How Invisalign® works
Invisalign® is based on a state-of-the-art digital process that combines medical expertise with advanced software intelligence. At The Eram Clinic, we do not use the traditional, often uncomfortable impression tray and impression material. Instead, we capture your dental situation with a high-precision intraoral scanner. Based on this digital data, we create a personalised treatment plan that calculates every single tooth movement in advance. Using ClinCheck software, we can show you a 3D simulation of what your smile will look like after treatment, even before the first day of treatment.
The aligners themselves are made from patented SmartTrack material. This biocompatible plastic has been specially developed to exert constant but gentle forces on the teeth, making treatment not only more efficient but also more comfortable. Every one to two weeks, you switch to a new pair of aligners, which gradually move your teeth closer to their target position. As the aligners are virtually invisible, you can laugh and speak without worry throughout the entire treatment period – a feature that makes Invisalign® the preferred choice for professionals and people in the public eye.
Freedom and flexibility: a system for the modern lifestyle
One of the key advantages of Invisalign® at our Zurich clinic is its unparalleled flexibility. Unlike fixed appliances, the aligners can be removed at any time. For you, this means no dietary restrictions. You can continue to enjoy everything you like without having to worry about sticky or hard foods. Daily oral hygiene also remains uncomplicated. Simply remove the aligners to brush your teeth and floss, which greatly reduces the risk of tooth decay or gum inflammation during the correction process.
In addition, Invisalign® requires significantly fewer check-ups at the practice than conventional methods. At The Eram Clinic, we usually give you several pairs of aligners in advance, so that the treatment fits in perfectly with a busy schedule or frequent travel. The aligners are so flat and precisely crafted that they do not interfere with speech and do not cause irritation to the mucous membranes. We combine this technological freedom with our aesthetic expertise to ensure that the correction not only straightens your teeth, but also emphasises the overall harmony of your face.
Why Invisalign® is an excellent choice at The Eram Clinic
Choosing Invisalign® at our clinic is a choice for precision and aesthetic foresight. We do not view orthodontics in isolation, but as part of a comprehensive beauty concept. At The Eram Clinic, you benefit from interdisciplinary care: throughout the entire process, we check how the new tooth position harmonises with other aesthetic goals, such as veneers or a smile makeover. Our specialists have the necessary experience to successfully correct even complex malocclusions such as crossbites, deep bites or severe crowding. You are investing in a procedure that guarantees maximum results with minimum visibility and improves your quality of life from the very first aligner.

Holistic refinement for your most radiant smile
At The Eram Clinic, the journey to your perfect smile does not end with the last aligner. Once your teeth are in the ideal position, there are numerous options for further refining the result. Professional teeth whitening is the ideal complement to make your now perfectly aligned teeth shine. Combining this with professional dental hygiene is also essential to consolidate the health of the periodontium after movement and to remove plaque that could accumulate under the aligners despite good care.
To ensure that the results achieved last a lifetime, we at The Eram Clinic place great emphasis on retention. We offer discreet retainer solutions that prevent your teeth from moving back into their old position. At the same time, the new aesthetic balance of your mouth can be harmoniously rounded off with medical aesthetic measures such as subtle lip injections or wrinkle treatment. In our modern premises in Zurich, we provide you with comprehensive support – from the initial digital analysis to the final touches for your personal charisma.

Frequently asked questions about Invisalign®
Yes, in the hands of experienced practitioners, Invisalign® can correct almost all misaligned teeth that previously required fixed braces. The combination of precise software planning and innovative materials enables highly effective tooth movement.
In order to achieve the calculated results within the planned time frame, the aligners should be worn for approximately 22 hours a day. They are only removed for eating, drinking (except water) and dental care.
In the first few days after switching to a new set of aligners, you may experience a slight feeling of pressure. This is a very positive sign, as it shows that the aligners are gently moving your teeth. Compared to wires and brackets, Invisalign® is considered to be much more comfortable.
Most patients get used to the splints within a few hours. An initial, minimal change in pronunciation (slight lisp) usually disappears very quickly once the tongue has become accustomed to the smooth surface.
The cost depends on the extent of the correction and the number of aligners required. After an initial digital analysis at The Eram Clinic, we will provide you with a transparent cost plan that covers all services from planning to retention.
