Clear Aligners
Aesthetic – Modern – Refined
Confidently have a radiant, beautiful smile with an invisible braces journey
Besides the traditional bracket braces method, clear aligner braces are a modern, smart and convenient orthodontic solution for customers who want braces while still achieving high aesthetics throughout treatment.
Many clear aligner brands have now entered the market, making it easy for customers to access solutions for beautifying their smile and improving oral health. But among them, which is the safe, optimal and suitable choice? Don't worry, Kha Dental will give you useful information about clear aligners that are smart, high-quality and safe.
How Clear Aligners Work
Clear aligners are a method that uses a series of clear aligner trays made of special, safe bio-based plastic.
The clear trays are personalized to the customer's dental impressions and work by applying force to move teeth according to the orthodontist's plan. Typically, patients need to wear 20–48 trays depending on the degree of misalignment. Each tray is worn for about 7–10 days and at least 20–22 hours a day to move teeth into the desired position on the dental arch.

Who Are Clear Aligners For?
Clear aligners are suitable for both children and adults, and can especially help treat the following cases:
People with protrusion, underbite, misalignment, bite discrepancies, gapped teeth… who want a proper bite and even teeth and improved facial aesthetics.
People who need orthodontics but have special medical conditions or are allergic to metal.
People with high aesthetic requirements who need to communicate a lot during braces.
People whose work requires frequent travel and who do not have much time for check-ups.
Benefits of Clear Aligner Trays
Clear aligners not only ensure high aesthetics but also give customers a convenient, comfortable experience.
Highly aesthetic clear trays, confident speaking and smiling: The clear aligner set fits snugly around the dental arch and is highly aesthetic and hard to notice. Customers can therefore communicate confidently every day.
Flexible removal, easy cleaning: The trays can be removed easily for eating and cleaning. So you can still eat comfortably while getting orthodontic treatment.
No obstruction or discomfort, a comfortable orthodontic experience: Because they use no brackets or archwires, clear aligners do not cause obstruction or discomfort. Customers have a comfortable orthodontic experience when eating, chewing and communicating.
Maximally safe aligner material: The trays are made of premium bio-based plastic certified safe for health, even for pregnant women, so customers can use them with peace of mind.
Simulate the treatment process in stages and predict the final orthodontic result: Modern Clincheck software lets customers visualize the process of teeth moving. You can also see the final aesthetic result of your smile.
Comfortably and confidently discuss the treatment plan with your doctor: With the modern, professional Invisalign method, supported by Clincheck software, the doctor will propose different aligner treatment options that are highly feasible, analyzing the pros and cons of each plan. You can confidently discuss your wishes with the orthodontist to choose the most optimal treatment option for yourself.
Limitations of Clear Aligner Trays
Invisalign clear aligner trays are manufactured in the USA, then shipped to Vietnam, where the doctor checks, delivers and fits them for the patient. Therefore, the biggest limitation of clear aligners is a higher cost than bracket braces. However, it is a worthwhile investment thanks to outstanding advantages such as high aesthetics, optimal results, time savings and a comfortable, convenient experience.
What Factors Make Clear Aligners Successful?
The success of a clear aligner treatment is determined by several factors such as:
A doctor with deep orthodontic expertise
The doctor needs solid orthodontic expertise, a rich background in orthodontics, and understanding of bone structure and the physiology of tooth movement. The doctor also needs proficient skills to examine, correctly diagnose the patient's condition and design an optimal treatment roadmap.
A treatment plan suited to the dental condition
Based on imaging data, photographs and supporting software, the doctor makes a detailed assessment of the current dental condition and, based on the patient's wishes, draws up a specific plan and treatment time. In addition, patients are advised on choosing a clear aligner brand that ensures high effectiveness and suits their finances.
Patient cooperation
Patients need to persistently wear the aligners correctly and for the full time, and return for follow-ups and wear retainers according to the doctor's instructions. This helps orthodontic treatment go smoothly according to the roadmap originally set.
Monitoring progress throughout treatment
Clear aligner treatment needs to be monitored regularly by the doctor with continuous screening. This allows the doctor to make appropriate adjustments if any abnormality is found during tooth movement.
Follow the Diet and Oral Hygiene as Directed by Your Doctor
The success of clear aligners, besides choosing a reputable, experienced doctor with deep knowledge of dentofacial orthopedics, depends on the patient's strict compliance with diet and thorough, correct oral care, which are important factors contributing to a satisfying final result.
Clear Aligner Procedure
At Kha Dental, the standard clear aligner procedure includes 8 steps that give customers an effective, safe and comfortable treatment experience.
Step 1
Examination, consultation, orthodontic X-rays
Step 2
Digital dental impressions
Step 3
Discussing the treatment plan on Clincheck software
Step 4
Aligner production
Step 5
Receiving and wearing the aligners
Step 6
Follow-up, monitoring and adjustment
Step 7
End of treatment, wearing a retainer
Step 8
Regular follow-ups after treatment ends
Step 1: Examination and consultation with the doctor
Customers are given a general examination by the doctor, and X-rays are indicated to assess the condition of teeth and jaws in detail. The doctor then advises a suitable braces roadmap.
Step 2: Digital 3D dental impressions
Customers have digital 3D dental impressions taken with the Trios scanner, which records the condition of teeth accurately and vividly. The doctor then works with Align technicians and uses Clincheck software to simulate the treatment plan.
Step 3: Reviewing the treatment plan with Clincheck
Clincheck software completes the treatment plan in about 3–4 weeks. The doctor schedules the customer to view the Clincheck treatment plan to know how many trays will be needed and to visualize the tooth movement process.
Step 4: Manufacturing trays made just for you
If you accept the Clincheck treatment plan, the doctor confirms it so Align can manufacture aligner trays personalized to your dental arch.
Step 5: Receiving and wearing the aligners
After about 3–4 weeks, the doctor schedules you to come to the clinic to have the aligners fitted. The doctor also shows you how to wear the aligners along with some necessary instructions.
Step 6: Follow-up and monitoring
Customers return to the doctor for follow-ups to monitor tooth movement and receive the next aligner trays.
Step 7: End of treatment, wearing a retainer
After wearing all the aligner trays, customers need to wear a retainer and return for regular follow-ups for about 1–2 years to maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.
Step 8: Regular follow-ups after treatment ends
After clear aligner treatment ends, regular follow-ups and oral hygiene are necessary to keep orthodontic results stable and lasting over time.
Notes for clear aligners
Many clear aligner brands on the market advertise superior technology, artificial intelligence (AI) treatment planning and result previews… leading many people to mistake the essential role of the clear aligner trays.
In fact, the different aligner types are only supporting tools. The most important thing remains having a doctor with deep orthodontic expertise who follows the treatment closely, so as to adjust and supplement the plan accurately to suit each dental condition.
Team of Doctors with In-Depth Research in Dentofacial Orthopedics
Trained and mentored by world-renowned professors
Dr. Ngoc Kha is the Founder – Chief Medical Officer and also Head Doctor in charge of Orthodontics and Implants at Kha Dental.
Since his student days, Dr. Ngoc Kha witnessed failed orthodontic cases caused by the overuse of extractions, which seriously affected patients' temporomandibular joint and muscle systems — joint pain, jaw fatigue, bone loss, loose teeth and many other dangerous complications. This drove him to keep researching dentofacial orthopedics in depth, especially growth-guidance braces for children, determined to find a non-extraction, minimally invasive solution that restores healthy, satisfying smiles and dispels the fear of having teeth pulled during orthodontic treatment.
Skeletal and dental irregularities in children need to be detected early and treated in time to protect the child's teeth and jaw system from severe developments in adulthood that could leave consequences for both aesthetics and jaw function later on. It would be a real pity if parents delay taking their child to an orthodontic specialist for examination and screening of baby tooth replacement and bite misalignment, so that any dental and jaw irregularities are not detected early and correction and treatment are delayed. The American Association of Orthodontists encourages parents to take children to a qualified orthodontist starting at age 4, so that children receive timely care, prevention and orthodontic intervention, contributing to their comprehensive development in the future.

Creating Healthy, Beautiful and Lasting Smiles
When I came to Kha Dental Nha Trang, I found the facilities very modern, clean and comfortable, creating a warm, homey feeling. The dental nurses were so friendly and cared for me with great enthusiasm.

I've had an open bite since I was little, plus a crooked canine sitting way up high, and my teeth were very crowded — I didn't dare to smile at all. Since Dr. Kha started my braces, pulling the canine back into an aesthetic position, my teeth are now evenly aligned and, above all, my open bite is gone. Thank goodness my teeth are healthy and beautiful; I enjoy eating so much more because I can now eat foods I never could before because of the open bite. Even though I'm still in the fine-tuning stage before the braces come off, I already feel far more confident than before, and I can smile brightly in front of a crowd in these precious youthful years — I'm so happy!

Frequently Asked Questions About Clear Aligners
Kha Dental answers some questions customers often wonder about when getting clear aligners:
There are many types of clear aligner trays today, the most popular being Invisalign, 3D Clear, iWay and eCligner.
Clear aligners feel comfortable and almost painless thanks to outstanding advantages such as plastic trays that fit snugly around the dental arch, do not rub the gums, are easy to remove, and do not create a constricting or uncomfortable feeling…
Clear aligner treatment time depends on the specific dental condition. For cases of moderate difficulty, about 2 – 3 years are needed to achieve the optimal orthodontic result. In addition, the treatment time also depends on other factors such as the doctor's skill, the quality of the trays and the patient's lifestyle habits during orthodontics.
With their compact, refined design, clear aligners have little effect on pronunciation and voice. When you first get used to the aligners in your mouth, you may feel slightly uncomfortable and slur your words. However, you can rest assured that after about 4 – 7 days this feeling will disappear.
If clear aligners are cheap but the trays are of unknown origin, easily deformed, loosening or falling off, they can make teeth shift even more and cause dangerous complications.
For your clear aligner journey to go smoothly, effectively and safely, you should choose a reputable dental clinic with specialist, experienced orthodontists. Book an appointment now with Kha Dental's doctors via the hotline 085 205 2212.
