Book a ConsultationInvisalign is a system of custom-made, removable clear aligners — also called clear aligners, invisible braces, or transparent braces — that gradually straighten teeth without metal brackets or wires. At Meiplus Dentalcare, Invisalign for kids starts from $5,000 and Invisalign for adults starts from $6,000, with treatment length depending on case complexity.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a brand of clear aligner — a series of custom-made, removable plastic trays that gradually shift teeth into their correct position, worn in sequence over the course of treatment.
Because the aligners are transparent and close-fitting, they’re often described using several different terms that all refer to the same treatment.
Same Treatment, Different Names
Patients search for this treatment under several different terms. They all describe clear aligners like Invisalign.
Clear aligners
The general category of removable, transparent orthodontic trays. Invisalign is the most established and widely used brand.
Invisible braces
An everyday term for clear aligners, referring to how discreet they are compared with traditional metal braces.
Transparent braces
Another term patients commonly search for, meaning the same thing as clear aligners or invisible braces.
Invisalign Products for Children
Meiplus Dentalcare is a certified Invisalign provider in Singapore, offering Invisalign treatment for both adults and children at our Tanjong Pagar and Marine Parade clinics.
Invisalign for Adults
Many adults in Singapore choose Invisalign over traditional braces because it’s removable and far less noticeable — a common reason adults who didn’t have braces as children, or whose teeth have shifted since, decide to pursue treatment later in life.
It’s also a popular option for adults straightening their teeth before or alongside other cosmetic work, such as veneers or teeth whitening.
Invisalign is best suited to mild-to-moderate misalignment. For more complex bite corrections, your dentist may recommend traditional braces instead, or a combination approach.
Invisalign for Kids
Invisalign offers dedicated treatments designed for growing children — used for early “Phase 1” intervention, rather than waiting until all adult teeth have come in.
Invisalign First
Addresses a broad range of teeth-straightening issues in growing children while their jaws are still developing.
- Treats crowding, spacing and narrow dental arches
- Removable, so brushing and flossing stay easy
- No brackets or wires to cause irritation
Invisalign Palatal Expander
A series of 3D-printed, removable expanders that gradually widen the upper jaw to create space for incoming adult teeth.
- Can be used alone or combined with Invisalign First
- Removable, unlike traditional fixed expanders
- No food restrictions and easier cleaning
Many dental associations recommend a child’s first orthodontic check-up by around age 7, so dentists can identify and plan for developing issues while the jaw is still flexible and easier to guide. Ask us at your consultation whether Invisalign First or the Palatal Expander is suitable for your child, or whether traditional braces may be more appropriate.
Invisalign vs BracesKey Differences
Both are clinically effective ways to straighten teeth. The differences that matter most in practice are visibility, whether the appliance comes out, and how complex a case each can handle.
Braces tend to be the more predictable option for complex bite corrections, while Invisalign offers a discreet, removable alternative for mild-to-moderate misalignment.

FAQs on Invisalign
What is Invisalign and how does it work?
Invisalign is a system of custom-made, removable clear aligners that gradually shift teeth into position. Each aligner is worn for one to two weeks before being replaced with the next in a series planned around a 3D digital scan of your teeth. Unlike braces, aligners are removed for eating, drinking, and brushing.
Are clear aligners, invisible braces, and transparent braces the same as Invisalign?
Yes — “clear aligners,” “invisible braces,” and “transparent braces” are all common terms patients use to describe the same type of treatment that Invisalign provides: removable, transparent orthodontic trays used instead of fixed metal brackets and wires. Invisalign is the most established brand of clear aligner.
Is Invisalign suitable for adults?
Yes. Invisalign is a popular choice for adults in Singapore because it’s removable and far less visible than traditional braces. It’s well suited to mild-to-moderate misalignment; more complex cases may still require traditional braces. At Meiplus Dentalcare, Invisalign for adults starts from $6,000.
Can kids get Invisalign? What is Invisalign First?
Yes. Invisalign First is designed for children aged 6 to 10 for early (“Phase 1”) orthodontic treatment, addressing issues like crowding, spacing, and narrow dental arches while the jaw is still developing. It’s removable and has no brackets or wires. At Meiplus Dentalcare, Invisalign for kids starts from $5,000.
What is the Invisalign Palatal Expander?
The Invisalign Palatal Expander System is a removable, 3D-printed device for children aged 6 to 11 that gradually widens the upper jaw to make room for incoming adult teeth. It can be used alone or combined with Invisalign First, and unlike traditional fixed expanders, it can be removed for eating and cleaning.
How much does Invisalign cost in Singapore?
At Meiplus Dentalcare, Invisalign for kids starts from $5,000 and Invisalign for adults starts from $6,000. Final pricing depends on case complexity and is confirmed at your consultation. Prices stated are estimates and subject to prevailing GST.
Is Invisalign better than braces?
Neither is universally better — both are clinically effective at straightening teeth. Invisalign is removable, less visible, and generally suited to mild-to-moderate cases, while braces are fixed and tend to handle more complex corrections. See our Braces in Singapore page for a full comparison.
Can I use MediSave or CHAS for Invisalign?
Invisalign is generally considered an elective treatment and is not typically claimable under MediSave or CHAS, which are reserved for medically necessary dental procedures. Check directly with MOH or your dentist for guidance specific to your case.
