Straighten Your Teeth Discreetly with Invisalign

In the field of orthodontic treatment, Invisalign has emerged as a popular solution, transforming smiles effectively without telling the world you’re fixing your teeth. Unlike traditional braces, which require the placement of metal wires and brackets directly on your teeth, Invisalign offers a more discreet and flexible approach to teeth straightening. But what is Invisalign, who it’s for, and what are the benefits it can give over traditional metal braces?

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a brand of clear aligners that has made a revolutionary breakthrough in orthodontic technology by creating clear, custom-made aligners that gently encourage teeth into a more desirable position in the mouth. These clear aligners are crafted from a smooth, transparent medical grade plastic material, which makes them practically invisible when worn. Invisalign guides your teeth into alignment with precision and comfort through a series of sequential trays, each slightly adjusted to encourage gradual tooth movement,

Here at Six Forks Family Dentistry in Raleigh, NC we are a qualified Invisalign provider, who utilizes advanced 3D imaging technology to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your dental needs. First you will sit down for an initial consultation to determine the best approach in giving you the smile you’ve always dreamed of. Once the aligners are fabricated, you wear each set for approximately one to two weeks, before moving to the next in the series. Our patients love that Invisalign offers a streamlined and convenient path to a straighter smile, requiring only periodic check-ups to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments.

Who is Invisalign for?

Invisalign can help adults and teens with a wide range of mild to moderate orthodontic issues such as:

  • crooking
  • crowding 
  • gaps
  • Mild/moderate bite issues. 

Invisalign is often a great option for both teens and adults hoping to improve the appearance and function of their teeth without everyone noticing. Professionals navigating the corporate world or teenagers navigating the world of high school, Invisalign is an attractive option that can straighten teeth without drawing unwanted attention.

People also love that Invisalign can be removed allowing the freedom to enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions. Unlike traditional braces, which often require you to avoid certain foods and drinks that could damage brackets and wires, you can simply remove your aligners before meals and snacks, then brush and floss as usual before reinserting them. This convenience contributes to a more enjoyable and hassle-free orthodontic experience.

Benefits of Invisalign over traditional braces

There are several benefits of Invisalign over traditional braces and it’s not difficult to see why clear aligners are an increasingly popular choice among teens and adults seeking a straighter, more attractive smile. 

  1. Cosmetic Appeal: Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign clear aligners are hardly noticeable, allowing you to straighten your teeth without the world knowing. “Goodbye metal mouth” and “Hello Beautiful, Confidant Smile!”
  2. Comfortable and Convenient: Invisalign clear aligners are made out of smooth, flexible medical grade plastic which create a more comfortable and gentler orthodontic experience compared to the discomfort often associated with metal braces. The fact that they can be removed as needed also makes eating, brushing, and flossing convenient and less of a hassle.
  3. Improved Oral Hygiene: Metal brackets and wires of traditional braces can trap food particles and plaque increasing your risk for dental decay and poor oral health. With Invisalign, good oral hygiene is easy, just remove your aligners for thorough brushing and flossing, no problem!
  4. Reliable Results: The advanced 3D imaging technology we use for Invisalign allows for accurate treatment planning, allowing you to visualize your expected results before treatment even begins! Our patients and staff here at Six Forks love this feature and the peace of mind it offers from start to finish. 
  5. Lifestyle Compatibility: Invisalign moves with you whether you’re an athlete, musician, or public speaker. Clear aligners adapt to your lifestyle without interruption or discomfort. Invisalign’s ability to be removed also allows you to participate in activities with ease, free from the constraints of traditional braces.
