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.
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.
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:

If it turns out that Nu Smile is not exactly right for you, our team can still guide you on your next steps so you can get on the path to a healthier and straighter smile.
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.
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.
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.
