At Dentalis, most patients fall between S$5,900 and S$6,900+ at our clinic, depending on case complexity and treatment system. Invisalign® treatment starts from $2,500 for Invisalign Express. Your total cost depends on the complexity and length of your case. A consultation is needed for a full treatment plan and exact quote.

Invisalign® treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of each case. Typical treatment ranges from several months to over a year, but on average, it takes about 6 to 12 months. Mild cases may complete in 4–6 months, while moderate or more complex movements may take longer. Your dentist will share an estimated timeline based on your digital treatment plan.

Clear aligners work best for mild crowding, mild spacing, moderate bite discrepancies and post-braces relapse. More complex bite or skeletal issues may require alternative orthodontic approaches, which will be discussed during your assessment.

Invisalign uses removable clear trays, making cleaning easier and offering a discreet experience.

Braces use fixed brackets and wires, which may be more suitable for certain complex tooth movements. Your dentist will advise which option better fits your case and goals.

Different aligner systems vary in materials, planning tools, level of dentist supervision and the types of cases they can treat. See our full guide on Invisalign vs clear aligners in Singapore for a neutral comparison.

In most day-to-day interactions, Invisalign aligners are barely noticeable. Attachments may be visible up close, but they are tooth-coloured and discreet.

Contact the clinic as soon as possible. Your dentist will advise whether to move forward, revert to a previous tray or replace the aligner.

Clear aligner treatment is generally not Medisave-claimable. Some insurance plans may offer partial coverage depending on your policy.

Rinse aligners when removing, use cool or lukewarm water, and clean daily with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive cleanser. Brush and floss before reinserting.

Yes — retainers help maintain your new alignment. At Dentalis, we believe in Invisalign's Vivera retainers as our Invisalign patients would be more comfortable with the same comfort fit and technology. Your dentist will provide a personalised retention plan to keep your smile stable.

Typically every 6–8 weeks, depending on your case, treatment progress and whether refinements are required.

You may feel mild pressure for the first few days when you switch to a new aligner. This is normal and usually settles quickly — most patients find Invisalign® more comfortable than braces, with no sharp wires or brackets to irritate cheeks — just gentle pressure that eases in a day or two.

Typically every 6–8 weeks to ensure your treatment stays on track and to receive your next sets of aligners.

Invisalign uses a tier system — Bronze, Silver, Gold, Gold Plus, Platinum, Platinum Plus, Diamond and Diamond Plus — to classify providers based on the number of Invisalign cases completed within a specific period.

Generally, higher tiers reflect higher case volume at the clinic level.

However, most patients are unaware of how these tiers work in real life.

What most people don’t know about Invisalign tiers

1. Tiers reflect the clinic’s combined volume — not always one dentist’s entire experience.

Large dental groups often achieve Gold, Platinum or Diamond status because multiple dentists contribute to the clinic’s overall Invisalign numbers.

A smaller boutique clinic may show a lower tier even if its principal dentist has treated many Invisalign patients personally.

2. When a dentist moves clinics, their Invisalign count resets.

Even if a dentist has managed numerous Invisalign cases in their career, Invisalign requires them to start their case count from zero when joining or opening a new clinic.

This means a new practice will usually begin at Bronze or Silver, regardless of the dentist’s past experience.

3. Tiers measure quantity — not clinical judgement or outcomes.

Invisalign tiers reflect the number of cases handled, not:

• diagnostic accuracy

• treatment planning skills

• aesthetic understanding

• ability to manage complex cases

• long-term stability of results

Your final smile depends far more on the clinician designing your treatment than the tier badge on the clinic’s website.

What this means for our dentists at Dentalis

Our dentists have managed numerous Invisalign cases during their years at other practices. When they move, the Invisalign tier reset under the new clinic, even though their clinical background spans more years and cases than the tier alone shows.

At Dentalis, Invisalign treatment is guided through a considered, personalised process: detailed assessment, digital planning, attention to facial balance, and conversations that move at the patient’s pace.

The focus is also on thoughtful care, understanding facial balance and predictable outcomes.

This is why tiers such as Gold, Platinum or Diamond can provide context, but may not always reflect the full depth of a dentist’s experience.

In summary

• Invisalign tiers (Bronze → Diamond Plus) indicate a clinic’s recent case volume.

• They do not capture a dentist’s full career experience or approach.

• When a dentist moves clinics, their tier resets.

• The dentist planning your smile matters far more than the tier shown.

• Your comfort and trust level with the dentist is important as it is a journey, not a sprint.

Yes — Invisalign is especially popular among adults who prefer a discreet, removable treatment option that fits into professional and social routines. It’s also effective for correcting post-braces relapse.
