Invisalign in Singapore is a unique and well-established form of orthodontic treatment that offers a virtually invisible and more comfortable alternative to traditional metal braces and retainers. It uses clear plastic aligners that are custom-made to perfectly fit over your teeth and gradually move them into the desired position. Invisalign aligners are also removable, allowing you to eat, brush your teeth and floss as per usual.
These removable aligners are personalised to gradually move teeth comfortability and with no dietary or activity restriction.
During your first visit, we will discuss and tailor a customized treatment plan. This session is called the Smile Assessment, consisting of dental x-ray, photos and digital scans using the iTero Element.
Using the iTero Element scan, we will customize a 3D treatment plan. This will depict the expected final position of your teeth and also gives you an indicated timeline of your treatment duration.
The customized aligners or retainers will be made and delivered to our clinic.
You will receive your custom aligners, which you will need to wear every day. Each set of aligners will need to be replaced every 1 to 2 weeks.
You will visit us every 6 to 8 weeks (or as advised by the dentist) to check on your progress. During these checkups we will also give you your next set of replacement aligners.
Congratulations on completing your Invisalign treatment in Singapore treatment! Make sure to wear your retainers to maintain your new smile.
The length of treatment depends on complexity of teeth movement and it can only be determined by your dentist. It can range from 6 months to 24 months.

A Smile Assessment at our clinic can show you the end results of using Invisalign even before starting the treatment.
Invisalign in Singapore is available for teenagers and adults. These clear braces can close the gaps between teeth, treat overbites, underbites, overcrowded teeth, open bites and crossbites. An examination and an X-ray should be done on the patient to find out whether this treatment is suitable for them.
People with gum diseases or cavities may need those issues to be treated first before undergoing Invisalign treatment. People with dental implants, bridges or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, and so on, may also not be eligible. However, as eligibility depends on many factors, it is best for one to consult a certified Invisalign orthodontist for a detailed assessment.
Compared to traditional orthodontic treatments, Invisalign is generally not painful. However, one can still experience temporary, mild discomfort when a new set of aligners are fitted.
As the aligners are removable, they must be taken out and placed in a clean container while eating. When drinking, however, take care not to drink very hot beverages with the aligners on, as they may warp the shape of the plastic aligners. Furthermore, certain beverages, like tea and coffee, stain easily.
Invisalign is better than traditional braces in terms of it having an invisible appearance, better comfort,
shorter treatment duration and convenience in maintenance and eating.
However, it is pricier than traditional braces, and may not be suitable for severe orthodontic issues.
Many people are confused between Invisalign and clear aligners. Basically, invisible/clear aligners is a type of orthodontic product, whereas Invisalign is a specific brand of clear aligner.
