Dr. Greenberg is an accredited Invisalign Provider

It is important to select an Invisalign Orthodontist that is credentialed and recognized by Align Technologies Advantage Provider Program. An Invisalign doctor’s overall experience level is relative to the number of patients he/she has treated with Invisalign aligners. While this is a new program through Invisalign, Dr. Greenberg has years of experience and expertise working with the Invisalign clear aligner system, as well as addressing problems with Early Two-Phase Orthodontic treatments.

Invisalign designed for Phase I Treatment in Younger Children

Early orthodontic treatment can help prevent future problems from becoming more serious over time if left untreated.

Invisalign First clear aligners help children, typically 6-10 years old, with arch development and space/crowding concerns. If treated early, Dr. Greenberg can use the aligners to create space for erupting teeth as your child continues to grow and develop. An early orthodontic evaluation and treatment can help:

  • Intercept any developing problems.
  • Eliminate the cause.
  • Guide the growth of facial and jaw bones.
  • Provide adequate space for incoming permanent teeth.

Although most children will require a second course of orthodontic treatment after all their permanent teeth have come in, Phase I makes it easier to move those teeth into their best positions during Phase II.
