How Does Invisalign Work?
The first step of getting Invisalign in Cary is an initial consultation with Dr. Singh. During this appointment, he will examine your mouth and oral structure and determine whether the treatment is right for you. Using our advanced digital impression system, Dr. Singh will take measurements and images of your mouth to make a model that will be used to craft your customized aligners. Once your trays arrive, you’ll need to wear them for at least 22 hours each day to stay on track with your treatment timeline. Each pair of aligners will gradually shift your teeth until your entire arch is completely aligned.
Over the course of the process, you’ll need to visit our office every six to eight weeks for a quick progress check and to pick up your next pairs of trays. These appointments typically only last between 15 and 30 minutes, so most patients are easily able to fit them into their lunch break.
As you reach the end of your treatment, we’ll discuss different retainer options with you to keep your teeth from shifting back into their original positions and undoing all of the progress you’ve made.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign treatment is so popular among patients because it offers a variety of unique benefits that traditional braces aren’t able to. Some of these include:
- Less average treatment timeline than traditional braces.
- Clear aligners are more comfortable and don’t irritate your gums and oral tissues like braces.
- Zero dietary restrictions, just be sure to remove your trays when you eat.
- Shorter routine checkups, which means you’ll spend less time in the dental chair.
What Problems Can Invisalign Address?
Invisalign treatment can solve a variety of moderate to severe orthodontic problems. Dr. Singh typically recommends this solution to patients who are suffering from the following issues:
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Crowding
- Misalignment
- Gaps between teeth
Understanding the Cost of Invisalign
Invisalign is a discreet and customized orthodontic treatment, which means every patient’s journey towards a straighter smile will be slightly different. The price of Invisalign in Cary will depend on your unique needs and goals, as well as several other important factors. When you come in for your complimentary Invisalign consultation, we’ll evaluate your smile and give you a personalized estimate regarding the length and cost of your treatment. Alongside accepting dental insurance, we offer our in-house dental savings plan and financing options through CareCredit, Lending Club, and Lending Point. You could pay as little as $79 per month for Invisalign clear braces with your credit approval!
Factors that Affect the Cost of Invisalign
No two smiles are exactly the same. There are several unique factors that will influence the final cost of your Invisalign treatment, including:
- Case Complexity: As you may have suspected, the more severe your orthodontic issue, the more your treatment will cost. For instance, closing one or two small spaces between the teeth will be less expensive than fixing an entire arch of crowded teeth.
- Treatment Length: You’ll go through a series of aligners to straighten your smile. A longer treatment will require more aligners, which will increase the final cost.
- Your Compliance: You will be responsible for keeping your treatment on track by wearing your aligners for 20-22 hours every day and caring for them properly. If you don’t, you could potentially increase both the length and price of your treatment.
Invisalign VS Smile Direct Club™: Which Costs More?
If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to straighten your smile, there’s no better or safer option than Invisalign. However, there are mail-in aligners like Smile Direct Club™ that claim to offer even faster and more convenient treatment. While tempting, these DIY orthodontics could easily cost you more time and money, not to mention cause permanent damage for your smile!
Mail-in aligners have little to no oversight from a professional, which makes it all too easy for something to go wrong. From incorrect dental impressions, aligners that don’t quite fit, to missed oral health issues like cavities or gum disease, one little problem could cause a lot of complications for your teeth that need to be fixed by a professional later anyways. Meanwhile, when you visit Carey Dental Rejuvenation, Dr. Singh will be with you every step of the way to answer your questions and ensure your treatment goes exactly according to plan. If you want to feel confident in the success of your treatment, the price of visiting us for Invisalign is well-worth it!
Does Dental Insurance Cover Invisalign?
Only some dental insurance policies cover orthodontic treatment, and even among those who do, not all cover Invisalign specifically. We’ll be happy to review the details of your insurance plan with you to find out if any coverage is offered. Our team has years of experience navigating insurance claims and helping our patients maximize their insurance benefits to reach the lowest out-of-pocket expenses.

- Our In-Office Smile Savings Program: For a flat annual fee, you can skip the hassle and headache of dental insurance and enjoy benefits like 2 cleanings a year, 50% off fluoride, and 15% off other dental services, including Invisalign.

Invisalign FAQs
Are you ready to discreetly leave crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth in the past? Dr. Singh would love to help you achieve your dream smile with Invisalign in Cary! If you have specific questions you’d like answered before starting treatment, don’t hesitate to schedule your initial consultation so our fantastic staff can help. However, if you’d like to do a bit more research before reaching out to us, then keep reading for the answers to a few frequently asked questions.
Is Invisalign Treatment Painful?
Since Invisalign doesn’t require metal brackets and pesky wires to guide your teeth into the perfect position, many patients find that they are virtually pain-free. In fact, the trays are custom-made, which prevents them from incessantly rubbing against your gums and cheeks. With that being said, it is natural to feel some discomfort in the hours or days following each new phase of treatment. Don’t worry, that just means the aligners are doing their job!
How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?
Thanks to Invisalign’s clear aligners, patients can fix crowded, gapped, or crooked teeth quicker than ever before. In fact, the average treatment is only 12 months! That being said, your timeline can vary between 6 and 18 months depending on your unique dental needs. Interested in knowing exactly how long it will take to achieve your dream smile? Don’t hesitate to schedule your initial consultation with Dr. Singh, our dentist in Cary, to find out.
My Invisalign Aligners Are Turning Yellow. What Can I Do About This?
To keep your aligners clean and spotless, you must be diligent about incorporating them into your oral hygiene routine. Otherwise, their once clear makeup will become yellow and stained. The best place to start is by brushing them gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush in lukewarm water. You can also soak them in an Invisalign-friendly cleaner daily, avoid stain-causing foods and beverages, like coffee, and always take them out when you eat or drink to keep them in pristine condition.
Will Invisalign Affect How I Speak?
To enunciate words properly, your tongue makes a series of distinct movements against your teeth. So, it’s natural for your tongue to need some time to adjust to your Invisalign trays. However, many patients don’t experience any difficulty, and those that do usually find that it only takes a couple of days at most to adjust. If you are experiencing a lisp due to your aligners, repeating difficult words over and over again can help you acclimate quicker.
What If I Accidentally Lose My Invisalign Tray?
If you accidentally misplace one of your trays, it is important to remain calm. After all, a frazzled brain won’t help you locate them any faster. Simply do your best to retrace your steps, paying special attention to the small nooks and crannies they could’ve fallen into. Once you’ve confirmed that they are lost, give our office a call. From there, we can determine whether you can use a previous set of trays, move onto the next ones, or need to have a replacement one made ASAP.
