Invisalign & Clear Aligners in Raleigh, NC

Straighten Your Smile Without Braces

Clear aligners have completely changed the way adults approach orthodontics. At North Hills Dentistry in Raleigh, you can achieve a confident, beautifully aligned smile without metal brackets or wires — all while fitting treatment seamlessly into your busy lifestyle.

Whether you missed out on braces as a child, stopped wearing your retainer, or just want a discreet way to improve your smile now, Invisalign® clear aligners make it easier than ever to get results without disrupting your day.

Why Adults Choose Invisalign

If you’re a working professional or parent, spending a year or more in traditional braces probably doesn’t sound appealing. That’s why so many adults choose Invisalign. The aligners are virtually invisible, comfortable, and removable — making them ideal for people who want to look and feel confident throughout treatment.

You can lead meetings, meet clients, and enjoy dinner with friends — all while your teeth gradually move into alignment. Most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.

What to Expect with Invisalign Treatment

Step 1: Consultation

Your journey begins with a consultation at North Hills Dentistry. Our team will evaluate your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine if Invisalign is right for you. We’ll review your treatment timeline, cost, and any pretreatment needs to ensure predictable, beautiful results.

Step 2: Digital Impressions

Using advanced digital scanning technology, we create precise 3D images of your teeth — no messy molds required. These scans are sent to the Invisalign lab, where your custom aligners are made.

Step 3: Treatment

You’ll receive a series of aligners designed to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. For the best results, wear your aligners 22 hours per day, switching to a new set about every two weeks.
Treatment times vary, but most patients complete their Invisalign journey in about 12 to 18 months.

Step 4: Retainers

Once treatment is complete, we’ll provide a custom retainer to help maintain your new smile. Wearing your retainer as directed will keep your teeth beautifully aligned for years to come.

Caring for Your Clear Aligners

Invisalign aligners are made from durable, smooth plastic but should be handled with care.

• Rinse and clean your aligners daily using mild soap and room-temperature water.

• Brush and floss before putting your aligners back in to avoid trapping food or bacteria.

• Always store your aligners in their protective case when not in use.
