What is Invisalign?
Clear aligners are an aesthetic alternative to conventional braces. They are discreet and comfortable to wear, allowing you to smile with confidence while straightening your teeth. These aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth and gradually shift them into their desired positions.
Benefits of Invisalign
Who is suitable for Invisalign?
Invisalign is suitable for a wide range of patients, from teenagers to adults who want a discreet and comfortable way to achieve a straighter smile.
Invisalign can address both common and complex misalignment issues under the supervision of our team of orthodontists, such as:
Gaps/Spacing
Extra space or gaps between teeth can lead to issues with chewing, speech, and the overall appearance of your smile.
Overcrowding
When teeth are unable to fit properly due to limited space in the jaw, overcrowding happens. Teeth can be pushed forward, backward, upwards, overlapped, or twisted.
Overbite
When the upper teeth overlap the lower teeth vertically.
Open Bite
When the front teeth don't meet when the mouth is closed.
Cross Bite
If some of your upper teeth sit behind your lower teeth, it can impact your bite and jaw alignment.
Underbite (Reverse Overjet)
Occurs when the lower jaw protrudes further than the upper jaw.
During your face-to-face consultation, our dentists will assess your dental condition and provide a more accurate diagnosis to determine whether Invisalign is the right solution for you.
To determine what is most suitable for you based on your dental habits, lifestyle, and preferences, we recommend speaking to our dentists who can provide further guidance and advice.
Procedure process
Consultation
Upon assessment that you are suitable for Invisalign treatment, a digital scan or impressions (“mould”) of your teeth will be taken.
Treatment Plan
Our dentist will develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs and sequence the movement of teeth accordingly.
Using this plan as a blueprint, a series of aligners will be custom-made to fit your teeth.
Aligner Fabrication
Based on the treatment plan, a series of custom-made aligners are created in a laboratory. These aligners are made of clear plastic and are designed to gradually shift your teeth.
Aligner Wear
You will receive your first set of aligners and wear them according to your orthodontist’s instructions.
Each set is typically worn for 7–14 days, depending on case complexity.
Monitoring
There may be slight discomfort in the first few days of aligner wear, as well as with each change of aligner set, as your teeth are being moved into the desired positions.
Completion & Maintenance
Once your treatment is completed, you’ll receive a retainer to maintain the results of your tooth movement.
Regular dental check-ups are recommended to ensure long-term stability of your new smile.
We are a Digital Practice
Denticare is a fully digital dental practice that uses the iTero 3D scanner to create digital impressions of your teeth. This modern approach eliminates the need for traditional moulds, making the scanning process faster and more comfortable for patients.
The digital scan also allows our dentists to visualise your treatment outcome and provide simulations of your expected results, helping you better understand how your future smile may look. The scanner also enables our orthodontists to customise your aligners and monitor your treatment progress.

FAQ
Invisalign treatment can range from a few months to a few years, depending on case complexity.
Should your aligners break or go missing, please inform our orthodontist as soon as possible and he/she will advise you of the next steps.
The aligners should be worn most of the day and during your sleep, approximately 20 hours a day. Aligners must be cleaned daily to avoid plaque build-up. They also have to be removed before food and beverages, to prevent food and sugar accumulation within the aligners. Care must be exercised not to lose or distort your aligners.
