- Hassle-free brushing and flossing
Our Goal: A smile that looks better, functions better, and stays stable long-term.
The Realtooth Clinical Pathway
Not Just a Quick Scan
We don't shortcut treatment into just Scan → Order → Teeth.
We execute a complete, step-by-step orthodontic protocol:
Every phase is clinically supervised by experienced orthodontists.
What Is Invisalign® Treatment?
A modern, digital approach to straightening teeth using custom-designed clear aligners.
Controlled Tooth Movement
Invisalign® treatment gradually moves teeth using a sequence of clear, customised removable aligners. Each aligner applies controlled forces according to the treatment plan, and patients progress through successive aligners as their teeth move.
Invisalign® describes its treatment system as combining customised aligners, digital treatment planning, and proprietary technologies developed specifically for predictable orthodontic tooth movement.
Daily Aligner Wear
20–22 Hours / Day
Patients are typically advised to wear Invisalign® aligners for approximately 20–22 hours per day, strictly according to their doctor's instructions for optimal results.
Invisalign® Is More Than a Transparent Aligner
Many clear aligners may look similar, but the Invisalign® system includes a combination of advanced technologies developed by Align Technology.
SmartTrack™ Material
Invisalign® aligners are manufactured using proprietary SmartTrack™ material, designed to provide controlled and predictable tooth movement while improving comfort compared with earlier aligner materials.
SmartForce™ Features
Invisalign’s SmartForce™ attachments are small, tooth-coloured features placed on selected teeth. They help the aligner apply forces more effectively when complex tooth movement requires additional control.
SmartStage™ Treatment
Invisalign’s SmartStage™ technology helps programme different tooth movements in a carefully planned sequence, rather than attempting every tooth movement simultaneously.
The Realtooth Difference: Invisalign® Technology + Realtooth Clinical Planning
The Invisalign system provides sophisticated technology.
But technology does not decide your treatment plan—clinical judgment does.
Technology alone does not decide:
These decisions require clinical judgement. That is where the Realtooth approach becomes important. Invisalign provides the system. Realtooth provides the diagnosis, treatment strategy, clinical supervision, and multidisciplinary planning around it.
What Problems Can Invisalign® Treat?
The Invisalign system is used across a range of orthodontic situations, from relatively simple tooth movement to complex malocclusions. In suitable cases determined by clinical evaluation, Invisalign may be considered for:
Not every case is appropriately treated with Invisalign alone.
Depending on diagnosis, some patients may benefit more from conventional braces, ceramic braces, other clear aligners, orthodontic-surgical treatment, or combination restorative care.
At Realtooth, the diagnosis chooses the appliance—not the other way around.Realtooth USP: Advanced iTero™ Digital Scanning
Realtooth incorporates advanced iTero™ intraoral scanning within its digital orthodontic ecosystem to create a precise 3D record of your teeth and power digital treatment planning—including Outcome Simulator visualisations of your potential future smile.
- Tooth position
- Crowding
- Spaces
- Arch form
- Bite relationship
- Tooth wear
- Restorations
- Available space
This advanced digital precision moves the conversation from vague guesswork to a clear, data-backed treatment strategy tailored to your smile.
At Realtooth, we shift the conversation from "I think my teeth are crooked" to a precise understanding of what is misaligned, what needs to move, and what the clear treatment objective is.
Previewing Your Potential Smile
One of the most engaging aspects of digital orthodontics is the ability to visualise a proposed change.
Invisalign's digital ecosystem includes Outcome Simulator technology that can generate simulations of a patient's potential future smile from iTero scan information.
These simulations are useful communication tools, although they represent a proposed or simulated outcome rather than a guarantee of the exact clinical result.
Our Approach at Realtooth
At Realtooth, we use digital visualisation to help patients understand the treatment—not simply to sell it.
We want you to understand:
A clearer picture of what your treatment involves.
- What is being corrected
- What may remain unchanged
- Whether bite correction is involved
- How much treatment may be required
- Whether additional cosmetic treatment may still be useful afterwards
The Realtooth Invisalign® Workflow
A step-by-step clinical journey designed for precision, predictability, and long-term smile health.
Understand Your Smile Concern
We begin by asking:
- What bothers you about your smile?
- Are you concerned about crooked teeth, gaps or protrusion?
- Have your teeth shifted after previous orthodontics?
- Do you want cosmetic improvement or bite correction?
- Is there an important event ahead?
Your treatment objective needs to be understood before digital planning begins.
Comprehensive Dental Assessment
Before moving teeth, we assess overall oral health, including:
- Teeth & existing cavities
- Fillings, crowns & root canal-treated teeth
- Gum health & bone support
- Tooth wear & missing teeth
- Existing implants
Active dental disease must be treated first. Straightening unhealthy teeth does not create a healthy smile.
Bite Assessment
Evaluating upper and lower teeth relationship, including:
- Overbite & Overjet
- Crossbite & Open bite
- Midline & Posterior bite
- Tooth contacts & functional relationships
Our objective isn't just straightening front teeth, but understanding how the entire dental system should finish.
iTero™ Digital Scan
A 3D digital scan records the teeth and bite. The official Invisalign workflow uses digital scanning to create a customized treatment plan and provide a preview of the proposed smile.
Photographs & Diagnostic Records
Depending on case complexity, additional records include:
- Facial & Intraoral photographs
- Dental X-rays & Orthodontic radiographs
- Previous treatment records
Helps evaluate details beyond what is visible in the digital scan alone.
Invisalign® Treatment Planning
The clinician evaluates key elements:
- Which teeth to move & direction/sequence of movement
- Space management & bite correction
- Attachment requirements & IPR where appropriate
- Final tooth positions
The software is the planning environment; the dentist's clinical decisions determine the plan.
Review Before Approval
We critically evaluate before ordering aligners:
- Does the bite make sense?
- Are movements clinically achievable?
- Is final tooth position healthy?
- Is enough space available & what happens to gum line?
- Does it coordinate with future crowns, veneers or implants?
Your Custom Invisalign® Aligners
Custom aligners are manufactured. At delivery, we provide instructions on:
- Wearing, removing, cleaning & eating
- Aligner changes, attachments & oral hygiene
Invisalign recommends wearing aligners 20–22 hours each day for effective progression.
Clinical Monitoring
Regular dentist reviews during treatment to assess:
- Aligner fit & tooth tracking
- Attachment integrity & bite development
- Oral hygiene, gum health & compliance
- Need for treatment modification
Digital orthodontics still requires a dentist.
Refinement When Required
Biology does not always move exactly according to computer simulations. Refinement aligners improve:
- Tooth position
- Bite
- Contacts
- Final alignment
Finishing the Smile
Evaluating alignment, bite, contacts, tooth proportions & aesthetics. Optional finishing treatments include:
- Professional whitening & minor cosmetic bonding
- Tooth reshaping & gum treatment
- Replacement of old restorations
Retention
Teeth can move again after treatment. Retention options advised by Realtooth include:
- Removable retainers & Fixed retainers
- Vivera™ retainers where appropriate
- Combination retention
Aligners create the new position. Retainers help protect it.
Invisalign® for Adults
Many adults want straighter teeth but do not want conventional visible braces. Invisalign aligners are clear and removable and are used for adult orthodontic treatment across a range of case complexities.
Adults commonly seek treatment for:
Multidisciplinary Advantage:
Realtooth's multidisciplinary environment is particularly valuable for adults because they may already have existing dental work. All of these need to be incorporated into the orthodontic plan:
Invisalign® for Teens
Suitability depends on:
Invisalign also provides treatment options for teenagers. Because the aligners are removable, they can be taken out for eating and many sporting situations, while the treatment remains digitally planned and clinician-supervised.
A major factor is compliance:
If a teenager is unlikely to wear aligners consistently, fixed braces may sometimes be the more predictable option.
Invisalign® for Younger Patients
The Invisalign system also includes treatment options designed for younger children and early orthodontic intervention.
Invisalign's official information describes options beginning from around age six in appropriate cases, including Phase I treatment concepts.
The Realtooth Approach to Early Evaluation:
At Realtooth, early orthodontic evaluation focuses on whether intervention is actually necessary rather than starting treatment solely because the technology is available.
Specialised Invisalign® Solutions
Tailored orthodontic strategies focused on preserving natural teeth and ensuring long-term stability.
Invisalign® After Previous Braces
Teeth can move after previous orthodontic treatment, particularly when retainers have not been used consistently. Invisalign may be considered for selected relapse cases involving:
- New crowding
- Reopened spaces
- Rotated teeth
- Shifted front teeth
Before retreatment, we ask:
"Why did the teeth move?" Retention planning is then directly incorporated into your new treatment plan to prevent future relapse.
Invisalign® Before Veneers
Patients sometimes request veneers because teeth appear crooked. However, placing veneers on misaligned teeth can require additional unnecessary tooth preparation.
Our Recommended Step-by-Step Approach:
The Realtooth Core Principle:
Move teeth when possible. Preserve enamel whenever appropriate. Restore only what actually needs restoration.
Invisalign® Before Dental Implants
Implants cannot subsequently be orthodontically moved like natural teeth once integrated. Therefore, if tooth positions or implant spaces need correction, orthodontics may need to happen first.
In multidisciplinary cases, the Realtooth
Orthodontic Team + Implant Team + Prosthetic Team
- Implant Space: Ensuring adequate room for placement.
- Root Position: Moving adjacent roots safely out of the way.
- Future Crown Dimensions: Designing ideal restorative proportions.
- Bite & Alignment: Optimizing overall functional occlusion.
- Final Tooth Arrangement: Harmonizing natural teeth with planned restorations.
This is one of the advantages of receiving Invisalign treatment within a comprehensive multispeciality dental organisation.
Invisalign® + Smile Design
Some patients want more than straight teeth.
For comprehensive cosmetic enhancements, Invisalign serves as a powerful foundational component of a broader Realtooth smile plan.
Addressing Comprehensive Smile Concerns
A complete smile transformation often goes beyond simple tooth alignment to evaluate:
The Combined Realtooth Workflow Example
Invisalign®
To create better, natural tooth positions.
Whitening
To brighten and enhance tooth colour.
Bonding / Veneers
To refine proportions and restore shape.
Gum Treatment
When required for overall health or symmetry.
Conservative & Natural Outcomes
By sequencing treatments this way, the final result is often far more conservative than attempting to correct every cosmetic issue using veneers or crowns alone.
Invisalign® for Bridal & Life-Moment Planning
Patients preparing for :
Depending on your specific event timeline, treatment may harmoniously combine:
When an important life event is on the horizon, patients often ask how quickly they can safely enhance their smile. With proper lead time, Invisalign becomes a central part of Realtooth's personalized enhancement program.
Why Available Timeline Matters:
often ask how quickly they can improve their smile. If enough time is available, Invisalign treatment may become part of Realtooth's broader Bridal & Life-Moment Smile Enhancement Programme.
Depending on the situation, treatment may combine:- Invisalign®
- Teeth whitening
- Professional cleaning
- Minor bonding
- Smile design
How Long Does Invisalign® Treatment Take?
Treatment timelines vary significantly from person to person. Rather than advertising a single duration for everyone, we determine individual timelines based on specific clinical factors.
Key Factors Influencing Treatment Duration:
Every smile moves at its own biological pace, governed by several clinical variables:
Official Invisalign® Benchmark
Invisalign's official consumer information notes that simpler cases may be completed in as little as approximately six months. However, complex orthodontic cases can take significantly longer, as determined by the treating doctor.
The Realtooth Principle:
We believe in clinical accuracy over marketing claims. We provide a realistic, individual treatment estimate after a thorough diagnosis rather than promising one blanket timeline for everyone.
Common Patient Questions
Clear, transparent answers to the most frequent questions about wearing and living with Invisalign® clear aligners.
Can I Eat Normally With Invisalign®?
Because Invisalign aligners are removable, they can be easily taken out during meals and snacks.
- Fewer Dietary Restrictions: Unlike fixed braces, you can enjoy normal foods without risking appliance damage.
- Simpler Oral Hygiene: Remove aligners to brush and floss normally without navigating wires.
Key Requirement:
Requires personal discipline to reinsert aligners immediately after eating to maintain the mandatory 20–22 hours of daily wear time.
Is Invisalign® Painful?
Orthodontic tooth movement inherently relies on controlled pressure.
- Temporary Pressure: Discomfort or tightness is common when starting a fresh aligner set, indicating active tooth movement.
- SmartTrack™ Material: Designed for optimized comfort compared to traditional metal wires and brackets.
Clinical Insight:
While comparative data highlights greater comfort over standard braces, individual pain tolerance and adaptation vary per person.
Is Invisalign® Completely Invisible?
The aligners are constructed from transparent medical-grade polymers, making them highly discreet.
- Discreet, Not Invisible: "Clear" does not mean entirely invisible under close inspection.
- SmartForce™ Attachments: Tooth-colored composite bumps may be needed on specific teeth for complex moves, visible up close.
The Major Advantage:
Provides an aesthetic, highly subtle alternative to traditional metal braces for professional and social settings.
Invisalign® vs Other Clear Aligners
Realtooth offers several clear aligner systems. Invisalign is one option within that wider orthodontic ecosystem. Its differentiating technology includes

A large global history of clear-aligner treatment
Global Smiles Treated
Align Technology reports over 23 million patients globally, backed by more than two decades of continuous clinical development.
The Realtooth Approach
Even a globally recognized aligner system requires an individually correct diagnosis. At Realtooth, we recommend Invisalign when it precisely aligns with your unique clinical needs, bite complexity, and personal expectations.
Invisalign® vs Traditional Braces
Both Invisalign® clear aligners and fixed braces are proven orthodontic solutions designed to move teeth into ideal alignment. Understanding their distinct strengths helps us select the ideal approach for your smile.
Invisalign® Aligners
Invisalign® is often the preferred choice for patients who prioritize aesthetics, lifestyle flexibility, and digital treatment mapping:
-
Clear & Discreet Appearance Virtually unnoticeable during daily social and professional interactions.
-
Removable Convenience Easily remove aligners during meals, special events, and photos.
-
Easier Hygiene & Fewer Food Restrictions Brush and floss normally with no wires in the way; eat your favorite foods freely.
-
Digital 3D Planning Visualize expected tooth movement and final results prior to starting treatment.
Fixed Braces
Fixed appliances remain highly effective and may be recommended in specific orthodontic scenarios:
-
Complex Fixed Mechanics Ideal when severe rotations, vertical shifts, or complex bite issues favor fixed appliance dynamics.
-
Compliance Independent Works 24/7 without relying on the patient’s discipline to wear aligners 22 hours daily.
-
Orthodontist-Directed Movement Preferred when the treating specialist deems fixed bracket torque control more suitable for specific tooth movements.
