Is Gum Contouring Right for You?

Gum contouring is a perfect solution for patients who are unhappy with the proportions of their smile. You are an ideal candidate if you experience: A gummy smile where too much gum tissue shows when you smile, short-looking teeth that are of normal length but appear short because they are covered by excess gum tissue, or an uneven gum line where your gum line is asymmetrical, making your teeth appear to be different sizes.

Do Crooked Teeth or Gaps Make You Hesitate to Smile?

You deserve to feel confident in every photo and every conversation. However, for many adults and teens in Staten Island, the desire for a straighter smile is outweighed by the dread of traditional metal braces. The thought of wires, brackets, and a mouth full of metal can feel like a barrier to the smile you want.

You shouldn't have to choose between a beautiful smile and your professional appearance or comfort. At Sola Dental Spa, we bridge that gap with a modern, discreet solution designed for your lifestyle.

Invisalign®: The Invisible Way to Straighten Your Teeth

Invisalign® takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable, and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements Dr. Anne Gershkowitz plans for you.

There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You just pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete.

Virtually Invisible: Most people won't even notice you are wearing them, allowing you to maintain your professional image.
Removable Convenience: Take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss. There are no forbidden foods.
Superior Comfort: The smooth SmartTrack® material eliminates the cheek and gum irritation associated with metal wires.
Time-Efficient: With no wires to adjust, you will spend less time in the dental chair and more time enjoying your life.
Predictable Results: We use advanced 3D imaging to map out your entire treatment plan before you even start.

What to Expect: Your Journey to a Perfect Smile

We have refined the orthodontic process to match the relaxing, spa-like atmosphere of our clinic. Here is how we transform your smile:

1. The Consultation & 3D Scan

Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Gershkowitz. We discuss your smile goals and use an iTero® digital scanner to create a precise 3D digital image of your teeth. No messy putty molds required. You will even get to preview your new smile on screen before treatment begins.

2. Custom Fabrication

Your custom aligners are fabricated using industry-leading technology. Each set is designed to move your teeth slightly, moving them horizontally and vertically and even rotating them when needed.

3. Living with Invisalign

You will wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day for the best results, removing them only to eat and clean your teeth. Every one to two weeks, you will switch to the next set of aligners in the series. We will schedule brief check-ups every 6-8 weeks to ensure your progress is on track.

4. Reveal Your Smile

Once you have finished your series of aligners, you will have the straight, confident smile you have always wanted. We will provide retainers to ensure your beautiful new smile lasts a lifetime.

What Can Invisalign Fix?

Invisalign is a powerful and versatile treatment capable of correcting many of the most common orthodontic issues. Dr. Gershkowitz uses this advanced technology to create personalized treatment plans for:

Crowded Teeth: When there isn’t enough space in your jaw for teeth to fit normally, causing them to bunch up or overlap.
Gapped Teeth: Unwanted extra spaces between teeth, which can be a cosmetic concern and a trap for food particles.
Overbite: When the upper front teeth close too far over the lower front teeth.
Underbite: When the lower front teeth protrude past the upper front teeth.
Crossbite: When some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth rather than on the outside.
Open Bite: When the upper and lower teeth don’t make contact when the mouth is closed, which can cause issues with chewing.
