What Is Invisalign?

Home » Invisalign » What Is Invisalign?

There’s never been a better time to straighten your teeth with the most advanced clear aligner in the world. Riverbend Orthodontics is proud to be a VIP Diamond provider of Invisalign clear aligners, which give you a clear, convenient, and comfortable option to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. When it comes to your smile, don’t you want to be treated by the best of the best? Riverbend Orthodontics is a VIP Diamond Invisalign Provider in Charlotte, NC, a distinction awarded to us because of our exceptional expertise and experience in using Invisalign to get the best possible results. To reach and maintain VIP Diamond Provider status, we must complete a large number of Invisalign cases every year successfully. Not all orthodontic offices earn the title of VIP Diamond Invisalign provider—it is a mark of true excellence in the field of clear aligner orthodontics.

What Is Invisalign Treatment?

Invisalign is a series of proprietary clear aligners that change shape over time to straighten your teeth. Tooth-colored attachments are placed on your teeth as “grips” and are used to help the clear aligners push your teeth into the proper position and alignment. Invisalign aligners need to be worn for 22 hours per day. You can remove them to eat, drink, brush, and floss.

Why Invisalign Treatment?

Faster treatment: With weekly aligner changes, you’re on your way to the smile you want even faster. Depending on your response to treatment, particularly in mature adults, we may consider longer periods between aligner changes.

  • Proven results: SmartTrack® material and SmartForce® features are clinically proven to improve control of tooth movement with Invisalign clear aligners
  • Better fit: Aligners made from SmartTrack material are comfortable, fit well and are easy to put on and take off.
  • Effective: Invisalign clear aligners can treat a wide range of teeth-straightening conditions, including crossbites, crowding, open bites, gapped teeth, overbites, and underbites.
  • Virtually invisible: Most people won’t even know you’re going through treatment because Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible!
  • Comfortable: Invisalign clear aligner trays are not only smooth and comfortable to wear, but they’re also removable. That means you can continue doing all the things you normally would, from brushing and flossing to eating whatever you like.
  • Convenient: Invisalign treatment is ideal for your busy schedule since you only need to visit Riverbend Orthodontics every eight to 12 weeks

How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?

The length of time it takes to achieve your ideal smile is completely dependent on the case. Limited orthodontic cases with Invisalign can take four to nine months, while comprehensive orthodontic cases can range from one to two years. Every case is unique; the more complex the case and the more bite correction that needs to be done, the longer the case will be.

To help achieve our patients’ new smiles faster, we offer the acceleration device PROPEL Orthodontics VPro5 and AcceleDent® Aura that can decrease treatment times by up to 30%.

Is Invisalign Right For Me?

There are no exclusions with Invisalign. Invisalign is just a tool utilized to move the teeth. The main factor in whether or not Invisalign can be effective for you is the orthodontist who uses it. We have treated thousands of cases and has the expertise to straighten teeth and aid in bite correction for those that need it. We can fix overbites, underbites, crossbites, crowding, and spacing, all with the clear convenience of Invisalign aligners.
