Clear Aligners in Crowley & Eunice, LA

Discreet, Comfortable Orthodontic Treatment for a Straighter Smile

Straightening your teeth doesn’t have to involve brackets or wires. At Acadiana Smiles, we offer clear aligner therapy to help patients in Crowley, Eunice, and surrounding communities achieve a healthier, more attractive smile—without the hassle of traditional braces. Clear aligners are a modern, removable alternative that corrects misalignment, gaps, and bite issues with minimal disruption to your lifestyle.

Whether you're an adult seeking subtle orthodontic treatment or a teen looking for flexibility, clear aligners could be the right fit.

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are custom-made, transparent trays that gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. They're designed to be worn over your natural teeth and replaced every few weeks to continue progressing through the treatment plan.

At Acadiana Smiles, we provide aligner systems as part of our cosmetic dentistry offerings. Each treatment plan is personalized by our experienced dentists, and we use advanced imaging to ensure accurate, comfortable results from start to finish.

For patients interested in a total smile transformation, clear aligners can also be combined with other aesthetic services such as teeth whitening or veneers.

Conditions Clear Aligners Can Treat

Clear aligners can effectively treat many of the same conditions as braces, including:

Crowded or overlapping teeth
Gaps between teeth
Mild to moderate overbites and underbites
Open bites and crossbites
Shifting teeth due to age or incomplete orthodontic treatment

Not every case is suitable for aligners, which is why we begin with a consultation and digital impressions using iTero technology to determine your eligibility.

Advantages of Clear Aligner Treatment

Clear aligners are a popular choice for both adults and teens because they offer:

Discreet appearance — Nearly invisible when worn
Removable convenience — Eat, brush, and floss without restrictions
Comfortable materials — Smooth plastic, no brackets or wires
Fewer office visits — Most adjustments are made by switching to the next tray at home
Predictable results — Advanced planning software allows us to preview your expected outcome

For patients looking for an even more comprehensive smile upgrade, clear aligners are often included in our smile makeover plans.

What to Expect During Treatment

Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a consultation at our Crowley or Eunice office. We'll review your dental goals and assess your alignment.
Digital Impressions and Planning
We take 3D scans of your teeth using digital impression technology. Your aligners are then custom-fabricated based on a precise treatment plan.
Receiving Your Aligners
You’ll receive a series of trays to wear, typically for 20–22 hours a day. Each set is worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next.
Monitoring Progress
You'll return for periodic check-ins so we can monitor alignment and make any necessary adjustments.
Retainers After Treatment
Once your treatment is complete, you'll be fitted with a custom retainer to maintain your results.

Depending on the complexity of your case, treatment may take anywhere from a few months to over a year. Many patients begin to see noticeable changes within just a few weeks.

Clear Aligners vs. Braces

While traditional braces are still the best solution for some complex bite issues, clear aligners offer several distinct advantages:

No dietary restrictions
Less irritation to gums and cheeks
Easy maintenance and oral hygiene
Aesthetically preferred by many adults

If you’re considering your options, we’re happy to help you weigh the benefits of each during a consultation.

Are Clear Aligners Right for You?

You may be a good candidate for clear aligners if:

You have mild to moderate misalignment
Your oral health is otherwise in good condition
You’re committed to wearing the aligners as directed
You're looking for a discreet alternative to metal braces

In some cases, patients may require preparatory treatment such as dental fillings, cleanings, or tooth extractions before starting aligners. We’ll help guide you through each step.

Clear Aligners FAQs

Do clear aligners hurt?
Most patients experience some tightness or pressure when starting a new tray, but it typically subsides after a day or two. Aligners are much more comfortable than braces for most people.

How often do I need to wear them?
For the best results, aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day and only removed for eating, drinking, and brushing.

Can I eat and drink with aligners in?
You should remove your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water to avoid staining and damaging the trays.

How do I clean the aligners?
Use a soft toothbrush with cool water and a clear, mild soap. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic.

What happens if I lose a tray?
If a tray is lost or damaged, contact our office as soon as possible. We may recommend moving to the next set or ordering a replacement.
