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.
Digital scans are also more accurate than physical impressions, which matters once aligners are being custom-milled.
We review the simulation together and adjust the plan before any trays are manufactured.
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 Barnwell 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. More complex bite issues may still qualify, just with a longer projected timeline.
You'll see your projected tooth movement on-screen, stage by stage, before a single tray is manufactured. 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. Attachments are tooth-colored and barely noticeable in normal conversation.
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. 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.
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.
Not every case requires attachments — it depends on the specific movements needed.
Wear time compliance is the biggest factor in staying on the simulation's projected schedule.
We catch tracking issues at progress check-ins and adjust the plan before it compounds into a bigger delay.
Check-in visits are included in the original treatment cost, not billed separately.
If you're unsure whether your part of Barnwell is covered, a quick call settles it faster than searching online.
Our Invisalign Clear Aligners team serves Barnwell and the surrounding area, with intraoral scanning available in-office so there's no separate imaging trip. Ask about scheduling flexibility if you're balancing this around a busy work schedule.
