Clear Aligner Orthodontics in Manhattan, NY
Straightening your teeth should feel seamless, discreet, and aligned with your lifestyle. At Paul L. Gregory, DDS, we provide advanced clear aligner solutions in Manhattan, NY, for patients who want effective results without the appearance or inconvenience of traditional metal braces.
While Invisalign is a well-known brand, it is just one type of clear aligner product. Located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, our practice offers modern alternatives like OrthoFX, ensuring our patients have access to the most efficient and aesthetic orthodontic technology available today.
OrthoFX
The Nighttime Alternative to Invisalign
For many busy New Yorkers, wearing aligners for 22 hours a day is a challenge. That’s why we are proud to offer OrthoFX, the premier alternative to Invisalign.
The primary advantage of OrthoFX NiTime™ aligners is that they are designed to be worn only at night. While traditional brands like Invisalign require nearly constant wear, OrthoFX allows you to:
- Straighten your teeth while you sleep.
- Go through your workday, meetings, and social events without any hardware in your mouth.
- Enjoy meals and coffee in Midtown without constantly removing and cleaning aligners.
