Invisalign in Raleigh

Many people would like straighter teeth but prefer an alternative to traditional braces. Invisalign® uses a special series of custom-made clear aligners to gradually move teeth into healthier positions while allowing you to continue many of your normal daily activities. If you are searching for Invisalign in Raleigh, Falls Family Dental provides personalized evaluations to determine whether Invisalign is the correct orthodontic solution for your smile, bite, and long-term oral health goals.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a clear aligner system that ultimately moves teeth using a series of removable, custom-designed aligners. Each set is worn for a specific period before progressing to the next stage of treatment.

Because the aligners are removable, you can take them out for meals, brushing, flossing, and special occasions. This flexibility lets you maintain your regular oral hygiene routine while working toward a healthier, straighter smile.

What Can Invisalign Treat?

Invisalign may be recommended to address a variety of orthodontic concerns, including:

• Mild to moderate crowding
• Gaps between teeth
• Certain bite irregularities
• Minor tooth rotations
• Teeth that have shifted following previous orthodontic treatment

During your consultation, Dr. Sandra Thore evaluates your bite, tooth position, oral health, and treatment goals to decide whether Invisalign is an appropriate option for your individual needs.

Clear aligners are not ideal for every orthodontic case. Dr. Thore will evaluate your bite and smile before recommending treatment.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your treatment begins with digital scans of your teeth to create a customized treatment plan.

Throughout treatment, you will:

• Wear your aligners as advised, typically 20 to 22 hours each day.
• Remove them for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing.
• Change to a new set of aligners according to your treatment schedule.
• Visit our office periodically so Dr. Thore can monitor your growth and ensure your teeth are moving as planned.

Following your treatment plan consistently plays an important role in achieving the best possible results.

Invisalign® vs. CandidPro

Falls Family Dental offers both Invisalign and CandidPro clear aligner systems. Although both options straighten teeth using clear aligners, they may differ in treatment planning, monitoring, and case selection.

During your consultation, Dr. Sandra Thore will review your orthodontic needs, discuss the features of each system, and recommend the option that best fits your smile goals, lifestyle, and clinical situation.

Maintaining Your New Smile

Once active treatment is complete, retainers are typically recommended to help maintain your new tooth positions and reduce the likelihood of unwanted shifting over time.

Wearing your retainers as instructed and attending routine dental visits can help preserve your orthodontic results for years to come.

Personalized Orthodontic Care

As a privately owned dental practice, Falls Family Dental believes orthodontic treatment should be personalized for every patient. Dr. Sandra Thore takes time to explain your treatment options, answer your questions, and recommend care based on your oral health rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Patients throughout North Raleigh, including Durant Road, Wakefield, Falls River, Bedford, Falls of Neuse, and Wake Forest, appreciate our honest recommendations, personalized attention, and commitment to creating healthy, confident smiles.
