Invisalign in Singapore
Invisalign uses a series of clear removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth. It is suitable for many mild to moderate orthodontic cases and is popular with patients who prefer a discreet option.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a clear aligner treatment, used to straighten teeth and improve bite alignment. It uses a series of customised, removable clear aligners that gradually move your teeth into a better position over time.
Invisalign may be suitable for many mild to moderate orthodontic concerns, such as crooked teeth, gaps, crowding or minor bite issues. It is a popular option for patients who prefer a more discreet and flexible alternative to traditional braces.
At Best Smile Dental, our dentist will assess your teeth and bite condition carefully, then explain whether Invisalign is suitable for your case before starting treatment.
When Do You Need Invisalign?
Why Choose Invisalign Over Braces?
Invisalign may be suitable for patients who want a more discreet and flexible way to straighten their teeth. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are clear, removable and easier to fit into daily routines.
Clear and Less Noticeable
Invisalign aligners are transparent, making them less visible when you smile, speak or take photos.
Removable for Eating and Cleaning
You can remove the aligners when eating, brushing and flossing, making it easier to maintain your normal oral hygiene routine.
No Brackets or Wires
Invisalign does not use metal brackets or wires, so there is less risk of bracket breakage or wire irritation.
More Comfortable for Daily Wear
The aligners are customised to fit your teeth and are generally smooth against the cheeks and gums.
Suitable for Busy Lifestyles
Invisalign is popular with working adults, students and patients who prefer a treatment option that is more convenient and discreet.
Things to Consider Before Choosing Invisalign
While Invisalign is discreet and convenient, it may not be suitable for every patient. The best option depends on your teeth alignment, bite condition and lifestyle habits.
At Best Smile Dental, our dentist will assess your condition and advise whether Invisalign or braces are more suitable for your case.

Cost of Invisalign in Singapore
The cost of Invisalign in Singapore usually ranges from S$3,000 to S$10,000 or more, depending on the complexity of your case, number of aligners needed, treatment duration and whether additional dental procedures are required. At Best Smile Dental, we provide invisalign treatment with transparent fees.
CHAS and MediSave are generally not used for routine Invisalign treatment, as Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment.
Aftercare and Follow Up for Invisalign
After receiving Invisalign aligners, wear them for the recommended number of hours each day. Remove them only when eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing or flossing.
Clean your aligners daily and keep them in their case when not in use. Attend review appointments as scheduled so the dentist can monitor tooth movement and provide the next aligners when needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Invisalign treatment be painful?
Invisalign treatment is usually not painful, but your teeth may feel tight or slightly sore for a few days when you start a new set of aligners. This is normal because the aligners are gently moving your teeth into a better position. Our dentist will explain what to expect and advise you on how to manage any discomfort.
How many hours a day must I wear Invisalign?
Aligners need to be worn 20 to 22 hours a day, removed only to eat, drink anything other than water, and clean your teeth. Wearing them less slows progress, so consistency is the key to staying on track.
Does Invisalign give you a lisp?
Some people notice a slight lisp for the first few days as the tongue adjusts to the aligners. It almost always settles quickly as you get used to wearing and speaking with them.
What happens if I lose an aligner?
Contact us as soon as possible. Depending on your progress, we may advise moving to the next set or replacing the lost one. Keeping aligners in their case when not worn helps avoid losing them.
Can I use CHAS or MediSave for Invisalign?
Invisalign is not CHAS or MediSave claimable, as it is an orthodontic treatment. Our clinic team can explain the fees and payment options before treatment.
How long does the Invisalign appointment take?
The first Invisalign consultation usually takes around 30 to 60 minutes. Follow-up appointments are usually shorter and may take around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on your treatment progress.
