These days, choosing orthodontic treatment is far simpler and more comfortable than it used to be. Remember when straightening your teeth meant dealing with clunky metal braces? They were uncomfortable, impossible to hide, and required a huge time commitment. It’s no wonder traditional braces are known to be tough to endure. But at Carolina Dental Arts, we offer a much better solution. As an experienced dentist and a platinum Invisalign provider, Dr. Powell has the training to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted—without the hassle of metal braces. Clear aligners like Invisalign® offer a discreet and comfortable way to straighten your teeth, fitting right into your daily life. With Dr. Powell’s expertise as an Invisalign dentist, you can look forward to a beautifully aligned smile with ease and confidence.
If you could choose any place for your orthodontic care, wouldn’t it be where expertise is assured? Dr. Powell’s skill as an Invisalign dentist means you’re not just receiving treatment—you’re receiving care from a specialist who truly knows how to deliver results. Why trust your smile to anyone else?
What To Expect From Your Invisalign Dentist During Treatment
Your Invisalign® treatment begins with a consultation with Dr. Powell. Here, he will assess your oral health and discuss your cosmetic goals to determine if Invisalign is right for you. He may also take digital scans or impressions of your teeth so we can have a precise picture of your current smile.
Once we confirm that Invisalign is the right fit, Dr. Powell will create a personalized treatment plan using advanced 3D technology. This plan maps out each stage of your teeth’s movement and even previews your final results. When your custom trays are ready, you’ll receive them in sets. You will wear each aligner for about two weeks, keeping them in for 18 to 22 hours daily. Only remove them for eating, drinking, and maintaining oral hygiene.
Throughout your treatment, you’ll have regular check-ups so we can monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. We schedule these appointments every few months when you need a new set of aligners.
As your treatment concludes, Dr. Powell may provide you with a retainer to help maintain your new smile. Wearing a retainer is essential to keeping your teeth in their new positions, ensuring the results of your Invisalign treatment last a lifetime.
Is Invisalign Right for Me?
Many prefer Invisalign® because it offers a discreet and comfortable way to straighten teeth. It effectively treats crooked teeth, as well as mild to moderate overbites, underbites, and crowding.
However, Invisalign may not be ideal for everyone. Traditional braces are often more effective for severe overbites, underbites, and other complex bite issues. They are also better suited for severely rotated teeth—those more than 20 degrees out of position—where Invisalign might not be sufficient. Additionally, traditional braces typically provide better results if you have large gaps between your teeth, especially those larger than 6mm.
We also offer clear braces for those who need the effectiveness of traditional braces but want a less noticeable option. Also known as ceramic or tooth-colored braces, these braces use clear ceramic brackets and tooth-colored wires instead of the metal ones used in conventional braces. This option provides a more aesthetic alternative while still delivering effective orthodontic care.
