Invisalign Clear Aligners — East Coast Singapore's Accredited Provider
Discreet teeth straightening for teens and adults, right here in Siglap
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is the world’s leading clear aligner system, used by millions of patients globally to straighten teeth discreetly and comfortably. Using a series of custom-made, removable transparent aligners, Invisalign gradually moves your teeth into their ideal positions — without the need for metal brackets or fixed wires.
At Burlinson Dental Surgery, our principal dentist Dr Graeme Burlinson is an accredited Invisalign provider with extensive orthodontic experience. We offer Invisalign treatment to patients of all ages from our Siglap clinic, and regularly treat patients travelling from Bayshore, Marine Parade, Bedok, Kembangan and across the East Coast.
Each set of aligners is custom-designed using digital impressions of your teeth. You wear each set for approximately one to two weeks before progressing to the next, with your teeth moving gradually and precisely towards the planned result. Because the aligners are removable, you can eat, drink and clean your teeth as normal throughout your treatment.
Why Choose Invisalign Over Traditional Braces?
Invisalign is designed around the way you live. Unlike fixed metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, fully removable, and require fewer visits to the clinic. Here is why so many patients across East Coast Singapore choose Invisalign at Burlinson Dental Surgery:
Clinically Proven to Be as Effective as Traditional Braces
Invisalign is clinically proven to deliver results equivalent to fixed metal braces for most orthodontic cases, including crowded teeth, spacing, overbites, underbites and crossbites. During your consultation, Dr Burlinson will assess whether Invisalign is the optimal solution for your specific bite and alignment concerns, or whether traditional braces would better suit your clinical needs.
No Food Restrictions — Eat What You Like
One of the most appreciated benefits of Invisalign is the freedom to eat without restriction. Simply remove your aligners before meals, enjoy your food, brush your teeth, and reinsert them. There are no brackets to break and no wires to worry about — a significant advantage over fixed braces for patients who lead active social lives.
Better Oral Hygiene Throughout Treatment
Fixed braces can make brushing and flossing difficult, allowing plaque to accumulate around brackets and wires — sometimes leading to white spot lesions or discolouration when the braces are removed. Because Invisalign aligners are fully removable, you can maintain your normal brushing and flossing routine throughout treatment, protecting the long-term health of your teeth and gums.
See Results in as Little as 12 to 18 Months
Most Invisalign cases at our East Coast clinic are completed within 12 to 18 months. Many patients notice visible improvement within the first few months of treatment. Beyond the physical result, a straighter smile consistently has a meaningful impact on confidence — in professional settings, social situations and daily life.
How the Invisalign Process Works at Burlinson Dental Surgery
Your Invisalign journey at Burlinson Dental Surgery begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr Graeme Burlinson. Using digital scanning technology, we take precise impressions of your teeth without the need for traditional moulds. These scans are used to create a fully customised treatment plan, showing you the projected movement of your teeth at each stage.
Your aligners are fabricated from Align Technology’s proprietary SmartTrack® material — crystal clear, smooth-edged and precisely fitted to your teeth. You will receive several sets of aligners at once, each worn for approximately one to two weeks before progressing to the next.
Progress reviews are typically scheduled every six to eight weeks, making Invisalign a significantly less time-consuming commitment than traditional braces, which require more frequent tightening appointments. Most cases are completed within 12 to 18 months, followed by a retainer phase to maintain your result.
Invisalign Cost at Our East Coast Clinic
At Burlinson Dental Surgery, Invisalign treatment is priced according to the complexity of your case and the Invisalign product tier recommended by Dr Burlinson. Treatment typically ranges from $5,000 to $9,000.
This investment covers your custom-fabricated aligner trays, all in-clinic progress reviews throughout your treatment, and any mid-course refinements needed to keep your teeth tracking correctly. Items such as pre-treatment X-rays, retainers and any necessary extractions will be clearly itemised and discussed during your initial consultation — we provide transparent, itemised fees.
We recommend booking a consultation to receive an accurate, personalised quote. Dr Burlinson will assess your teeth, explain which Invisalign package is appropriate for your case, and walk you through a full treatment plan before you make any commitment.
Burlinson Dental Surgery serves as the local Invisalign clinic for patients across East Coast Singapore, including those from Bayshore, Bedok, Marine Parade, Katong and Kembangan. Our Siglap location offers convenient parking and easy access by bus (routes 10, 12, 14, 40 and 155) and by MRT (Kembangan, 5 minutes by bus).

Benefits of Invisalign treatment
Easier to keep clean
Traditional braces are known to be a challenge to keep clean. Maintaining your teeth and braces in a clean state can be a headache, whether you're eating out at a restaurant or with your family at home.
The aligner trays are quite simple to remove while undertaking the Invisalign process. Reinstall them in your mouth after gently brushing them with toothpaste and warm water.
Less doctor visits
Metal braces require more frequent dentist visits. Whilst upper and lower teeth are moving and aligning, Invisalign provides the freedom to engage in all activities.
When commencing the Invisalign program, trays are provided for the current and subsequent phases. This allows the patient to undergo the next step without making a second surgery appointment.
More comfort and easier brushing
If this is the first time wearing braces, from common knowledge, the patient will be aware of the pain they can cause. Traditional braces shift teeth by tensioning the brackets and wires.
A discomfort cycle is created as the frames are tightened, causes pain until the tension and pressure from teeth is released.
The Invisalign treatments, allow the aligner trays to be removed when the patient is eating, and allows for thorough teeth cleaning and flossing. The feeling of discomfort from the scraping of braces against your tongue, face, or gums is reduced by using Invisalign.
Prevents future issues
Invisalign cares for your teeth today while also protecting you from future problems. This comprehensive treatment option can be most beneficial in preventing tooth issues and concerns in the future.
This includes gum disease, tooth loss, and tooth decay, all of which commonly prevail and are often the result of poor dental hygiene.
Invisalign aids in a patient’s long-term dental health by allowing an improved oral hygiene routine.
Overcrowded teeth issues
Overcrowding occurs when there is insufficient space in the jaw for the teeth to fit correctly. Overcrowded teeth are more than just an eyesore. Tooth decay, gum disease, plaque accumulation, and other problems are caused by overcrowded teeth.
If the problem of overcrowded teeth is ignored, there is every chance that fractures can occur. It is important to recognise this problem and have it treated before it becomes an issue. Professional treatment with Invisalign aligners can help you very effectively deal with overcrowded teeth.
Safe for children, adolescents & adults
For adults, teens, and children alike, Invisalign braces are risk-free. While dental problems and the possible use of teeth straightening are monitored in children between the ages of 8 and 12, many dentists advise delaying the procedure until the child is 13 or 14.
Children shouldn't use Invisalign braces because of the responsibility of maintenance and potential loss of the aligner tray; however, this choice may differ from case to case. Although age is not a stipulation as to whether an Invisalign aligner won't be misplaced, delaying is still a good idea.
Corrects bite issues
Overbites, underbites, and open bites can all be treated with Invisalign. Overbites, also known as overjets, occur when the top teeth protrude beyond the lower teeth. This condition is commonly caused by undeveloped bones, heredity, and poor dental condition.
When the lower teeth protrude beyond the upper teeth, this is referred to as an underbite. Underbites are characterized by loss of upper jaw growth, an excess of lower jaw growth, or a mixture of the two. Missing teeth can also produce an underbite.
Underbites and overbites should be addressed with Invisalign or a variety of dental issues are likely to develop.
Underbites and overbites cause gum irritation, wear along the lower teeth, joint problems, a sore jaw, and tooth dysfunction. All of these issues can be avoided or corrected with Invisalign.
FAQs About Invisalign Treatment in Singapore
Frequently Ask Questions
What is the difference between Invisalign and traditional braces?
Traditional braces use metal or ceramic brackets bonded to the teeth, connected by wires that are periodically tightened to move the teeth. They are fixed in place for the duration of treatment. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligner trays that are changed every one to two weeks. Both methods are clinically effective; the right choice depends on your bite complexity, lifestyle and personal preference. Dr Burlinson will assess both options during your consultation and recommend the most appropriate treatment for you
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment duration depends on the complexity of your case. Most patients complete their Invisalign treatment within 12 to 18 months. Simpler cases (Invisalign Lite) can be completed in as little as six months, while more complex bite corrections may take up to 24 months. For best results, aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day.
How often will I need to visit the clinic during Invisalign treatment?
Progress review appointments are typically scheduled every six to eight weeks. At each visit, Dr Burlinson will assess how your teeth are tracking, make any necessary adjustments, and provide your next sets of aligners. This is one of the key practical advantages of Invisalign over fixed braces, which generally require more frequent adjustment appointments.
Is there an age limit for Invisalign?
There is no upper age limit for Invisalign. Adults of all ages can achieve excellent results, and Invisalign is increasingly popular among patients in their 30s, 40s and 50s who prefer a discreet treatment option. Invisalign Teen is available for younger patients whose permanent teeth have fully erupted, typically from around age 13 or 14. Dr Burlinson will advise on the most appropriate timing and product for younger patients during a consultation.
