Traditional systems focus mainly on cosmetic tooth movement. Nuvola addresses jaw position, muscle coordination and airway balance too, for long-term structural stability.
Functional Clear Aligner Therapy
Nuvola Clear Aligners
An orthodontic system that straightens teeth while supporting jaw alignment and airway function, planned by Dr. Charles Ferzli for patients in Raleigh, Cary and Durham, NC.
TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Raleigh-Durham
What Are Nuvola Clear Aligners?
Nuvola Clear Aligners are an advanced orthodontic system designed not only to straighten teeth, but to support proper jaw alignment and functional balance. Unlike conventional cosmetic aligners, Nuvola is planned as part of a TMJ treatment plan, with attention to occlusal interference and neuromuscular strain.
This is orthodontics, not a night appliance: Nuvola moves teeth. A TMJ splint repositions the jaw without moving them; a sleep appliance holds it forward to open the airway. Many patients need more than one.
When to Consider Nuvola
TMJ Pain or Clicking
Jaw discomfort, tension or popping that may signal a structural imbalance.
Sleep or Airway Concerns
Trouble breathing through the nose, or restless sleep linked to jaw position.
Facial Asymmetry or Poor Bite
A bite that feels uneven, or a face that looks imbalanced.
Headaches or Muscle Fatigue
Tension in the face or neck that tracks with how the jaw closes.

We treat adults and children — early intervention supports jaw development and airway growth.
Digital Precision
Every Nuvola system is custom designed with 3D mapping, so each stage is planned before the first tray.
Functional Alignment
Nuvola gently corrects tooth position while improving bite mechanics and joint balance.
Orthopedic Support
Aligner design encourages skeletal balance and muscle relaxation, minimizing strain on the temporomandibular joint.

Nuvola’s orthopedic design promotes balance across the bite and joints, so we plan it alongside TMJ disorder care rather than in isolation.
Typically 6 to 18 months, depending on complexity. Your provider designs a sequence that balances comfort and efficiency.
Cost depends on how many stages your case needs and whether aligners are combined with other TMJ care. We quote the full fee in writing at your consultation.
