Modern Orthodontics with a Nearly Invisible Approach

If you're looking to straighten your teeth without traditional braces, Invisalign® offers a trusted and discreet solution. At Acadiana Smiles, we provide Invisalign treatment in Crowley and Eunice, LA to help teens and adults achieve healthier, straighter smiles—without metal brackets or wires.

Invisalign uses a system of clear, removable aligners designed to fit comfortably and deliver predictable results. Whether you're correcting spacing, crowding, or bite issues, Invisalign allows you to improve your smile while maintaining your daily routine.

How Invisalign Works

Invisalign treatment begins with a personalized plan using digital imaging technology. Your dentist will take precise 3D scans of your teeth and create a step-by-step roadmap for how your smile will shift over time. Using this digital model, a series of custom aligners are created.

You’ll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before switching to the next in the series. The aligners apply gentle pressure to gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions.

Our team monitors your progress with routine check-ins to ensure your treatment stays on track. Invisalign is part of our full offering of cosmetic dentistry services, and it can be paired with additional enhancements like teeth whitening or veneers for a comprehensive smile transformation.

Common Issues Invisalign Can Correct

Invisalign is designed to treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including:

  • Mild to moderate crowding
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Overbite or underbite
  • Crossbite and open bite
  • Shifting teeth from prior orthodontic treatment

If your case is more complex, our dentists may discuss whether alternative treatments or referrals are appropriate. For most patients, however, Invisalign offers a convenient and effective path to a better-aligned bite.

Benefits of Invisalign Treatment

Patients often choose Invisalign because it offers:

  • Discreet appearance — Aligners are nearly invisible when worn
  • Removable design — Take them out to eat, brush, and floss
  • Fewer restrictions — No limitations on your favorite foods
  • Comfortable materials — Smooth plastic with no wires or brackets
  • Predictable results — Treatment is planned with advanced imaging for accuracy

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign fits into your life without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment.

Invisalign vs. Other Clear Aligners

While other clear aligners offer similar features, Invisalign is backed by over two decades of research, clinical studies, and patient outcomes. It uses proprietary SmartTrack® material that provides more controlled and consistent tooth movement compared to generic aligners.

At Acadiana Smiles, our dentists are certified Invisalign providers and offer expert care from consultation through final results. If you’re weighing options, we’ll explain the difference between Invisalign and alternative systems and help you make an informed decision.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

  1. Initial Consultation
    We start with a full dental evaluation to determine if Invisalign is right for you. We'll discuss your goals and review your oral health.
  2. Digital Scanning
    Using iTero digital impressions, we capture 3D images of your teeth and create a precise treatment plan.
  3. Custom Aligner Fabrication
    Your aligners are created using SmartTrack material, with each set engineered to move specific teeth gradually and safely.
  4. Progress Monitoring
    Every few weeks, you’ll return to our office so we can check your progress and provide your next sets of aligners.
  5. Completion and Retention
    After treatment, you’ll receive a custom retainer to maintain your new smile.

Invisalign is frequently incorporated into full smile makeover plans for patients wanting both functional and cosmetic improvements.

Is Invisalign Right for You?

Invisalign may be a good fit if you:

  • Want a discreet orthodontic option
  • Have mild to moderate alignment or bite issues
  • Can commit to wearing aligners 20–22 hours per day
  • Prefer flexibility in your treatment routine
  • Want to avoid the restrictions and appearance of braces

We’ll assess your case and let you know if Invisalign will meet your needs. If you're not a candidate, we’ll explore other options as part of your comprehensive treatment plan.
