Aesthetic Advantages:
Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, made from a proprietary “Smart Track” material that’s light and almost undetectable to the naked eye. This allows for discreet orthodontic treatment, perfect for individuals who want to improve their smiles without announcing it to the world.
Comfort and Convenience:
The design of Invisalign aligners ensures comfort. They’re smooth and tailored to your teeth, eliminating abrasions on the tongue, lips, or cheeks often associated with traditional braces. Additionally, they offer the flexibility to be removed at will, accommodating your lifestyle and comfort.
No Dietary Restrictions:
Invisalign aligners are designed to be removed during meals, allowing you to enjoy your favourite foods without limitations, and maintain optimal oral hygiene easily by brushing and flossing as you normally would.
Flexibility and Fewer Dental Visits:
With Invisalign, you’re given several aligners at a time, reducing the frequency of dental visits. Our team will notify you when it’s time to transition to the next aligner in the series, providing the perfect balance between professional oversight and personal convenience.
Transparency in Treatment Planning:
Invisalign’s advanced 3D ClinCheck Pro® technology allows us to create a detailed visual representation of your current dental condition and the expected results after treatment. This transparency in the treatment planning stage ensures you’re fully informed about your journey towards a better smile, even before the treatment begins at our clinics in Singapore.
Determining the suitability for Invisalign treatment largely depends on the individual’s unique orthodontic needs and personal preferences. Here are some key points to consider that might help you understand if Invisalign could be the right choice for you:
All Invisalign treatment at our clinic in Singapore begins with a detailed consultation with you. We will take the time to understand your concerns and what exactly you want to correct about your teeth position or your bite.
We will then proceed with a thorough records-taking session. This includes X-rays, scans, impressions, and photographs to ensure a complete understanding of your current dental situation. This involves:
Invisalign is generally regarded as a safe orthodontic treatment. However, like any medical procedure, it may come with potential risks and complications.
At our clinic in Singapore, we ensure patients are well-informed about potential risks. We take steps to mitigate these issues, like custom fitting the aligners, patient education on oral hygiene, and prompt management of any complications. Regular follow-ups allow early detection and management of issues.
A significant advantage with Invisalign is the level of comfort throughout the process. There are no brackets and wire, so you do not feel anything pushing against your gums, lips or tongue. It is an entirely painless process.
This will be dependent on your specific condition. Some Invisalign treatments take as little as ten weeks to achieve your dream smile. Others can take up to 12-14 months to achieve the desired result. One certainty is that as long as you wear your aligners, you will see great results in a relatively short time frame. You will also enjoy the process.
Essentially, a clear aligner is made to fit on your teeth as they are right now. Then, one is made for the final position of your teeth. A few aligners will be made between the start and end of your treatment, correcting your teeth’s position a few millimetres at a time. This ensures that your teeth is not subjected to too much pressure, allowing them to remain healthy and strong.
That said, keep in mind that we are changing the position of each tooth with every aligner you wear. As long as your aligners are worn constantly, there will be a constant but very light force on each tooth to move it into the desired position gradually.
The number of aligners you need depends on how much straightening is required. It can be anywhere between 7 to 25 or 30 aligners.
Each aligner is generally worn for two weeks. During those two weeks, your teeth will shift into the position predetermined for that particular aligner. Then, we will move on to the next aligner and so on until your teeth are in the final desired position shown to you during the initial 3D mockup.
Unfortunately, you can only use Medisave typically for surgical procedures or day surgeries. If you are uncertain, give our staff at our clinic a call to check first before starting on your Invisalign treatment in Singapore.
Typically, dental insurance plans do not cover orthodontic treatments at clinics like Invisalign in Singapore and are supplementary benefits that have to be paid for separately.
Yes, you will have to do so. But the good news is that after a certain period of time, you do not need to wear it for such long hours every day.
In some cases, this can happen if your teeth move positions after the treatment or when you do not wear your retainers daily.
The cost of Invisalign at our clinic in Singapore depends on the complexity and duration of treatment.
Various financial options exist, including insurance coverage and Medisave claims, to help defray treatment costs. In addition, the Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) provides subsidies for Singaporeans, which can be applicable for certain dental procedures.
At Ashford, we offer interest-free instalment plans for all orthodontic treatments. Please get in touch with us for further pricing details.
