Invisalign in Clayton, North Carolina

Invisalign works in a similar way as braces, except instead of wires shifting brackets on your teeth over time, a series of trays snaps in to very small bumps applied to your teeth, gradually shifting them. Many people prefer this method due to the fact that they can remove their “braces” or trays whenever they would like, enabling them to smile freely during important photos or eat sticky candy without fear. Additionally, Invisalign is a popular choice for adults whose teeth are not what they want, but who also don’t want to feel self-conscious about having traditional braces.

Family-friendly, individual treatment

For Invisalign to work, consistency is key. This means that you wear your Invisalign trays as often as possible, at least 22 hours per day. Without this consistency, your teeth will not shift as they should. Invisalign can be uncomfortable with new tray application, but this discomfort usually fades within a day or two like it does when brackets on braces are tightened.

FAQs About Invisalign

Modern orthodontics has revolutionized the way people get straighter teeth and better smiles with Invisalign. Invisalign is a series of clear, removable aligners that are custom-made for each patient, as opposed to traditional metal braces, which straighten teeth using wires and brackets. Our team offers this service to our clients, helping them get the smile they envisioned. Some of the questions we’re commonly asked about this service are listed below.

Hidden
What is the duration of the Invisalign treatment?
The length of treatment varies based on each patient’s unique orthodontic requirements. The average length of time for Invisalign treatment is between six months and two years.
Does Invisalign cause pain?
A new set of aligners may cause some patients to feel slightly uncomfortable, but overall, Invisalign treatment is thought to be less painful than wearing traditional braces. As the mouth acclimates to the new aligners, any discomfort usually goes away in a few days.
I have Invisalign aligners on. Can I eat or drink while wearing them?
It is advisable to take out the aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This makes it possible to clean the aligners and teeth properly before re-insertion and helps keep the aligners from staining.
How often should I wear my aligners from Invisalign?
Aim for 20–22 hours a day of aligner wear for best results. Wearing the treatment consistently is essential to its effectiveness.
Can everyone receive treatment using Invisalign?
Most patients with mild to severe orthodontic difficulties, such as crooked teeth, gaps in teeth, and overcrowding, can benefit from Invisalign, even teenagers and adults. On the other hand, serious situations could call for different orthodontic procedures.
