Invisalign is the popular line of clear aligners that have straightened millions of teeth! Invisalign is custom-designed to fit your teeth and straighten them quickly, with almost no visibility! With the new Invisalign First, even your young child can get straight teeth without all the metal!
We get it: you want the smile of your dreams, but you don't want a "mouthful of metal" to get it. We have the perfect solution: Invisalign. These clear aligners are customized to your teeth and will straighten them as efficiently and as quickly as (sometimes faster than!) braces but without the metal. Connolly Orthodontics is a proud provider of Invisalign!
With Invisalign, you can remove the clear aligners for easier brushing and flossing than with braces. Unlike braces, you have no food restrictions. When you're not eating, brushing, or flossing, your Invisalign will be repairing your smile with almost no visibility! You can show off your new smile even during treatment. Come into Connolly Orthodontics and find out whether Invisalign is right for you!
Invisalign is one of the most popular clear aligners for a reason — it's clinically proven to straighten teeth and provide a gorgeous smile in a matter of months. Invisalign is easy to use: Simply wear them 22 hours a day, removing them only to brush and floss your teeth, eat, or drink. They're easy to clean and easy to remove. You'll be able to see the difference your Invisalign makes throughout your treatment!
"This is the BEST orthodontist in the city of Charlotte. The staff is extremely friendly and makes you feel like family. Dr. Connolly always have great energy, always happy, and truly care for his patients."
"They take the time to explain all of the details and best treatment for my daughters in a way that is easy to understand. My daughters enjoy going to their appointments and I highly recommend for you to check them out and see if they are the right fit for you and your family."
"The staff is super kind and accommodating and my son picked Connolly because he was willing to explain the why and how of the process. They've taken amazing care of my son and his teeth are looking SO nice!"
"As soon as I walk in they greet me by my first name. I love that they are willing to accommodate my schedule preferences instead of giving me a random appointment and sending me out the door like so many other medical facilities. Plus I'm always in and out with almost no wait."
"Absolutely love the friendly and clean environment. Everyone is so nice, comforting, and professional."
Invisalign isn't for everyone. Those with multiple severe dental issues may do better with braces than with Invisalign. But Invisalign can repair more issues than you expect. During your free initial examination, we'll give you a thorough examination to determine whether Invisalign is right for you.
Treatment with Invisalign does cost a bit more than treatment with metal braces. However, many patients find that the near invisibility, the lack of food restrictions, and the faster treatment time are worth a little extra price! Plus, Connolly Orthodontics offers several financing options to help you pay for your Invisalign!
Invisalign clear aligners are customized to your teeth, so they fit perfectly. The trays use gentle pressure to move your teeth closer to the correct positions. You'll get new trays every 1-2 weeks that will move your teeth further. Treatment will continue until you get the smile you've always wanted!
Wisdom teeth won't deter your ability to get Invisalign. They can become a part of your treatment plan, which means you may not have to have them extracted to get the smile you want.
Invisalign treatment can vary, depending on the severity of your dental issues. On average, treatment with Invisalign can last 9-15 months.
Unlike braces, Invisalign has no food restrictions! That's because you remove your Invisalign before you eat or drink colored liquids (coffee, tea, soda, fruit juice, etc.). After eating, you rinse your Invisalign before putting them back into your mouth.
Both Invisalign and braces can create excellent results for teens — the best choice depends on your teen’s lifestyle and treatment needs. Invisalign is great for responsible teens who want a discreet, removable option, while braces may be the better choice for more complex cases or for teens who might forget to wear aligners consistently.
Read our full Invisalign vs. braces guide for teens to help compare both options.
Many adults prefer Invisalign because it’s discreet, removable, and easy to fit into a busy lifestyle. Braces may be recommended for more complex orthodontic needs or for adults who want a highly supervised, hands-on approach. Both options are effective — the right choice depends on your goals and daily routine.

Invisalign attachments are small, tooth-colored shapes that help your aligners grip the teeth more effectively. They make certain movements faster and more precise, especially for rotations, bite correction, or stubborn teeth. Attachments are comfortable, barely noticeable, and a normal part of most Invisalign plans.
