At Max Dental Studio in Durham, NC, your Invisalign® journey is guided by the years of experience and heart for precision of Dr. Silvia Pithan. Her patient-centered approach delivers a personalized, comfortable experience. Using cutting-edge technology like intraoral scanners and high-definition photography, she crafts your custom aligners with meticulous precision. From your complimentary consultation to your final reveal, our team provides expert treatment, transparent financial planning, and supportive care to ensure your Invisalign® journey delivers a beautifully straight smile you’re proud to share.
Invisalign®’s clear aligners straighten your teeth without the obvious appearance of metal braces.
Removable aligners allow you eat and drink whatever you love. Simply take them out and pop them back in when you’re finished.
Because the aligners are removable, you may participate in activities that traditional wire braces may restrict.
Each aligner is custom-made to fit precisely over your teeth. It gently shifts your teeth with smooth, BPA-free plastic—no wires, no bleeding, no discomfort.
No special brushing required. Remove your aligners, follow your usual oral hygiene routine, and put the aligners back in place.
Straighter teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of chipping, decay, gingivitis, and gum disease.
It’s simple and free to see if Invisalign® will work for you or your teen. During your consultation, Dr. Pithan will assess your oral health and analyze whether Invisalign® is the best treatment solution for your specific smile.
Your journey to a beautifully straight smile begins with a tailored treatment plan. Dr. Pithan uses detailed images of your teeth to map out your Invisalign® treatment. Your plan will detail the length of treatment, the expected results and financial arrangements for care. Treatment is typically completed within a year.
When your new aligners are ready, we will walk you through the simple process of wearing them. Your custom Invisalign® aligners, made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, are specifically designed to fit comfortably around your teeth. You’ll wear them for about 20–22 hours a day, removing them for eating, drinking, or engaging in activities where removal is helpful.
As each Invisalign® aligner gently moves your teeth into position, you will need to switch to a new next-step aligner about every two weeks. Each aligner is precision crafted and designed to build upon the previous aligner to shift your teeth about 0.2mm per set. With each new aligner, you will begin to see your teeth move closer and closer to their final destination. Dr. Pithan will monitor your progress with regular check-ins to ensure everything is moving on track.
Once your treatment is complete, you’ll be showing off your confident, straight smile! A follow-up retainer should be worn after treatment. These retainers can also serve as bite guards, helping prevent teeth from shifting back while protecting the TMJ and reducing tooth wear.
