Invisalign is one of the most requested treatments, and one that Dr. Jared Shore has significant experience delivering. Clear, removable aligners gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment without the visibility or discomfort of traditional braces, making Invisalign an excellent option for adults and teens who want results without the hardware. We excel in faster results with minimal visits.
Dr. Shore’s approach to Invisalign is the same as his approach to all care: thorough, honest, and built around what is right for the individual patient. Before recommending Invisalign, he will evaluate your bite, your alignment concerns, and the overall health of your teeth and gums. If Invisalign is the right fit, he will walk you through exactly what treatment involves, how long it is likely to take, and what you can expect from the result.
Starting orthodontic treatment as an adult can feel like a significant decision, and we want you to feel fully at ease from the moment you walk in. Our office is designed for unhurried, comfortable appointments, with a team that takes your questions seriously and a dentist who will not move forward until you are genuinely ready. Invisalign consultations are thorough, pressure-free, and always focused on what is right for you.
Invisalign treatment begins with a digital scan of your teeth using the iTero intraoral scanner; no messy impressions required. Dr. Shore uses the scan to map out your full treatment plan, including a preview of how your teeth are expected to move at each stage. You will receive a series of custom aligners, each worn for approximately one to two weeks before progressing to the next set. Check-in visits allow Dr. Shore to monitor your progress and ensure treatment is on track.
Invisalign is effective for a wide range of alignment concerns, including crowded teeth, spacing issues, overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite. It is suitable for most adults and older teens whose teeth have fully developed. During your consultation, Dr. Shore will assess whether your specific case is well-suited to Invisalign or whether a different approach may produce better results.
Not every alignment issue is a good candidate for clear aligner therapy, and Dr. Shore will tell you honestly if that is the case. His conservative philosophy means you will only be recommended a treatment that he genuinely believes will work for your teeth.
Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires bonded to the teeth to gradually shift alignment. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable plastic aligners that are virtually invisible when worn. Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, and brushing, making them far more convenient for adult patients with busy lifestyles. Treatment timelines are comparable for many cases, though the complexity of your case will influence how long either approach takes.
Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, which means Invisalign is not purely a cosmetic investment. Crowded or overlapping teeth create hard-to-reach areas where plaque builds up, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease over time. By correcting alignment, Invisalign can contribute to better long-term oral health, not just a more confident smile.
Before starting Invisalign, Dr. Shore will ensure that your teeth and gums are in good health. Any existing decay or gum disease will need to be addressed first to set your treatment up for success.
Invisalign is one of Dr. Shore’s most practiced and requested treatments. He has been delivering clear aligner therapy at Central Park South for years, with a patient base that has grown almost entirely through referrals. As a solo practitioner, Dr. Shore oversees every step of your Invisalign treatment personally — from the initial scan through your final aligner — so you are never passed off to an assistant or a different provider mid-treatment.
Dr. Shore uses the iTero intraoral scanner to create precise digital impressions for Invisalign treatment planning. The scanner produces a highly accurate 3D model of your teeth, which is used to design your custom aligner series and provide a visual preview of your expected treatment outcome, before you commit to anything.
Dr. Shore has been practicing in Manhattan since 1999 and has delivered Invisalign treatment to patients across a wide range of ages and case complexities. That depth of experience means he can assess your alignment concerns quickly, set realistic expectations, and deliver results that patients refer their friends and colleagues to experience firsthand.
One of the most common reasons Manhattan patients choose Invisalign over traditional braces is the flexibility it offers. Aligners are removed for meals, social events, and important meetings, and put back in when convenient. For busy professionals and active adults, Invisalign fits into daily life in a way that metal braces simply cannot.

Have questions about Invisalign treatment? Here are answers to some of the most common questions we hear from patients considering clear aligner therapy.
Treatment length depends on case complexity. Mild to moderate cases typically take 6 to 18 months. Dr. Shore will provide a realistic timeline estimate after reviewing your digital scan during your consultation.
Aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day and removed only for eating, drinking, and brushing. Consistent wear is the most important factor in staying on track with your treatment timeline.
Invisalign treats a wide range of alignment concerns, but not every case is suitable for clear aligner therapy. Dr. Shore will evaluate your teeth and give you an honest assessment during your consultation.
