Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move teeth. Whether clear aligners suit you depends on an individual assessment of your teeth and bite. Contact our clinic in Al Rigga, Deira, Dubai by WhatsApp or phone to discuss your options.
Invisalign is a system of clear, removable plastic aligners. Each aligner is custom-made to fit your teeth and applies gentle, controlled pressure so tooth position changes gradually.
Instead of brackets and wires, you move through a planned sequence of aligners, with each one making a small change from the last.
Clear aligners may be considered for situations such as:
Not every case can be treated with clear aligners. Some situations may be better suited to braces or another approach.

Discuss Your Orthodontic Treatment
The process
The dentist examines your teeth, bite and gums and discusses your goals.
If aligners are appropriate, a plan is prepared for how your teeth should move.
A series of aligners is made to fit your teeth for each stage of the plan.
Aligners are worn for the daily time your dentist advises, removed only as instructed.
Your dental team checks that teeth are moving as planned and adjusts if needed.
You move on to the next aligner in the series as directed by your dentist.
After active treatment, a retainer is usually recommended to help hold the result.
The number of aligners and review visits depends on your treatment plan. Learn more about teeth retainers in Dubai.
Comparison
Invisalign
Clear plastic aligners that are less noticeable when worn.
Traditional braces
Brackets and wires fixed to the teeth; ceramic options are less prominent than metal.
Invisalign
Removable — but they only work when worn for the advised time.
Traditional braces
Fixed in place, so wear doesn't depend on remembering to put them in.
Invisalign
Aligners come out, so brushing and flossing are done as normal; the aligners also need cleaning.
Traditional braces
Cleaning around brackets and wires needs extra care and time.
Invisalign
Aligners are usually removed to eat, then teeth are cleaned before putting them back.
Traditional braces
Some hard or sticky foods may need to be avoided to protect the brackets.
Invisalign

Traditional braces
Can be used for a wide range of cases, including some more complex movements.
