Benefits of Clear Aligners Over Traditional Braces
Invisalign clear aligners offer several advantages that make them a popular choice for adults and older teens:
- Nearly invisible — Clear aligners are designed to be discreet, so most people will not notice you are wearing them.
- Removable — You can take your aligners out to eat, brush, and floss, which helps you maintain better oral hygiene throughout treatment.
- Comfortable fit — Smooth plastic aligners eliminate the irritation that metal brackets and wires can cause to your cheeks and gums.
- Fewer office visits — Invisalign typically requires fewer in-office adjustments compared to traditional braces, saving you time.

Advanced Technology for Precise Treatment
Dr. Shah uses the iTero digital scanner to capture a detailed 3D image of your teeth — no messy putty impressions required. This digital scan allows her to map your entire treatment from start to finish, so you can see a preview of how your smile may look after treatment before you even begin. The precision of 3D treatment planning helps ensure each set of aligners fits accurately and moves your teeth according to plan.
Invisalign vs. Veneers: Which Is Right for Your Smile
Patients who want to improve the appearance of their smile sometimes wonder whether Invisalign or veneers would be the better option. The answer depends on what you are looking to address.
Invisalign is designed to correct the position of your teeth — straightening crowding, closing gaps, and improving your bite. It changes the alignment of your natural teeth over time.
Veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth. They can address cosmetic concerns like chips, stains, and minor size or shape irregularities, but they do not change the position of your teeth.
In some cases, patients benefit from both: Invisalign first to achieve proper alignment, followed by veneers for cosmetic refinement. During your consultation, Dr. Shah will evaluate your teeth and help you understand which approach — or combination — is best suited to your goals.
What to Expect During Invisalign Treatment
Understanding the treatment process helps you feel prepared and confident. Here is what a typical Invisalign journey looks like at Premier Arts Dental.
Your Initial Consultation and Digital Scan
Your first visit begins with a thorough exam and a conversation about what you would like to achieve. Dr. Shah will assess your teeth, bite, and overall oral health to determine whether Invisalign is a good option for you. If it is, she will use the iTero scanner to create a precise digital impression of your teeth and develop your customized treatment plan. You will be able to see a projected timeline and a digital preview of your expected results.
Wearing Your Aligners and Treatment Timeline
Once your custom aligners are ready, you will receive your first sets along with detailed instructions. You will wear each set of aligners for approximately one to two weeks before switching to the next set in the series. For the best results, aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day — removing them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing your teeth. Most treatment plans range from 6 to 18 months depending on the complexity of your case.
Monitoring Your Progress
Dr. Shah will schedule periodic check-in appointments to monitor how your teeth are responding and ensure everything is progressing as planned. These visits are typically brief and less frequent than traditional braces adjustments. If you have questions between visits, our team is always available to help.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Invisalign
Invisalign is designed to treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including:
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- General misalignment
Good candidates are typically adults and teens whose permanent teeth have fully erupted. Patients who are committed to wearing their aligners consistently throughout the day tend to see the best results. During your consultation, Dr. Shah will let you know whether Invisalign is the right fit or whether an alternative approach may serve you better.
What Happens When Misalignment Goes Untreated
Crooked or misaligned teeth are not only a cosmetic concern. When teeth do not fit together properly, it can lead to uneven wear, difficulty cleaning between teeth, and a higher risk of cavities and gum disease over time. Bite misalignment may also contribute to jaw discomfort or headaches. Addressing these issues with orthodontic treatment may help protect your long-term oral health.
Invisalign Cost, Insurance, and Financing Options
The cost of invisalign freehold nj treatment varies based on the complexity and length of your individual plan. During your consultation, Dr. Shah will provide a clear estimate so you know what to expect before committing to treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Invisalign
For additional questions and detailed answers, visit our dedicated Invisalign FAQ page.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Most Invisalign treatment plans at Premier Arts Dental take between 6 and 18 months, depending on the complexity of your case. Mild crowding or spacing may resolve in as little as six months, while more involved corrections may take longer. Dr. Shah will provide a personalized timeline during your consultation based on your iTero digital scan.
Does insurance cover Invisalign in Freehold, NJ?
Many dental insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits may cover a portion of Invisalign treatment. Premier Arts Dental accepts major insurance providers including Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental, Guardian, Horizon, MetLife, and UnitedHealthcare. Our team will review your specific plan and explain your coverage before treatment begins.
Is Invisalign painful?
Most patients experience mild pressure or tightness when they switch to a new set of aligners, which typically subsides within a day or two. This sensation is a sign that your teeth are moving as planned. Invisalign aligners have smooth edges and no metal brackets or wires, so they tend to be more comfortable than traditional braces.
Can I eat and drink normally with Invisalign?
Yes. Because Invisalign aligners are removable, you can take them out before meals and snacks and eat whatever you enjoy. Simply brush your teeth before placing the aligners back in. You should avoid drinking anything other than water while wearing your aligners to prevent staining.
How is Invisalign different from mail-order aligners?
Invisalign treatment at Premier Arts Dental includes in-person exams, digital imaging, and ongoing monitoring by Dr. Shah throughout your entire treatment. Mail-order aligners typically rely on at-home impressions and remote oversight, which may not catch complications early. Having a certified provider supervise your care helps ensure your teeth move safely and predictably.
