Invisalign: 19 Years & Counting of Orthodontic Excellence

Share this news:

An official Invisalign-trained clinic, Big Smile Dental offers Invisalign orthodontic treatment in Singapore, alongside traditional ceramic and clear braces.

-- Big Smile Dental is excited to announce Invisalign’s 19 years of orthodontic excellence.

Since its introduction in 1999, Invisalign has helped more than 2 million people globally. A relative newcomer to the world of corrective dental aids, Invisalign has quickly become the preferred method of many patients and orthodontists in Singapore to correct dental imperfections.

Invisalign is one of the many orthodontic treatment methods offered at Big Smile Dental. Apart from Invisalign, Big Smile Dental offers a variety of more traditional and popular forms of orthodontic treatment, with clear and ceramic braces being a favourite for many.

Invisalign and dental braces align and correct the position of the wearer’s teeth. They are used to correct under and over bites, crooked teeth and deep bites.

An Invisible Treatment Method

Invisalign, since 1999, has retained the same core concept: to provide proper alignment for your teeth while remaining mostly invisible. This was a significant advancement in orthodontic treatment in 1999. Since then, Invisalign has maintained its position as a global leader in orthodontic treatment.

Traditional braces offers good results and functionality. However, it left much to be desired in terms of aesthetic quality. Traditional metal braces were very noticeable and could dent one’s self esteem. Many shied away from traditional metal braces because of this.

Invisalign broke this stereotype when it was introduced. Instead of glaring metal brackets and wires, Invisalign uses clear aligners to move one’s teeth, to move them into the proper position or to ensure they have proper alignment. The clear aligners are difficult to spot, even from up close.

The process of Invisalign treatment is also different from traditional braces treatment. Instead of being affixed with the same pair of braces throughout the treatment period, an Invisalign user receives new clear aligners periodically, almost like instalments, to match their teeth’s progressive improvement and treatment.

Users keep the aligners on throughout the day, and only remove them when eating or cleaning their teeth.

In Singapore, Invisalign braces cost more than traditional metal braces. In spite of this, it’s easy to see why Invisalign is such a popular choice for many users and good orthodontists in Singapore.

Dental Braces: Keeping Up With The Times

Dental braces have not remained the same since they were first introduced. They have changed to become less garish, and traditional metal braces are no longer the only dental braces. Modern braces, such as ceramic or clear braces, are far less noticeable and visible than older versions.

Ceramic and clear braces function in exactly the same way as traditional metal braces. However, ceramic and clear braces utilise transparent materials or in a colour very similar to the user’s teeth. Individual brackets and archwires are much less noticeable than those on traditional braces. In exchange, the cost of clear braces in Singapore is lower than Invisalign treatment.

Big Smile Dental offers both clear and ceramic braces in Singapore, giving patients plenty of treatment choices.
