What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic system that uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to move teeth gradually. Rather than brackets and wires, you wear smooth plastic aligners that are designed around your treatment plan.
Most patients wear aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day. You remove them when you eat, brush, floss, and drink anything other than water. As you move through each set of aligners, your teeth make small, planned adjustments toward their final position.
Your treatment begins with a consultation, a smile assessment, and a digital scan. Your orthodontist then develops a plan based on your teeth, bite, and goals.

Gladwell Orthodontics Provides Invisalign for Zebulon Teens and Adults
Invisalign may be an effective treatment for many teens and adults in Zebulon. It can address a wide range of orthodontic concerns, although the right treatment depends on the condition of your teeth and bite. Clear aligners may be used for:
Crowded or overlapping teeth
Spaces between teeth
Crooked teeth
Mild to more involved bite concerns
Teeth that have shifted after past orthodontic treatment
Overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites
The first step is a personal orthodontic evaluation. Your provider can assess your smile and explain whether Invisalign, traditional braces, or another orthodontic option is the better fit.
Why Choose a Diamond Plus Provider?
When it comes to Invisalign, your doctor’s experience matters. The clear aligners move your teeth, but your doctor creates the plan that guides those movements and helps shape your final smile.
Dr. Jason Gladwell is a Diamond Plus Invisalign Provider. This places him among the top 1% of Invisalign doctors in the United States. Because of his experience, he can use Invisalign to treat many types of orthodontic concerns, including more complex bite problems that may otherwise require traditional metal braces.
Why Patients Choose Invisalign
Invisalign offers a different experience from braces. Because the aligners are removable, many patients find it easier to maintain their normal routines during treatment.
Invisalign vs. Braces
Both Invisalign and braces can create excellent results. Clear aligners may be right for people who prefer a removable and more subtle option, while braces may be recommended for some complex movements or patients who may not be able to wear aligners as directed.
You do not have to make that decision alone. During your visit, the Gladwell team can explain your options in plain language and recommend a treatment approach based on your needs. Explore Invisalign and braces treatment options before your consultation.
The Invisalign Process
1. Schedule a consultation
Your Invisalign journey starts with a visit to the Zebulon orthodontic office. The team will review your smile, discuss your concerns, and answer questions about the process, expected timeline, payment options, and insurance.
2. Create your digital treatment plan
A digital scan helps map your teeth and bite. Your orthodontist uses this information to plan your tooth movement and create a series of aligners made for your smile.
3. Wear your clear aligners
You’ll wear each set of aligners for about 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, brush, and floss. As you switch to each new aligner, your teeth move little by little toward their planned position. Consistent wear is important for keeping your treatment on track.
4. Visit for progress checks
You will return for periodic appointments so your orthodontist can monitor your progress. These visits help ensure that your treatment is moving in the right direction.
5. Maintain your new smile
After active treatment, retainers help hold your teeth in their new positions. Your orthodontist will explain the retainer plan that is appropriate for you.
Invisalign FAQs
Is Invisalign right for adults?
Many adults are good candidates for Invisalign. It can help correct crowding, spacing, bite concerns, and teeth that moved after previous braces. A consultation is needed to determine whether aligners are appropriate for your individual case.
Can teens use Invisalign?
Yes. Invisalign can be a strong option for many teens. The key is wearing aligners consistently and following instructions from the orthodontic team.
Do I remove Invisalign to eat?
Yes. Remove your aligners before eating and before drinking anything other than water. Brush your teeth before placing the aligners back in whenever possible.
Will Invisalign hurt?
You may feel brief pressure when starting a new set of aligners. This often means the aligners are applying the planned force to move your teeth. Contact your orthodontist if you have persistent or severe discomfort.
What if I lose an aligner?
Contact the office promptly for specific guidance. Depending on where you are in treatment, the team may advise you to wear your prior aligner, move to the next one, or arrange for a replacement.
Do I need a retainer after Invisalign?
Yes, retainers are generally an important part of orthodontic treatment. Teeth can shift after braces or aligners, so following your orthodontist’s retainer instructions helps preserve your result.
