A Clear Way to Guide Your Smile

 

If you’ve ever wanted to align your teeth without metal brackets or wires, Invisalign may be an option to explore.

At Artisan Dental Singapore, Invisalign treatment is designed to help guide teeth into better alignment through a series of clear, removable trays — each shaped precisely to your smile.

 

The process begins with a digital 3D scan of your teeth.

This scan allows your dentist to map out the expected movement of each tooth and design a sequence of aligners that work step by step to achieve that goal.

Each aligner is worn for most of the day, around 20 to 22 hours, and replaced with the next one according to your plan.

 

Because Invisalign trays are smooth and transparent, they blend easily into daily routines.

You can remove them when eating or brushing, making it simple to maintain your usual habits and oral hygiene.

With digital planning and close dentist supervision, your progress is carefully monitored throughout the entire journey.

How Invisalign Works

 

Invisalign treatment relies on a digital planning process and controlled, sequential tooth movement.

Each aligner is slightly different from the one before, applying light, consistent pressure to specific teeth according to the digital treatment plan.

 

Digital Mapping and Planning

Everything starts with a precise 3D scan.

This scan captures the shape, position, and bite relationship of your teeth.

Using specialised software, your dentist creates a customised plan that visualises each stage of movement, helping you understand how treatment is expected to progress over time.

This digital plan gives your dentist precise control over direction, sequence, and timing — ensuring each stage remains within healthy movement limits.

 

Sequential Tooth Movement

Each aligner guides your teeth a small step closer to their target position.

When worn, it applies gentle pressure that stimulates natural bone remodelling — a biological process in which bone tissue reshapes slightly, allowing the teeth to shift gradually.

Because this happens slowly and progressively, consistency is key: wearing your aligners as prescribed helps keep treatment on track.

 

Regular Monitoring and Adjustments

Every few weeks, you’ll have a short review appointment.

Your dentist checks that your teeth are tracking according to plan and makes any refinements if needed.

These visits are an important part of Invisalign care, ensuring that movement remains safe and predictable throughout.

 

Attachments and Elastics (When Needed)

Sometimes, small tooth-coloured attachments or elastics are added to improve control of specific movements.

These components are simple to place and remove and allow your dentist to fine-tune your treatment.

 

Retention After Alignment

Once the active alignment phase is complete, retainers help maintain your results.

These are custom-made to hold your teeth in their new positions while the surrounding bone and gums stabilise.

Retention is an essential step in keeping your smile aligned long after treatment ends.

Who Invisalign May Be Suitable For

 

Invisalign can be used to manage several common alignment concerns, including:

• Mild to moderate crowding or overlapping teeth
• Gaps or spaces between teeth
• Certain bite irregularities, such as overbite, underbite, or crossbite
• Minor shifts that occur after past orthodontic treatment

 

During your consultation, your dentist will examine your teeth, bite, and gum health to determine whether Invisalign or another orthodontic option would be most suitable for you.

The Invisalign Journey at Artisan Dental

 

Consultation and Digital Scan

Your journey begins with a consultation to understand your goals and assess your oral health.

A digital scan of your teeth provides the foundation for accurate planning.

 

Treatment Planning

Your dentist uses 3D digital software to design a sequence of custom aligners that guide your teeth through each planned stage of movement. You’ll be shown a digital simulation illustrating how the aligners are intended to move your teeth over time. This helps you understand the process clearly and discuss your treatment plan with your dentist before it begins.

 

Aligner Fitting

Once your first sets of aligners are ready, your dentist ensures they fit comfortably and explains how to wear, remove, and clean them properly.

 

Progress Reviews

Review appointments are scheduled every few weeks to monitor progress and provide new aligners.

These visits keep treatment steady, safe, and well-guided.

 

Retention Phase

After alignment is complete, retainers help preserve your results and support long-term stability.

Living with Invisalign

 

You can remove them when eating, drinking, or brushing, which makes oral hygiene simple to maintain.

Since there are no wires or brackets, cleaning and flossing remain easy, and you can continue enjoying your usual foods.

 

Mild tightness or pressure when changing to a new set is normal and typically fades within a few days.

Aligners should be cleaned daily using a soft toothbrush and cool water, and kept in their protective case when not in use.

 

Because Invisalign is removable, your lifestyle remains largely unchanged — allowing you to smile, speak, and work comfortably throughout treatment.

Duration and Progress

 

The duration of Invisalign treatment depends on how much movement is required.

Some patients complete their plan in several months, while others may need longer for more complex adjustments.

Your dentist will discuss the estimated timeframe once your digital plan is finalised.

 

Regular reviews ensure that progress stays on track and that movement continues at a healthy, controlled pace.

After Invisalign Treatment

 

When active treatment concludes, you’ll enter the retention phase.

Custom retainers are worn to help stabilise the new tooth positions while your bite and gums adjust.

Your dentist will advise how often to wear them and will continue to review your smile during follow-up visits.

 

Routine dental check-ups and professional cleaning remain an important part of maintaining both alignment and oral health.
