Invisalign is a state-of-the-art alternative to traditional braces that is virtually undetectable. A series of clear, customized aligners are used to straighten your smile by moving teeth with controlled force. The aligners are switched out every two weeks. According to New York City cosmetic dentist Jason Kasarsky, DDS, Invisaign is a “no brainer” since it gradually changes your smile over time. “The results are spectacular, and can be seen in as little as eight to 12 months,” he adds.

Now, Open White…
If you haven’t noticed, the toothpaste aisle at your local pharmacy is a glowing these days with whitening brands, quite nearly overtaking the number of common-man’s pastes. The premium whitewash indicates the latest trend with the dentally obsessed, who are taking teeth-brightening to the logical next step. “Cosmetic dentistry isn’t just for models and the elderly – everyone wants, and deserves, a perfect smile,” touts Dr. Jason Kasarsky, a New York-based dentist who has perfected the smiles of Donna Karan, Eric Clapton, and members of the New York Rangers. And with technological advancements such as the Kasarsky-pioneered “air abrasion technique” – the painless substitute to the barbaric drill – cosmetic dentistry is becoming more easy and reasonable. As a first step, he and other dentists recommend ditching those archaic gold-and-silver nuggets of yesterday in exchange for tooth-colored fillings.

Traditional Braces Versus Invisalign
TRADITIONAL BRACES
The Pro
“Traditional metal braces can use tipping forces to straighten the teeth, whereas Invisalign trays push the teeth into place,”says New York City cosmetic dentist Jason S. Kasarsky, DDS. Ceramic braces are another option – they blend in with the natural shade of your teeth for a seamless look.
The Cons “The downside of metal brackets, ceramic or natural-colored braces is that they can be problematic to clean and can cause swollen gums short term,” he adds.
One of the most common concerns for a smile makeover is a crooked smile, which Dr. Kasarsky says can result from genetics, crowding and shifting, trauma to the teeth or bad habits like biting on pens and using your teeth as tools. But despite the cause, there are many solutions available to give you a straighter smile, which can enhance the shape of your face.
INVISALIGN
Pros
“The aligners are switched approximately every two weeks,”explains Dr. Kasarsky, who also notes that while the overall treatment time may vary, most patients wear their aligners for about one year.
Cons
In very complex cases, it may be necessary to use a variety of different orthodontic treatments to achieve a desired result. “A patient may start with a removable action appliance like Invisalign and then go to traditional fixed braces,” says Dr. Kasarsky.

AN EXFOLIATING TREATMENT FOR YOUR GUMS
Bad habits, like smoking, can wreak havoc on your gums, making them look dark and puffy. Your dentist can perform a procedure known as gum dermabrasion where the top layer of tissue is buffed away. “The procedure accelerates cell turnover, removes discoloration and stimulates new tissue growth,” says New York City cosmetic dentist Jason S. Kasarsky, DDS.

Six Ways to Healthy Gums and Sexy Smile
Looking to enhance the beauty of your smile but not sure where to start? Consider your gums. They should be pink in color, signaling that they are healthy and youthful. But inflamed, bleeding gums may be a sign of gum disease, which can destroy the surrounding bone and gum tissue. “Someone can have beautiful teeth, but if their gums aren’t pink, healthy or symmetrical, the smile won’t look as attractive as it can. That is one of the many reasons it is important to take proper care of our gums,” says New York City cosmetic dentist Jason S. Kasarsky, DDS.
LASER AWAY A GUMMY SMILE
“As a general rule of thumb, you should barely have any pink showing above your teeth when you smile,” says Dr. Kasarsky. If you have a gummy smile, your dentist can correct it with laser gum recontouring, removing extra gum tissue and repositioning the gumline. As a result, short teeth appear longer, and your smile will look more balanced. The procedure, which takes less than an hour per arch, yields permanent results and minimal downtime.“It’s a very safe procedure; there are no stitches, rarely any swelling and the results are immediate,” he says. Best of all, it only requires topical anesthesia, which Dr. Kasarsky says,“numbs the patient and is more conducive to precise results. When anesthesia is injected into the gums, it causes them to swell, distorting the way the gums look and making the procedure harder to perform.”

Drinking More Than Three Cups of Coffee A Day
Besides discoloring your smile, coffee is a diuretic, which dehydrates both the body and mouth. The drier the mouth is, the easier it is for odorous bacteria to multiply and invade the teeth, gums and tongue since there’s no saliva there to flush it away.“Coffee tastes wonderful, and the caffeine kick is needed globally, but beware,” says New York cosmetic dentist Jason S. Kasarsky, DDS, reasoning that reaching for an extra cup of Joe may be what’s behind your bad breadth due to its drying effect. In addition, coffee releases gas in the intestinal track during digestion, which then travels to the lungs and is exhaled upon breathing – further giving way to the dreaded daily “grind” of “coffee breath.”

As Featured In New York Post – Taking A ‘Bite’ Out of Crime

October 27, 2003 — EXCLUSIVE
Cosmetic Dentist Manhattan New York, Dentist New York City, Cosmetic Dentist manhattanNew York City parents worried about losing their kids to a predator or a terror attack are heading to the dentist’s office.
New techniques allows parents to store their kids’ DNA and other physical data when they go in for a cleaning – and NYC dentists say the idea is catching on. The new product that makes it possible is called Toothprints – a nondegradable plastic bite-plate developed to retain a child’s bite impression, saliva scent and genetic makeup.
“When I heard about it, it seemed like a no-brainer,” said Dr. Jason Kasarsky, who began Toothprinting last May and performs the simple procedure about five times a month. “People are asking about it more than ever before.”
Last week, Margot Stern’s 3-year-old son visited Kasarsky’s Park Avenue office and was Tooth-printed in no time.
Kasarsky heats the Y-shaped plate in water for 30 seconds, has the child chomp down on it for a couple of seconds, removes the plate and lets it air dry for a minute or two before procedure is completed.
“I don’t see what the negatives are after living in New York after 9/11,” said Stern, 40. “There’s so much uncertainty.”
Fears of terrorist activity aside, a national study completed by the federal government in 2002 said roughly 797,500 kids were reported missing in 1999. The majority are taken by family members, but 58,200 of those children were snatched by people known to the family who didn’t have permission to take the kids – and 115 of them were grabbed by predatory strangers.
Still, there are those that say Toothprints causes parents to needlessly worry, may not hold DNA as well as its proponents claim, and makes parents Toothprint their children at least three times because of changes that occur in a growing mouth.
Even with the concerns, many believe the procedure, normally administered at no cost or for a charitable donation, can be worthwhile.
“It’s noninvasive, it’s inexpensive or free, it takes about five minutes to do, so why not do it?” asked Jerry Nance, a National Center for Missing & Exploited Children case manager.
Toothprints was invented several years ago by Dr. David A. Tesini, a Massachusetts pediatric dentist.

Failing to brush and floss regularly may lead to more problems than cavities: a new study has found that poor oral health can be an indicator of heart disease.
The researchers, writing in the journal Circulation, suggested that dentists consider referring patients with infection, tooth decay or other problems to a physician who can evaluate them for heart problems.
“I don’t want to alarm people, but at least you could say, `Well, we should check your cholesterol and blood pressure and so forth,’ ” said the lead author, Dr. Sok-Ja Janket, an assistant professor at the Boston University dental school.
