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.
We explain exactly which teeth need attachments or IPR and why, before treatment begins.
No per-visit surprise fees — refinement trays are typically included in the original quote.
Here's the range of Invisalign Clear Aligners our Bennington 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. Ask questions here — this is the easiest point to change course if something doesn't look right.
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.
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.
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 Bennington 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.
Wear time compliance is the biggest factor in staying on the simulation's projected schedule.
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.
If you're unsure whether your part of Bennington is covered, a quick call settles it faster than searching online.
We coordinate Invisalign Clear Aligners treatment for Bennington patients from the first scan through final retainer fitting. Virtual check-ins are available for patients outside our immediate area who still want to be treated here.
