Invisalign clear aligners have revolutionized orthodontic treatment by offering a virtually invisible solution for straightening teeth without the aesthetic concerns traditionally associated with metal braces. These removable, custom-designed aligners provide the freedom to maintain your professional appearance and social confidence while achieving the straight, healthy smile you have always wanted, making them an ideal choice for image-conscious teens and adults throughout Passaic and surrounding communities.
At Eisenberger and Meister Orthodontics, we understand that modern lifestyles demand orthodontic solutions that adapt to your daily routine rather than disrupting it. Our comprehensive orthodontic services include advanced Invisalign treatment combined with cutting-edge technology and personalized care that serves our diverse community, including our Orthodox Jewish neighbors and Spanish-speaking families. For patients whose cases require more correction than clear aligners can address, Dr. Matthew Meister's expertise extends to traditional braces in Passaic, ensuring that you receive the most effective and appropriate care for your unique orthodontic needs.
The Invisalign process begins with advanced 3D digital imaging that captures precise measurements of your teeth and jaw structure, allowing us to create a detailed treatment plan that shows the expected movement of your teeth throughout the entire correction process. This sophisticated technology enables you to visualize your future smile before treatment even begins, providing confidence and clarity about your orthodontic journey from the very first appointment.
Your custom aligners are manufactured using state-of-the-art technology that ensures a precise fit and optimal tooth movement according to your personalized treatment plan. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately one to two weeks before progressing to the next set in the series, with each aligner moving your teeth incrementally closer to their ideal positions. Most patients wear clear aligners for 20-22 hours per day, only removing them for meals and oral hygiene, making compliance straightforward for motivated patients who want to achieve optimal results.
Understanding what to expect makes the process easier to follow through. At Eisenberger and Meister Orthodontics, every Invisalign case moves through a clear sequence: a complimentary consultation and comprehensive exam, followed by a digital iTero scan that replaces traditional impressions entirely. Your personalized treatment plan is then built using ClinCheck software, letting you preview your projected final smile before a single aligner is manufactured. Once your custom trays arrive, you wear them full-time and change to a new set approximately every week. Check-in appointments every 6 to 8 weeks allow Dr. Matthew Meister to confirm your teeth are tracking as planned, with refinements addressed early before they compound. Treatment concludes with a retainer phase, covered by your Eisenberger and Meister Orthodontics treatment plan, to hold your results long term.
Our commitment to Invisalign excellence reflects Dr. Matthew Meister's dedication to staying current with the latest advances in clear aligner technology and treatment techniques, ensuring that you receive the most effective and efficient care available. With extensive training from NYU College of Dentistry and specialized expertise in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, Dr. Meister provides honest, personalized treatment recommendations that prioritize your long-term oral health and satisfaction over unnecessary procedures or extended treatment timelines.

As a specialty orthodontic practice, Eisenberger and Meister Orthodontics focuses exclusively on tooth and jaw alignment. Dr. Matthew Meister completed specialty residency training in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at NYU College of Dentistry, which means every Invisalign case is evaluated with a depth of clinical knowledge that general dental practices cannot replicate. This expertise allows our team to manage complex alignment concerns, anticipate treatment challenges before they arise, and deliver more predictable outcomes with fewer refinements throughout your treatment.
Invisalign treatment in Northern New Jersey typically costs between $4,000 and $8,500, with most comprehensive cases falling around $5,000 to $7,000. Your exact investment depends on case complexity, treatment duration, and how many aligners are needed. At Eisenberger and Meister Orthodontics, we partner with OrthoFi to handle insurance submissions for virtually every major plan, and most dental plans with orthodontic benefits cover Invisalign the same way they cover traditional braces — typically $1,500 to $3,500 in lifetime benefits. We also offer Cherry and HFD financing with low-interest monthly payment options so you can start treatment immediately.
Most Invisalign cases at our Passaic practice are completed within 12 to 18 months for both adults and teens who maintain proper compliance. Treatment duration depends on the complexity of your orthodontic concerns — simple alignment cases can finish in as little as 6 months, while more complex bite corrections may take longer. The key to staying on schedule is wearing your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only for meals, drinking anything other than water, and your oral hygiene routine. Dr. Matthew Meister monitors progress at check-ups every 6 to 8 weeks.
Modern Invisalign technology effectively addresses mild to moderate crowding, spacing issues, and certain bite problems that previously required traditional braces. However, some complex cases involving severe bite corrections, significant tooth rotations, or extensive vertical tooth movements may still get better results with braces. Dr. Meister’s training at NYU College of Dentistry and his specialty in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics allow him to provide honest recommendations about which option fits your case. During your consultation, we use 3D digital imaging to show you exactly what Invisalign can — and cannot — achieve for your specific teeth.
You need to wear your Invisalign aligners 20 to 22 hours per day to stay on track with treatment. The only times you should remove them are for eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing or flossing. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately one to two weeks before progressing to the next set in your series. Patients who wear their aligners less than the recommended amount typically experience extended treatment times and may need refinement trays. The Dental Monitoring app we provide helps you track compliance and reduces the number of in-office visits required.
No, you must remove your Invisalign aligners before eating or drinking anything other than plain water. The aligners are made of medical-grade plastic that can warp from heat, stain from coffee or tea, and trap food particles that lead to cavities. The benefit is that you have no dietary restrictions during treatment — you can enjoy all your favorite foods, including the cultural and religious dietary specialties important to our Orthodox Jewish and Spanish-speaking patients. Simply rinse the aligners and your mouth before placing them back in, and brush your teeth whenever possible after meals.
Most teens and adults with mild to moderate orthodontic concerns are candidates for Invisalign, including patients with crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. Patients with severe bite issues, significantly rotated teeth, or skeletal jaw problems may need a combination approach or traditional braces. Compliance is also essential — Invisalign only works if you actually wear the aligners 20 to 22 hours a day, so motivated patients see the best results. Schedule a complimentary consultation at our Brook Haven Mall office in Passaic by calling (973) 862-3333. We will use 3D imaging to confirm your candidacy honestly.
Invisalign is the original clear aligner system, with over 25 years of research, proprietary SmartTrack material, and the largest database of treatment outcomes in the industry. Newer or mail-order aligner brands typically use thinner generic plastic and lack in-person orthodontist supervision. At Eisenberger and Meister Orthodontics, every Invisalign case is planned and supervised by Dr. Matthew Meister, who completed specialty training in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics. This in-person oversight catches problems early — like teeth not tracking correctly — that mail-order services miss. The result is more predictable outcomes and fewer refinements.
