A straighter smile without the hassle of brackets and wires? That’s exactly what Invisalign offers, and it’s changing the way people think about orthodontic care! Dr. Cox and the team at Evan Cox Orthodontics provide this clear aligner system to help patients in Franklin and Lewisburg achieve confident smiles with more flexibility than traditional braces. But how does Invisalign work, and what makes it a popular choice? Let’s break down the process step by step.
A Clearer Path to a Better Smile
Let’s be honest—traditional braces aren’t for everyone. Maybe the thought of metal brackets and wires doesn’t sound appealing, or you just want something that’s a little more under the radar. That’s where clear aligners (like Invisalign and 3M Clarity Aligners) come in. Dr. Cox and the team at Evan Cox Orthodontics use these clear, custom-made trays to shift your teeth into place without the hassle of brackets or wires. They fit snugly, work behind the scenes, and give you more freedom while still delivering the results you want.
One of the biggest perks? They’re removable. That means you can enjoy your favorite burgers at Puckett’s in Franklin or grab your favorite barbecue at Ziffel’s Barbecue in Lewisburg without stressing about food getting stuck. Plus, brushing and flossing? Way easier. But how does this whole process actually work? Let’s break it down step-by-step.
How Does Invisalign Actually Work?
It’s not magic, but it’s pretty close! Dr. Cox and the team at Evan Cox Orthodontics use 3D imaging to create a treatment plan just for you, making the process smooth and stress-free.
Step 1: Consultation & Scans
At your first visit to our Franklin or Lewisburg office, Dr. Cox will take digital scans (no goopy impressions!) to map out your teeth and determine if Invisalign is the right choice.
Step 2: Custom Treatment Plan
Using advanced software, we’ll design a step-by-step plan to shift your teeth gradually. You’ll even see a digital preview of your future smile before treatment begins.
Step 3: Getting Your Aligners
A few weeks later, your first set of aligners will be ready. These smooth, BPA-free trays fit snugly over your teeth and apply gentle pressure to move them over time.
Step 4: Wearing & Switching Aligners
Wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day, switching to a new set every one to two weeks.
Step 5: Check-Ins & Final Results
Dr. Cox will monitor your progress with occasional visits. Once treatment is complete, you’ll receive a custom retainer to maintain your new smile.
Now that you know the process, let’s talk about why so many people in Franklin and Lewisburg prefer Invisalign over braces!
Why So Many People Choose Invisalign
Franklin and Lewisburg are packed with people on the go—whether it’s catching a show at the Franklin Theatre or enjoying a weekend at the Goats, Music & More Festival. Invisalign makes it easy to straighten your teeth without slowing down your life. Here’s why it’s such a popular choice.
A Subtle Way to Straighten Teeth
No one has to know you’re wearing them unless you tell them! The clear design keeps your treatment low-key, making them a great option for professionals, teens, and anyone who wants to keep their orthodontic care under wraps.
More Freedom, Less Hassle
Do you love Franklin’s hot chicken or a burger from JJ’s Barbecue near Lewisburg? No problem! Since aligners are removable, there are no food restrictions—just take them out before eating, then pop them back in when you’re done.
Easier Oral Care
With braces, brushing and flossing around brackets can be a challenge. Invisalign lets you stick to your normal routine, keeping your teeth and gums healthy throughout treatment.
Fewer Office Visits
Life’s busy, and Invisalign makes orthodontic care more convenient. While regular check-ins with Dr. Cox are still important, there are fewer in-office visits compared to traditional braces.
Now that we’ve covered the benefits, let’s see how Evan Cox Orthodontics makes Invisalign treatment even more convenient for Franklin and Lewisburg locals!
How Cox Orthodontics Makes Invisalign Even More Convenient

With Invisalign and Evan Cox Orthodontics working together, transforming your smile has never been easier. So, what’s next after treatment? Let’s talk about the final step—keeping your new smile in place!
Keeping Your Smile in Place After Invisalign
You’ve put in the time, worn your aligners, and watched your smile transform—so what’s next?
Keeping it that way! Without a retainer, your teeth can shift over time, and nobody wants to undo months of progress. Dr. Cox offers both removable and fixed retainers to help keep your smile right where it should be. Removable retainers are worn at night, while fixed retainers stay discreetly bonded behind your teeth for long-term stability. Most patients start with full-time wear before switching to nights only. And if you ever lose yours? Evan Cox Orthodontics has you covered with a quick replacement.
