What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an innovative dental treatment for straightening teeth with a series of clear aligners. Each set of aligners is personalized to fit your smile and offer optimal results. The trays apply pinpointed pressure to gently guide your teeth into the ideal placement over time.

Since Invisalign braces do not use wires and brackets, oral hygiene is much easier than traditional wired braces. Generally, our Raleigh Invisalign treatments take about twelve to eighteen months. Invisalign treatments can enhance your bite alignment whether your bite relapsed after previous orthodontic treatments or you’re straightening your smile for the first time.

Our Raleigh Invisalign Process for Adults

It is never late for adults and teens to straighten their smiles and boost their confidence. Our orthodontist has worked with thousands of adults and provided Raleigh Invisalign treatments to enhance the look and function of their smiles.

When you first get to our dental office, we start our process by assessing your current oral health. We utilize an iTero® intraoral scanner to inspect your jaws, gums, and teeth to detect any underlying issues and ensure you qualify for treatment with Invisalign. Once we’ve determined that Invisalign can help you, we’ll use the scans to design your treatment. We can even show you what your smile will look like once your orthodontic treatment is complete.

We’ll send the scans to a reliable lab to fabricate your clear aligners. The orthodontist will discuss with you what to expect while wearing your Invisalign. When your aligners are ready, we will call you to pick up the trays and begin your treatment. Our team will schedule routine dental appointments to check your progress and determine if adjustments are necessary.

What Are the Benefits of Invisalign?

Invisalign is a popular treatment for misaligned and crooked teeth and bite issues. The popularity of this orthodontic treatment is because of its immense benefits, especially for adults. With Raleigh Invisalign treatments, you can expect the following benefits:

  • The trays can be removed when brushing, flossing, and eating.
  • No irritation from metal brackets or wires.
  • Invisalign aligners are clear and discreet.
  • No diet restrictions, so you can eat whatever you want anytime.
  • Many dental insurance plans now cover Invisalign.

Adult Invisalign FAQs

If you’re considering Invisalign as an adult, you likely have questions about the treatment. We’re happy to address all your questions and concerns. Here are some common questions we receive at our practice:

How Does Invisalign Treatment Work?

Invisalign uses a series of customized, clear plastic aligners which exert precise force on the teeth, shifting them into the right position. Our dentists at Dream Smiles will plan out your bite movements at each stage, and every new aligner set will make gentle, gradual adjustments to your bite. You will move to a new set of Invisalign aligners every two weeks until you achieve your beautiful, healthy smile.

Will Invisalign Treatment Affect My Speech?
Just like other orthodontic treatments, adjusting to clear aligners in your mouth will take a few days. Most patients do not notice any changes in their speech, while some will experience a small lisp for the first few days. Once your mouth becomes acclimated to the aligners, your speech will become normal again.
Does Invisalign Aligners Hurt?
During the first few days after wearing a new aligner tray, your teeth may feel a bit sensitive. That shows that Invisalign is working on your teeth to move them into position. The discomfort is usually extremely mild and wears off quickly. You can alleviate the discomfort with an over-the-counter pain reliever as needed.

How Much Does Invisalign Aligners Cost?

The cost of Raleigh Invisalign treatments will largely depend on the complexity of your dental care, the number of aligners required to achieve results, and how well you adhere to wearing your Invisalign clear aligners. At Dream Smiles, we do everything possible to make Invisalign treatment more accessible by offering affordable monthly payment options. We are also a Diamond Plus provider and pass these savings to our Invisalign clients. In addition, we accept insurance and CareCredit®. After your first consultation with our orthodontists, we will provide a complete price breakdown for your Raleigh Invisalign treatments.
