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.
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.
Every option below is available under the same upfront-pricing standard, whichever specific service ends up fitting your case.
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.
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.
If movement isn't matching the plan, we catch it here rather than at the very end. 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.
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.
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.
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 Lake Nacimiento 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.
