Crooked or gapped teeth affect more than just your appearance. They make cleaning harder, increase the risk of gum disease, and can cause jaw pain over time. Traditionally, fixing them meant wearing metal braces for two or more years.
At Teeth Care Multispeciality Dental Clinic, we deliver original quality Invisalign in Kolkata as we are among the top certified Invisalign providers in Kolkata to plan and deliver Invisalign treatment. This guide covers everything you need to know: what Invisalign is, how it works, how much it costs in Kolkata, and whether it is right for you.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a teeth-straightening system that uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic transparent aligners instead of metal brackets and wires. Each aligner is worn for about one to two weeks, gradually shifting your teeth into the correct position. Because the aligners are transparent and removable, most people around you will not notice you are undergoing orthodontic treatment.Invisalign vs Metal Braces: Key Differences
| Feature | Invisalign | Metal Braces |
|---|---|---|
| Visibility | ✅ Nearly invisible | ❌ Clearly visible |
| Removable | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| Dietary restrictions | ✅ None | ❌ Many |
| Cleaning teeth | ✅ Normal brushing | ❌ Requires special tools |
| Average treatment time | 12–18 months | 18–24 months |
| Comfort | ✅ Smooth plastic, no wires | ❌ Can cause irritation |
| Check-up frequency | Every 6–8 weeks | Every 4–6 weeks |
How Invisalign Works at TCMDC
1
Digital Consultation
Your orthodontist in Kolkata at TCMDC takes a 3D digital scan of your teeth — no uncomfortable impressions. The scan creates an exact model of your mouth.
2
ClinCheck Treatment Plan
Using Invisalign’s ClinCheck software, your dentist maps out every movement your teeth need to make. You can see a digital preview of your results before treatment even begins.
3
Custom Aligners Manufactured
Your personalised set of aligners is manufactured and shipped to our clinic. Each aligner is trimmed precisely for your teeth.
4
Wearing the Aligners
You wear each aligner for 20–22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink (anything other than water), brush, and floss. Every one to two weeks, you move to the next aligner in the series.
5
Progress Reviews
You visit us every 6–8 weeks so your orthodontist can confirm treatment is progressing correctly and hand over your next set of aligners.
6
Retainers
Once treatment is complete, you wear retainers to maintain your new smile. This is standard for all orthodontic treatments.
What Dental Problems Can Invisalign Fix?
Invisalign is effective for a wide range of alignment issues:
For severe skeletal or jaw alignment issues, metal braces or surgical options may be more appropriate. Your orthodontist will advise after examination.

Frequently Askd Questions
Is Invisalign painful?
Most patients experience mild pressure for a day or two after switching to a new aligner. This is normal and means the aligners are working. There are no wires or brackets to cause cuts or irritation.
Can I eat normally with Invisalign?
Yes. You remove the aligners before eating, so there are no food restrictions. Simply brush your teeth before putting the aligners back in.
Will Invisalign affect my speech?
Some patients notice a slight lisp in the first few days. This typically resolves within a week as your mouth adjusts.
How do I clean the aligners?
Rinse them under lukewarm water and brush gently with a soft toothbrush. Do not use hot water as it can distort the plastic.
What happens if I lose an aligner?
Contact us immediately. We will advise whether to move to the next aligner or order a replacement.
Is Invisalign suitable for teenagers?
Yes. Invisalign Teen is specifically designed for teenage patients, with built-in compliance indicators to track wear time.
What is the difference between Invisalign and local clear aligners?
Invisalign aligners are manufactured by Align Technology under strict quality controls. Generic clear aligners from uncertified providers vary widely in quality and lack the ClinCheck treatment planning system. TCMDC is a certified Invisalign provider, meaning your treatment follows Align Technology’s clinical protocols.
