Start with a free consultation and 3D scan at any of our seven offices: North Raleigh, Downtown Raleigh, Wake Forest, Rolesville, Durham, Southpoint and Zebulon.
What Is Invisalign® ?
Invisalign® is a clear aligner system that uses a series of custom-made, nearly invisible trays to gradually move your teeth into perfect alignment.
No brackets.
No wires.
No food restrictions.
Just a comfortable, removable solution designed for everyday life.
Digital Precision
Advanced 3D scanning creates a perfect map of your teeth
Expert Care
Decades of orthodontic expertise guiding your treatment
How Invisalign Treatment Works at Our Offices
Digital Scan = No Gaggy Impressions
We start with a 3D digital scan of your teeth to create a precise model of your bite.
Customized Treatment Plan
Our orthodontists map every tooth movement digitally, ensuring accuracy and predictability.
Your Custom Aligners Are Made
Each set of aligners moves your teeth slightly closer to their final position.
Wear, Switch, Smile
You'll switch to a new aligner set every 1–2 weeks based on your orthodontist's plan.
Trackable Results
We monitor your progress in appointments that are shorter and less frequent than braces adjustments.
Enjoy your new smile!
Wear your retainer nightly to ensure treatment stays in place

Why Choose Gladwell Orthodontics for Invisalign in the Triangle?
Anyone with a scanner can sell aligners. What you’re really choosing is the orthodontist who plans every tooth movement. At Gladwell Orthodontics, that’s an orthodontic specialist, not a mail-order lab.
- Invisalign Diamond Plus provider. One of the highest-volume Invisalign practices in North Carolina.
- Orthodontists plan every case. Your treatment is designed and monitored by a specialist from start to finish.
- Seven Triangle offices. North Raleigh, Downtown Raleigh, Wake Forest, Rolesville, Durham, Southpoint and Zebulon.
- No goopy impressions. A quick digital scan maps your teeth in minutes.
What Invisalign Can Fix
Clear aligners handle far more than minor crowding. We regularly treat:
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps and spacing
- Overbites, underbites and crossbites (see how we correct overbites)
- Open bites
- Relapse after earlier braces
- Teeth with crowns, bridges or root canals
Some patients also use small tooth-colored attachments or Invisalign elastics to correct the bite. When treatment ends, our retainer subscription keeps your results in place.
Invisalign vs. Braces: Which Fits Your Life?
| Factor | Invisalign | Traditional Braces |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Nearly invisible | Visible brackets (clear options available) |
| Eating | Remove aligners; no food rules | Avoid hard, sticky and chewy foods |
| Cleaning | Brush and floss normally | Takes extra time around brackets |
| Comfort | Smooth plastic edges | Brackets can rub cheeks early on |
| Commitment | Must wear 20–22 hours/day | Always working, no wear time to track |
| Office visits | Fewer, shorter check-ins | Adjustments every 4–8 weeks |
Not sure? We offer both, so you get an honest recommendation. Learn more about braces at Gladwell Orthodontics.
How Long Does Invisalign Take?
Mild cases can finish in about 6 months. Most comprehensive cases take 12 to 18 months. Your timeline depends on how far teeth need to move and how consistently you wear your aligners. See our realistic Invisalign timeline by case type.
Invisalign for Teens and Adults
Teens skip the metal-mouth yearbook photos, and we schedule around school and sports. Explore orthodontics for teens. Adults keep aligners discreet through client meetings, weddings and first dates. Many are fixing teeth that shifted after childhood braces. See adult orthodontics.

Invisalign Questions We Hear Most
Is Invisalign as effective as braces?
For most cases, yes, when it’s planned by an orthodontist and the aligners are worn 20–22 hours a day. A few complex cases still move faster with braces, and we’ll tell you if yours is one of them.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Expect pressure for a day or two with each new set. Most patients describe it as tightness, not pain.
Does insurance cover Invisalign?
Many dental plans with orthodontic coverage treat Invisalign the same as braces. We check your benefits for you.
Why see an orthodontist instead of a general dentist for Invisalign?
Orthodontists complete two to three extra years of specialty training in tooth movement and bite correction. That training shows up in the treatment plan.
