At Dental Wellness of Charlotte, Dr. Sergei Shirman's training and expertise allow us to offer comprehensive orthodontic treatment, including traditional braces and clear aligners with Invisalign. So if you're not a candidate for clear aligners, Dr. Shirman can still help you achieve a straighter, more beautiful smile with brackets and wires.
How Does Invisalign in South Charlotte Work?
If you and Dr. Shirman determine that invisible braces are right for you, he'll create your customized treatment plan with 3-D imaging. Then, Invisalign uses that plan to fabricate your clear aligners in sets that you'll change every two to three weeks.
Patients who are consistent about wearing their aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day can typically complete their treatment in 12 to 18 months.
What Are the Advantages of Invisalign?
There are lots of aspects of treatment with Invisalign that our patients love:
- Discretion - The fact that aligners are made of clear plastic means they're virtually invisible, and no one will notice you're straightening your teeth.
- Freedom - You'll enjoy all the foods you usually love during treatment because aligners are removable.
- Comfort - Aligners are smooth and comfortable to wear without pokey wires or brackets.
- Hygiene - Brushing and flossing are simple because you can remove your aligners—no complicated cleaning around brackets and wires.
