Invisalign

There is what to expect on your Invisalign journey!  

First visit and assessment at Aloha Dental

During your first visit at Aloha Dental, you can expect a member of our team to welcome you with a warm greeting and then request for you to fill out a new patient form. 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 three decades of clinical experience with orthodontics. He treats both simple and complex cases for Invisalign, as well as non-extraction and extraction cases.

Digital Scan by iTero Element 2

Dr. Loh Kai Woh will create a 3D image of your teeth using an iTero scanner, a digital scanner from the makers of Invisalign clear aligners. The iTero scanner is all about patient comfort and replaces traditional dental impressions that are messy and uncomfortable.

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, and what your future set of teeth may look like after Invisalign treatment.

Customized Invisalign treatment plan

Once you have decided to start on Invisalign treatment, we will ensure that you have the iTero digital scan of your teeth, x-rays and photos taken so that the orthodontist can come up with a customized treatment plan to align your teeth with Invisalign. Dr. Loh takes a lot of pride in coming up with a comprehensive treatment plan and will ensure you understand fully how your treatment will be managed throughout the Invisalign process.

Fitting Invisalign aligners

Using modern 3D computer imaging and printing technology, a custom set of Invisalign clear aligners will be made for you. Each aligner is custom made specifically for your teeth, and will gradually and gently shift your teeth into the desired place. There are no metal brackets or wires to tighten. The best part is that most people won’t even notice you’re wearing Invisalign clear aligners.
