Invisalign
Do you have crooked, gapped, or misaligned teeth but don't want to hassle with obvious metal wires and brackets?
Invisalign® is a discreet orthodontic alternative that can correct a variety of alignment issues using clear trays.
Dr. Charles A. Porter and Dr. Robert E. Porter in Charlotte, NC, offer this trusted orthodontic treatment to give you a beautiful smile.
Oral Health Benefits of Invisalign Treatment
Misaligned or crowded teeth can make it difficult to brush and floss properly. When you correct these orthodontic issues, you will be able to better maintain your oral health. If you have a misaligned bite, you may also be at risk for painful TMJ disorder symptoms. By aligning your bite with Invisalign, you can relieve stress on the TMJs.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign uses a series of clear aligner trays that are worn for 20 to 22 hours a day. Each tray gently guides your teeth into proper alignment. After a few weeks, instead of your dentist bending and adjusting wires, you will switch to the next series of aligners to continue treatment. Treatment lasts about 12 to 18 months, leaving you with a straighter, beautiful smile.

Candidates for Invisalign Treatment
Not everyone is a candidate for this orthodontic alternative. During your initial consultation at our Charlotte, NC, dental practice, your dentist will speak with you about the benefits to determine if you are a candidate for Invisalign. Candidates for clear aligners include:
Patients Committed to Wearing the Aligners
For optimal and timely results, patients must be committed to wearing their aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day. You will remove them to eat and to clean, but you must wear them consistently to achieve the proper results.
Patients With Mild-to-Moderate Orthodontic Issues
While Invisalign is a great option for most bite issues, if your misalignment is severe, traditional orthodontics such as braces may be a better treatment option for you.
Clear Aligner Treatment With Invisalign
Invisalign is a discreet, easy-to-maintain orthodontic option that addresses mild-to-moderate orthodontic issues without bulky and uncomfortable metal wires and brackets.
Do They Hurt?
Invisalign clear aligners are made of smooth, BPA-free plastic, so they do not irritate your gums. There may be some mild discomfort as your teeth and mouth adjust to the new aligners. However, this shouldn't last more than a few days and should be easily managed with over-the-counter pain medications. If you experience significant pain, contact our dental practice immediately so we can address it as soon as possible.
Caring for Your Clear Aligners
Cleaning and maintaining your Invisalign aligners is easy. Remove the aligners and brush and floss your teeth like normal. To clean your aligners, use a soft bristle brush and a mild soap and water. That's it!
Affordable Financing Available
We work with most insurance providers to reduce or eliminate your out-of-pocket costs with Invisalign treatment. However, we do not want financial barriers to prevent patients from seeking treatment. We accept CareCredit® financing and offer in-office financing options to help those who do not have insurance.
