Over the last few years, Invisalign has become one of the most effective and popular orthodontic treatments in North Carolina. If you're looking for a comfortable, convenient, and discreet way to realign your teeth, Invisalign should be at the top of your list.
Invisalign is a treatment used by the best orthodontists in Matthews. It straightens patients' teeth without the metal components of traditional braces. Invisalign works by using a variety of custom trays that cover your teeth. These trays gently pull your teeth into proper alignment over time. Each custom tray brings your teeth closer to their final position, resulting in a beautiful smile. Unlike braces, treatment times typically don't exceed two years. Once treatment is complete, you may need a retainer to maintain your new, healthy teeth alignment.
Since they are clear, most patients find Invisalign less noticeable than traditional braces. Unlike metal braces, you can remove Invisalign trays while eating. That way, you don't have to worry about damaging your investment with certain foods like chewing gum. And unlike metal braces, Invisalign options are popular with people of all ages, from teens to adults.
Invisalign works well for patients who have:
For most patients, Invisalign involves a streamlined, three-step process:
With so many innovating teeth straightening options in North Carolina, it can be hard to settle on the best treatment choice for your needs. At Chad Johnson Orthodontics, one of our most asked questions usually involves which treatment is better: traditional braces or Invisalign? Since every patient has different goals and needs, that question isn't always easy to answer.
A younger patient with slightly crooked teeth might benefit from the discreet features of Invisalign. Conversely, an older patient with a severe underbite might benefit more from the reliability of traditional braces.
Keep in mind the following points, which will give you a great knowledge base for orthodontic consultation:
Treatment Length: Invisalign treatment can last from six months to two years. Treatment times for traditional braces usually last from one to three years. Each time frame can vary depending on the severity of the patient's teeth problems.
Orthodontic Visits: With Invisalign, patients visit their Invisalign dentist in Matthews, NC, every three months. Patients can expect to visit every month or every other month when choosing metal braces.
Cleaning: Regular brushing and flossing is recommended for Invisalign patients. A specialized floss threading tool and regular brushing and flossing are recommended for patients with traditional braces.
Benefits: Invisalign is comfortable and discreet. Because trays are removable, there are no food restrictions involved. Traditional braces offer consistent progress, are effective for severe cases, have great reliability, and can be the best choice for patients who are sticking to a strict budget. Ready to learn more about Invisalign from Chad Johnson Orthodontics? Our knowledgeable customer service team is ready and waiting to answer your questions. When you're ready to move forward, we'll get you scheduled for your first consultation. Before you know it, you'll be fitted for Invisalign and on your way to earning a gorgeous smile.
Are you craving a beautiful smile but feel like the time has passed for metal braces? You wouldn't be the first adult to ask that question, and you won't be the last. However, the truth is that roughly 25% of our orthodontic patients are adults, not children. At Chad Johnson Orthodontics, you're never too old for braces!
We want you to know that a stunning, healthy smile is attainable no matter how many birthdays you've had. Our orthodontist in Matthews, NC, offers braces that are perfect for busy working adults. If you decide that adult braces are the way to go, you have plenty of options to consider.
From traditional metal braces that offer reliable results to more popular Invisalign treatments, a new smile is more attainable than you might imagine. During your initial visit at Chad Johnson Orthodontics, your doctor will review all of your treatment options and help you choose a plan best suited to your needs.
Just about everybody understands that a straighter smile is more appealing aesthetically than having unhealthy teeth. However, not everyone knows that properly aligned teeth actually improve your overall oral health. Here are just a few reasons why so many adults in Matthews are changing the way they think about using adult braces:
Better Oral Health: When you have bad oral hygiene, there are a number of concerning health risks to consider. Misaligned teeth can cause bacteria to build up. Over time, harmful bacteria wreak havoc on your teeth, creating problems like tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease. Thankfully, orthodontic treatments are available that can help avoid severe tooth decay, gum recession, and bone loss. You can even reduce and prevent irregular tooth enamel loss stemming from TMD and TMJ.
More Confidence: If you're feeling self-conscious about how your teeth look, you're the only one. Millions of Americans aren't happy with their oral aesthetics. Luckily, adult braces help restore confidence and can give you a smile you're proud to show off. Studies show that when you like the way your teeth look, you'll be more likely to smile. This simple act reduces stress, makes you feel happier, and can even improve your mental health. Plus, it makes people around you feel great too!
Enjoy More Foods: If you have never had serious oral issues, you might not know that eating can be painful with misaligned teeth. Adult braces can straighten your teeth and correct under and overbites for patients with severely crooked or crowded teeth. When you don't have to worry about painful chewing or biting, life is better, and you can enjoy the experience of eating any delicious meal you'd like.
Less Bad Breath: Few things are nastier than someone talking to you with bad breath. We've all been there, but it is never any less embarrassing when someone tries to subtlety offer you a mint. What most folks don't know is that misaligned teeth and bad breath go hand-in-hand. When your teeth are overcrowded or crooked, bacteria find their way between your teeth where toothbrushes can't reach. Over time, that bacteria builds up, and your breath begins to smell. When left unchecked, these bacteria can cause serious oral health problems.
Improved Speech: Having crooked teeth can make you feel self-conscious about your appearance. Unfortunately, they can also affect your day-to-day speech. If you're having problems pronouncing words because your teeth are severely misaligned, adult braces can legitimately change your life. This fact is especially true for working professionals who take part in Zoom calls, speak publicly, or work over the phone. If this sounds like you, speak to our trusted Invisalign orthodontist in Matthews, NC, about discreet ways to improve your speech and oral health at the same time.
Your child's early and teen years are a great time to consider braces. According to The American Association of Orthodontists, the best time for a child to have their first orthodontic treatment is by seven. With early orthodontic treatment, you have the chance to find and correct oral issues before they become more serious. Doing so gives your child a leg-up on other kids their age while saving you time and money in the long run.
The primary goal of early orthodontic treatments is to:
Depending on how your child's teeth develop, they may need additional orthodontic care after their permanent teeth have formed.
A few common orthodontic problems that may require treatment for children include:
The best way to learn whether your child will need early treatment is to consult with your orthodontist in Matthews, NC. Dr. Johnson, Dr. Martin C. Avey, Dr. Alexandra D. Best, and Dr. Neal Patel are all highly trained to spot subtle problems, even in children under ten. During your child's initial consultation, you can expect one of three outcomes:
If early orthodontic treatment is needed, we will create a personalized treatment plan for your child so you know exactly what lies ahead.
Our orthodontic practice in Matthews does things a little differently than others. Our doctors want to get to know you, your family, and your oral health goals. With more than 30 years of combined experience, we know that each smile our doctors help create is as unique as the person it belongs to.
That's why our practice offers several orthodontic solutions customized to your individual orthodontic needs. If you're a new patient, we know you probably have important questions that need answers. That's why new patients always receive a complimentary orthodontic consultation, so you can learn about the best treatment options for your budget and lifestyle.
At the end of the day, our goal is to make access to orthodontic treatment as available, effective, and easy as possible. Come experience why so many children, teens, and adults trust Chad Johnson Orthodontics with their oral health needs. We'd love to get to know you and your smile better today!

This fall in downtown Matthews, you’ll be able to pick up a familiar Italian market’s trademark sausages, frozen ravioli and take-and-bake lasagna, with an even larger selection of items to browse.
“We couldn’t be more excited to announce Enzo’s Italian Market will be opening a new location in Matthews! Coming Fall 2024!,” the market announced via Facebook.
Enzo’s Italian Market, which got its start in nearby Stallings in 2009, will be moving into the former Beantown Tavern space and incorporating a neighboring spot to expand to almost 10,00 square feet.
“When all is said and done, you’ll have access to a full-service Italian market with fresh produce, an osteria — a wine bar with a wide selection of Italian wines and liquors — and a full patisserie bakery,” owner Greg Tigani told CharlotteFive.
Espresso and gelato stations are in the works, along with areas for fresh pasta and mozzarella.
“It’s going to be quite the experience,” Tigani said.
Enzo’s is one of only a few New York-style Italian markets in the Charlotte area. Original owner Enzo LoRe — born in Sicily — opened the first Potter Road store in Stallings and ran the small business for 13 years before selling it in spring 2022 as he fell ill.
When Tigani took over the business from his good friend, the recipes stayed the same. But he added more products including freshly baked bread and desserts, with an eye on growth.
Since then, Enzo’s also opened a Lancaster, SC, store, that has become so popular, it’s moving into a larger space soon. The newer 4,500-square-foot, full-service Italian market will open there May 1.
But don’t worry, there are no plans to close the Stallings market. “The OG remains as is!,” Enzo’s reassured questioning fans on the post.
At least one more location is on its way, as well. Tigani is working on plans with an eye toward an opening a fourth Italian market in early 2025 that will be similar to the expanded store in Matthews.
“If you look at our reviews, people come in every day and say it feels like home and has the authenticity of the New York-style market they’re used to,” he said.
Location: 4420 Potter Rd, Stallings, NC 28104
Location: 210 N Park Dr, Lancaster SC 29720
Location: 130 Matthews Station St, Matthews, NC 28105 (opening fall 2024)

A developer wants to build houses, apartments, and businesses on land near Matthews, where NCDOT plans to extend roads.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A corporate landlord is eyeing a big plot of land on Independence Boulevard to build a new rental community.
Monday night, Charlotte city leaders held a public hearing on the proposal, which includes North Carolina Department of Transportation road projects that will drastically change the area.
The proposed community is by the developers behind The Vue and Uptown 550 would sprawl across 80 acres. The site would be located at the intersection of East Independence Boulevard and Sardis Road North near Matthews.
NCDOT also has plans to use the land to extend Sardis Road North and Arequipa Drive to Sam Newell Road.
The entire property is currently wooded and acts as a floodplain for Irvins Creek. Nearby homeowners worry that plans to replace most of the woods with a rental community will hinder their quality of life.
"We will have a separation of 40 feet," homeowner Sherry Sigmon said. "Hopefully you can understand our concerns about privacy, sound, and safety."

They're asking for a larger buffer between their properties and the development. The developer's attorney Collin Brown said the request will be taken under consideration.
The petitioner Northwood Ravin doesn’t have a site plan yet but hopes to build houses, townhomes, apartments, and commercial space across from Crownpoint Plaza. The plans also include leaving a portion of the woods to protect the floodplain.
If the rezoning petition is approved, construction on the community will start in September 2024. However, the road projects aren’t expected to start until 2028, so neighbors are still worried about backups on Independence Boulevard.
“It would be a traffic nightmare,” Sigmon said.
Brown explained NCDOT's plans to build an interchange and a bridge off Independence Boulevard. The land is currently zoned for low-density housing, but due to the major road changes, "it might not be the best site for low-density residential, which is why we’re having the conversation about the rezoning," Brown said.
Now that a public hearing has been held, the Charlotte Zoning Committee will consider the rezoning petition, and then the city council can vote on it.
