The Treatment
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a system of clear, custom-moulded plastic aligners that move teeth gradually. Each aligner is worn 20–22 hours a day for one to two weeks before swapping to the next. Aligners are removable for eating and brushing, and the predicted final result is shown digitally via ClinCheck before any aligner is manufactured.
Platinum Elite Provider Status
Align Technology's highest designation, awarded based on case volume completed and clinical outcome quality. Fewer than 1% of clinics worldwide hold this tier. Our orthodontists are among the most experienced Invisalign practitioners in Vietnam.
iTero Intraoral Scanning
No gag-inducing putty moulds. The iTero scanner captures a precise 3D model of your teeth in minutes, the same digital workflow used by top Invisalign providers in Sydney, London and New York.
ClinCheck Simulation Before You Commit
Before your first aligner is manufactured, ClinCheck shows a frame-by-frame digital simulation of your predicted tooth movement and final outcome. Approve the plan, ask for adjustments, or walk away, all before any treatment fee.
Specialist Orthodontists
Invisalign cases at Picasso are delivered by orthodontists, not general dentists. Dr. Thuan Phung and Dr. Toan Le (Dr. Mathew) lead our orthodontic team, supported by Dr. Duong Ho (Masters, Université Paris Descartes), Head of Orthodontics.
Full Package Range
Eight tiers from Essentials (short cases, single arch) through Comprehensive (5-year plans with unlimited refinements), plus Invisalign First for children with mixed dentition. We match the package to your case, not the other way around.
Six Branches, One Standard
Treatment can transfer between any of our six clinics in Hanoi, Da Nang, HCMC and Da Lat, useful if you relocate within Vietnam during a multi-year case. Same orthodontic team, same protocols, same digital records.
The Orthodontists
Specialist-led, not general dentist-led.
Every Invisalign case at Picasso is planned and delivered by a qualified orthodontist. The distinction matters: case selection, ClinCheck design and mid-treatment corrections all require specialist judgment.

The Process
Five steps from first visit to final retainer.
Most patients visit the clinic twice in the first week, then every six to ten weeks for tracking checks. International patients stage visits around travel windows, we build the plan around your schedule.
1. Free Consultation
An orthodontist examines your bite, discusses your goals, and confirms whether Invisalign is the right tool for your case, or whether fixed braces would do a better job. Honest answer on day one.
2. iTero Scan & ClinCheck
We capture a 3D scan of your teeth and build a digital treatment plan in ClinCheck. You see a frame-by-frame simulation of the predicted outcome before any aligners are manufactured. Approve or adjust.
3. Aligners Arrive
Your full aligner series is custom-manufactured by Align Technology and shipped to the clinic. We fit your first set, attach any needed composite attachments, and walk you through wear and care.
4. Progress Check-Ins
Every 6–10 weeks we check tracking, review progress against the ClinCheck plan, and hand over the next aligners in the series. Most visits are short. International patients time these around return trips.
5. Refinements & Retention
If the final result needs touch-ups, refinement aligners are produced and included in Comprehensive plans. Once finished, Vivera or thermoplastic retainers preserve the result. Nightly wear, long-term.
Duration by Case
Essentials: 6–12 months. Minor crowding, relapse, or finishing tweaks.
Mild: 12–18 months. Light to moderate crowding, simple spacing, mild rotations.
Moderate: 18–24 months. Moderate crowding, mild bite correction, complex movements.
Comprehensive: Up to 5 years with refinements. Severe crowding, bite correction, extraction cases.
Honest Assessment
Who Invisalign works for, and who it doesn't.
Invisalign solves a wide range of orthodontic problems well, but not all of them. Our orthodontists tell you the honest answer on day one, before any fee is paid.
You're a Strong Candidate If
You have mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or relapse from previous orthodontics.
You have a stable bite, or a bite issue that ClinCheck confirms can be corrected with aligners.
You can commit to wearing aligners 20–22 hours a day, taking them out only to eat, drink and brush.
Your gums are healthy and any decay has been treated.
You will wear retainers nightly afterwards, long-term, to hold the result.
Invisalign May Not Be Right If
You have severe skeletal bite problems requiring surgical orthodontics.
You have very large rotations or complex extraction-driven cases where fixed braces are more predictable.
You cannot commit to 20–22 hours a day of wear. Aligners only work when worn.
You have active untreated gum disease or extensive decay, both must be resolved first.
If fixed braces are the better tool, our orthodontist will say so on day one.
Pricing
Itemised Invisalign pricing.
The right package depends on case complexity and how many arches need treatment. A ClinCheck planning fee covers the iTero scan, photographs, digital case set-up and ClinCheck simulation, and is credited toward your package fee if you proceed.
"A Comprehensive Invisalign case that runs $7,500 in Sydney becomes roughly $3,200 at Picasso. Same Align Technology aligners. Same ClinCheck software. The orthodontist's degree hangs on the same wall."

Risks & Tradeoffs
What can go wrong, and how we prevent it.
Invisalign is well-documented and predictable in suitable cases. It is not magic. Here is what the literature reports, what can go wrong, and how Picasso minimises avoidable risk.
Compliance-Dependent Outcome
Invisalign only works when worn. Studies (Rossini et al., 2015, systematic review) consistently identify wear-time compliance as the single biggest determinant of treatment success. Aligners removed for hours every day will not move teeth on schedule.
What Can Go Wrong
Tracking failure (teeth drift behind the planned movement). Refinement aligners required (additional sets to finish the case). Attachment debonding (composite buttons fall off and need re-bonding). Discomfort (pressure for 2–3 days after each new aligner, this is normal, not painless).
How We Minimise Risk
Specialist orthodontist case planning, not general dentists. ClinCheck preview approved before manufacturing. iTero scan accuracy at sub-30 microns. Composite attachments placed where biomechanics require. 6–10 week tracking checks throughout treatment. Refinements included in Comprehensive plans.
Cases Invisalign Cannot Solve
Severe skeletal bite problems, very large rotations, certain extraction-driven cases and some complex finishing situations are still better treated with fixed braces, sometimes combined with surgery. We tell you on day one if Invisalign is not the right tool.
The Retention Tradeoff
Teeth drift naturally throughout life, especially in the first year after orthodontics. Invisalign results are not permanent without retainers. We supply Vivera or thermoplastic retainers and recommend nightly wear indefinitely. Stop wearing them, and teeth will move back.
If We Cannot Finish on Plan
Comprehensive plans include refinement aligners, additional sets manufactured if the final result needs touch-ups. Shorter packages (Essentials, Lite) cover a defined number of aligners; refinements beyond that are quoted separately. We tell you upfront which package is realistic for your case.
Common Questions
The questions, answered.
If yours is not here, our clinical team replies to every online consultation within twenty-four hours.
What does Platinum Elite Invisalign Provider mean?
Platinum Elite is the highest tier in Align Technology's provider programme, awarded based on the number of Invisalign cases completed and clinical outcome quality. Fewer than 1% of clinics worldwide hold this status. Practically, it means our orthodontists have planned and finished a high volume of cases, including complex ones, and have access to the full Invisalign clinical range.
How is Invisalign different from braces?
Invisalign uses removable clear plastic aligners; fixed braces use brackets bonded to your teeth with a continuous archwire. Invisalign is more discreet and easier to clean around, but requires self-discipline. Some complex cases (severe rotations, certain bite corrections) are still better treated with fixed braces. Your orthodontist will advise honestly which is the right tool.
Will Invisalign hurt?
Most patients describe pressure or tightness for the first 2–3 days after switching to a new aligner, easing through the wear cycle. It is not painless, teeth are being moved, but it is generally less uncomfortable than the days after a fixed-brace adjustment. Over-the-counter pain relief is enough for most patients on day one of a new aligner.
Can I eat and drink with my aligners in?
No. You take them out to eat and to drink anything other than water. This protects the aligners from staining and cracking, and prevents food from being pressed against your teeth for hours. Brush before reinserting whenever possible.
What is the ClinCheck planning fee?
It covers the iTero scan, photographs, digital case set-up and the ClinCheck simulation. You see your predicted outcome before committing to treatment. If you proceed, the fee is credited toward your package price. For the current amount, see the Invisalign cost guide.
Are there cases Invisalign cannot fix?
Yes. Severe skeletal bite problems, very large rotations, certain extraction patterns and some complex finishing situations are still best treated with fixed braces, sometimes combined with surgery. Our orthodontists will tell you on day one if Invisalign is not the right tool for your case.
Can children have Invisalign?
Yes: Invisalign First is designed for children with mixed dentition (some baby teeth, some permanent). It addresses early-stage crowding, expansion and arch development. Phase 1 covers the early intervention period; Phase 2 is the comprehensive alignment phase once permanent teeth are present.
Will I need attachments or IPR?
Often, yes. Composite attachments (small tooth-coloured bumps bonded to specific teeth) help aligners grip and produce certain movements. IPR (interproximal reduction, a fraction of a millimetre filed between teeth) is sometimes used to create space without extractions. Both are planned in your ClinCheck and reversible at the end of treatment.
What happens if I move mid-treatment?
Your full digital records (iTero scans, ClinCheck files, photographs) can be shared with any Invisalign-trained orthodontist worldwide. Treatment is portable, and many international patients finish refinements with us in Vietnam after starting elsewhere.
Will I need to wear a retainer afterwards?
Yes, long-term. Teeth naturally want to drift, especially in the first year. We supply Vivera or thermoplastic retainers at the end of treatment and recommend nightly wear indefinitely to preserve your result.
