If you’re considering orthodontic treatment and want an effective and nearly invisible solution, you may have heard of Invisalign+. Invisalign is one of the popular choices for orthodontic therapy. But how does Invisalign+ work, and what sets it apart from other treatments, such as traditional braces? This guide will break it down for you in simple terms.
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?
- 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 precise 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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?
Treatment duration varies from person to person, depending on the case's complexity. On average, Invisalign+ treatment takes between 12 to 18 months. Your dentist will give you a more accurate estimate based on your needs.
FAQs:
1) How does Invisalign help reduce the black triangular gaps between teeth?
Ans: Before starting your Invisalign journey, if black triangles are likely to appear, Interproximal reductions are made to the proximal side of your teeth to prevent or minimise their size.
2) How do I maintain my oral hygiene during treatment?
Ans: Brush your teeth twice daily, flossing your teeth, and cleaning your retainers twice daily are ideal for maintaining proper oral hygiene during your Invisalign treatment. In addition to this, professional dental cleaning is also advisable.
3) How is Invisalign+/Invisalign different from metal braces?
Ans: Conventional braces involve the placement of metal wires and brackets that connect these metal or ceramic brackets cemented to each of your teeth. These are fixed to your teeth and can only be removed by your dentist. Invisalign+/Invisalign treatment involves custom-made aligners that are removable whenever you eat or drink.
4) What is the treatment cost of Invisalign+?
Ans: Investing in your smile is vital, considering the exceptional results Invisalign+ can achieve. Prices typically range from $3000 to $9000, depending on the complexity of your treatment plan. To ensure you select the ideal plan tailored to your specific needs, we highly recommend consulting with our experienced Invisalign-certified dentist.
