Your smile says something before you speak a word. If crowded teeth, a gap you’ve been hiding, or slowly shifting alignment has made you less willing to show it — Dr. Bailey Munson at Anchored Family Dental has a path forward that fits your life.
We offer Invisalign and custom clear aligner therapy right here in Davidson, NC, for patients who want the results of orthodontic treatment without the metal brackets, wire adjustments, and frequent office visits that traditional braces demand. From your first scan to your final retainer, everything is managed by Dr. Munson personally.
Invisalign vs. Generic Clear Aligners — What's the Difference?
Invisalign is the most clinically studied aligner system available, with over 15 million treated patients. The trays are made from SmartTrack® material, which provides more consistent tooth-moving force than standard aligner plastic — more predictable movement and often a shorter total treatment time.
At Anchored Family Dental, we use Invisalign and comparable precision aligner systems depending on what each case requires. If Invisalign is the right fit for your teeth, we’ll use it. If a different system produces a better clinical result at a better price, we’ll recommend that instead. The outcome matters more than the brand.
What Can Clear Aligners Treat?
- Crowded teeth — overlapping or rotated teeth that are harder to keep clean
- Gaps and spacing — including spaces that have widened gradually over years
- Mild-to-moderate overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- Open bite — where front teeth don't close properly
- Orthodontic relapse — teeth that have drifted after previous braces
Cases with significant skeletal misalignment may require an orthodontic referral. Dr. Munson will be direct about whether your case is appropriate for aligner therapy before you invest.

How Invisalign Fits Into Your Overall Oral Health
Straighter teeth aren’t just a cosmetic win — they’re easier to clean and less prone to uneven wear. We often coordinate aligner treatment alongside preventative care and, when the case calls for it, finishing touches through cosmetic dentistry like whitening or bonding once alignment is complete.

FAQ — Clear Aligners & Invisalign
Is Invisalign available at Anchored Family Dental?
Yes. Dr. Bailey Munson offers Invisalign and custom clear aligner systems. During your free consultation she’ll assess your case and recommend the best option.
How long does Invisalign take?
Most patients complete treatment in 6–18 months. Minor spacing or crowding can finish in as few as 3–6 months. Dr. Munson gives you a realistic timeline at your first visit — not an optimistic estimate designed to close the sale.
Can I get clear aligners if I've had braces before?
Yes. Orthodontic relapse is one of the most common reasons adults seek aligner treatment and it typically responds very well.
Does Invisalign hurt?
There’s usually mild pressure for the first 24–48 hours after switching to a new tray. Most patients describe it as manageable discomfort rather than pain, and ibuprofen handles it well.
Can teenagers get Invisalign?
Yes. Invisalign Teen includes compliance indicator dots on each tray that fade with wear, confirming the aligners are being worn consistently.
What if I lose an aligner?
Call our office right away at (704) 997-3164 or use the contact page. Dr. Munson will advise whether to go back to your previous tray, move forward, or order a replacement.
