Smile Center Dentistry plans Invisalign Clear Aligners digitally, so you see a projected before-and-after on screen before ordering your first set of aligners.
These are the four things patients actually ask about before booking Invisalign Clear Aligners, not a generic checklist we copied from another service page.
An intraoral scanner captures your bite in minutes, replacing the old alginate tray most patients dread.
We review the simulation together and adjust the plan before any trays are manufactured.
Small tooth-colored attachments and any interproximal reduction are mapped out from the start, not decided ad hoc.
No per-visit surprise fees — refinement trays are typically included in the original quote.
Here's the range of Invisalign Clear Aligners our Smyrna team handles most, described the way we'd explain it chairside rather than in marketing language.
Not every case is a good fit for clear aligners — we'll tell you honestly if traditional braces would serve you better. Mild to moderate crowding and spacing are usually excellent aligner candidates.
We walk through the simulation together and make adjustments before finalizing the treatment plan. This is the step where you get a real sense of how long treatment will realistically take.
Small attachments give aligners extra grip on certain teeth, and IPR creates minimal space where crowding requires it. IPR is done in tiny increments, well within enamel safety limits.
Each tray is worn roughly one to two weeks before moving to the next, typically 20 to 22 hours a day. Compliance with wear time is the single biggest factor in staying on schedule.
Periodic in-office or virtual check-ins confirm teeth are tracking with the simulation. Most patients need a check-in every six to eight weeks.
A final refinement round fine-tunes any remaining minor movement before treatment is considered complete. Retainer wear schedules are explained clearly, including the long-term nighttime routine.
Here's exactly what to expect, start to finish, for Invisalign Clear Aligners at any of our affiliated offices.
Schedule an intraoral scan and eligibility screening, usually within the same week.
See your projected tooth movement on-screen before committing to treatment.
Once approved, your first sets of aligners are ordered and fitted.
We stay involved through the final retainer fitting, not just the first few weeks.
We publish these as-is, because that's the only kind of review worth reading before booking Invisalign Clear Aligners.
“Seeing the simulation before committing made the decision so much easier. I knew roughly what to expect the whole way through.”
“No goop trays for the impression, just a quick scan. Should have looked into this years ago.”
“The refinement trays were already included in my quote, so there was no surprise bill at the end of treatment.”
“My teeth actually tracked ahead of the simulation timeline, and they caught it and adjusted my check-in schedule accordingly.”
“Attachments were barely noticeable, and the whole process felt a lot less intimidating than traditional braces would have.”
Straight answers to what people actually want to know before committing to Invisalign Clear Aligners.
Mild cases can finish in six months; more complex cases may take twelve to eighteen months, based on your simulation.
Mild to moderate crowding and spacing are typically excellent candidates; more complex bites may need a longer plan or traditional braces.
Some cases need small tooth-colored attachments for extra grip; your ClinCheck simulation will show exactly which teeth need them.
Most treatment plans require 20 to 22 hours daily, removed only for eating and cleaning.
Refinement trays exist specifically to correct minor tracking differences at the end of treatment.
Check-in visits are included in the original treatment cost, not billed separately.
