Whether it's minor crowding or a more involved bite correction, our Invisalign Clear Aligners process starts with a scan, not a mold, and a simulation you actually get to review.
Every Smile Center Dentistry office offering Invisalign Clear Aligners is held to the same four standards, verified before the office ever joins our network.
Digital scans are also more accurate than physical impressions, which matters once aligners are being custom-milled.
Before ordering aligners, you'll see a projected simulation of how your teeth are expected to move, stage by stage.
We explain exactly which teeth need attachments or IPR and why, before treatment begins.
The full course of aligners, refinement trays, and check-ins is quoted as one package price before you start.
Here's the range of Invisalign Clear Aligners our Raceland team handles most, described the way we'd explain it chairside rather than in marketing language.
The scan and screening visit determines complexity and gives you a realistic treatment-length estimate. More complex bite issues may still qualify, just with a longer projected timeline.
We walk through the simulation together and make adjustments before finalizing the treatment plan. Ask questions here — this is the easiest point to change course if something doesn't look right.
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. We'll flag early if trays aren't tracking properly so we can adjust before it compounds.
If movement isn't matching the plan, we catch it here rather than at the very end. 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. Refinement trays are typically included in the original treatment quote.
No mystery about what happens between calling us and walking out with the problem addressed.
Schedule an intraoral scan and eligibility screening, usually within the same week.
We answer questions and adjust the plan together at this stage.
You'll get one flat-rate price covering the full course of trays before ordering begins.
We stay involved through the final retainer fitting, not just the first few weeks.
These are unedited, from patients who've actually been through Invisalign Clear Aligners treatment with us in the past year.
“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.”
These are the questions Raceland patients ask most before booking Invisalign Clear Aligners.
Your ClinCheck simulation gives a projected timeline specific to your case before you commit.
The scan and screening visit will tell us honestly whether aligners are the right tool for your case.
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.
If you're unsure whether your part of Raceland is covered, a quick call settles it faster than searching online.
We coordinate Invisalign Clear Aligners treatment for Raceland patients from the first scan through final retainer fitting. Ask about scheduling flexibility if you're balancing this around a busy work schedule.
