Invisalign®

Orthodontics at Cape Fear Smiles

A straighter smile is not only more attractive but also healthier, and our holistic dentists at Cape Fear Smiles in Wilmington, North Carolina, understand the importance of orthodontic care in achieving your ideal smile. Dr. Norma Cortez provides comprehensive orthodontic treatments that focus on the oral-systemic connection, ensuring that your orthodontic care supports both your oral health and overall well-being.

Invisalign® is a popular and innovative orthodontic treatment that offers a discreet and comfortable way to straighten your teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign® uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually move your teeth into their desired positions. These aligners are virtually invisible when worn, making them an ideal choice for adults and teens who want to improve their smiles without the noticeable appearance of braces.

One of the key benefits of Invisalign® is its convenience. The aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, drink, brush, and floss without any restrictions. This not only makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment but also means you can continue enjoying your favorite foods. The removable nature of Invisalign® also supports our holistic approach, as it allows you to maintain a balanced diet and keep your mouth healthy throughout the treatment process.

Invisalign® treatment is customized to your specific needs, with each set of aligners designed to make small, precise adjustments to your teeth. As you progress through the series, your teeth gradually shift into alignment, correcting issues such as:

Misaligned Teeth:

Invisalign® can correct teeth that are crooked or misaligned, improving both the function and appearance of your smile.

Crowded Teeth:

If your teeth are crowded or overlapping, Invisalign® can help create space and straighten your teeth for a more even smile.

Gapped Teeth:

Invisalign® can close gaps between teeth, resulting in a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing smile.

Invisalign®: Align Your Smile and Improve Your Oral Health

In addition to improving the alignment of your teeth, Invisalign® can also address bite issues, including overbites, underbites, open bites, and crossbites. Correcting these issues not only enhances the appearance of your smile but also reduces the risk of dental problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, and jaw pain.

The Invisalign® process begins with a thorough consultation at our Wilmington, NC office, where we use advanced 3D imaging technology to create a precise treatment plan tailored to your needs. Throughout your treatment, we closely monitor your progress to ensure that your teeth are moving correctly and that you are on track to achieve your desired results.

Orthodontic treatment with Invisalign® is not just about aesthetics—it also plays a crucial role in improving your overall oral health. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of plaque buildup, cavities, and gum disease. Additionally, a well-aligned bite can improve your ability to chew and speak properly, contributing to better overall function.
