Step 1: Initial Consultation and 3D Imaging
We start with a detailed consultation where we take photos, X-rays, and digital scans of your teeth. Using this information, we create a custom ClinCheck 3D treatment plan that maps out how your teeth will move over time.
Step 2: Custom Aligners
Based on the 3D treatment plan, we provide you with a series of custom-made aligners. You will wear each aligner for about 1-2 weeks before moving to the next set, progressively shifting your teeth into the desired position.
Step 3: Progress Monitoring
You’ll visit our clinic every 6-8 weeks to monitor your progress and receive new sets of aligners. After completing the treatment, we will provide retainers to maintain your new smile.

Frequently Asked Question
Will I have to wear my Invisalign clear aligners all the time?
Invisalign clear aligners can be easily taken out and put back in as and when you need to do so, for example when brushing and flossing your teeth, eating, whilst playing contact sports and for special occasions. However, you must ensure to wear your clear aligners for a minimum of 20 hours per day to get the results you want.
Is Invisalign painful?
You may experience mild discomfort when switching to a new set of aligners, but this feeling typically fades after a few days.
Can I eat and drink with Invisalign?
You must remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This helps maintain their clarity and cleanliness.
How do I clean my Invisalign aligners?
Rinse your aligners with lukewarm water and brush them gently. Avoid using toothpaste, as it may scratch the plastic.
