An intraoral scanner replaces the old goop-and-tray impression, and a ClinCheck simulation shows you roughly how your smile will move before you commit to a single tray.
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.
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. 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.
Both are planned from the simulation, not decided spontaneously mid-treatment. 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. 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 San Tan Valley 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.
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.
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.
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 San Tan Valley patients from the first scan through final retainer fitting. Ask about scheduling flexibility if you're balancing this around a busy work schedule.
