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.
