About Invisalign
We are proud to be a Diamond provider of Invisalign and one of the top Invisalign providers in our area! When you start your Invisalign treatment, you’ll first do digital scans in order to map out your mouth — no gooey mess of traditional impressions! Your smile’s journey will then be mapped out over a series of invisible aligners which are frequently changed, gradually guiding your teeth into place.
What sets Invisalign apart from other forms of orthodontic treatment?
- Aligners Are Invisible: There are no metal brackets to attach or wires to tighten. You simply pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete. The best part is that most people won’t even know you’re straightening your teeth.
- Very Hygienic: Invisalign 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, including brushing and flossing and easily cleaning your aligners.
- No Food Restrictions: No need to worry about sticky or hard food; you can eat anything you want. Simply remove your Invisalign clear aligners when you’re ready to eat a meal and pop them back in once you’re finished!
- Fewer Office Visits: Patients only need to visit the office every ten weeks instead of four weeks, saving you time and money in your treatment process. That means adults miss less work and teens miss less school.
Our Standard For Invisalign
Do you know the difference between the exceptional Invisalign care you will receive at Carolina Braces and mail-order clear aligner treatments? If you are considering mail-order treatment, it is our opinion that straightening your teeth is safest when your whole mouth, teeth, and bite are evaluated in person by one of our highly trained orthodontists. Often, mail-order aligners are not overseen by qualified professionals and can lead to needing further treatment by professionals to fix problems created by this method. Take a look at the great perks of being an Invisalign patient through Carolina Braces!
- Quick Treatment: Our custom aligners tailored to you straighten your teeth faster than traditional braces while being discreet and allowing for an active lifestyle.
- Affordable Plans: Our affordable plan can be paid as one single payment or as low monthly payments. We will work with you to find the best treatment option for your wallet.
- Doctor Supervision: Our doctor will be overseeing your treatment at every step, ensuring that you will get the perfect smile you deserve.

Invisalign For Kids
At Carolina Braces, we believe that starting orthodontic treatment early can set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy, beautiful smiles. That’s why we offer Invisalign for kids, a clear, comfortable, and effective option for early orthodontic care. With Invisalign, younger patients can address dental issues while enjoying the benefits of a virtually invisible treatment.
Why Early Orthodontic Treatment Matters
Early orthodontic treatment, also known as Phase 1 treatment, is typically recommended for children around the ages of seven to ten. At this stage, their mouths are still developing, and early intervention can guide the growth of their jaws and teeth, preventing more complex issues down the road. By addressing problems such as crowding, spacing, or bite misalignment early, we can help ensure that permanent teeth have the room they need to grow properly.
At Carolina Braces, we evaluate each child’s unique needs during an initial consultation. For many children, Invisalign can be a great solution, offering the flexibility to correct issues with minimal impact on their daily lives.
How Invisalign Works for Kids
Invisalign for kids is designed to gently shift teeth into their proper positions using a series of custom-made, clear aligners. These aligners are smooth, comfortable, and removable, making them a more appealing option for younger patients compared to traditional braces.
Some key benefits of Invisalign for kids include:
- Comfortable and Removable: Invisalign aligners are smooth and free of metal brackets and wires, meaning less irritation. Plus, they can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, allowing kids to maintain good oral hygiene throughout treatment.
- Virtually Invisible: Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, which helps kids feel more confident in their appearance while undergoing treatment.
- Flexibility for Active Lifestyles: Invisalign aligners won’t interfere with sports, playing instruments, or other activities that are important to kids.
Invisalign & Phase 2 Orthodontic Treatment
Invisalign can be a crucial part of Phase 1 orthodontic treatment, which is designed to address significant dental issues while a child’s teeth and jaws are still developing. With Invisalign, we can correct misalignments early, helping to prevent the need for more invasive treatments in the future. This early intervention can guide the growth of the jaw, address bite problems, and create space for incoming permanent teeth, setting the stage for a healthier smile.
A Comfortable & Fun Experience
We know that getting orthodontic treatment can sometimes feel overwhelming for kids, which is why we focus on making the Invisalign experience fun and stress-free. At Carolina Braces, our welcoming environment, combined with our expertise in treating young patients, helps children feel comfortable and confident every step of the way.
At Carolina Braces, we are proud to offer Invisalign for kids as part of our commitment to providing personalized, high-quality orthodontic care. Whether your child is just starting their smile journey or needs early orthodontic intervention, Invisalign offers a modern, comfortable, and effective way to achieve beautiful results.
Invisalign For Teens
At Carolina Braces, we know that the teenage years are all about expressing individuality and building confidence. That’s why we offer Invisalign for teens, a nearly invisible orthodontic solution designed to help teenagers straighten their teeth without the discomfort or visibility of traditional braces. With Invisalign Teen, your child can maintain their lifestyle, stay active, and feel confident while achieving the smile they’ve always wanted.
What Makes Invisalign Teen Unique?
Invisalign Teen goes beyond the typical benefits of Invisalign by including special features tailored specifically for teenagers:
- Custom Fit for Growing Smiles: Invisalign Teen aligners are designed with the unique needs of growing teens in mind. They can accommodate teeth that are still developing and shifting, ensuring a precise fit and effective results.
- Compliance Indicators: One of the key features of Invisalign Teen is the blue compliance indicator dots. These small dots fade over time to help parents and orthodontists track whether the aligners are being worn for the recommended 20-22 hours per day. This feature ensures that teens stay on track with their treatment, leading to faster and more efficient results.
- Replacement Aligners: We know that life can get busy, and sometimes things get lost — especially with teens! Invisalign Teen includes up to six free replacement aligners, providing peace of mind in case of lost or damaged trays.
- Comfortable and Removable: Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign Teen aligners are made of smooth plastic and have no metal brackets or wires that can cause irritation. They’re also removable, which means teens can eat their favorite foods, brush, and floss without the hassle of braces. This flexibility helps maintain good oral hygiene throughout treatment.
Advanced Monitoring with DentalMonitoring
At Carolina Braces, we use the latest orthodontic technology to ensure the best results for our patients. For teens undergoing Invisalign treatment, we offer DentalMonitoring, an advanced system that allows us to track their progress remotely. Using a simple app, teens can upload photos of their teeth, and our orthodontic team will monitor the movement and make adjustments to the treatment plan as needed — all without the need for frequent office visits. This added convenience helps teens (and their parents) stay on top of their treatment without disrupting their busy schedules.
Why Choose Invisalign for Your Teen?
- Confidence in Every Smile: Teens are naturally self-conscious about their appearance, and Invisalign allows them to straighten their teeth without the look of metal braces. This helps them feel more confident throughout their treatment.
- Fewer Office Visits: With the help of DentalMonitoring, teens can have their treatment progress tracked remotely, which means fewer trips to the office and more flexibility for families with busy schedules.
- Customized for Each Teen: Invisalign Teen is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Each set of aligners is custom-made to fit your teen’s teeth, ensuring optimal results with every stage of treatment.
Invisalign Teen offers a modern, convenient, and discreet way to achieve a beautiful smile. At Carolina Braces, we are proud to be one of the top Invisalign providers in the Triangle, and our experienced team is here to guide your teen through every step of their orthodontic journey. Whether your teen is looking to straighten their teeth without the hassle of braces or wants a solution that fits seamlessly into their lifestyle, Invisalign Teen may be the perfect option.

Adult Orthodontic Treatment with Invisalign
Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for teenagers. Many adults are turning to Invisalign to address dental concerns they didn’t resolve earlier in life. At Carolina Braces, we understand the unique needs of adult patients, and we offer Invisalign as a convenient, effective way to enhance your smile without disrupting your daily routine.
Invisalign can be used to treat a wide range of orthodontic issues in adults, including:

- Gaps Between Teeth: Close gaps between teeth for a more uniform smile and improved oral health.
Quick Treatment for Minor Aesthetic Issues
Invisalign is also ideal for adults looking for a quick treatment to correct minor aesthetic concerns. If you have slight misalignments or gaps, Invisalign can deliver faster results than traditional orthodontic methods, often requiring fewer appointments and less overall treatment time.
At Carolina Braces, we use advanced technology like DentalMonitoring to track your progress remotely, minimizing the need for frequent office visits. This makes Invisalign an even more convenient option for busy adults who want to achieve their smile goals with minimal disruption to their schedules.
The Benefits of Adult Orthodontics
- Improved Oral Health: Straighter teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of gum disease and tooth decay. By investing in orthodontic treatment, you’re also investing in the long-term health of your teeth and gums.
- Boosted Confidence: A straight, beautiful smile can boost your confidence in both personal and professional settings. Invisalign allows you to make that transformation without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment.
- Discreet Treatment for Professionals: If you work in a professional environment and are concerned about the appearance of metal braces, Invisalign offers the perfect solution. You can continue to present yourself confidently, knowing your aligners are practically invisible.
Advanced Technology for Optimal Results
At Carolina Braces, we use the latest in orthodontic technology to ensure that your Invisalign treatment is efficient, effective, and comfortable.

This allows us to design aligners that fit perfectly and deliver the best possible results.
We also utilize DentalMonitoring to check your progress remotely. By submitting regular photos of your teeth through the DentalMonitoring app, our team can monitor your treatment and make adjustments as needed without the need for frequent in-office visits.
