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.
An intraoral scanner captures your bite in minutes, replacing the old alginate tray most patients dread.
We review the simulation together and adjust the plan before any trays are manufactured.
Small tooth-colored attachments and any interproximal reduction are mapped out from the start, not decided ad hoc.
The full course of aligners, refinement trays, and check-ins is quoted as one package price before you start.
Every option below is available under the same upfront-pricing standard, whichever specific service ends up fitting your case.
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. 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. 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.
Once finished, a custom retainer keeps teeth from drifting back — this step isn't optional. Retainer wear schedules are explained clearly, including the long-term nighttime routine.
No mystery about what happens between calling us and walking out with the problem addressed.
A quick call gets your scan booked and starts the simulation process.
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.
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 Georgetown patients ask most before booking Invisalign Clear Aligners.
Mild cases can finish in six months; more complex cases may take twelve to eighteen months, based on your simulation.
Mild to moderate crowding and spacing are typically excellent candidates; more complex bites may need a longer plan or traditional braces.
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.
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.
We coordinate Invisalign Clear Aligners treatment for Georgetown patients from the first scan through final retainer fitting. Ask about scheduling flexibility if you're balancing this around a busy work schedule.
