About This Treatment

China is one of Invisalign's largest global markets, with thousands of certified providers and competitive pricing. Orthodontic treatment in China costs 40-60% less than in the US while using the same Invisalign aligners manufactured to identical specifications. Major cities have orthodontists who have treated thousands of cases, and remote monitoring technology allows patients to continue treatment at home after initial fitting.

Procedure Steps
1

Orthodontic Assessment & 3D Scanning

Comprehensive examination including digital 3D scanning, X-rays, and photographs. The orthodontist creates a ClinCheck treatment plan showing the predicted movement of each tooth from start to finish.

Duration: 1-2 hours
2

Aligner Fitting & Attachments

Custom aligners are fabricated and the first set is fitted. Small tooth-colored attachments may be bonded to specific teeth to facilitate complex movements. You receive multiple sets of aligners to change every 1-2 weeks.

Duration: 1-2 hours
3

Remote Monitoring & Progress Checks

Treatment progress is monitored remotely using smartphone photos or dental monitoring apps. Periodic in-person or virtual check-ups ensure teeth are tracking correctly. Adjustments can be made to the treatment plan as needed.

Duration: 15-30 minutes per check-up
Benefits
  • 40-60% cost savings on Invisalign treatment versus the US

Considerations
  • Requires discipline to wear aligners 20-22 hours daily for optimal results

  • Treatment duration may extend if teeth don't track as predicted
  • Not suitable for severe malocclusion — traditional braces may be recommended
