Invisalign aligners in Chișinău:
an innovative method for bite correction
What are Invisalign aligners and how do they work
Invisalign aligners are a modern alternative to classic bracket systems. They consist of a set of transparent caps made from a medical biopolymer, custom-manufactured for each patient. Each aligner is worn for approximately two weeks and gradually shifts the teeth into the planned position. After this period, the patient switches to the next aligner, and thus step by step the dental arch is aligned.
The main feature of Invisalign is their invisibility. The caps are completely transparent, so those around the patient will hardly notice that orthodontic treatment is underway. Moreover, they can be easily removed when eating, brushing teeth or using dental floss, which makes the process as comfortable and natural as possible in everyday life.
Modern technologies: ClinCheck® and 3D planning
Align Technology has developed the unique program **ClinCheck®**, which allows modelling of tooth movement at each stage of treatment. The patient can preview the virtual correction plan and the final result even before beginning treatment. This approach enhances predictability and provides assurance that the smile will transform exactly as planned.
The aligners are manufactured using high-precision digital CAD/CAM technologies and three-dimensional scanning. Unlike traditional impressions, a digital scan is more accurate and eliminates errors. This ensures perfect fit of the aligners to the teeth and the effectiveness of each correction stage.
Statistics and scientific data
According to reports by the [European Orthodontic Society (EOS, 2022)], transparent aligners are used in more than 20 % of orthodontic cases among adult patients in Europe, and this share continues to grow. In the CIS countries, the figures are still lower, but according to the [Russian Orthodontic Association (2021)], around 12 % of orthodontic patients already prefer Invisalign instead of brackets, especially in major cities.
Scientific publications confirm the high effectiveness of the method. In a study published in the [American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics (2018), more than 80 % of adult patients treated with aligners reported improvement in quality of life and psycho-emotional status. According to a review published in the [European Journal of Orthodontics (2025), patients report high satisfaction with transparent caps, lower levels of discomfort and better adaptation compared to traditional brackets.
Advantages of Invisalign compared to classic brackets
The key advantage of Invisalign lies in their aesthetics. Transparent aligners are almost invisible when conversing or being photographed, which is especially important for adult patients and those in public-facing professions. In addition, treatment is carried out without metal arches and brackets, which eliminates mucosal irritation and increased risk of inflammation.
The aligners allow the patient to maintain their usual lifestyle: they can be removed for eating or dental hygiene. This addresses the food-related restrictions often experienced by patients with brackets. Patients do not feel psychological discomfort as they can straighten their teeth “without being seen”.
Another advantage is predictability. Thanks to the ClinCheck® system and digital control, every stage of treatment is documented and the doctor and patient see how the teeth move according to plan.
Limitations and contraindications of the method
Despite the clear advantages, Invisalign has limitations. It is not suitable for severe bite anomalies when surgical orthodontics or complex mechanical tooth movements are required. Additionally, treatment is effective only if worn consistently — at least 20-22 hours per day. If the patient removes aligners too often, the result may be delayed.
Also, the cost of Invisalign treatment is higher than that of traditional brackets, which is explained by patented technology and individual manufacturing. However, for many patients comfort and aesthetics outweigh these disadvantages.
Patient reviews about Invisalign
Real patient stories confirm the effectiveness and convenience of the method.
Mikaela says: “One of my teeth really protruded, and I was very nervous about that. I chose Invisalign because I understood the treatment process. Nobody noticed I was wearing aligners, and I liked that I could remove them to eat. My friends were amazed how much my smile changed.”
Vincent shares his experience: “My teeth were crossing, and I was very unhappy about it. But I couldn’t imagine myself with brackets. The orthodontist recommended Invisalign. I was surprised how transparent and easy to use the aligners are. For me this turned out to be the ideal option.”
Invisalign and oral health
Unlike brackets, Invisalign caps do not create difficulties in dental hygiene. The patient can brush their teeth properly and use dental floss, which reduces the risk of caries and gum diseases during treatment. Furthermore, the absence of metal components eliminates allergic reactions and unpleasant sensations on contact with metal.
Some studies even indicate benefits for patients with sensitive teeth. Due to uniform pressure distribution, the aligners exert gentle impact on the teeth, reducing the probability of pain in the early stages of treatment.
