What Is Invisalign?
Most adults have 32 teeth and these teeth are positioned in a way that maintains the length, width and shape of the dental arch. The alignment of your teeth affects your facial appearance and affects how you bite, chew and smile. Correcting misaligned teeth requires customised orthodontic treatments. While metal and ceramic braces are the most common options, there are alternatives like Invisalign and various orthodontic clear aligners that may be better suited to your needs.
Invisalign dental braces are different from traditional orthodontic braces, which are noticeable and attached to the teeth surface for the duration of the treatment. Using a series of clear, removable aligner to gradually move your teeth into place, these clear aligner braces help to improve your smile in professional and social settings. Invisible and comfortable, they are fast becoming widely popular, as demand for greater flexibility with braces rise.
Advantages Of Choosing Invisalign
- With the latest cutting-edge technology, Invisalign is comfortable to wear, fits easily, and sits unobtrusively in your mouth. In fact, some patients hardly even notice that they are wearing them!
- Invisalign provides a discreet and aesthetically pleasing choice for the working professional or even students looking for a more invisible option. Made of clear plastic, Invisalign is almost invisible and light. They are almost undetectable which means that no one will know you are wearing them.
- Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign allows you to remove them whenever you need. For example, removing it to eat, to brush or floss, to do sports or for presentations.
- Gone are the restrictions to diet that come with wearing traditional braces. As you will be able to remove your aligners when you eat, you will still be able to enjoy the foods you love, while staying on track to achieving an amazing smile.
Process for Invisalign
Your experience with us begins with a thorough examination and orthodontic records (X-Rays, photographs, study models) will be taken by our dentists. This allows us to learn more about your dental needs and goals and also to aid in formulating a customized treatment plan for you. A comprehensive treatment plan will then be explained to you. After the initial consultation, we will schedule an appointment for a 3-dimensional scan of your teeth with our latest digital iTERO scanner. This gives a clearer, more precise visualization of your teeth for Invisalign to fabricate your aligners.
Once this scan is done, a simulation of your teeth movement from start to end will be developed and presented to you. During this time, the dentist will discuss the final plan with you and proceed to approve the plan. Your aligners will be ready within 3 to 4 weeks and you will start your Invisalign journey!

What does Invisalign do?
The main purpose of Invisalign is to straighten misaligned teeth and correct other dental issues. Invisalign treatment involves wearing clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. The invisible teeth aligners do not require brackets, wires or any other restrictions that typically come with metal braces. Invisalign treatment involves a series of plastic aligners that work to gently and gradually move teeth into their optimal position.
How much does Invisalign treatment cost?

We offer Invisalign treatment options with a price range starting from S$5,550, with student rates available. Contact us for more details and eligibility information.
Who is suitable for Invisalign treatment?
Invisalign clear braces are best suited to people with alignment issues such as crowded or gapped teeth. Invisalign is also suitable for both teens and adults. Considering that the teeth aligners are transparent, they might also be suitable for individuals who are self-conscious about wearing traditional metal braces. If you have severe teeth alignment issues, it is advisable to head down to a full-service clinic to determine if you are a good candidate for Invisalign treatment.
What happens when I am done with my Invisalign treatment?
Doctors recommend that anyone who has completed orthodontic treatment, whether with clear dental braces or metal braces, use a retainer to prevent their teeth from progressively shifting back to their original position. Retainers help hold your teeth in place while the jawbone that might have disappeared during your Invisalign treatment grows back. It is advisable to ask your doctor first if you need to wear retainers after your treatment.
How many hours per day do I need to wear my aligners?
When opting for invisible teeth aligners in Singapore, your orthodontist will create a personalised plan and series of aligners you will have to wear throughout your treatment. Patients typically change to a new set of aligners every 1 to 2 weeks. It is highly recommended by dentists to wear your invisible teeth aligners for at least 20 – 22 hours a day.
What is the best way to care for my aligners?
It is recommended to take your Invisalign out and clean both your teeth and your aligners thoroughly. It is crucial to start the day by cleaning your teeth and aligners, as bacteria could have built up on your clear aligner braces while you were sleeping. The best way to clean your aligners is by rinsing and brushing them in lukewarm water using the Invisalign Cleaning Crystals or any special cleaning tablets.
