Invisalign in Charlotte North Carolina - Dr. Gregory Valeriano

About Invisalign®


About invisalign



Dr. Valeriano is a Certified Invisalign ™ Provider in Charlotte North Carolina (NC).


Invisalign can help you achieve the beautiful smile you've always wanted – without braces. No metal, no fuss, just a clear path to straighter teeth in no time! A complimentary consultation with Dr. Valeriano will determine if Invisalign is right for you. Dr. Valeriano is proud to be an Invisalign Premier Provider, a designation that places him among the top 5% of Invisalign providers in the country. Visit him today to discover the benefits of Invisalign for yourself.



What is it?


The Invisalign System™ is a series of clear, removable, comfortable aligners that are virtually undetectable. In fact, no one will even know that you're wearing braces! So you can smile more during treatment and enjoy your beautiful new smile long after. Your entire Invisalign series is created though the use of 3-D computer imaging technology, and has been proven effective with patients worldwide. More than 70% of orthodontists in the US and Canada are certified to treat with Invisalign, but not all can say with confidence that they are one of Invisalign's® Premier Providers. With Dr. Valeriano, you know that you are receiving the best Invisalign treatment around!



About Invisalign®

Why would I want it?

Not only are aligners invisible, they are also removable, making for a more comfortable and convenient orthodontic experience. Unlike traditional braces, aligners can be removed at any time, allowing patients to eat and drink with ease, plus brushing and flossing are no problem. And, with no metal to cause mouth abrasions, Invisalign is the most comfortable orthodontic treatment available. In addition, the lack of metal and wire typically means that you spend less time in your doctor's office for adjustments. Invisalign also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start, so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete. Imagine knowing how great your smile will look even before your treatment is done – now that should keep you motivated!




How does it work?


Invisalign patients wear each set of aligners for approximately two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position Dr. Valeriano has prescribed. You'll visit Dr. Valeriano about once every six weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages nine to 15 months, and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case. Just visit Dr. Valeriano for your complimentary evaluation to see what he prescribes for you.



Discover the many benefits of Invisalign by scheduling your appointment today! For those who truly desire straighter teeth, but cringe at the thought of metal and wire, Invisalign is clearly better!
