Invisalign and clear aligners in Pasig & Mandaluyong.
Straighten your teeth without traditional braces. Aligners are removable, nearly invisible, and planned digitally so you can see where your teeth are heading before you start. For some cases braces are still the better tool — and we'll tell you honestly which one fits.
The process
How clear aligners work.
Most adult cases run somewhere between six and eighteen months, depending on how much movement is needed.
01
Consultation and scan
We assess your bite and crowding, take records, and talk through whether aligners or braces suit your case better.
1 visit
02
Digital treatment plan
Your tooth movements are planned digitally, with a projected timeline and a written quote. You decide before anything is ordered.
1 visit
03
Your aligners are made
Your custom aligner sets are manufactured to that plan and shipped to the clinic.
2–3 weeks
04
Wear and switch
Each set is worn 20–22 hours a day for around two weeks, then you switch to the next at home. Results depend heavily on actually wearing them.
Ongoing
05
Progress checks
Periodic visits so we can confirm your teeth are tracking to plan and hand over your next sets.
Every 6–8 weeks
06
Retainers
Once your teeth are where they should be, a retainer holds them there. Skipping retainers is the single most common reason people relapse.

Aligners or braces? We recommend whichever genuinely fits your case, not whichever costs more. For severe crowding, rotations or bite correction, braces often do the job better and faster — and we'd rather tell you that than sell you aligners.

Orthodontic questions
What patients ask about aligners.
Cost, comfort, timelines, and whether aligners or braces suit your case.
/01 How much do clear aligners cost in the Philippines?
Clear aligner pricing at Modern Smiles is confirmed in writing after your orthodontic consultation and digital assessment, because the fee depends on how much tooth movement your case needs and how long treatment runs. For comparison, self-ligating braces start at ₱120,000 and metal braces start at ₱70,000. Book an orthodontic consultation for a quote specific to your case.
/02 Is Invisalign worth it for adults in their 30s and 40s?
Teeth can be moved at any age, so there's no upper limit for adult orthodontics. Aligners suit adults who want something discreet and removable, and who will genuinely wear them 20–22 hours a day. If you know you'd take them out often, fixed braces are usually the more reliable choice.
/03 How long does clear aligner treatment take?
Most adult cases take somewhere between six and eighteen months. Simple spacing or mild crowding can finish sooner; cases involving bite correction take longer. You'll get a projected timeline as part of your written treatment plan.
/04 Do aligners hurt?
You'll feel pressure and some tenderness for a day or two after switching to a new set — that's the teeth moving. It settles quickly and most patients find it easier than adjusting to fixed braces.
/05 Does HMO cover braces or Invisalign?
Most HMO plans in the Philippines do not cover orthodontic treatment, though some plans offer partial benefits. We're accredited with Maxicare, Cocolife, PhilCare, Filipino Doctors and Health Partners at our Shine Residences and Rockwell Sheridan branches, and we'll check exactly what your card covers before you commit. Installment options are available.
/06 Can I switch from braces to aligners partway through?
Sometimes, but it depends on where your case has got to and what movement is left. Bring your records to a consultation and we'll tell you honestly whether switching helps or just adds cost.
