Nu Smile Aligners for Teens – New Jersey

Skip the Braces and Choose Nu Smile Instead

Would you like to enjoy straighter teeth? The last thing you want is a mouth full of brackets and wires. They look bad in pictures, and they are super inconvenient. You might have thought about asking your parents if you could get Invisalign, SmileDirectClub, or Byte. Certainly, clear aligner systems have lots of advantages over traditional braces. But did you know that there is another treatment that deserves your consideration? Let’s talk about Nu Smile Aligner for teens in New Jersey.

How Do Nu Smile Aligners Work?

The Nu Smile system is similar to Invisalign. You visit one of our offices and have a consultation with Dr. G. Then, after we scan your teeth, we’ll create your aligners in our local New Jersey facility. You’ll wear each aligner for approximately 22 hours each day for two weeks or so. Once you work your way through all of your aligners, you’ll be free of your crooked teeth. Instead, you will have the straight, radiant smile that you’ve always wanted.

Nu Smile Aligners vs. Other Brands

Sure, Invisalign is the “big name” among clear aligner treatments, and DIY options like SmileDirectClub and Byte are becoming more and more popular. But Nu Smile outshines its competitors in several ways, including:

  • It is affordable. You (and your parents) will be pleased to learn that Nu Smile costs just $3,000 for start to finish treatment. That makes it the lowest-cost clear aligner option in our area. There is even a convenient monthly payment plan that makes it great for families on a budget.
  • It is local. Since Nu Smile Aligners come from right here in New Jersey, you won’t have to worry about waiting a long time for shipping.
  • It comes with the support of an experienced team. DIY options don’t provide you the peace of mind that comes from knowing you have the personalized care of an experienced, compassionate dental practice.
  • It uses the latest technology. Nu Smile uses digital tooth scans and advanced 3D printing — there are no goopy manual impressions, and the aligners are designed for a precise fit.

Why Is Nu Smile Perfect for Teens?

  • Easy oral hygiene. You can brush and floss your teeth normally with Nu Smile — no complicated flossers or other special tools are necessary.
  • It’s no problem to replace aligners. We get it. You’re busy, and sometimes things happen. If you ever accidentally lose an aligner or damage one, just give us a call. If necessary, we’ll replace it ASAP.
  • Appointments are quick. Your Nu Smile checkup appointments are very brief. We even have evening and weekend slots available at most of our locations, so you won’t have to worry about missing school or extracurricular activities.

What Do Nu Smile Aligners for Teens Look Like?

The aligners are made of thin, clear plastic. While they do not completely disappear when they are on the teeth, they do have a subtle appearance. In fact, they are much less noticeable than traditional metal braces. You should be able to smile and laugh with confidence whether you are speaking in front of your class, taking selfies with friends, or even attending special events.

If you need to use any accessories with your aligners, they will not be clear. However, they might not be readily visible because they are usually used toward the back of the mouth.

How Long Does the Treatment Take?

The average treatment time is about 12 months. However, you may need to wear your aligners for a longer or shorter period of time. It depends on the extent of your dental misalignment, how well you comply with treatment instructions, and other factors. When you attend your consultation, our team can give you a rough estimate as to how long your treatment will take from beginning to end.

What Should I Do if I Break or Lose One or My Aligners?

Do not try to fix a broken aligner on your own with superglue or other household materials. If you cannot locate one of your aligners, try looking in the garbage (some people accidentally throw theirs away), under furniture, and in your school bag.

Of course, you should call us if one of your aligners becomes unusable due to damage or loss. We might advise you to wear a previous aligner while we create a new aligner to replace the one that is no longer usable. Or, we might recommend that you move onto your next aligner a few days earlier than originally planned.
