Clear Aligners & Smile Alignment at Gleem Dental New Orleans

Straightening your teeth has never been more discreet — or more comfortable. Smile alignment is the flagship of what we do at Gleem Dental in Lakeview, led by Dr. Caylin Greene and her advanced Invisalign training. From nearly invisible clear aligners to accelerated braces, we design a personalized path to a straighter, healthier smile. New patients are always welcome, and we accept a wide range of insurance plans.

◦ Philosophy

A Straighter Smile, Designed Around Your Life

Smile alignment is where Gleem Dental shines, and it remains the heart of our practice. Dr. Greene pursued advanced Invisalign training because she believes straightening teeth should never mean putting your life on hold — no metal mouth, no awkward photos, no endless adjustment appointments.

Instead, we build treatment around you. Every case starts with a careful evaluation and a 3D preview of your future smile, so you can see the destination before you begin. Whether that means nearly invisible aligners you can remove for dinner, or a faster fixed-bracket approach, we choose the technology that fits your teeth, your timeline, and your budget — and we monitor every step of the way.

◦ Why Straighten

The Benefits of Smile Alignment

Straightening your teeth is about far more than appearance. Here's what a well-aligned smile can do for you:

01 / Confidence

A smile you're proud of

Crowding, gaps, and crooked teeth can hold you back from sharing your smile. Clear aligners and modern braces gently guide your teeth into a position that looks — and feels — like you.

02 / Health

Healthier for the long run

Straight, well-aligned teeth are easier to clean, which lowers your risk of decay and gum disease. A balanced bite also reduces uneven wear, chipping, and jaw strain over time.

03 / Discretion

Treatment nobody has to notice

Options like Invisalign and ClearCorrect use nearly invisible aligners, so most people won't know you're straightening your teeth. Ideal for professionals, parents, and anyone who wants a subtle path.

04 / Expertise

Guided by advanced training

Dr. Caylin Greene has advanced Invisalign training and plans every case personally. You're never handed off to a lab — your treatment is designed, monitored, and adjusted by your dentist.

Fastbraces

When a fixed-bracket approach is the right call, Fastbraces technology moves the crown and root of the tooth together — often shortening treatment time compared to traditional braces. Ideal for cases best suited to braces.

Not sure where you fit? That's exactly what a consultation is for. Many patients also pair alignment with cosmetic dentistry — whitening or veneers after straightening — for a truly complete transformation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Smile Alignment

01

Which clear aligner or braces option is right for me?

It depends on your goals, your bite, and the complexity of your case. Invisalign is our flagship option and handles everything from simple crowding to more complex movements, while ClearCorrect is a discreet, budget-friendly alternative for mild to moderate cases. Fastbraces may be recommended when a fixed bracket approach is the best fit. The only way to know for certain is a consultation — Dr. Greene will examine your teeth, discuss your priorities, and recommend the approach that fits your smile and lifestyle.
02

Are clear aligners as effective as traditional metal braces?

For the majority of patients, yes. Modern clear aligners like Invisalign can correct crowding, spacing, and many bite issues with results comparable to traditional braces — while being nearly invisible and removable. Very complex cases may still be better served by fixed braces, which is why we offer both. Dr. Greene will let you know honestly which path will give you the best outcome.
03

How long does smile alignment treatment take?

Most clear aligner cases take somewhere between 6 and 18 months, though simple cases can finish faster and complex ones may take longer. Timelines depend on how much your teeth need to move and how consistently you wear your aligners. Our blog post on how long Invisalign takes by case type breaks this down in detail.
04

Does insurance cover clear aligners or braces?

Many dental insurance plans include an orthodontic benefit that can be applied toward clear aligners or braces. We accept a wide range of insurance plans and also offer flexible financing to keep treatment affordable. Our team will review your coverage and out-of-pocket costs clearly before you begin.
