Straightening Teeth in Johnson County
Doing It Once More, and Making It Stick This Time
Invisalign in Greenwood, IN is clear aligner treatment: a sequence of custom, removable trays that move teeth gradually, planned end to end from a digital scan before the first tray is made. You wear each tray, change to the next on schedule, and come into our Smith Valley Rd office periodically so we can confirm the teeth are tracking to plan.
A large share of the adults who ask about it here have been through orthodontics already. They wore braces in high school, wore the retainer for a while, stopped, and watched the lower front teeth crowd back together over the following decade. It is the single most common reason someone books this consultation, and it is not a sign that the first treatment was done badly.
The good news in a relapse case is usually the scale of it. Teeth that were straightened once tend to drift a modest distance rather than back to where they began, so the plan can be shorter than the original course of braces was. We will not know until we scan, but we will tell you the honest number before you commit.
The part we are blunt about is the ending. Retainers are what makes the second round the last round. More on how Bloom Dental approaches Invisalign across all seven locations.
Why Teeth Move Back
What Happened Between High School and Now
If you are wondering whether you did something wrong, you almost certainly did not. Here is the actual mechanism, in plain terms.
Bone keeps remodelling
Teeth are held by fibres and bone that carry on adapting long after the braces come off. Without something holding the new position, that adaptation slowly pulls teeth back toward where they used to sit.
The lower front teeth go first
Crowding tends to reappear at the bottom front, which is why people notice it in a photograph rather than in the mirror. It is also the region that responds well to a shorter aligner plan.
The retainer stopped being worn
Almost nobody wears a retainer for twenty years unprompted. We tell you exactly how much wear yours needs, in hours rather than vague advice, so the second round is the last one.
What Actually Happens
From First Scan to Final Retainer
The whole sequence, in order, with nothing glossed over.
Consultation and digital scan
We scan the teeth and look at how the bite closes. If you have had braces before, tell us roughly when, because knowing how long the drift took helps us judge how the teeth will respond.
The plan, in writing
Projected movement, tray count, timeline and cost with your verified insurance benefit applied, before you agree to anything. On a second round, this is also where we check what an old orthodontic maximum has already used up.
Wearing the trays
Aligners have to be in your mouth the great majority of the day to do anything at all. They come out to eat and to brush. This is the biggest factor in whether treatment finishes on time.
Progress checks, here or downtown
You come in periodically so we can confirm the teeth are moving as predicted. If you commute into the city, book that check at our Virginia Ave office instead of driving back down US 31.
Retainers, taken seriously
This is the step that failed last time for most people in this chair. We fit the retainer when active treatment ends and give you a specific wear schedule rather than a vague suggestion.
When aligners are not the answer
Some rotations and bite corrections are handled better with fixed braces, and a relapse that involves the back teeth can be one of them. If that is your case we will say so at the consultation.
Why This Office
Six Reasons Greenwood Patients Choose Bloom Dental for Invisalign
Two offices, one commute
Treatment planned in Greenwood, progress checks downtown on Virginia Ave if the workday makes that easier. Same records, same plan, no repeating yourself.
Relapse cases are routine here
Adults who had braces years ago are a large share of the aligner cases at this office. You will not have to explain why your teeth moved, or apologise for it.
Doctor-owned, not a chain
Bloom Dental was founded by a dentist in 2019 and is still dentist-led. Nobody upstairs is setting a treatment target for the month.
Digital planning in house
Digital scanning, CBCT imaging and digital smile design are shared across the group, so the plan is built on real data rather than an impression tray and an estimate.
A second opinion built in
Our doctors review cases together across all seven locations every week, so a plan with a complication in it gets more than one set of eyes before it is finalized.
Straight talk about the money
We verify what your plan actually pays, including whether an orthodontic lifetime maximum was already spent on your braces. There is also a Bloom Dental membership program if you have no coverage.

Who Plans Your Treatment in Greenwood
Dr. Malory LeBlanc, DMD
Bloom Dental · 4800 W Smith Valley Rd Suite K, Greenwood, IN
Dr. LeBlanc leads the Greenwood office and follows clear aligner cases here from the first scan through the final retainer. A good share of those cases are adults coming back for a second round years after braces, so the conversation usually starts with what moved and why rather than with a sales pitch.
She will also tell you when aligners are not the right tool for your bite. That candour is the point of a dentist-led practice, and at a consultation it is worth more than any promise about results.

Insurance, Membership and What Treatment Will Cost
Bloom Dental accepts most major carriers, including Delta Dental, Blue Cross, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Medicare, DentaQuest and AlwaysCare. Many plans treat clear aligners as an orthodontic benefit, which usually pays a share of treatment rather than all of it and normally carries a lifetime maximum. On a second round of treatment that maximum matters, because benefits spent on braces years ago may already have drawn it down. We check yours before treatment begins, so the number you are quoted is the number you pay.
Common Questions
Invisalign Questions from Greenwood and Johnson County Patients
I had braces as a teenager and my teeth moved back. Can Invisalign fix that?
Usually yes, and it is the most common reason adults book a consultation at our Greenwood office. Teeth drift back toward their original position over the years when nothing holds them, and the lower front teeth are normally where it shows first. Because the movement is often modest, a relapse case can need fewer trays than the original braces did. We scan the teeth and tell you what the plan actually looks like before you commit to anything.
Does it mean my original orthodontic treatment failed?
No. Relapse after orthodontic treatment is a well understood pattern, not a sign that the first round was done badly. Teeth are held in place by fibres and bone that keep remodelling for years, so without a retainer doing its job the teeth slowly migrate. The practical lesson is about what happens after treatment, which is why we are direct about retainers at the end of every case.
How much does Invisalign cost in Greenwood, IN?
It depends on how far the teeth need to move and how many trays the plan calls for, so we do not quote a number before we look. At the consultation we scan your teeth, build the plan, and hand you the cost in writing with your verified insurance benefit already applied. A relapse case that only needs the front teeth realigned is a different plan from a full bite correction, and the price follows the plan.
I work in downtown Indianapolis. Do I have to come back to Greenwood every time?
No. Bloom Dental runs seven Indiana offices on shared treatment records, including one on Virginia Ave in downtown Indianapolis. If a progress check is easier on a lunch break than after a drive back down US 31 or I-65, book it there instead. Your plan and your scan travel with you rather than living in one filing cabinet on Smith Valley Rd.
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
Most cases run between six months and two years. The range is wide because the tray count is set by how much movement the bite needs. Straightening a few crowded lower front teeth after a relapse sits at the short end of that range, while correcting the way the back teeth meet takes considerably longer. We give you the projected timeline in writing before you start.
Will my dental insurance cover Invisalign?
Many plans cover clear aligners under an orthodontic benefit, which usually pays a share rather than the whole treatment, and most apply a lifetime maximum. That maximum matters for a second round of treatment, because benefits used on braces years ago may already have drawn it down. Bloom Dental accepts most major carriers including Delta Dental, Blue Cross, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Medicare, DentaQuest and AlwaysCare, and we verify your specific benefit first.
