Invisalign: Clear Braces for Adults

Invisalign Braces
for Cary, Raleigh, NC & Beyond

The experienced general and cosmetic dentists at Sunrise Dental in Cary, Chapel Hill, Raleigh, Durham, Apex, and Morrisville, NC, are proud to offer Invisalign braces for adult patients looking for a smile makeover! Invisalign is an orthodontic solution that will not impose on your lifestyle, appearance, or reputation. If you are looking for a way to comfortably and conveniently improve the aesthetic appearance of your smile and achieve the straight, beautiful teeth you have always wanted, Invisalign braces might be right for you.

The Invisalign system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to correct orthodontic problems such as gaps in teeth, crooked teeth, crowding, overbites, and more. This cosmetic option requires regular visits to the dentist to receive a new set of clear aligners that will continue the process of straightening your teeth. These invisible braces can be removed at any time for eating, brushing teeth, or flossing. In addition to their convenient nature, the aligners are also more comfortable than traditional metal braces and will not rub, scratch, or cut your gums or cheeks.

How Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign is a great tool for those who may have had braces previously but have experienced movement in their teeth over the years following the removal of their orthodontal work. These aligners have different time duration periods that can be customized around the consistency you feel that you can wear the retainer-like covers on your teeth. For those who opt to wear the aligners for longer periods of time throughout the day, the straightening of the teeth will be achievable quicker than those who opt for a shorter wear period during the day. These wear periods are largely reliant on your daily schedule and lifestyle; however, beautiful smiles can be achieved by both Invisalign timelines.

If you are looking for a superior adult orthodontic option for a smile makeover, our Invisalign short-term solution may be for you.

Is Invisalign a Good Alternative to Braces?

Invisalign is an excellent alternative to traditional metal or ceramic braces in many ways. While it is not suitable for every dental problem (Invisalign cannot, for example, correct serious orthodontic issues such as impacted teeth), it comes with many other benefits that make it a preferable option for many patients. Here are some of the many reasons that Invisalign can be a preferable choice for many cosmetic dentistry patients: 

  • Aesthetics: Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign offers a clear, nearly invisible look. This helps you keep your smile as natural and confident as possible during the process. 
  • More Comfortable: Invisalign is designed to be more gentle and comfortable to wear than traditional metal braces. You can easily remove them when needed, making it easy to eat whatever you like without having to worry about getting things stuck or breaking your braces. 
  • Affordable: Invisalign is similarly priced to more traditional cosmetic dentistry measures, making it an affordable braces option for anyone who qualifies. Current Invisalign patients can save money too - if you lose, break, or crack a tray, you can easily use a backup to continue your progress seamlessly without having to worry about making an emergency appointment. Many insurance plans are able to help pay for Invisalign; in other circumstances, you might be able to find a special deal. Talk to your dentist office and your insurance provider to learn more about the financial specifics of this decision. 
  • More Hygenic: Because the Invisalign trays can be easily removed while you eat or clean your teeth, it’s much easier to properly care for your teeth, reduce plaque buildup, and prevent cavities. You can enjoy long-term oral health while straightening your teeth!

Enjoy Straighter Teeth & A Smile Makeover With Invisalign

Getting Invisalign’s clear, bracketless braces starts with a close examination of your teeth. Using computer technology, your Sunrise Dental cosmetic dentist will examine a 3D model of your teeth to customize your teeth straightening plan. This technology helps us accurately plot the ideal position of your teeth after treatment and will make sure you get the best possible smile makeover. While you undergo the treatment, you will receive a new set of clear aligners every two weeks to gradually shift your teeth into optimal position. The aligners move your teeth very gently — you will only ever feel pressure when exchanging aligners, never the intense discomfort associated with a tightened wire. Also, because the aligners are made of a clear plastic material, they will sit comfortably in your mouth without causing irritation. Invisalign invisible braces have many advantages over metal braces. Aside from the fact that the aligners are virtually invisible and will draw no unwanted attention to your teeth, the length of treatment is also preferable. Invisalign aligners work their magic in only about a year — your treatment can be complete in about half the time of traditional braces. This wonderful benefit can help you get in and out of your clear braces quickly and without the huge change in lifestyle and appearance associated with traditional braces.

Oral Health Advantages To Straight Teeth

Did you know that Invisalign will not only improve your appearance but will also help you keep your teeth healthy in the long run? Straighter teeth provide fewer places for harmful disease- and decay-causing substances to hide. By straightening your teeth, you are eliminating these hiding places and aiding in the prevention of gum disease, tooth decay, and other common dental problems.Invisalign clear braces can help you get the smile you want right now — and help you keep a beautiful, healthy smile for life. We love to help our patients achieve the cosmetic results and smile makeovers they want, but knowing that our Invisalign services are helping them keep their teeth and gums healthy for the rest of their lives is a truly wonderful experience that we get to enjoy.
