Invisalign
Straighten your teeth comfortably and discreetly
Tanglin Dental has been awarded Invisalign Diamond status since 2016 to present.
Invisalign is an advanced clear aligner system designed to straighten teeth for patients of all ages. It can treat a wide range of cases - from simple alignment issues to more complex conditions that may involve extractions.
As a removable and discreet alternative to braces, Invisalign aligners are made from a smooth plastic that gently guides your teeth into place, often in as little as six months.
At Tanglin Dental, we personalise every treatment plan and advocate a non-extraction approach, where possible.

FAQs
All you need to know about Invisalign
-
Invisalign is a removable, clear plastic alternative to metal braces for kids, teens, and adults.
These custom 3D-printed aligners gently move your teeth into position, one tray at a time. -
Your Invisalign journey starts with a consultation with an Invisalign-certified dentist.
We take diagnostic records to ensure your teeth are healthy and ready for treatment. Using a 3D scan, we design a personalised treatment plan and show you a step-by-step preview of how your smile will change.
Once approved, your custom aligners are manufactured. Each set is worn for 20–22 hours a day and changed every 7–14 days as advised by your dentist. Over time, your teeth will gently shift into place, revealing your new smile. -
After Invisalign, wearing retainers is the key to keeping your new smile in place. Teeth naturally want to shift back over time, and retainers help prevent that.
They come in different types — clear removable ones, removable ones with a metal wire, or fixed retainers that stay behind your teeth to keep them aligned around the clock.
Our dentists can recommend the best option for you based on your smile and lifestyle. -
Some mild cases can see results in as little as 3 to 6 months, while more complex treatments may take 12 to 18 months.
Your dentist will assess your teeth and give you a clearer timeline based on your specific needs. -
Yes! To maintain straight teeth, retainers are worn nightly.
-
Both metal braces and Invisalign are effective ways to straighten teeth — the right choice depends on your needs. Metal braces work 24/7 since they’re fixed to your teeth, while Invisalign requires full-time wear and commitment for the best results. When deciding, consider your treatment goals, lifestyle, eating habits, and budget.
Our experienced dentists will guide you during your consultation to choose the option that’s ideal for you.
3D Digital Scanning
For diagnosis and consultations, we use the iTero Scanner, an advanced digital scanner. It allows our dentists to digitally scan your teeth with a high degree of accuracy.
The procedure is quick and painless. We use these scans to help design your new smile.
