Dr. Gs passion for hyper-focused oral healthcare began when he was only 13 years old long before he ever attended dental school! As a child, he wasnt able to find a dentist who could accommodate his unique needs, even after multiple visits to several dental offices. Today, hes proud to always go the extra mile in order to make important, life-changing treatment accessible to anyone and everyone who may want it.
The creation of the Nu Smile Aligner grew from this essential, primary mission over time. Dr. G wanted all of his patients to be able to enjoy the incredible benefits that came from a beautifully straight and healthy smile, but overcoming gaps and crooked teeth through traditional braces or Invisalign was just too big of a hurdle for so many patients from a financial perspective. By pricing his custom clear aligners competitively, he is able to offer an amazing Invisalign alternative that is effective, convenient, and stress-free for even budget-minded patients and families.
Dr. G completed his dental doctorate at New York University. He has also pursued countless advanced education opportunities over the years, including dedicated training at Rutgers University and residencies at Bellevue, Gouverneur, NYU, and Coler-Goldwater hospitals. Today, he makes time to complete nearly 300 hours of additional education each year. His commitment to lifelong learning is clearly reflected in his dental offices revolutionary technology and state-of-the-art techniques!
Dr. G is happily married with four children and a family dog. When he isnt busy at work, you can pretty much always find him spending quality time with his loved ones! In particular, he greatly enjoys taking them on camping trips when the weather is nice.
For popular clear aligners like Invisalign and Byte, many patients dont realize that their products will be created in far-away places like Mexico or China. This means that dentists (if theyre involved in the process at all) have very minimal oversight over the actual creation of your brand-new aligners. Thankfully, the Nu Smile Aligner is created right here in New Jersey, and Dr. G has complete control over the process from beginning to end. Plus, we wont have to wait on tedious delivery times! Youll have your high-quality aligners in-hand before you know it.
Once youve completed the course of your treatment with Nu Smile Aligners, theres still one more step to ensure that the results truly last. Dr. G will provide free, customized retainers that are specifically meant to keep your teeth safely in place and prevent any unwanted shifting as time passes. Theres no additional cost to worry about, and our team will be sure to explain everything you need to know about using them successfully.
Having an accurate, digital three-dimensional representation of your teeth is a vital part the Nu Smile Aligner treatment protocol. Without it, we wouldnt be able to produce comfortable aligners that move teeth in a predictable way. To acquire the data we need, we use a digital impression scanner. The scanning process is quick and easy, and it involves absolutely no gross putty or powder. Its also super quick. As soon as we finish capturing images of your teeth, well have the information we need to start designing your aligners.
Dr. G and our team utilize the latest software to map out your course toward your ideal smile. Armed with accurate data and a high level of expertise, well plan how your teeth should move throughout the months when youll be wearing your aligners. Our goal is to shift teeth in a way that achieves fantastic aesthetics and a comfortable bite. This is in contrast to DIY teeth straightening methods like Byte and SmileDirectClub, which use a lower-tech process and run the risk of actually worsening your dental alignment.
Your mouth is one of the major gateways into your body. Therefore, you wouldnt want to put any material in it that could harm you. Thats why we use only the highest-quality medical-grade plastic (polyethylene) to fabricate our aligners. It is biocompatible and hypoallergenic, which means that it presents virtually no risk to patients. Plus, it is comfortable enough that you shouldnt have any problems wearing your aligners for the recommended 20 22 hours each day.
