Treatment

I’m a general practitioner and don’t typically go beyond simple orthodontics in my day-to-day work. Is Invisalign treatment right for my practice?

Beyond the fact that incorporating simple tooth movement as part of restorative treatment can make the entire process more efficient and predictable, Invisalign treatment continues to grow in demand.

I’m an orthodontist who has been using traditional wire and bracket treatment for years. Is Invisalign treatment right for my practice?

Invisalign treatment offers your patients more comfort. And it offers you more predictable treatment outcomes. Not to mention by treating just a small percentage of suitable candidates with Invisalign clear aligners—just two cases a week—you could expand your practice by approximately $500,000 every year.4

Sometimes I need to make updates to my treatment prescriptions. Can the Invisalign system accommodate treatment updates?

Our proprietary ClinCheck  software was designed to help you map out your patients’ smiles down to the tiniest shift with no guesswork and no waiting. However, if needed, you may adjust a treatment plan and submit ClinCheck  modifications to better achieve your treatment goals. And in urgent situations, Customer Support is always available at +65 800-852-8576 (toll free).

Pricing

I don’t see pricing anywhere on the site. Why is that?

Invisalign treatment plans are priced based on your practice’s specific needs and there may be specific promotions available in your area. Would you like a quote?

Warranty

What should I do if I believe a Vivera retainer is defective and should be replaced under warranty?

As described in the Pricing Terms and Conditions, Invisalign  aligners and retainers and Vivera retainers, including replacements, are warranted to conform to their description, to be free from defects in material and workmanship, and to be of satisfactory quality within the industry. Information is included about the types of circumstances that may allow for free warranty replacements and the time periods for making warranty claims.

If you believe the product should be replaced under warranty, these replacements can be ordered online from the patient’s file:
Aligners: Under the Patient’s file, go to Supplemental order options > Warranty > Aligner has a quality issue.
Retainers: Under the Patient’s file, go toSupplemental order options > ViveraorInvisalign Retainers > Warranty Defect.

Alternatively, you may contact Customer Care at +65 800-852-8576 (toll free) or cs-sg@aligntech.com
In the interim, the doctor may choose to ask the patient to wear the previous set of aligners to maintain teeth position.
