Invisalign Clear Aligners

Ambicare Clinic's certified orthodontists provide Invisalign clear aligner treatment using 3D digital scanning technology to produce a series of custom, transparent removable aligners that gradually reposition teeth over 9 to 18 months. Aligners are worn at least 22 hours per day and self-replaced every two weeks, with professional check-ups every 8 to 12 weeks. The treatment is virtually invisible and suitable for most adult orthodontic cases excluding severe malocclusions.

Invisalign at Ambicare Clinic is delivered by certified orthodontists following the seven-step Invisalign protocol, from initial digital scan through to final retention phase. **Step 1 — Digital scan and 3D planning:** The orthodontist takes a full digital scan of your teeth (no traditional impressions required). The Invisalign ClinCheck software generates a 3D simulation of the planned tooth movements from start to finish, allowing you to preview the expected outcome before treatment begins. **Step 2 — Personalised treatment plan:** The orthodontist designs a precise tooth-movement sequence tailored to your specific case — bite correction, spacing, crowding, or rotation. Each individual aligner in the series is manufactured to move teeth a fraction of a millimetre per stage. **Step 3 — Custom aligner manufacturing:** Your full set of aligners is manufactured via 3D printing technology from medical-grade, BPA-free transparent thermoplastic. Each aligner is precision-trimmed to fit your exact dental arch. A typical treatment course involves 20 to 50 aligner stages. **Step 4 — Daily wear:** Aligners must be worn for a minimum of 22 hours per day to maintain the planned tooth movement pace. They are removed only for eating, drinking (anything other than water), and oral hygiene. The removable design makes eating unrestricted and brushing and flossing significantly easier than with fixed braces. **Step 5 — Self-replacement every two weeks:** Each set of aligners is worn for two weeks, then replaced with the next set in the series. Replacement is performed at home — no clinic visit required at each stage change. **Step 6 — Professional check-ups every 8–12 weeks:** Regular check-ups at Ambicare allow the orthodontist to monitor tooth movement, verify the treatment is progressing as planned, and deliver the next batch of aligner trays. **Step 7 — Retention:** After the final aligner, a retention phase is essential to maintain tooth positions. Options include removable retainers (worn nightly) or a fixed wire retainer bonded invisibly behind the teeth. **Treatment duration:** 9 to 18 months for most cases. Mild spacing or crowding cases may complete in as little as 6 to 9 months; complex bite corrections may require 18 to 24 months. The orthodontist provides a case-specific estimate at the consultation. **Advantages over fixed braces:** Virtually invisible — most people will not notice you are in treatment. Removable — no dietary restrictions, no risk of bracket-related mouth sores, and full access for brushing and flossing. Comfortable — smooth plastic edges with no metal wires or brackets. Predictable — 3D simulation shows the planned result before you start. **Insurance:** Czech health insurance covers orthodontic treatment only for patients under 22 years old (since January 2022). Adult Invisalign treatment is self-pay.
