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 North Eastham 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.
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.
Both are planned from the simulation, not decided spontaneously mid-treatment. 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. 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. 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.
We answer questions and adjust the plan together at this stage.
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
The full course, including refinement trays, is typically quoted as one flat-rate price before you start.
If you're unsure whether your part of North Eastham is covered, a quick call settles it faster than searching online.
We coordinate Invisalign Clear Aligners treatment for North Eastham patients from the first scan through final retainer fitting. Ask about scheduling flexibility if you're balancing this around a busy work schedule.
