What We Offer

Invisalign Treatment at Layton Dentistry

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Each set of Invisalign aligners is custom-fabricated from smooth, BPA-free plastic and worn for approximately two weeks before advancing to the next set. They're virtually invisible, removable for eating and brushing, and comfortable enough to wear throughout your day without anyone knowing you're in treatment.

iTero Digital Scanning

We use the iTero Element scanner to capture precise 3D digital impressions of your teeth — no uncomfortable putty trays required. The iTero also allows us to show you an Outcome Simulator so you can see a preview of your projected results before committing to treatment.

Invisalign vs. Braces

Invisalign offers several advantages over traditional braces — they're removable, nearly invisible, and don't restrict what you eat. They're also easier to keep clean since you remove them to brush and floss normally. For most mild to moderate orthodontic cases, Invisalign delivers results comparable to traditional braces.

Invisalign for Adults

Invisalign is especially popular with adults who want to straighten their teeth without the look of metal braces. Whether your teeth have shifted since your teens or you're addressing alignment for the first time, Invisalign fits seamlessly into professional and social life.

Invisalign for Teens

Invisalign Teen is designed specifically for younger patients, with compliance indicators that show how consistently the aligners are being worn. It's a great option for teens who play sports or instruments and want to avoid the restrictions and discomfort of traditional braces.

Invisalign Cost & Financing in Charlotte

The cost of Invisalign varies depending on the complexity of your case and length of treatment. Many dental insurance plans that cover orthodontics will apply benefits toward Invisalign. We also offer flexible financing to make treatment accessible — and we'll walk you through all costs clearly before anything begins.

Common Questions

Invisalign FAQ

Am I a candidate for Invisalign? +

Invisalign works well for most mild to moderate orthodontic issues including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Severe cases may still require traditional braces, but the range of what Invisalign can treat has expanded significantly with newer technology. We'll assess your bite and alignment at your consultation and give you an honest recommendation.

How long does Invisalign treatment take? +

Treatment length depends on the complexity of your case. Mild corrections can be completed in as few as 6 months, while more involved cases typically take 12–18 months. The key factor is wearing your aligners for the recommended 20–22 hours per day — the more consistently you wear them, the faster and more predictable your results.

How is Invisalign different from braces? +

Invisalign aligners are removable and nearly invisible, making them significantly more discreet and convenient than metal braces. You can eat whatever you like, brush and floss normally, and there are no wires to irritate your cheeks. For most cases, the clinical results are comparable — and many adults and teens strongly prefer the Invisalign experience.

How much does Invisalign cost in Charlotte? +

Invisalign costs vary based on case complexity and the number of aligners required. Many dental insurance plans that include orthodontic coverage will apply those benefits to Invisalign. We'll provide a complete cost breakdown after your iTero scan and consultation — no surprises, just a clear picture of your investment and options.

Does Invisalign hurt? +

Most patients experience mild pressure or discomfort for the first day or two after switching to a new set of aligners — this is a sign the aligners are working. This discomfort typically fades quickly and is generally much less significant than the soreness associated with wire tightening in traditional braces.

What happens after Invisalign treatment is complete? +

Once your final aligner is complete, we'll fit you for retainers to keep your teeth in their new position. Retainer wear is essential — teeth can shift back without them. We'll recommend a retainer schedule based on your case and provide ongoing support to help you protect your results long-term.
