Invisalign

Here at Smiles of Cary, we offer you experience, advanced technology, and the latest Invisalign braces treatments to give you a more comfortable, faster straight smile without having to wear traditional metal braces. You can see results in as little as 12 months. If you are looking for straighter, more beautiful teeth, you might want to consider Invisalign.

What is Invisalign?

Our Cary, NC dentist, Dr. Charles Ferzli, B.Sc., D.D.S., DABCP, DABCP-CDSM, creates a series of clear plastic aligners that move your teeth gradually. These aligners are generated through a computer program and are custom-fit for your mouth and teeth. Invisalign clear braces are recommended if you have mild to moderate crowding or spacing. They are comfortable and easy to wear and virtually unnoticeable'.

Why Choose Invisalign Braces?

You don't just get invisible aligners either; you also get removable aligners so you can eat and drink whatever you want and brush and floss as normal. There are no metal brackets or wires filling your mouth, which means fewer visits to Dr. Ferzli. You can even take a peek at your own virtual treatment plan before you begin treatment to see what your teeth will look like after treatment.

Give our Cary, NC dental office a call at 919-462-3350 to set up your initial consultation with Dr. Ferzli to have your questions answered. Within 12 months of choosing Invisalign braces, you can be proud of your brand new smile. Contact us today to see if you are a good candidate for Invisalign braces.

Choosing the Right Mouthwash

Mouthwash or rinses are used for a variety of reasons: to freshen breath, to help prevent or control tooth decay, to reduce plaque, to prevent or reduce gingivitis, to reduce the speed that tartar forms on the teeth, or to produce a combination of these effects.  Mouthwash has a few beneficial properties and Dr. Charles Ferzli of Smiles of Cary would like to explain some of them.

• Antimicrobial agents act directly on oral bacteria to help reduce plaque, decrease the severity of gingivitis and control bad breath.


• Fluoride helps reduce tiny lesions (tooth decay) on tooth enamel and make teeth more resistant to decay.


• Astringent salts can serve as temporary deodorizers that mask bad breath.


• Odor neutralizers act by chemically inactivating odor causing compounds.

Importance of a Maintaining a Healthy Mouth

If you maintain an excellent oral hygiene routine, it results in a mouth that looks and smells healthy. This means your teeth are clean and free of debris, your gums are pink and do not hurt or bleed when you brush or floss, and bad breath is not a constant problem. At Smiles of Cary in Cary, NC Dr. Charles Ferzli and his team of hygienists take pride in teaching proper oral hygiene techniques to patients. Additionally, they will point out areas of your mouth that may require extra attention while brushing and flossing at home.  

Taking good care of your mouth – teeth and gums – does more than help ensure you have a bright, white, smile. The mouth is the doorway to our body and its first line of defense. It performs essential functions than any other part of the body. Good oral hygiene and oral health can improve your overall health, reducing the risk of serious disease and perhaps even preserving your memory in your golden years. When your mouth is unhealthy, your body will feel the effects in many ways and your health in general, will suffer. In between regular visits to the dentist, you should be brushing thoroughly twice a day, flossing daily, eating a balanced diet and limiting snacks between meals, as well as using dental products that are approved by the American Dental Association (ADA).
