Invisalign Singapore
Data collected · How listings are sourced
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that moves teeth with a series of removable trays. It suits mild to moderate crowding, spacing and bite problems, and its results depend on wear time of roughly twenty hours a day. It is not covered by MediSave, and no published price benchmark exists in Singapore.
All figures on this page trace to MOH's published fee benchmarks and the CHAS subsidy schedule. Find clinics offering this treatment, cross-checked against the Singapore Dental Council register, on the region and planning-area pages linked from the homepage.

What the Invisalign guides cover
Invisalign vs Metal Braces Singapore: Treatment Duration, Efficacy & Cost
Invisalign clear aligners and metal braces both correct malpositioned teeth, but they work through different mechanics: aligners are a series of removable, custom-made trays, while braces apply continuous mechanical force through fixed brackets and wires. Which is more suitable for a particular malocclusion depends on its severity, not a single universal answer.

SmartForce Attachments: What Are Dental Buttons on Invisalign?
SmartForce attachments are small, tooth-coloured orthodontic appliances made of dental composite that a dentist bonds onto specific teeth during Invisalign treatment. They give a clear aligner tray extra surface area to grip, directing forces the plastic alone cannot generate — such as rotation and extrusion — toward teeth that need more complex movement.

Invisalign 22-Hour Wear Protocol: What Happens If You Wear Less?
Align Technology's published guidance for Invisalign treatment is to wear each aligner 20 to 22 hours a day, removing it only to eat, drink anything other than water, and clean the teeth. Wearing aligners for fewer hours (poor orthodontic compliance) slows and can derail planned tooth movement, because the periodontal ligament needs sustained, continuous force to remodel.

Frequently asked questions
- Does MediSave cover Invisalign in Singapore?
- No. Invisalign is not covered by MediSave, and no published MOH price benchmark exists for it in Singapore.
- How many hours a day do Invisalign aligners need to be worn?
- Results depend on wear time of roughly twenty hours a day.
- Can clear aligners treat every type of malocclusion that metal braces can?
- No. Clear aligners are not designed to treat every severity of malocclusion; surveyed orthodontists report reduced confidence using aligners for severe crowding, bilateral or skeletal crossbites, and premolar-extraction cases, where fixed braces retain more direct three-dimensional control over tooth movement.
- Do metal braces always damage tooth enamel?
- No. Fixed braces carry a documented, hygiene-dependent risk of white spot lesions around the brackets, but this is largely preventable with consistent brushing, interdental cleaning and fluoride use — it is not an inevitable outcome of wearing braces.
- Is Invisalign always faster than metal braces?
- Not necessarily. Reported average treatment-time ranges overlap for many case types, and which appliance finishes sooner depends on the specific malocclusion, the clinician's treatment plan, and how consistently aligners are worn each day.
- Can I use MediSave or CHAS to pay for braces or Invisalign in Singapore?
- No. CPF Board states that orthodontic braces are not covered by MediSave, and orthodontic treatment does not appear among the CHAS-subsidised dental procedures.
- Is there an official MOH price list for Invisalign or braces at private clinics?
- MOH does not publish a fee benchmark for orthodontic treatment at private clinics; it only publishes what several public hospitals charged for two-jaw, non-surgical orthodontic treatment as of its most recent guide update (28 Nov 2025). Private clinic pricing is set independently and published by each clinic.
- What material are SmartForce attachments made from?
- Dental composite — the same tooth-coloured resin material used for dental fillings — bonded directly onto the enamel surface of the tooth.
- How do I find a dentist in Singapore who mentions Invisalign?
- 343 of the 719 clinics listed on dentistsg.com mention Invisalign on their own website, most of them in Orchard, Downtown Core, Bedok. Pick a suburb below to see them with ratings, hours and contact details. A mention is the clinic's own statement, not a verified treatment menu.
- Does dentistsg.com list prices for Invisalign?
- No. Cost ranges on this page come from MOH's published fee benchmarks and the CHAS subsidy schedule. dentistsg.com does not publish individual clinics' prices or compare clinics on price; ask the clinic for a written quote.
