Invisible Braces
Invisalign treatment uses a series of clear, removable aligners that gently shift your teeth into their desired positions over time. These aligners are thin, comfortable, and virtually invisible, making them a popular alternative to traditional metal braces. If you are looking for a discreet way to straighten your teeth, clear braces like Invisalign offer a fantastic solution. At Align Braces Clinic, we provide Invisalign as an effective teeth aligner treatment at affordable rates. Whether you are exploring cheap Invisalign options in Singapore or seeking a customised treatment plan, our team is here to help you achieve a confident, natural-looking smile.
Why should I choose Invisalign?
Invisalign’s research spans over 20 years and is the most advanced clear aligner system in the world. Moreover, over 14 million people have used Invisalign clear aligners to transform their smiles. The plastic aligners are FDA-approved and do not contain BPA, BPS, latex, or gluten.
Common Dental Issues Treatable with Invisalign Clear Braces
Invisalign clear aligners are a popular option for addressing a wide range of dental concerns discreetly. By turning to invisible braces, patients in Singapore can treat conditions like overcrowded teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, and crossbites, all while maintaining a natural appearance throughout their orthodontic journey. Here are the types of dental concerns that can be successfully addressed with these clear braces:
1. Overcrowded Teeth
Invisalign is highly effective in treating overcrowded teeth, where there is insufficient space for teeth to align naturally. The clear aligners gently guide the teeth into proper alignment over the course of treatment.
2. Gaps Between Teeth
Clear aligners are proficient in closing gaps between teeth, providing a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result. This can enhance both the appearance and functionality of the smile.
3. Overbite
In cases of overbite, where the upper front teeth overlap the lower ones, Invisalign helps gradually correct the bite alignment. The aligners encourage the repositioning of the teeth for a harmonious bite.
4. Underbite
For individuals with an underbite, where the lower teeth protrude beyond the upper ones, Invisalign can address this misalignment. The clear aligners work to achieve a more balanced and functional bite.
5. Crossbite
In situations where the upper and lower jaws do not align correctly, resulting in a crossbite, Invisalign clear aligners can bring the jaws into proper alignment over the course of treatment.
Invisalign clear aligners are customised to fit comfortably over the teeth and are virtually invisible. The treatment process involves a series of aligners that are changed at regular intervals to gradually shift the teeth into their desired positions.
Why Choose Clear Braces and Invisible Braces?
Discreet Appearance
Clear aligners act as virtually invisible braces, allowing you to straighten your teeth without noticeable metal brackets or wires. This makes clear braces a great option for both adults and teens who prefer a natural smile during treatment.
Comfortable Fit
Designed to fit snugly over your teeth, clear braces eliminate the irritation commonly caused by traditional braces. The smooth plastic surface minimises discomfort to your lips and cheeks.
Removable Convenience
With invisible braces, you can remove the aligners when eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, making daily activities much easier compared to fixed metal braces.
Fewer Food Restrictions
Since the aligners are removable, there are no limits to your diet. Enjoy your favourite meals without worrying about damaging brackets or wires.
Easier Oral Hygiene
Brushing and flossing are simple with clear braces, helping you maintain healthier gums and teeth throughout the course of your treatment.
Starting Your Teeth Aligner Journey: What to Expect
-
Your journey to a straighter smile starts with a one-on-one consultation. Using X-rays and a digital iTero scan, we will assess your facial profile, teeth, and bite to tailor your treatment plan.
-
Our orthodontists will create a detailed Invisalign treatment plan based on your dental needs. You will be able to visualise the expected movements and the projected outcome of your teeth aligner treatment.
-
Small tooth-coloured attachments may be placed on certain teeth to guide the aligners. You will be fitted with your first set of clear braces, and instructed on how to wear and care for them.
-
New aligners are worn every 7–14 days. Progress is reviewed approximately every 4–8 aligners to ensure your teeth are moving according to plan. Additional aligners may be prescribed if refinements are needed.
-
After completing your invisible braces treatment, a set of retainers will be provided to maintain your beautiful new smile.
For best results, the Invisalign clear aligners should be worn 22 hours a day and a new aligner is used every 7 — 14 days. We will check on your smile progress every 4 — 8 aligners to ensure a smooth aligning journey!
Additional Invisalign clear aligners may be required to tweak the final tooth positions. Once your Invisalign treatment is completed at Align Braces Clinic Singapore, you will be given a set of retainers to maintain your beautiful smile!

Frequently Asked Questions about Invisalign Clear Braces
-
The duration of your Invisalign treatment in Singapore will depend on the complexity of your case and compliance with the use of the clear aligners and chewies. In general, orthodontic treatment duration ranges from around 1-3 years.
-
Over more than 20 years, Invisalign’s technology has improved through research and Invisalign clear aligners are currently able to treat most complex cases as well as conventional dental braces. In some cases, Invisalign clear aligners may even be a preferred option - do check with your orthodontist in Singapore to see which orthodontic appliance suits you best!
-
With all types of orthodontic appliances, gentle pressure is applied as your teeth are moved to the desired position. This creates the “aching” or “sore” feeling in your teeth. Invisalign clear aligners are designed to make controlled steps in teeth movement as you change each aligner, so that the comfort and speed of treatment is well balanced. At Align Braces Clinic Singapore, we seek to maximise our patient’s comfort by customising and designing your Invisalign treatment plan such that the forces of each clear aligner are low and evenly distributed. As you diligently wear your aligners, the tightness fades away quickly!
Unlike fixed braces brackets, Invisalign clear aligners do not have sharp corners that may cause the occasional abrasion to your lips and cheeks - and that means no more ulcers!
-
Depending on your initial teeth position, orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign, may be able to improve your lip profile by moving your teeth to the appropriate positions. However, like any other orthodontic treatment, Invisalign only moves teeth and not your jaw. Hence, the correction of the jaw profile can only be corrected by jaw surgery.
-
Yes! This is one of the perks which comes with adopting Invisalign for your orthodontic treatment! You can remove the aligners for meals, brushing, flossing, special occasions, sports and playing of instruments. Just make sure to wear your aligners for at least 20-22 hours daily for best results!
-
Remove your aligners while eating and drinking, except for cold plain water. Food and drinks may stain and crack the aligners and hot water will cause them to deform.
Brush your teeth after meals before putting your aligners back on. Food trapped under the aligners may encourage bacteria growth which leads to tooth decay.
Always store your aligners in the case provided. Keep aligners away from hot food and drinks, hot car dashboards, pockets, the washing machine, napkins, and pets!
It’s simple to clean your aligners! Using a toothbrush and toothpaste will do the trick.
Aligners are breakable, so treat yours with care.
-
If you lose or break your Invisalign clear aligner, contact our clinic in Singapore immediately. Our doctors at Align Braces Clinic Singapore will work with you to make sure your Invisalign clear aligner treatment plan continues to proceed smoothly. Depending on your treatment progress, your doctor may advise you to skip to the next aligner, or revert to the previous aligner while ordering a replacement for the lost aligners. It is best to safe-keep your previous set of aligners every time you move on to your next aligners for emergencies like these.
To avoid losing your aligners, always store your retainers in the case provided. Do label your case with your name and contact number.
-
Like all orthodontic treatment, you will have to wear a set of retainers once you have completed your Invisalign clear aligner journey in Singapore to maintain your new smile. Retainers should be worn all the time for the first 6 months after completing your Invisalign treatment, and thereafter every night minimally to prevent your teeth from shifting out of position. As the saying goes, “ wear your retainers for as long as you want your teeth to be straight”!
Our Invisalign packages come with a set of clear retainers which work the same way, and are slightly thicker and more durable compared to your Invisalign clear aligners. If you prefer to have retainers which are more similar to the Invisalign aligners, you may opt for Vivera retainers instead.
Vivera retainers are tailored for individuals undergoing Invisalign treatment in Singapore. Made from advanced materials, Vivera retainers are durable and precisely crafted to fit along the gumline. To ensure the longevity of the results from your Invisalign treatment at Align Braces Clinic Singapore, Vivera retainers are a good choice for clear retainers.
