  • 2 Clear Aligner Choices
  • Hundreds of 5-Star Reviews
  • Flexible Financing Available

Our Thorough Approach to Invisalign

With more and more general dentists offering clear aligners, we know you have options. Central Texas Dental Care prides itself on offering a higher standard of care. Some of the reasons we're the best choice for your orthodontic treatment include:

Decades in Practice

Our practice was founded in 1983, and many of our patients have been visiting us for decades. As a fixture in the community, we're proud to provide reliable care to our friends and neighbors. Our team includes several doctors so we can address a diverse range of concerns on-site without referring you to outside specialists.

Cutting-Edge Technology

Some providers focus on aesthetics and fail to address concerns related to your bite. In contrast, we use advanced 3D scanners to help you achieve a healthy foundation too. This isn't just better for your health; it keeps your beautifully straightened smile from becoming damaged, chipped, or worn in the future.

Call Today for a Straighter Smile

The clear aligner treatment process is simple and easy. So is getting started! All you have to do is give our Waco-area office a call or send us an online message, tell us you're interested, and we'll book your one-on-one consultation right away. 

"This practice has continued to amaze me. Actually from my first visit, until all my work is completed. Exceptional front office staff, chairside assistant, hygienist, and a special thank you and appreciation for Dr. Cooney.  I look forward to my Invisalighn braces. Again thank you for understanding my dental anxiety and being patient with me during my procedure."

— Joyce Wittschen, 5-Star Review

Why Choose Clear Aligners?

Both Invisalign and SureSmile aligners blend in easily with your teeth. Because our Waco Invisalign dentists use digital impressions to ensure that your custom trays are as accurate as possible, they fit snugly around each tooth for the most discreet-looking refinement.

They're Discreet

Unlike braces, which have noticeable brackets and wires, aligners blend in easily with your natural teeth. This makes them great for teenagers wanting to fit in, as well as adults who want to look professional while straightening their teeth.

They Provide Options

The team at our Waco-area dental office proudly offers two different options for you to choose from: SureSmile and Invisalign. We'll guide you through the pros and cons of both during your initial consultation.

They're Removable

With aligners, you're typically supposed to wear your trays for around 22 hours per day. You can remove them to eat, as well as to clean them, giving you a break from time to time—a big difference from braces.

They Don't Limit Your Diet

Clear aligners also give you the flexibility to eat what you want, unlike braces. Patients are welcome to enjoy steak, apples, and other delicious foods for a more diverse diet.

2 Clear Aligner Options

Thanks to advances in orthodontic technology, you don't need braces to straighten your teeth. We feature two different clear aligner options at our office near Waco.

Invisalign

We stand out from other Waco Invisalign providers and dental professionals because our dentist is a Bronze-level provider of Invisalign—a commonly requested clear aligner system. Additionally, our team offers Invisalign attachments, which can speed up tooth movement during treatment.

SureSmile

We also offer SureSmile, another type of clear aligner that works just as effectively as Invisalign. SureSmile comes from Dentsply Sirona, the same company behind the revolutionary CEREC® machine, which creates same-day dental crowns and bridges.

SureSmile's Unique Advantages

Hewitt, TX, patients prefer SureSmile and Invisalign treatment over braces for a variety of reasons. Dentists and orthodontists alike also recognize that SureSmile aligners have their own clear advantages, like:

​Lab Team Assistance

One of the most unique benefits of SureSmile aligners is the fact that the brand has its own Digital Lab. It's staffed by a team who will take a second look at your proposed aligner models and ensure that they're up to standard.

Laser Crafting

The makers of SureSmile are detail-oriented. In addition to approving designs, they also employ a high-tech laser to craft even more accurate custom-made clear aligners.

SureSmile Retainers

After you complete your SureSmile aligner treatment, you can trust the same brand to make your retainers. They're known for their strong material, and they're just as easy to wear as your aligners.

Braces are a thing of the past, thanks to progress in the field of orthodontics. To learn more about why our dentist prefers to use SureSmile aligners for stunning orthodontic results, contact our friendly Waco-area team. You can also ask questions by calling us at:

Dental Consultation

We'll welcome you to our Hewitt office for a dental consultation. During this time, we'll get to know you and your goals. We'll assess your candidacy, and if you're a good fit for orthodontics like SureSmile or Invisalign, we'll move on to the next steps.

Digital Impressions

Because Invisalign and SureSmile aligners use your exact dental impressions, we'll need to take some scans of your teeth. As parents who have once gone to the orthodontist will notice, our digital scanners produce results much more easily than the putty and molds of the past.

Aligner Creation

Depending on the type of aligners you choose, this step may go a little differently. For instance, with SureSmile, the lab takes the extra time to approve treatment plans before fabricating your personalized aligners.

Treatment

Whether you've chosen Invisalign treatment or SureSmile, wearing your aligners works pretty much the same. You'll need to wear them for about 22 hours a day, taking them out to eat or be cleaned. You'll also replace each set of aligners after a certain period of time. Even if you think you're done with an aligner, we recommend holding onto them until treatment is done in case you misplace one.

Orthodontic Checkups

Throughout the course of your clear aligner treatment, you'll return to our dental office for regular checkups. Our dentists will make sure that your SureSmile or Invisalign course is progressing well. Luckily, aligner checkups are much easier than braces, since we won't need to tighten any wires.

Aligners Are Right for Most Patients

Clear aligners are a great choice for patients with a broad spectrum of needs and goals, but there are a few important factors your dentist will check for before beginning your treatment. Good candidates for orthodontic aligners typically have these things in common:

Solid Oral Health to Start

A healthy smile is the best foundation for successful orthodontic care. If you're dealing with decayed or damaged teeth, gum disease, or another oral health issue, you'll need to have it addressed before beginning SureSmile or Invisalign treatment. Our dentists near Waco, TX, happily offer comprehensive restorative care to get you back on track.

Mild to Moderate Misalignment

Aligners are intended for mild to moderate orthodontic concerns. Patients with severely misaligned teeth or bite issues may need braces. However, there is an important exception—Invisalign attachments. When applied to the teeth, these small bumps of resin create a better "grip" with the aligner. The extra force makes treatment possible for some patients with more complex concerns.

Commitment to Seeing Results

You'll need to wear your aligners for at least 20 hours a day, preferably 22, to get the best results from your treatment. Your dentist will advise you to remove them only to eat, brush, and floss. Some patients find it difficult to commit to this schedule. If that sounds like you, we're ready to talk about alternative options that can meet your needs.
