About OrthoFX Clear Aligners

You’ve probably heard of Invisalign® and other brand name clear aligner orthodontic treatment systems. But at Cary Smiles, we stay at the forefront of cutting-edge developments in the orthodontics field to bring our patients the latest innovations. We recommend OrthoFX™ clear aligners to achieve your perfect smile. This system brings our patients the best in clear aligner orthodontic treatment and makes teeth straightening easy and convenient. Explore our OrthoFX™ clear aligner options below to find the one that fits your lifestyle and helps you achieve the confident, beautiful smile you deserve.

For those looking for a complete smile transformation, FXClear™ Aligners deliver results that live up to their name—virtually invisible while effectively straightening your teeth. They are worn for twenty-two hours a day and removed only for eating and brushing. Built with patented MultiShell™ construction and scalloped edges for maximum comfort, FXClear™ Aligners blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Plus, their stain-resistant material means you can enjoy dark beverages without worry.

AirFlex™ Aligners are perfect for patients who want a discreet treatment option without the commitment of full-time wear. They are currently the only FDA-approved clear aligners designed for a continuous wear-time of nine to twelve hours per day. This means no disruptions to your normal daily routine—simply wear them while you sleep. Made with HyperElastic™ Polymer, AirFlex™ Aligners deliver sustained, optimal force retention to gently move your teeth while remaining compliance-friendly and comfortable.

Similar to other leading clear aligner systems, FXBright™ Aligners are worn for about twenty-two hours per day. What sets them apart is their patented MultiShell™ construction with scalloped edges, providing an improved fit and exceptional comfort. The translucent material naturally enhances your smile by making your teeth appear whiter and subtly concealing minor imperfections—even from your very first set of aligners.

The Clear Aligner Orthodontic Treatment Process At Cary Smiles

Cary Smiles values our patients’ time and strives to make your clear aligner orthodontic treatment easy and convenient. Here is what you can expect your process to look like with Dr. Shah and our team:

First, you will have a consultation with Dr. Shah during which he will evaluate your mouth, teeth and bite. This appointment may involve dental X-rays, if Dr. Shah feels we need to get a closer look at your dental health.

If Dr. Shah determines that you are a good candidate for clear aligner orthodontic treatment, he will create a customized plan for you.

The Cary Smiles team will take digital impressions of your teeth using our Trios 5 scanner. This high-tech technology promises comfortable scans that are completely goop-free, unlike traditional impressions. It also has digital smile design capabilities to help visualize your final results. Your impressions are then sent to a lab where your OrthoFX trays will be tailor-made just for your smile!

Once your aligners arrive at our office, Dr. Shah will check the fit and begin treatment. You will wear your OrthoFX aligners every week, switching to a new pair as you progress through your treatment timeline.

We will continue to track your progress and make any necessary adjustments along the way. If you follow along with Dr. Shah’s treatment instructions, you should have no problems at all!

Benefits of Clear Aligner Orthodontic Treatment

At Cary Smiles, we love using OrthoFX clear aligners to help our patients discover their dream smile. Here are just a few of the reasons our Cary Smiles patients enjoy our clear aligner orthodontic treatment option and why we recommend OrthoFX over Invisalign®:

Brackets and wires from traditional braces tend to irritate the cheek and gums, but thanks to the smooth proprietary material of the OrthoFx aligners, you don’t have to worry about that!

The only time you need to come into the Cary Smiles office is to pick up your trays. Otherwise, Dr. Shah can track your smile progress virtually with the FXOnTrack App.

The clear design allows the trays to blend in with your natural teeth, creating a discreet appearance.

The OrthoFX aligners exert an exact amount of pressure, bringing you closer to your final results each time you switch to a new pair. When compared to other options such as Invisalign®, the result is faster clear aligner orthodontic treatment and more predictable results!

Since the trays are removable, you are free to eat what you want without worrying about damaging your appliances.

You can take the trays out when you need to for eating, drinking and playing sports or musical instruments.
