Why Choose Invisalign® Clear Braces?

Improving More than Crooked Teeth

Invisalign® clear braces can transform how your smile looks by giving you beautiful, straight teeth. This has numerous benefits beyond cosmetic improvements. Crooked teeth increase the risk that bacterial plaque from food debris becomes trapped between the crevices of teeth. Crooked teeth can also cause bite issues, teeth grinding and clenching. In addition, crooked teeth can lead to TMJ and jaw pain. Straight teeth make it possible for you to properly brush and floss your teeth, with better results.

Similarly, aligned teeth will improve how your teeth fit together, helping to resolve functional problems associated with crooked teeth and a bad bite (malocclusion). Overall, Invisalign treatment from our experienced cosmetic dentist in Charlotte, NC using clear aligners will improve the health and function of your smile, in addition to providing natural smile aesthetics and a boost to your confidence!

Invisalign Clear Aligners are a modern orthodontic treatment that uses comfortable clear aligners to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. It is an alternative to traditional metal braces, providing a quicker and more discreet option for straightening teeth.

Yes, many people who previously had traditional metal braces can benefit from using Invisalign clear aligners after their initial orthodontic treatment. Our experienced dentists can evaluate your oral health and provide recommendations for treatment based on your individual needs.

Since the clear aligners are made of a comfortable plastic and fit your teeth perfectly, many people find them much more comfortable than traditional metal braces. As the aligners gradually move your teeth into the desired position, they are also designed to minimize discomfort. They can also be removed for eating and drinking so you don’t have to worry about food getting stuck like you would with metal braces.

Typically you will need to visit your Charlotte Invisalign dentist every 4-6 weeks to ensure that treatment is progressing as planned and adjust any necessary settings or aligners if needed. On average, Invisalign treatment takes 12 to 18 months, but it can be shorter or longer depending on the individual case.

During the consultation, your dental professional will be able to provide you with a more accurate estimate of how long your Invisalign treatment is expected to take. Factors that can affect the length of treatment include the severity of the orthodontic issue, the patient’s age, and the patient’s compliance with the treatment plan.

It is important to keep in mind that Invisalign treatment is a gradual process and results will not be immediate. However, with consistent and proper use of the clear aligners, patients can expect to see gradual progress towards their desired outcome. If you live in Charlotte, NC and are considering Invisalign treatment, the dental professionals at Charlotte Dental Arts can provide you with more information and answer any questions you may have about the treatment process and timeline.

Most insurance plans in Charlotte, NC do offer coverage for some portion of the costs associated with Invisalign treatments depending on your particular plan and its coverage options for orthodontic procedures. It is best to check with your insurance provider for more information about their coverage options for this type of treatment.

The risks associated with using Invisalign are few and minor – however, similar to conventional braces there may be some mild discomfort during use or slight irritation from wearing them for prolonged periods of time due to their tight fit against the teeth and gums. Additionally, it’s important to maintain good dental hygiene while undergoing the treatment as food particles could get trapped beneath the aligners if not cleaned regularly.

Invisalign is suitable for adults and teenagers with mild to moderate orthodontic issues, such as overcrowding, gaps between teeth, and misaligned bites. Invisalign may not be the best option for those with severe orthodontic problems, such as a deep bite or significant jaw misalignment. In these cases, traditional metal braces may be recommended.

It is important to note that the best way to determine if you are a good candidate for Invisalign is to schedule a consultation with a dental professional. They can assess your oral health and make recommendations based on your specific needs and goals. If you live in Charlotte, NC and are considering Invisalign treatment, you can schedule a consultation with Charlotte Dental Arts. Their team of experienced dental professionals will be able to determine if Invisalign clear aligner is the right option for you.

Yes, at Charlotte Dental Arts we offer Invisalign treatment customized to the needs of our dental patients in Charlotte, NC and the surrounding areas. With Invisalign, dental patients can get a personalized treatment plan tailored to their individual needs without the hassle of metal braces or wires.

I was seen at Charlotte Dental Arts for a cleaning and Invisalign assessment and I was very happy with the professionalism of the staff both in the front and back of house. The attention to detail that was provided was above and beyond what I have experienced at other dental offices. My Invisalign case was approved and I moved forward with the process. After several visits along the way, I completed the process and I was amazed at the improvement to both my smile and self confidence. Dr. Porter recommended I consider having crowns put in on some teeth that had been chipped multiple times as I was growing up. I proceeded with this as well and I could not be happier with the end result. I can not say enough good things about my experience at Charlotte Dental Arts with the entire staff. Dr. Porter is extremely knowledgeable and caring in his approach to dentistry. Highly recommended.
