Invisalign in Fort Mill, SC
Straighten Your Smile with Clear, Comfortable Aligners
If you’ve been dreaming of a straighter smile but want to avoid the look and feel of traditional braces, Invisalign offers a discreet, effective solution. At Core Dentistry, we provide customized Invisalign treatment for teens and adults looking to improve their alignment without metal brackets or wires.
Led by Dr. Elizabeth Alexander, DMD FAGD and Dr. Erika Burley, DMD, our Fort Mill practice helps patients achieve healthy, confident smiles through modern orthodontic care that fits your lifestyle.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a system of clear, removable aligners designed to gradually shift your teeth into better alignment. Each aligner is custom-made using digital 3D scans and is changed out every one to two weeks as your smile progresses.
Invisalign can correct a wide range of orthodontic issues, including:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
- Mild to moderate malocclusion (improper bite)
Because Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed at any time, many patients find them more convenient and comfortable than traditional braces.
How Invisalign Works
At Core Dentistry, your Invisalign journey begins with a personalized consultation and treatment plan. Here’s what you can expect:
- Digital Impressions with iTero Scanner
We’ll take highly accurate, 3D digital impressions of your teeth using our in-house iTero digital scanner—no messy trays required. - Custom Treatment Plan
Using Invisalign’s proprietary software, we’ll map out your step-by-step transformation and show you a preview of your new smile before treatment even begins. - Wearing Your Aligners
You’ll wear your aligners for 20–22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink (except water), brush, and floss. You’ll switch to a new set every one to two weeks as directed. - Progress Checks
We’ll monitor your progress with quick visits every 6–8 weeks, ensuring your teeth are moving as planned.
Invisalign treatment typically lasts between 6 and 18 months, depending on the complexity of your case.
Why Patients Choose Invisalign
- Discreet Appearance – The clear aligners are barely noticeable, making them a popular choice for adults and teens.
- No Dietary Restrictions – Simply remove your aligners to enjoy the foods you love.
- Easy Oral Hygiene – Brushing and flossing are simple since there are no brackets or wires to clean around.
- Comfortable Fit – Made from SmartTrack material, Invisalign aligners are smooth and gentle on the gums.

Invisalign is also an excellent option for patients interested in cosmetic dentistry or smile makeovers as part of their treatment goals.

FAQs About Invisalign
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case, but most patients complete Invisalign in 6 to 18 months.
Is Invisalign painful?
Invisalign is generally more comfortable than braces. You may experience slight pressure when starting a new set of aligners, but this is a sign that the treatment is working.
Can I eat while wearing my aligners?
No. You should remove your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water. This helps prevent staining and ensures proper fit.
Do I need to wear a retainer after Invisalign?
Yes. Just like with braces, you’ll need to wear a retainer after completing Invisalign to maintain your new smile and prevent teeth from shifting.
Is Invisalign covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans offer partial coverage for orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign. We’ll help you understand your benefits and financing options before you begin.
