional braces.
04
What are the benefits of choosing an Invisalign provider in West Village?
Dr. Karina Zaygermakher has over 16 years of experience in changing people's lives with Invisalign. While consistent aligner wear depends on the patient, regular check-ins allow Dr. Zaygermakher to monitor progress, ensure predictability, and maintain long-term stability throughout and after the treatment.
05
Can an orthodontist help me decide if Invisalign is right?
Yes, Dr. Zaygermakher and Dr. Rossinski can evaluate your teeth and determine if Invisalign suits your needs. They may recommend Invisalign to fix mild to moderate teeth crowding and spacing issues, address open bites, TMJ-related strain, spacing needs for future implants, and improving gum contours.
06
How long does it take Invisalign to straighten my teeth?
Most patients see results within 6–18 months with Invisalign. You’ll change to the next aligner every one to two weeks, wearing them 20–22 hours per day to achieve lasting straight teeth.
07
What is Invisalign Mini?
Invisalign Mini, often called Invisalign Lite, is a faster, simpler version of traditional Invisalign designed for minor orthodontic fixes like small gaps, slight crowding, or relapse after previous treatment, using fewer aligners (around 10-15) for quicker results (around 6 months) compared to full Invisalign. It's a "mini-makeover" for minor smile issues, perfect for those needing only small adjustments to front teeth or mild spacing, not complex bite problems.
08
Is Invisalign more comfortable than traditional braces?
Yes, Invisalign is more comfortable because the aligners are made of smooth plastic, without the irritation from metal brackets. They are also removable, so you can brush and floss your teeth easily during treatment.
09
Can Invisalign be combined with other treatments like cosmetic dentistry?
Yes, Invisalign can be combined with cosmetic dentistry or even restorative procedures. It helps prepare your teeth for dental implants or veneers by improving tooth alignment, making restorative work more precise.
