Invisalign® in Raleigh, NC
A clearer way to straighten your smile at City of Oaks Dental.
What Is Invisalign® Treatment?
A simple way to straighten your teeth.
Invisalign® treatment uses a series of clear aligners to move teeth little by little. These Invisalign® aligners fit over your teeth and are custom made for your mouth. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® clear aligners do not use metal brackets or wires. You can remove your aligners for eating, brushing, and flossing.
At City of Oaks Dental in Raleigh, NC, our dentist and team use Invisalign® treatment for adults and teens who want a straighter smile with more convenience. Your treatment plan is built around your teeth, bite, goals, and lifestyle. Invisalign® treatment works by helping each tooth move toward its final position over time.
Benefits of Invisalign® in Raleigh, NC

Your orthodontic treatment is mapped before you begin, and the aligners are designed to fit comfortably and guide predictable movement.
Step 3: Wear Each Set as Directed
You will wear your aligners each day, and we will show you how to wear them well and move to the next set as instructed, often about every two weeks. Some visits may be spaced several weeks apart. After Invisalign® treatment, a retainer helps protect your new smile transformation. This final step helps you achieve lasting results.
