Invisalign clear aligners straighten teeth with a removable, nearly invisible system built for real life! At Pittman Family Orthodontics, Dr. Joseph Pittman (or “Dr. P”) designs Invisalign treatment for kids, teens, and adults in Fuquay-Varina, Apex, Holly Springs, Angier, Willow Springs, and surrounding communities. As a board-certified orthodontist with an engineering background, Dr. P brings detail, artistry, and precision to every treatment plan. Pittman Family Orthodontics is a Platinum Invisalign Provider, reflecting our experience as one of the highest-volume Invisalign providers in the area.
Invisalign® is an orthodontic treatment method that moves your teeth through a series of custom plastic trays called “aligners.” Each aligner is created from a digital scan and worn in sequence to guide your teeth toward better alignment. Unlike braces, aligners are removable, so you can take them out to eat, brush, and floss.
Pittman Family Orthodontics offers Invisalign aligners for all ages because they are a trusted option for many orthodontic cases. During your complimentary consultation, Dr. Pittman will evaluate your smile, explain whether aligners fit your needs, and walk you through the treatment plan before you decide if they are right for you.
The pros of Invisalign are clear – literally! Invisalign clear aligners make orthodontic treatment easier to fit into your routine. They can improve smile appearance, bite function, oral hygiene, and confidence without brackets or wires. For many patients, aligners offer the right balance of discretion, comfort, and control.
Invisalign aligners are made from a strong, clear plastic material that fits closely over your teeth. Most people can wear them at school, work, and social events without drawing attention to treatment. Tooth-colored attachments may be needed for certain movements, but the aligners as a whole are designed to stay subtle.
Clear aligners are removed for meals, so you do not need to avoid hard or sticky foods the way you would with braces. Brushing and flossing also stay simple because you can clean your teeth without working around brackets or wires. This makes daily hygiene easier to maintain.
Every Invisalign plan is built around your teeth, your bite, and your goals. Pittman Family Orthodontics uses digital scanning and doctor-led treatment planning to create aligners designed for predictable movement. We also do same-day scans for Invisalign, allowing you to get started on a brand new smile sooner!
We offer Invisalign options for growing kids, busy teens, and adults who want a discreet way to improve their smile:
Invisalign First is designed for younger patients who may benefit from early orthodontic guidance. It can help create space, support developing arches, and address certain alignment concerns while a child is still growing. Dr. P will only recommend early treatment when there is a real reason to begin.
Invisalign gives active teens a flexible option that fits into school, sports, music, photos, and everyday life. The aligners are removable for meals and brushing, which can make hygiene easier during treatment. Success depends on consistent wear, so our team helps teens understand the plan and stay on track.
Invisalign is a popular choice for adult patients who want to straighten their teeth without visible braces. Many adults appreciate the discreet appearance, removable design, and easier cleaning routine. During your consultation, Dr. P will evaluate your bite and explain whether aligners can deliver the result you want.
Orthodontists complete additional residency training focused on how teeth move, how bites fit together, and how the jaws develop. That extra training can be especially helpful with Invisalign because treatment is about more than just straightening the front teeth. As a board-certified orthodontist and Platinum Invisalign Provider, Dr. P brings both specialty training and experience treating a high volume of clear aligner cases. He looks at the full picture to create a plan that supports both a great-looking smile and a healthy bite.
Braces may be a better fit than Invisalign when certain tooth movements require more control or when consistent aligner wear may prove difficult. Pittman Family Orthodontics offers metal braces and clear self-ligating braces for patients who need or prefer a fixed option. Clear braces can be a strong alternative for patients who want a less noticeable treatment but are not ideal Invisalign candidates.

On average, treatment time ranges from 6 – 18 months, but ultimately depends on your alignment needs, bite, and how consistently you wear your aligners. Some cases are simple, while others require more detailed movement. Dr. P will estimate your timeline after your complimentary consultation and digital records.
Patients usually need to wear Invisalign aligners 20–22 hours per day, depending on the treatment plan. Aligners only move teeth when they are worn as directed, so it’s important to wear your aligners for as long as prescribed.
