What the procedure involves.
China is one of Invisalign's largest global markets, with thousands of certified providers and competitive pricing. Orthodontic treatment in China costs 40-60% less than in the US while using the same Invisalign aligners manufactured to identical specifications. Major cities have orthodontists who have treated thousands of cases, and remote monitoring technology allows patients to continue treatment at home after initial fitting.
Step by step.
Orthodontic Assessment & 3D Scanning
Comprehensive examination including digital 3D scanning, X-rays, and photographs. The orthodontist creates a ClinCheck treatment plan showing the predicted movement of each tooth from start to finish.
Aligner Fitting & Attachments
Custom aligners are fabricated and the first set is fitted. Small tooth-colored attachments may be bonded to specific teeth to facilitate complex movements. You receive multiple sets of aligners to change every 1-2 weeks.
Remote Monitoring & Progress Checks
Treatment progress is monitored remotely using smartphone photos or dental monitoring apps. Periodic in-person or virtual check-ups ensure teeth are tracking correctly. Adjustments can be made to the treatment plan as needed.

Invisalign treatment in Chengdu — paid about $1,800 for full treatment that would cost $6,000+ in the UK. Had to come for 3 visits over 18 months but each trip was a holiday too. The orthodontist was thorough and patient despite the language barrier.
