Invisalign

Absolutely! Invisalign is a fantastic option for correcting various alignment issues. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners that are custom-designed for your teeth, so they provide a perfect fit. These clear aligners gradually move your teeth into the desired position.

Invisalign works by you wearing sets of aligners; each set is worn for a couple of weeks before you can move on to the next set. We recommend wearing your aligners AT LEAST 22 hours daily for optimal results. The average time for treatment with Invisalign is 12 to 18 months, but this can vary based on your alignment needs and smile goals. Many cases are finished in as little as 6 months!

Why People Choose Invisalign in Apex, NC

The beauty of Invisalign is in its discreet nature. The aligners are virtually invisible, so no one will ever even know you’re wearing them! Plus, you can remove the aligners to enjoy meals and brush and floss your teeth.

Schedule Your Invisalign Consultation with Us

Our Invisalign clear aligners are a discreet, comfortable way to straighten your teeth and align your smile. Tailored to your unique dental structure, Invisalign can pave the way for a radiant, confident smile. 

The best way to determine if Invisalign is right for you is to schedule a complimentary consultation. Call us today at 919-899-7956 for more information.

Instead of using traditional brackets and wires to move teeth into alignment, Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners. The aligners fit snugly against your teeth, gently moving them over time.

According to your treatment plan, you'll achieve your desired results by wearing your clear aligners for at least 22 hours per day. Then, you'll move to the next set of aligners in the series, typically every 2 weeks, but in some cases weekly. 

While everyone's needs differ, most patients achieve their desired results within 12 to 18 months of treatment, with many as fast as 6 months.  

You can remove the aligners for meals, brushing, and flossing, making home care during treatment with Invisalign simple. 

The Advantages of Choosing Invisalign to Straighten Your Teeth 

Clear aligners with Invisalign offer our patients several benefits that they love:

  • Comfort—Clear aligners are smooth and much more comfortable to wear than metal brackets and wires. 
  • Discretion—Since aligners are clear, they're essentially invisible, and no one will notice your orthodontic treatment.
  • Freedom—You'll enjoy the freedom to eat all the foods you love with Invisalign since aligners are removable. 
  • Simplicity—Caring for your smile with daily brushing and flossing is simple with removable aligners.

Since each patient's needs are unique, treatment times vary significantly. For example, a patient who needs to close a couple of gaps in their smile will have a shorter treatment time than one who needs to align teeth and correct their bite. 

Most patients finish their treatment with Invisalign in about 12 to 18 months.  

The best way to determine what your treatment time will be is to book a complimentary evaluation at Bass & Watson Family Dental.  

How Does Invisalign Work?

During your complimentary evaluation, your dental team will take a 3D scan of your mouth with the iTero scanner, take a panoramic x-ray and take a series of photos.  Then Dr. Watson will work directly with Invisalign to create a custom treatment plan based on your goals and desires for your smile. 

If you have questions about how Invisalign works or you would like to schedule your evaluation, contact us at 919-899-7956.
