What to Expect

It’s important that you wear your clear aligners for 20-22 hours a day. Only remove them when you’re eating or drinking or when it’s time to brush and floss your teeth

On average, most cases are completed in just 12 months, while more complex cases may take up to 18 months. Dr Chen may also use iTero scanning to perform occlusal correction before fitting you with your aligners.

Advantages of Choosing the Invisalign Treatment

Patients who opt for this clear alternative to metal braces enjoy a more comfortable orthodontic process, as there are no metal wires or brackets rubbing the inside of their mouth. The clear trays also make them less noticeable during everyday activities, including speaking.

If you’re dreaming of straighter teeth but don’t like the idea of wearing braces, then Invisalign therapy is an excellent choice. Not only are the aligners discreet and easy to wear, but your home care process will also be as easy during treatment as before you got the trays.

Is the Invisalign Treatment Right for You?

Every new Invisalign patient begins their teeth straightening process with a consultation. Dr Chen will want to assess your bite, health and shape of your gums and screen for any tooth decay. After we evaluate your X-ray, we can determine if this aligner treatment is right for you.

FAQs

What is Invisalign treatment, and how does it work?

Invisalign treatment uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually reposition your teeth into a more even alignment.

Each aligner is custom-made using advanced digital scanning technology to fit over your teeth. When worn as directed, they apply gentle, consistent pressure that encourages gradual movement without the need for metal wires or brackets.

The aligners are almost invisible and can be taken out when eating, drinking or brushing your teeth, making them a discreet and convenient orthodontic option for many patients.

How do I know if I’m a candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign may be suitable for many adults and teens who wish to improve their smile without traditional braces. It can address mild to moderate spacing, crowding or bite concerns. However, not everyone is an ideal candidate. A comprehensive dental assessment, including X-rays and digital scans, is needed to determine whether Invisalign will effectively achieve your goals.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on your lifestyle, needs and the complexity of tooth movement required. Some people achieve their results in as little as six to 12 months, while others with more advanced alignment goals may require 18 months or longer. Each case is unique, and progress depends on consistent aligner wear and regular check-ups.

During your initial consultation, Dr Chen will carefully assess your bite, spacing and overall dental health to design a personalised treatment plan with a realistic timeframe and clear milestones.

What results can I expect from Invisalign?

Results vary depending on the starting position of your teeth and your commitment to wearing the aligners as prescribed. Most patients notice visible improvements within a few months, with gradual alignment changes over time.

Dr Chen will review your progress at each visit and provide professional guidance to help you achieve a straighter, healthier smile that complements your natural features.

Is Invisalign painful?

Pain or discomfort levels can vary from person to person, depending on individual tolerance. Invisalign treatment is generally comfortable, though you may notice mild pressure or tightness for a few days each time you change to a new set of aligners. Most patients describe it as slight tenderness rather than pain, and it typically settles as your mouth adjusts. You can help ease the transition by switching aligners before bedtime, staying hydrated and following your Invisalign dentist’s care tips.

If any discomfort persists, Dr Chen and the team are always available to provide advice and ensure your treatment stays on track comfortably.

Can I eat normally with Invisalign?

Yes. With Invisalign, aligners are removed before eating or drinking, which means there are no specific dietary restrictions as there often are with traditional braces. This allows you to continue enjoying your usual foods and meals throughout treatment, provided you follow your dentist’s instructions for aligner care and wear time.

To maintain good oral health, it’s recommended that you brush and rinse before reinserting your aligners after meals.

Will I need to visit my dentist often during my Invisalign treatment?

Regular check-ups are an essential part of your Invisalign journey. You’ll typically visit Dr Chen every six to eight weeks so we can monitor your progress and provide your next set of aligners. These visits are usually shorter and less frequent than those for fixed braces, offering greater flexibility for busy schedules.

How much does Invisalign cost?

The total cost of Invisalign treatment depends on several factors, including the number of aligners needed and the complexity of your case. At MySolutions Dental Clinic, we provide a detailed quote and treatment plan following your initial consultation. We also offer flexible payment plans and financing options to make your orthodontic care more affordable and accessible.

Why should I choose an Invisalign-certified dentist?

Dr Chen is a certified Invisalign provider who has completed advanced training in digital orthodontic planning and aligner-based treatment. This ensures that your care is guided by a qualified dental professional experienced in both aesthetic and functional outcomes. Patients benefit from Dr Chen’s commitment to precision, patient comfort and clear communication throughout every stage of treatment.
