With them the orthodontist achieves precise tooth movements, but <strong>treatment is often longer<\/strong>, the appearance is less discreet and cleaning is more demanding.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, the <strong>invisible appliance Invisalign<\/strong> works with a <strong>system of clear removable aligners<\/strong> that fit closely to the teeth and gradually move them into the correct position. <strong>It is discreet, comfortable and almost unnoticeable.<\/strong> In addition to these two methods there are other options, such as lingual appliances placed on the inner side of the teeth, which are used more rarely, or clear fixed braces, which require a considerable financial investment.<\/p>\n<h2>Advantages of the invisible Invisalign appliance<\/h2>\n<p>The main advantages of Invisalign invisible appliances are <strong>comfort and discretion.<\/strong> Because the appliance is removable, you can <strong>easily take it out during meals or brushing<\/strong>, so oral hygiene is much easier than handling fixed braces. The aligners contain no metal parts, so they <strong>do not cause irritation of the oral mucosa or gums,<\/strong> which means less pain and discomfort and less hassle with the invisible appliance.<\/p>\n<p>Many patients also notice that the Invisalign invisible appliance <strong>does not affect speech and does not disturb daily activities<\/strong>, so it is suitable for people who often appear in public or have professions where appearance matters.<\/p>\n<h3>See your final smile before treatment even begins<\/h3>\n<p>The digital treatment plan lets you see exactly at the start how your teeth will gradually move and <strong>what the final result will be.<\/strong> This way you have a sense of control throughout and a clear insight into where the use of the Invisalign invisible appliance is leading you.<\/p>\n<p>Interested in how Invisalign can replace braces for children?

Each new set moves the teeth slightly, <strong>until they reach perfect alignment.<\/strong> The movements are planned digitally, which ensures <strong>exceptional precision and predictability of the course of treatment<\/strong> with the invisible appliance.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike classic braces, where the orthodontist manually adjusts the wires, Invisalign is based on 3D technology that simulates tooth movements in advance. This way the orthodontist at <a href='https:\/\/orthodental.si\/en\/'><strong>OrthoDental<\/strong><\/a> can prepare a complete treatment overview at the very start and show the patient a <strong>virtual preview of their future smile<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"od-btn2\" href=\"\/en\/contact\/\">I want an appointment with the orthodontist<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img src='https:\/\/orthodental.si\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/free-invisalign-exam.webp' alt='A person in a light pink sweater holding an open case with an Invisalign aligner and gently placing it inside.' width='768' height='1152' loading='lazy'><\/p>\n<h2>The Invisalign treatment procedure<\/h2>\n<p>The procedure begins with a thorough examination and 3D scanning of the teeth using the modern <strong>iTero<\/strong> intraoral scanner, which is comfortable for the patient. This is followed by preparation of a digital movement plan, on the basis of which the individual aligners are made. The patient then wears them about 22 hours a day, removing them only during meals or brushing for better oral hygiene.<\/p>\n<h3>Fewer orthodontist visits thanks to Virtual Care<\/h3>\n<p>Check-ups are less frequent than with fixed braces, because progress is also monitored digitally through the Virtual Care system. This is an advanced solution that keeps you <strong>connected with your orthodontist throughout treatment with the invisible Invisalign appliance, without frequent visits to the clinic.<\/strong> Through the My Invisalign app and a special camera you send photos of your progress, and the orthodontist reviews them and follows your development.<\/p>\n<figure><img src=\"https:\/\/orthodental.si\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Invisalign-clear-aligners-treatment-duration.webp\" alt=\"Invisalign clear aligners in a case next to a toothbrush and glass by a bathroom sink\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Price and payment<\/h2>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/orthodental.si\/en\/invisalign-price\/'>The price of the invisible Invisalign appliance<\/a> depends on the complexity of the orthodontic irregularity and the length of treatment. At <strong>OrthoDental<\/strong> the price of the standard Invisalign package is around <strong>4,000 euros<\/strong>, and for very demanding cases it can increase by an additional 1,000 to 2,000 euros. For smaller corrections the <strong>Invisalign Small<\/strong> package is available, which costs <strong>2,500 euros<\/strong> and is for both arches. All packages include both dental arches.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Payment in instalments is possible<\/strong>, which lets patients organise treatment without major financial pressure. The price of treatment with the Invisalign appliance is comparable to the price of fixed braces, <strong>but the difference is in comfort, aesthetics and flexibility of use<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"od-btn2\" href=\"\/en\/contact\/\">I want a FREE appointment with the orthodontist<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>More than 2500 Invisalign patients trust us<\/h2>\n<p><iframe width='560' height='315' src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TwzvYeOYpsQ' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The four steps below sum up what to expect from an Invisalign journey at OrthoDental.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"od-info\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 920 190\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Your Invisalign journey\"><text x=\"460\" y=\"34\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"22\" font-weight=\"700\" fill=\"#173a4d\">Your Invisalign journey<\/text><line x1=\"147\" y1=\"88\" x2=\"313\" y2=\"88\" stroke=\"#bfe3f4\" stroke-width=\"3\"\/><circle cx=\"115\" cy=\"88\" r=\"26\" fill=\"#1ba3dd\"\/><text x=\"115\" y=\"95\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"22\" font-weight=\"700\" fill=\"#ffffff\">1<\/text><text x=\"115\" y=\"140\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"14\" fill=\"#173a4d\">Free<\/text><text x=\"115\" y=\"157\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"14\" fill=\"#173a4d\">consultation<\/text><line x1=\"377\" y1=\"88\" x2=\"543\" y2=\"88\" stroke=\"#bfe3f4\" stroke-width=\"3\"\/><circle cx=\"345\" cy=\"88\" r=\"26\" fill=\"#1ba3dd\"\/><text x=\"345\" y=\"95\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"22\" font-weight=\"700\" fill=\"#ffffff\">2<\/text><text x=\"345\" y=\"140\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"14\" fill=\"#173a4d\">Custom aligner<\/text><text x=\"345\" y=\"157\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"14\" fill=\"#173a4d\">plan<\/text><line x1=\"607\" y1=\"88\" x2=\"773\" y2=\"88\" stroke=\"#bfe3f4\" stroke-width=\"3\"\/><circle cx=\"575\" cy=\"88\" r=\"26\" fill=\"#1ba3dd\"\/><text x=\"575\" y=\"95\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"22\" font-weight=\"700\" fill=\"#ffffff\">3<\/text><text x=\"575\" y=\"140\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"14\" fill=\"#173a4d\">Wear &amp;<\/text><text x=\"575\" y=\"157\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"14\" fill=\"#173a4d\">switch aligners<\/text><circle cx=\"805\" cy=\"88\" r=\"26\" fill=\"#1ba3dd\"\/><text x=\"805\" y=\"95\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"22\" font-weight=\"700\" fill=\"#ffffff\">4<\/text><text x=\"805\" y=\"140\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"14\" fill=\"#173a4d\">Retainer keeps<\/text><text x=\"805\" y=\"157\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"14\" fill=\"#173a4d\">results<\/text><\/svg><\/figure>\n<h2>Pain with braces and with the Invisalign appliance<\/h2>\n<p>Every orthodontic therapy requires moving the teeth, which can cause some sensitivity. With classic braces the discomfort <strong>usually appears after tightening the wires,<\/strong> which creates a feeling of pressure. Metal parts can irritate the gums and the inside of the cheeks, which sometimes requires the use of wax or pain relief.<\/p>\n<p>Invisible appliances such as Invisalign allow treatment and <strong>alignment of the teeth with significantly less pain.<\/strong> Some tension may appear in the first days after changing aligners, but it quickly passes. Because the aligners have no sharp edges and contain no metal, patients usually report a much more pleasant experience.<\/p>\n<h2>The Invisalign appliance is suitable for everyone<\/h2>\n<p>Invisalign is <strong>suitable for children, teenagers and adults<\/strong> who want a discreet and effective solution for aligning their teeth. It can be used for mild, moderate and even complex orthodontic cases. For very demanding irregularities, the orthodontist at <strong>OrthoDental<\/strong> judges whether a combination of methods might be more suitable.<\/p>\n<p>An advantage of the Invisalign appliance is also that it does not limit everyday life. It is suitable for athletes, speakers, musicians and anyone who wants beautiful teeth without changes to their routine.<\/p>\n<h2>The Invisalign appliance is a modern way of orthodontic treatment<\/h2>\n<p>Invisalign is suitable for children, teenagers and adults who want to improve their smile and confidence. Invisalign and classic braces share a common goal: perfectly aligned teeth and a beautiful smile. The difference is in the <strong>approach, comfort and aesthetics.<\/strong> The Invisalign invisible appliance allows discreet treatment, easier hygiene maintenance and less pain.
