How Does Invisalign+ Work to Transform Your Smile?

Orthodontics has changed a lot since the days of traditional wire and brackets.Today, we offer a new level of clear aligner treatment with Invisalign+. Using modern technology, the Invisalign+ treatment uses an innovative and comprehensive clinical framework to help patients achieve the desired result through the proper alignment of their teeth and facial symmetry. Here are some differences between how we provide you with the aligners as compared to how traditional aligners would fit, as well as how we will be helping you achieve all of this with Invisalign+. Read this article to know more. 

What Is Invisalign+?

Invisalign+ is an upgraded version of the Invisalign system, crafted to address orthodontic dental issues while complementing your unique facial features. It uses a series of custom-made, clear, removable aligners that gradually shift your teeth into the desired position without needing metal brackets or wires.

What Is The Invisalign+ Process About?

1. Initial Consultation and Scan: During this first visit, our Invisalign-certified dentist will ensure that your teeth are scanned using advanced 3D imaging technology scan. This scan captures your teeth' exact shape and position, allowing for a proper treatment plan. During this visit, our dentist will also thoroughly examine your teeth to identify any potential dental issues and go through the 8-point analysis to help us design your treatment process.
   
   
2. Custom Treatment Plan: Based on the scan and other dental assessments, a customised treatment plan is created using Invisalign’s software. This plan shows how your teeth will gradually move over time and gives you an idea of your final smile. You may also see a simulation of how your smile transforms into straighter teeth and a confident smile.
3. Processing your clear aligners: Once you consent to the proposed treatment process, the Invisalign team will process your personalised treatment plan into sets of clear plastic aligners.
4. Clear Aligners: You will receive a series of clear aligners custom-made for your teeth. Each set of aligners is designed to move your teeth slightly closer to their ideal positions. You’ll wear each aligner for about 20- 22 hours per day for 1-2 weeks before switching to the next set in the series. With the help of our Invisalign app, you may be able to track your progress on which set you are on and when to change the set.
5. Regular Checkups: During the treatment, you’ll have regular checkups with our dentist to monitor your progress. Our dentist would also do complimentary six monthly scans of your teeth to check your progress. These visits allow for adjustments and help ensure your treatment stays on track.
6. Completion and Retainer: Once your teeth have reached the desired position, your Invisalign+ treatment will be complete. To preserve your new smile, it is essential to wear invisalign retainer for approximately 12 to 20 hours daily during the initial months, then transition to night time wear only. This practice will help prevent any shifting of your straight teeth back to their original positions.

Why Choose Invisalign+?

• Discreet: The aligners are made of clear plastic, making them nearly virtually invisible when worn, so you can go through treatment without anyone noticing.
• Removable: Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign+ aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, and brushing, offering greater flexibility and comfort.
• Comfortable: The smooth plastic of the aligners reduces irritation to your gums and cheeks, a common issue with traditional metal braces.

How Long Does Invisalign+ Take?

Your treatment plan is designed specifically for your needs, while our accelerated programme allows people to finish their treatment in less than one year on average, with the vast majority of cases being completed within 6–12 months. Your dentist will provide an estimated time frame for your individual 3D digital scan and clinical findings during your first meeting. 

How Is Invisalign+ Different At Dental Designs

• Accredited Clinical Experience: Our dentists are Invisalign-accredited with a documented history of managing cases ranging from simple crowding to complex malocclusions.

• Accelerated Clinical Timelines: The Invisalign+ protocol is an accelerated programme designed to reach clinical goals within 6 to 12 months for most moderate cases.
• Non-Extraction Whenever Possible: We prioritise a non-extraction approach, successfully treating approximately 90% of our patients without the need for tooth removal by utilising space-gaining techniques.
• Patient-Centric Accessibility: Located near major MRT stations, our clinics offer flexible instalment-based payment plans to ensure specialised orthodontic care is financially accessible.

FAQs For How Does Invisalign+ Work 

1. How does the 8-point analysis make Invisalign+ different from standard Invisalign?

The 8-point smile analysis is a comprehensive assessment that helps to create a customised treatment plan. It considers all aspects of your smile, going beyond just straightening teeth.

2. Can I achieve results in under a year with Invisalign+?

You may be able to achieve results in a period of six (6) to twelve (12) months with the accelerated protocol, depending on your case.

3. Will I need to have teeth extracted for Invisalign+ treatment?

This depends on a case by case basis. Our team of Invisalign-accredited dentists will try to avoid extractions, whenever possible.

4. How does the iTero 3D scanner improve my treatment experience?

The iTero 3D is a digital scanner that has a handheld wand that is inserted into the mouth to scan teeth and gums. The wand device is slim, which differs from traditional impression techniques where a physical tray will have to be inserted into the mouth to take dental impressions.

5. Is Invisalign+ suitable for patients with jaw pain or TMJ issues?

Those with jaw pain or TMJ concerns may be suitable and even benefit from Invisalign if the symptoms were caused by bite issues or dental factors that can be corrected by Invisalign. This is because jaw pain or TMJ issues can arise from multiple factors. If there are other underlying causes, other forms of treatments may be needed. We recommend seeing a dentist for a checkup first.

6. Are there flexible payment options for Invisalign+ in Singapore?

Transparent monthly payments based on an instalment payment plan are available for individuals receiving treatment with Invisalign+ in Singapore.
