At Aloha Dental, we specialize in Invisalign Orthodontic treatment. Invisalign treatment involves using a series of clear plastic aligners to move teeth, They are transparent (making them virtually invisible) and removable and are worn by patients at all times except when eating, drinking and brushing teeth.
More than 7 million patients in the world have been successfully treated with Invisalign.
Your Invisalign treatment will be done by Dr. Loh Kai Woh, a specialist in Orthodontics with over 30 years of experience in Orthodontics.
What to expect on your Invisalign journey
FIRST VISIT AND ASSESSMENT AT ALOHA DENTAL

You will be introduced to Dr. Loh Kai Woh, who will perform a comprehensive dental assessment to get an idea of the state of your teeth.
Dr. Loh has over 30 years of clinical experience with Orthodontics. He treats both simple and complex cases with Invisalign, as well as non-extraction and extraction cases.
3D DIGITAL SCAN
We will create a 3D image of your teeth using a digital scanner. This replaces traditional impressions that is more comfortable for the patients.
It delivers a 3D digital dental impression to capture the contours of your teeth and gum structures, producing an accurate scan of your teeth within minutes. This scan is also able to project what your future set of teeth may look like after Invisalign treatment.
Why do we request for X-rays for Invisalign treatment?
Sometimes patients are baffled when they learn their orthodontist also wants to take an X-ray for Invisalign treatment. Why is this so?
X-rays help orthodontists to come up with a treatment plan because it will show the individual location of each tooth, the roots of the teeth. For example, unusually long or short tooth root will affect how much the tooth can be shifted during treatment.
X-ray is also a very important diagnostic tool that helps the orthodontist to detect any problem that they can’t see with the naked eye, such as tooth decay, or issues with your tooth and gums. It is important to fix these underlying dental issues before you start your Invisalign treatment.
Who is suitable for Invisalign?
Both teens and adults are suitable for Invisalign treatment. Invisalign can treat most common orthodontic problems. However your suitability for Invisalign treatment can only be assessed after consultation.
Invisalign is easy to maintain. The clear aligners can be simply removed to allow for easy brushing and daily flossing. Cleaning of the aligners can also be done easily, ensuring that good oral health is upheld.
Transparent and almost invisible to the naked eye
As Invisalign aligners are transparent, they are discreet and you can wear them throughout the day without getting noticed.
Few food restrictions
As Invisalign aligners are to be removed when you have your meals, this allows for fewer food restrictions. You can have your favourite food without worry of damaging your aligners or having food stuck in them.
How to use Invisalign?
We recommend wearing Invisalign throughout the day except during meals and when brushing your teeth
Rinse/soak your aligners on a daily basis to keep them free of bacteria
Remove your aligners when eating or drinking (except for water)
Are Invisalign results for life?
Shifting of teeth takes place throughout the course of your life. As such, we recommend that retainers be worn post-treatment to ensure that your teeth remain in position for as long as possible.
