About Invisalign
At Mint Hill Orthodontics, we are proud to offer Invisalign — an advanced, discreet, and comfortable orthodontic solution designed for patients who want to straighten their teeth without the look and feel of traditional braces. Invisalign is a modern approach to orthodontics that uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position. Whether you’re an adult seeking a more subtle treatment option or a teen who wants to avoid metal braces, Invisalign can help you achieve a confident, beautiful smile.
Why Choose Invisalign?
Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment. Made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, these clear aligners fit comfortably over your teeth and are designed to be worn 20-22 hours a day. One of the key benefits of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable, giving you the flexibility to eat, drink, and brush your teeth as you normally would — no need to worry about food restrictions or difficulties with oral hygiene.
With Invisalign, there are no metal brackets or wires to irritate your mouth, and you’ll have fewer office visits since you won’t need frequent adjustments. Every few weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners that continue moving your teeth into their desired position, with progress carefully monitored by our experienced team.
How Invisalign Works
The Invisalign process begins with a comprehensive consultation and digital scan using our state-of-the-art iTero scanner. This orthodontic technology creates a precise 3D model of your teeth, allowing us to design a customized treatment plan just for you. We’ll map out the exact movements your teeth will undergo throughout treatment, and you’ll even be able to see a preview of your new smile before you begin.
Once your aligners are ready, you’ll receive a series of aligners to wear, each one slightly different from the last to gradually move your teeth into place. Unlike traditional braces, which require regular in-office adjustments, Invisalign allows for more flexibility, with fewer visits to our office.
Invisalign is an excellent choice for patients of all ages who are looking for a convenient, comfortable, and nearly invisible orthodontic treatment. Whether you’re dealing with mild crowding or more complex alignment issues, our team at Mint Hill Orthodontics will work with you to create a treatment plan that delivers the results you want.
At Mint Hill Orthodontics, we’re committed to making your Invisalign experience as smooth and efficient as possible. From your first consultation to your final results, we’ll be with you every step of the way, ensuring you achieve a stunning, healthy smile that you’ll love for years to come.

Invisalign for Kids
At Mint Hill Orthodontics, we’re excited to offer Invisalign for kids, providing young patients with a comfortable, discreet, and effective solution for early orthodontic care. Early orthodontic treatment is crucial for addressing potential issues while your child’s mouth and jaw are still developing. Invisalign for kids, sometimes called Invisalign First, is specifically designed for younger patients, offering a gentle and non-invasive way to guide the growth of their teeth and jaws.
Why Early Orthodontic Treatment Matters
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by the age of 7. Early treatment can help prevent more complex orthodontic problems down the road by addressing issues like crowding, spacing, or bite misalignment early on. By guiding the development of your child’s smile, we can help avoid the need for more extensive treatment later in life and ensure that their teeth and jaws are properly aligned as they grow.
Invisalign for kids works just like traditional Invisalign, using a series of custom-made, clear aligners that gently move the teeth into the correct position. However, Invisalign for younger patients is specially designed to accommodate growing mouths. The aligners are smooth, removable, and virtually invisible, making them a great option for children who may be self-conscious about wearing braces.
One of the major benefits of Invisalign for kids is the flexibility it provides. The aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, which makes maintaining good oral hygiene much easier. Plus, since the aligners are clear, they’re less noticeable than traditional braces, allowing kids to feel more confident throughout their treatment.
Setting the Stage for a Beautiful Smile
Invisalign for kids is an excellent option for early orthodontic treatment, helping to correct issues at a young age and prevent more serious problems in the future. At Mint Hill Orthodontics, we’re dedicated to providing a personalized approach to each child’s treatment plan, ensuring they receive the best possible care for their unique needs.
Invisalign for Teens
At Mint Hill Orthodontics, we know that the teenage years are a time of change and growth, and we want to help teens feel confident and comfortable with their smiles. Invisalign for teens offers a modern, discreet alternative to traditional braces, allowing teens to straighten their teeth without metal brackets and wires. With clear aligners that are nearly invisible, Invisalign for teens fits seamlessly into a busy lifestyle, providing an effective and convenient solution for achieving a beautiful smile.
Why Teens Love Invisalign
Invisalign for teens uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners that gently shift teeth into their ideal positions. One of the key reasons teens love Invisalign is that the aligners are virtually invisible, so they can straighten their teeth without feeling self-conscious. Whether at school, sports practice, or hanging out with friends, Invisalign allows teens to maintain their natural appearance throughout treatment.
Another big advantage of Invisalign for teens is the flexibility it offers. The aligners are removable, so teens can take them out when eating, drinking, brushing, or flossing. This means no food restrictions and no difficulty maintaining good oral hygiene — something that’s often a challenge with traditional braces. Invisalign allows teens to enjoy their favorite foods and maintain their dental health with ease.
Designed for the Teen Lifestyle
Invisalign for teens is specially designed to accommodate the unique needs of teenage patients. The aligners come with blue compliance indicators — small dots that fade over time, helping parents and orthodontists track whether the aligners are being worn as directed. This feature ensures that teens stay on track with their treatment, even with a busy schedule.
Additionally, Invisalign for teens is designed to adapt to the natural growth of a teen’s mouth. If there are still teeth that haven’t fully erupted, the aligners will take that into account, ensuring that the treatment plan is effective and tailored to the teen’s needs.
With Invisalign for teens, there are fewer office visits compared to traditional braces, as there are no wires to tighten or brackets to adjust. Teens can continue to focus on school, activities, and social events without frequent interruptions for orthodontic appointments. Plus, the aligners are easy to manage, making the process simple and convenient for both teens and parents.
At Mint Hill Orthodontics, we are committed to making the Invisalign journey as smooth and enjoyable as possible for our teen patients. With Invisalign for teens, your child can achieve a confident, healthy smile that will boost their self-esteem and enhance their appearance — without the challenges that come with traditional braces.
Invisalign for Adults
At Mint Hill Orthodontics, we believe it’s never too late to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Invisalign for adults is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that allows you to straighten your teeth without the hassle and visibility of traditional braces. With clear, comfortable aligners, Invisalign offers a discreet and flexible option for adults looking to enhance their smile and improve their oral health.
Many adults hesitate to get orthodontic treatment because they don’t want to wear noticeable braces. Invisalign changes that by offering nearly invisible aligners that allow you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your treatment. Whether you’re dealing with mild alignment issues or more complex cases, Invisalign can correct a wide range of problems, including crowding, gaps, overbites, and underbites.
Invisalign isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about improving your oral health, too. Misaligned teeth can cause difficulties with chewing, speech, and cleaning, which can lead to gum disease or tooth decay. By straightening your teeth with Invisalign, you can improve your bite, reduce the risk of dental problems, and enjoy a healthier, more functional smile.
How Invisalign Works for Adults
Invisalign for adults is designed to be as simple and effective as possible. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we’ll create a custom treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan maps out the exact movements of your teeth and provides a visual preview of how your smile will look after treatment. Once your aligners are made, you’ll wear each set for about one to two weeks, gradually moving your teeth into their desired positions.
The aligners are made of smooth, BPA-free plastic that is comfortable to wear throughout the day. They’re also removable, so you can take them out when eating, brushing, or flossing, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene compared to traditional braces. You won’t have to worry about food restrictions or difficulties cleaning around brackets and wires.
The Convenience of Invisalign for Adults
One of the greatest benefits of Invisalign for adults is its convenience. Unlike traditional braces that require frequent adjustments, Invisalign typically requires fewer office visits. With no metal brackets or wires to adjust, you can enjoy a more flexible treatment schedule that fits into your busy life.
Invisalign is also ideal for adults who want to maintain a professional appearance during their treatment. Whether you’re at work, attending social events, or participating in everyday activities, Invisalign allows you to straighten your teeth discreetly and confidently. Most people won’t even notice you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment, giving you the freedom to smile and speak naturally.
If you’re looking to correct minor aesthetic issues quickly, Invisalign can deliver fast results. Many adults opt for Invisalign to fix mild misalignments before big life events, such as weddings, reunions, or professional milestones. Invisalign is designed to provide efficient, effective treatment, and many adults complete their treatment within 12 to 18 months, though individual results may vary.
At Mint Hill Orthodontics, we understand the unique needs of our adult patients, and we’re dedicated to providing a personalized, discreet orthodontic experience through Invisalign. With its convenience, comfort, and effectiveness, Invisalign for adults is the ideal solution for achieving a beautiful, healthy smile without the hassle of traditional braces.
