Invisalign

New advancements in orthodontics make it possible to have braces which are practically invisible! Dr. Sellers is pleased to offer Invisalign braces in the Charlotte, NC areas.

Invisalign® is a state-of-the-art alternative to braces that is virtually undetectable to other people.  Invisalign straightens your teeth with a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called “aligners” – no brackets or wire!

Invisalign in Charlotte, NCInvisalign uses incredible three-dimensional computer imaging technology to create your aligners.  Dr. Sellers will be able to determine if Invisalign is right for you at your consultation.  Once this has been determined, a precise treatment plan is developed.  Invisalign uses their cutting-edge technology to translate this treatment plan into a sequence of finely calibrated aligners.  Dr. Sellers has been recognized with the Century Award from Invisalign for his contributions in the field of orthodontics.  He is one of the top providers in the United States.

Patients wear each aligner two weeks, removing it only for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing.  As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth will move gradually — millimeter by millimeter, week by week — to the final state of alignment as prescribed by Dr. Sellers.

  • Our staff teleconferences quarterly with over 300 participating Invisalign Specialists across the United States to share information regarding the advancements in this new modality.
  • We have attended advanced training courses offered by Invisalign in Charlotte, NC and were selected to attend the Summit in Las Vegas.  Only a small number of Invisalign providers are invited to this important meeting.

How often will I have appointments with Dr. Sellers?

How do I prevent my teeth from moving after Invisalign treatment?
You will need to wear retainers following treatment whether you have been treated with Invisalign or conventional braces.  We recommend that you wear retainers indefinitely (just at night).  Studies have proven that teeth will always tend to move throughout your life.  Sleeping in your retainers will ensure that you have a beautiful smile and a healthy bite for life.
