Invisalign® in Durham, NC
Straighten Your Smile Without Braces
Invisalign® offers a modern, nearly invisible alternative to traditional braces, using a series of custom-made, removable aligners to gradually move your teeth into proper alignment. At Smile Design Modern Dentistry, we help patients of all ages in Durham and surrounding communities achieve confident, straighter smiles—without the wires and brackets.
Led by Dr. Erfan Imeni, our team customizes Invisalign treatment plans using advanced digital scanning and precision technology. Whether you're an adult who wants to improve your smile discreetly or a teen looking for a flexible solution, Invisalign could be your answer.
Why Choose Invisalign?
Invisalign is ideal for treating common orthodontic concerns such as:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbites and underbites
- Crossbites and open bites
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign trays are clear and removable. This means:
- No dietary restrictions—just remove aligners to eat or drink
- Easy brushing and flossing with no wires in the way
- Fewer appointments and shorter visits
- Smooth plastic trays for added comfort
Many patients combine Invisalign with cosmetic treatments like Teeth Whitening for a complete smile makeover.
What to Expect During Invisalign Treatment
Your journey begins with a digital consultation, where we assess your bite, take digital scans, and design a precise treatment plan tailored to your goals.
- Digital Imaging: We use 3D technology to map out tooth movement from start to finish.
- Custom Aligner Series: You’ll receive a set of aligners, each worn for about two weeks.
- Progress Monitoring: You’ll visit our Durham office periodically to ensure everything is moving on track.
- Retainer Phase: Once treatment ends, we provide retainers to maintain your results.
For cases requiring restorations in addition to alignment, we may integrate Invisalign into a larger treatment plan that includes Dental Crowns or Veneers.
