Unwire Your Smile

Invisalign is a clear aligner system that offers a discreet and comfortable way to straighten teeth. Unlike traditional braces, which use wires and brackets that can be uncomfortable and difficult to clean, Invisalign aligners are removable. This feature means you can eat, drink, brush, and floss without restrictions, making it easier to maintain oral hygiene throughout treatment. The aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth and gradually shift them into the desired position, providing a smooth and nearly invisible orthodontic solution.

How Invisalign Works

Invisalign offers a modern, comfortable way to straighten your teeth without the hassle of traditional braces. At Weaverville Family Dentistry, we use advanced technology and personalized care to ensure you achieve a confident, beautiful smile. Here’s how the process works:

1. Consultation and Assessment: Your Invisalign treatment starts with a consultation where Dr. Jill Y. Merrell or Dr. David A. Merrell will evaluate your dental health and discuss your goals. We’ll use digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to assess your teeth and determine if Invisalign is right for you. We also offer flexible financing options to make treatment affordable.

2. Digital Impressions and Treatment Planning: We take precise digital impressions of your teeth using our iTero Digital Scanner, which helps us to create a 3D model and map out a custom treatment plan. With this model, we can predict the movement of your teeth and show you the potential results using advanced technology.

3. Custom Aligner Fabrication: Based on your treatment plan, we create a series of custom aligners using CEREC technology. These aligners are designed to gradually move your teeth into place. Each set is made to fit your teeth comfortably, and you’ll change to a new set every two weeks.

4. Wearing the Aligners: You’ll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, so that you can straighten your teeth discreetly. During your check-ups, we offer convenient amenities like Wi-Fi, refreshments, and massage chairs to keep you comfortable.

5. Completion and Retention: Once treatment is complete, we’ll provide a retainer to help maintain your new smile. Retainers are typically worn at night to prevent teeth from shifting. Your retainer will be custom-made for comfort and durability, and we’ll continue to monitor your results.

At Weaverville Family Dentistry, we combine the latest technology and compassionate care to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Schedule your consultation today to get started with Invisalign.

The Aesthetic and Health Benefits of Invisalign

  • Discreet Appearance: The clear aligners are nearly invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention, making them ideal for individuals who want a more subtle approach to orthodontic treatment.
  • Comfortable Fit: Made from smooth plastic, Invisalign aligners are comfortable and gentle on your mouth. Unlike traditional braces, they are less likely to irritate your gums or the inside of your cheeks.
  • Improved Oral Hygiene: Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing you to brush and floss your teeth as you normally would. This makes it easier to maintain oral hygiene and reduces the risk of plaque buildup and cavities during treatment.
  • Predictable Results: Advanced technology maps your treatment plan precisely, ensuring predictable and accurate results. In many cases, Invisalign delivers faster results than traditional metal braces.
  • Crooked or Misaligned Teeth: Invisalign effectively corrects crooked or misaligned teeth, helping you achieve a straighter, more uniform smile. It can also improve bite function, making chew and speaking easier.
  • Gaps Between Teeth: Invisalign can close gaps between teeth, providing a more cohesive and balanced appearance to enhance the aesthetics of your smile, but also improve overall dental health by reducing spaces where food and plaque can accumulate.
  • Overbites, Underbites, or Crossbites: Invisalign is an effective solution for correcting bite issues such as overbites, underbites, or crossbites. By aligning your bite, Invisalign helps prevent long-term issues like tooth wear, jaw pain, and difficulty chewing.

Our Five Star Reviews

I recently had a most pleasant experience at Weaverville Family Dentistry (once again). I needed two crowns so I was there for a while but I was very well taken care of by Jerry, who is an outstanding dental assistant. Dr. Jill was her usual interesting and engaging self so the time flies and before you know it, you're done. Many thanks to both of you for making a trip to the dentist the very best it can be.

As someone who has severe anxiety as the dentist and stopped going for YEARS-I can fully say the staff at Weaverville Family Dentistry are all incredible. They are caring, gentle, and have turned my whole fear around! Erin is my favorite hygienist, and both Dr Jill and Dr Dave have both helped my oral health in so many ways, while keeping me comfortable and hearing any concerns I have. I’ve been going for years now and will continue!

Both Dr. Dave & Dr. Jill Merrell and their dedicated staff, most of whom have been there for years, are simply amazing! They offer a friendly dental experience with state of the art technology and knowledge. My teeth and gums have never been this healthy and I have had multitudes of issues through the years. Highly recommend this kind and compassionate group.
