If you have always wanted that straight, beautiful smile, without the metal wires of traditional orthodontics and braces, then choose Dr. Edward Alvarez. First certified by Invisalign® in 2002, Dr. Alvarez has been creating beautiful smiles with clear aligner therapy in our Manhattan, New York City office for two decades. Invisalign® is a great choice when choosing to straighten your teeth without braces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b77f9c34003c23e73d5581/4eac10b3-abbe-4474-8f08-da1c8b211773/Invisalign-aligners.jpg Invisalign Clear Aligners NYC - What is Invisalign®? What is clear aligner therapy? Invisalign® is a treatment that use a series of clear dental aligners, also called "trays" to move your teeth a little at a time. Invisalign® serves as an alternative to traditional braces. Invisalign® can treat a variety of different orthodontic problems such as gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, open bites, crowding and crossbites. Invisalign® is an excellent choice for treating teeth that have relapsed after previous orthodontic treatment and need minor correction. Invisalign® has been on the market since 1999. Dr. Alvarez was an early adopter of Invisalign®, certified in 2002. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b77f9c34003c23e73d5581/f4be6692-023c-48b1-8cdd-ce92197fbd2e/rs%3Dw_400%2Ccg_true%2Cm.jpeg Invisalign Clear Aligners NYC - What is the process to get Invisalign? In order to fabricate aligners for teeth straightening, Dr. Alvarez will take a digital scan of your teeth, digital x-rays, and digital photographs of your face. That information is then sent via secure internet from our Manhattan, New York City office to Align Technology, who makes Invisalign®. A digital 3D model and computer simulation will then be created, on which Dr. Alvarez will design your new smile. After a few weeks in production, the aligners will be shipped to our New York City office. Once we receive your aligners, we will again meet with you to make sure there is an accurate fit, as well as to give you clear instructions on the use of your new clear aligners. Each aligner, or "tray" is worn by a patient for 18-22 hours per day. Trays are changed every week. Most clear aligner cases are completed in an average time of 12-14 months, but can be as little as 3-6 months, depending on how much correction is necessary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b77f9c34003c23e73d5581/0fbdf95d-48f4-4333-a965-29c393c003d6/rs%3Dw_1160+%283%29.jpeg Invisalign Clear Aligners NYC - Invisalign FAQ How do clear aligners compare to traditional braces? Both traditional braces and Invisalign® will give you virtually the same cosmetic results. Clear aligner therapy can give you the beautiful, straight smile you have always wanted. What are the advantages of treating with Invisalign®? The first advantage is obvious and that is that the trays are clear, and virtually invisible to the naked eye. They are much more attractive as compared to the wires and brackets of traditional braces. You can take them off when you like, for up to 6 hours per day, just in case you have a special event to attend. Unlike braces where nuts, seeds, and other foods can get trapped or break your brackets and wires, with clear aligners you can eat whatever you like. You are able to floss and brush without any special tools. Your mouth will be cleaner and much healthier. There are no metal wires to cut your lips, cheeks, or gums. Comfort is greatly improved. Unlike wires in traditional braces that may contain nickel, clear aligners are completely metal free, so you don't have to worry about metal allergies or toxicity. https://www.nyclaserdentist.com/about-dr-alvarez daily 0.75 2025-12-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b77f9c34003c23e73d5581/a49f0614-98ce-4408-8888-365b14786a00/rs%3Dw_400%2Ccg_true.jpeg About Dr. Edward Alvarez - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.nyclaserdentist.com/midtown-nyc-dental-technology daily 0.75 2025-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b77f9c34003c23e73d5581/1449efb7-49b9-4af1-8481-d4422be29542/rs%3Dw_1160.jpeg Technology - Advanced Laser Dentistry Dr. Edward Alvarez was one of the first dentists in New York to introduce the Waterlase All Tissue Laser into his practice in 2003.

Alvarez In addition to the expertise Dr. Edward A. Alvarez has developed in the world of cosmetic dentistry, he has furthered it in the field of Facial Aesthetics, including Botox®, Kybella®, and dermal fillers such as Juvederm®, Voluma®, Vobella®, Vollure®, and others. Dr. Alvarez has been certified by both the Facial Beauty Institute in Tennessee, and the Esthetic Skin Institute in Florida. In addition, Dr. Alvarez has also undergone training and certification by Allergan, the company behind Botox®, Juvederm®, Kybella®, and other aesthetic products. Dr. Alvarez has been treating patients in his Manhattan office with dermal fillers and Botox® for over a decade and a half. The difference explained... Having Botox®, Kybella®, Juvederm®, or other facial aesthetic treatments done by Dr. Alvarez in his Manhattan office is different in some subtle ways. Looking at faces every day and knowing what a great smile looks like allows Dr. Alvarez to know what a beautiful frame for that smile should be. First, incorporating his vast knowledge of facial anatomy, and considering all the artistic components that make up a beautiful face and smile, Dr. Alvarez can tailor dermal fillers to give the right amount of augmentation. Second, as a dentist, Dr. Alvarez is accustomed to working on changing the appearance of the face, determining facial harmony and facial beauty, and using the contours of your teeth and smile to cause a change in the contours of your face. Third, Dr. Alvarez can also apply low level laser therapy to the filler site to reduce inflammation, bruising, and swelling that is normally associated with treatment. Fourth, Dr. Alvarez is very comfortable in numbing the facial areas treated, just as he does in dental procedures, which can make aesthetic procedures virtually painless. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b77f9c34003c23e73d5581/7d0700c7-b7d1-4e7a-85a0-b51672e11fe8/rs%3Dw_600%2Ch_300%2Ccg_true+%2810%29.jpeg Botox and Dermal Fillers - What is Botox®? Botox® cosmetic is a prescription medicine, also known as a neurotoxin, that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of both moderate to severe crow's feet lines and frown lines between the eyebrows (also known as the “elevens” or “11’s”) in adults. Botox® cosmetic targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines and crow’s feet by minimizing or eliminating the muscle contractions form frowning and squinting over the years. Dr. Alvarez will inject these muscles with Botox® to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice a visible smoothing of the skin. Dr. Alvarez will also use Botox® in his Manhattan office for the treatment of facial (TMJ) pain caused by clenching of the teeth. Dr. Alvarez will inject Botox® into your facial muscles called the masseter muscles, that become overgrown and increase the pressure to your teeth when you clench, many times eliminating or lessening tooth clenching, and relieving pain from clenching. Botox® treatment requires minimal downtime or recovery; and it’s often called a lunchtime procedure. You will be able to go about your normal routine immediately after you leave Dr. Alvarez’s office.

Snoring is the sound that occurs when breathing is partially obstructed during sleep. Snoring occurs when the soft tissue in the back of the throat collapses and blocks the normal airflow during sleep. As many as half of adults snore, and it can indicate that you have Obstructive Sleep Apnea, or "OSA". Not all people who snore have OSA, but if you snore, and have any of the following symptoms, you should be evaluated for OSA by undergoing a sleep study: Excessive noise during sleep Daytime sleepiness Tired upon waking Morning headache Trouble concentrating Constant waking at night Gasping or choking at night High blood pressure Chest pain at night Sexual or Erectile Dysfunction (men) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b77f9c34003c23e73d5581/e05665ec-1bfb-44d8-ad28-55bfbb288d82/rs%3Dw_600%2Ch_300%2Ccg_true+%282%29.jpeg Dental Sleep Apnea and Snoring - What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea or OSA? Obstructive Sleep Apnea, or OSA, is a condition many times associated with snoring, and is diagnosed by physician using a sleep study. OSA is a very serious health problem during which a person can stop breathing for up to a minute or more due to the soft tissue in the back of the mouth and throat fully blocking the airway. This lack of oxygen to your brain and heart can wreak havoc to your entire body. Research now shows that untreated OSA can lead to the following conditions and complications: Heart Attack Stroke Diabetes Impotence in men Memory Loss Depression Hypertension Cardiac Arrhythmia Congestive Heart Failure Endocrine Problems Liver Failure End Organ Failure and even death https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b77f9c34003c23e73d5581/9fd71575-169e-4f1e-925f-a556e2de9b11/rs%3Dw_600%2Ch_300%2Ccg_true+%283%29.jpeg Dental Sleep Apnea and Snoring - How we help stop snoring and control obstructive sleep apnea... Today, somewhere between 80%-90% of adults with OSA remain undiagnosed. To help control the symptoms of snoring, or if you have been diagnosed with OSA by your physician, Dr. Alvarez can create a variety of dental sleep appliances or "a snore guard" . These type of dental snore guards and mandibular advancement devices can help you increase your oxygen level at night, as well as prevent snoring. Many times the appliances are used when a patient cannot, or will not use a "C-PAP" sleep apnea device. The dental snore guard works by advancing your jaw forward, thereby opening your airway, similar to what is seen done during CPR. There are a variety of dental sleep apnea devices done by Dr. Alvarez, including: TAP and TAP 3 Elite Device EMA Dental Guard Snore-Guard Dental Snoring Device SomnoMed Classic SomnoMed Herbst Advance Dr. Alvarez is a Member of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine https://www.nyclaserdentist.com/laser-dentistry daily 0.75 2025-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Laser Dentistry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Laser Dentistry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b77f9c34003c23e73d5581/1641172229383-ADDHBH5XIVTH66Y0GN9M/cr%3Dw_365%2Ch_365.jpeg Laser Dentistry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b77f9c34003c23e73d5581/1641172382511-S6INKRP5CJ75TFZ90B13/cr%3Dw_365%2Ch_365.png Laser Dentistry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b77f9c34003c23e73d5581/1641172414592-VU5YXBTU2MVFQ57X5MJ5/rs%3Dw_365%2Ch_365%2Ccg_true.jpeg Laser Dentistry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b77f9c34003c23e73d5581/1e2e9a40-8bde-4f71-bdaa-7cf94c77568e/rs%3Dw_400%2Ccg_true.jpeg Laser Dentistry - Highly Experienced, Dental Laser Expert Dentist Dr. Edward Alvarez has made a commitment to having laser dentistry as one of the cornerstones of his practice since 2002.

Dr. Edward Alvarez can help Teeth grinding, or otherwise known as Bruxism is a medical condition where you grind or clench your teeth. Teeth grinding may happen unconsciously when you're awake or or at night during sleep (sleep bruxism). Grinding your teeth while you sleep is considered a sleep-related movement disorder. People who clench or grind their teeth (brux) during sleep are more likely to have other sleep disorders, such as snoring and pauses in breathing (sleep apnea). In some people, tooth clenching and grinding may be frequent and severe enough to lead to jaw disorders, headaches, damaged teeth and other problems. Because you may have sleep bruxism and be unaware of it until complications develop, it's important to know the signs and symptoms of bruxism.

Teeth Whitening, also known as Tooth Bleaching/Teeth Bleaching, or Dental Bleaching, is a process that involves using peroxide to lighten the color of yellowed or graying teeth. There are many kinds of over the counter whitening systems including toothpastes, mouth rinses, strips, and gels. However, when seeking teeth whitening from Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Edward Alvarez in our Manhattan, New York City office, he will provide you with four different ways of getting your teeth white and bright. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b77f9c34003c23e73d5581/f246b5b6-1315-4977-ac20-a424f607ff9b/rs%3Dw_600%2Ch_300%2Ccg_true+%285%29.jpeg Teeth Whitening - What are the side effects of Teeth Whitening? While most patients will not experience any side effects when teeth whitening, some patients do report some mild tooth sensitivity. Dr. Alvarez describes tooth whitening as "Giving your teeth a facial". The peroxide gels in no way damage your enamel, and in fact work by forcing oxygen to clean the pores of the enamel and remove any organic stains that are trapped in those pores. A few days after the dental bleaching is done, the saliva will build up a protective layer to fill the pores in the enamel and the sensitivity disappears. Dr. Edward Alvarez advises anyone undergoing tooth whitening to brush with an anti-sensitivity toothpaste both before, and after teeth bleaching. Many times, that will prevent sensitivity from appearing at all. Sometimes bleaching gel can get on the gums, particularly if teeth whitening is done using store bought bleaching trays, or by untrained non dental personnel such as at a tanning salon or at the mall, the gel can temporarily burn the gums causing irritation and tenderness. Luckily, most side effects of teeth whitening are temporary and should cease a few hours or days after the treatment has ended. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b77f9c34003c23e73d5581/c5a078a8-52cd-4579-a595-24cf77f54437/rs%3Dw_600%2Ch_300%2Ccg_true+%286%29.jpeg Teeth Whitening - How long does Teeth Whitening last? Unfortunately, like many things, teeth whitening does not last forever, and requires some minor upkeep. Typically, the results form a tooth whitening procedure can last two to three years before patients may want to have a touch up. Some patients may want to do a touch up dental bleaching sooner, as results vary from person to person, and it is up to the individual to decide when they would like to lighten their smile again. Disposable bleaching kits, or additional bleaching gel (if the patient has bleaching trays) can be used to touch up the color of your teeth at a very inexpensive cost after teeth bleaching. To increase the longevity of tooth whitening results, patients can avoid smoking, and certain foods and drinks that may stain teeth. A routine cleaning at our Manhattan office is always recommended as well. https://www.nyclaserdentist.com/nyc-dental-insurance-payment-options daily 0.75 2025-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b77f9c34003c23e73d5581/ad005826-0a68-42d7-842a-594a396bfb15/rs%3Dw_400%2Ccg_true.png Payments and Insurance https://www.nyclaserdentist.com/concierge-dentistry daily 0.75 2025-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b77f9c34003c23e73d5581/cd4d8e84-4737-43d1-897b-2dc31d825d9b/rs%3Dw_600%2Ch_300%2Ccg_true+%2813%29.jpeg Concierge Dentistry - Luxury Transportation Whether you are arriving into Manhattan from out of town looking for a cosmetic dentist, or have particular needs, we will be happy to arrange transportation to and from our office on the day of your treatment as part of our concierge dentistry services. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b77f9c34003c23e73d5581/721f423a-f9f0-4270-b38c-fa4e61ca1cff/black+velvet.png Concierge Dentistry - Privacy and Exclusivity Dr. Edward Alvarez, a well respected and sought after cosmetic dentist in Manhattan and the entire staff puts your privacy and discretion above everything else.
