Both Invisalign and ClearCorrect are clear aligner systems that gradually straighten teeth using a series of custom-made, removable trays. Invisalign is the longest-established brand, uses its proprietary SmartTrack material, and has the largest library of treatment data. ClearCorrect is owned by Straumann and is often priced slightly lower, with a more conservative trim line. For most adult cases the clinical results are similar - at your free consultation we'll recommend the system that's best suited to your specific bite.

Most adult Invisalign cases take 12 to 18 months, and many minor cases can be completed in as little as 6 months. Treatment length depends on how much movement is needed and how consistently you wear your aligners (22+ hours per day).

In Asheville area, Invisalign treatment typically costs between $4,000 and $7,500, depending on case complexity and treatment length. We offer free consultations, transparent pricing, and 0% interest monthly payment plans. Most dental insurance plans with orthodontic coverage will help offset the cost.

For most mild-to-moderate cases, Invisalign delivers results comparable to braces. For complex bite issues, severe rotations, or significant vertical tooth movement, traditional braces may still be more predictable. At your free consultation, we'll review your scans and let you know honestly whether Invisalign is the right choice for your case.

Most dental insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits cover Invisalign the same way they cover traditional braces. We verify your insurance before treatment starts and apply the maximum benefit to your treatment cost. HSA and FSA funds are also accepted.

Wear your aligners at least 22 hours per day. They should only come out for eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing your teeth. Compliance is the single biggest factor in finishing treatment on time.

Yes. Invisalign Teen is designed specifically for younger patients and includes blue compliance indicators that fade with wear, plus replacement aligners in case any are lost or broken. Most teens with mild-to-moderate alignment issues are good candidates.
