Invisalign Clear Aligners For the Smile Of Your Dreams
Dr. Katie Beach … Louisiana’s #1 Provider … Now Accepting New Invisalign Patients
Many people come into our office with the desire to have straighter teeth. Many of them, however, don’t enjoy the thought of wearing metal braces for an extended period of time. Shreveport Bossier Family Dental Care can now offer an easier lifestyle solution, Invisalign.
Invisalign is a series of aligner trays that are invisible, comfortable, and removable. The aligners are practically undetectable, which means you go through your daily routine without anyone knowing you are straightening your teeth. Wearing the series of clear aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into perfect alignment. Invisalign allows you to eat, drink, brush, and floss like normal by simply removing the aligners. These are just a few great reasons the Invisalign treatment system is so attractive to our patients. If you are interested in learning more, call us at Shreveport Bossier Family Dental Care today.
Getting Started
The process starts with a FREE consultation with Dr. Katie Beach, a trained Invisalign provider. Dr. Beach will complete a records appointment that will include: a clinical orthodontic examination, orthodontic scans, orthodontic facial imaging, and panoramic x-rays.
Dr. Beach will review your treatment options and decide if Invisalign is the right, most effective, treatment for you. To obtain the best possible results, our office uses an in-office iTero scanner to show patients the imaging outcome of their final Invisalign treatment within minutes. This is the 3D -virtual results of what your teeth will look like at the end of your treatment plan. With the use of the iTero scanner, treatment is 50% faster than traditional methods with 10x fewer rejection and 7x fewer fit issues. Our patients will have better patient experiences and outcomes.
Invisalign uses advanced technology to create custom-made aligners out of SmartTrack® material. Treatment plans can include a series of 12 to 48 aligners. These virtually invisible aligners are worn for 2 weeks at a time to gently shift your teeth into alignment. It is recommended that patients wear Invisalign clear aligners for 20-22 hours a day for best results. If you would like Dr. Katie Beach to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted, contact us to make an appointment today.

How Invisalign Works
Treatment uses a series of custom, clear aligners that gently move your teeth a little at a time. You switch to a new set of aligners on a schedule your dentist sets, and you visit the office periodically so we can check your progress.
Your Treatment, Step by Step
- Consultation. We examine your teeth, discuss your goals and confirm clear aligners are a good fit.
- Digital scan. A 3D scan replaces messy impressions and lets you preview your planned result.
- Custom aligners. Your aligners are made to fit your teeth precisely.
- Progress visits. Short checkups keep treatment on track.
- Retainers. Retainers help hold your new smile in place after treatment.
Benefits of Clear Aligners
- Nearly invisible, so most people will not notice you are straightening your teeth.
- Removable for eating, brushing and flossing, with no food restrictions.
- Smooth plastic with no brackets or wires to irritate your cheeks.
- Fewer emergency visits than traditional braces.
Are Clear Aligners Right for You?
Clear aligners can treat crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites and crossbites for many teens and adults. Treatment works best when aligners are worn about 20 to 22 hours a day. You can learn more about clear aligner treatment on the official manufacturer website.
