Teeth can shift over time, even after previous orthodontic treatment. Invisalign clear aligners can help straighten your smile without metal brackets or wires. At Tribeca North Dentistry, we make the process simple, from understanding your treatment plan to exploring ways to manage the cost.
We check your teeth, bite, and jaw alignment, discuss your smile goals, and determine whether Invisalign is suitable for you.
A digital scan creates a detailed model of your teeth without messy impressions. It also helps us plan how your smile may change during treatment.
We explain your expected treatment timeline, the number of aligners you may need, and how often you will switch trays.
Invisalign costs vary based on case complexity and treatment length. We review applicable insurance benefits, eligible HSA or FSA funds, and available monthly payment options so you can plan ahead.

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, nearly invisible aligners to gradually move teeth into better positions. Most patients wear their trays for 20–22 hours daily and change sets as directed.

I have been coming to Dr. Ta since I was 5 years old. I am back for Invisalign as an adult and I couldn’t be happier. I never want to stop seeing her! There is no one kinder or more knowledgeable! I highly recommend using her as your orthodontist!
I had such a wonderful experience at Tribeca North Dentistry. I was slightly nervous about using Invisalign and rubber bands but Dr.Ta did a great job educating me on why this was necessary to fix my teeth. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone who is looking to get Invisalign. Thank you Dr.Ta, I love my smile!
Dr. Ta really knows what she is doing! Due to bad experiences with other orthodontists in the past/as a teenager, I was really nervous about needing adult braces. Luckily, Dr. Ta is super understanding/patient and knowledgable/skilled. I can't recommend her enough! Everyone in both of the Tribeca North offices is super nice, too, and scheduling has always been easy.
My teeth look so much better now thanks to Dr Tar. Dr Tar really cares about my teeth and she has started caring for my teeth since I was 11 and has done a great job. She is very attentive and I enjoy my visits.
