Start treatment

Invisalign in Singapore has been the current most popular choice for teeth straighteners. You get the same or better results than braces without using the metal.

Invisalign has become a fantastic way to straighten your teeth within a shorter time. It also saves you from the embarrassment and discomfort of wearing conventional braces. As a result, you will remain confident while undergoing treatment.

If you're on the fence about whether or not this transparent plastic aligner system is right for you, consider what our smile experts have to say.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a clear set of hard plastic aligners designed to correct dental alignment or occlusion problems.

A balanced occlusion or healthy bite occurs when both the upper and lower teeth come into contact simultaneously. On the other hand, malocclusions or bad bites are uneven teeth alignment. It can also happen when teeth don't meet or make proper contact. 

If not treated, misaligned bites can cause teeth to loosen and even fall out. They can also cause a receding gum line, painful or clicking jaw joints, headaches, and neck pain.

The great news is that the Invisalign system can efficiently correct a wide range of malocclusion issues such as:

Overbite
Underbite
Crossbite
Gap Teeth
Open Bite

Crowded Teeth

Straighter Teeth

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign employs a 3D dental scanner to capture the patient's teeth condition. Then, this digital dental impression will be the basis for developing a comprehensive 3D treatment plan using Clincheck.

After finalizing the clincheck plan, your dentist will schedule an appointment to explain the treatment process and show you the virtual final result.

Clincheck is software created by Invisalign to help dentists and patients visualize the final treatment results. It has the capability of showing patients what their teeth will look like even before the treatment begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Invisalign painful?

Invisalign is far less painful than traditional braces. Occasionally, patients may experience mild tightness while fitting on a new set of aligners. Feeling some tightness is entirely normal and will pass in a few days. In most cases, patients report no discomfort at all.

How long will the treatment last?

The average treatment time with Invisalign is six months. However, depending on the severity of the case, it may take longer.

What is the treatment process?

Invisalign treatment starts with a consultation with an Invisalign-trained doctor. Your doctor will evaluate your smile and then map out a precise, customized digital treatment plan that showcases the step-by-step transformation of your smile.

Once you approve your plan, your unique aligners will be created. You will wear each set of aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, changing to a new set of aligners every 1 to 2 weeks, as directed by your doctor. Each set of aligners will gently and gradually shift your teeth into place, according to your treatment plan, until you reach your beautiful new smile.

How much does Invisalign treatment cost?

Treatment cost depends on the severity of your case and the number of aligners required.

How should I care for my aligners?

Brush them thoroughly with toothpaste before rinsing them with water in the morning and night. Don't use hot water as it might permanently deform the plastic.

Make sure to brush and floss your teeth before putting them back on and ensure that no food debris gets stuck in the trays.

Finally, remember to keep your aligners in their cases when not in use. You may have to remove your aligners several times throughout the day, especially when eating or brushing your teeth. However, please do not leave them anywhere or risk losing them. Keep the case with you at all times to keep your aligners safe and clean.
