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.
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.
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 Shreveport 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. 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.
We review proper insertion, removal, and cleaning technique at your fitting appointment. We'll flag early if trays aren't tracking properly so we can adjust before it compounds.
Periodic in-office or virtual check-ins confirm teeth are tracking with the simulation. Virtual check-ins are available for patients who can't easily come in as often.
Once finished, a custom retainer keeps teeth from drifting back — this step isn't optional. Refinement trays are typically included in the original treatment quote.
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.
Regular check-ins confirm your teeth are tracking with the simulation until refinement and retention.
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.”
These are the questions Shreveport patients ask most before booking Invisalign Clear Aligners.
Your ClinCheck simulation gives a projected timeline specific to your case before you commit.
Mild to moderate crowding and spacing are typically excellent candidates; more complex bites may need a longer plan or traditional braces.
Not every case requires attachments — it depends on the specific movements needed.
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.
The full course, including refinement trays, is typically quoted as one flat-rate price before you start.
We can usually confirm same-week availability for Invisalign Clear Aligners before you even finish describing your situation.
Our Invisalign Clear Aligners team serves Shreveport and the surrounding area, with intraoral scanning available in-office so there's no separate imaging trip. Virtual check-ins are available for patients outside our immediate area who still want to be treated here.
