Invisalign & clear aligners

Invisalign in Seoul, planned by an orthodontic specialist

Clear aligners are only as good as the plan behind them. Dr. Lee designs every tooth movement herself and follows your progress from the first scan to your retainers.

2026 Invisalign® Purple Diamond Provider

What Purple Diamond means

Invisalign recognizes its providers in tiers based on how many Invisalign cases they treat. Dr. Lee holds Purple Diamond status for 2026, and she also teaches Invisalign as an instructor for university hospitals.

Experience shows most in the harder movements, such as rotating a canine or opening a deep bite, where the result depends on how carefully the plan is built.

Dr. Lee reviewing a 3D aligner treatment plan

Often a good fit

  • Crowded or overlapping teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Mild to moderate bite problems
  • Teeth that moved after previous braces
  • Adults who want treatment that is hard to notice

When braces may work better

  • Large movements that aligners control less predictably
  • Wearing aligners 20 to 22 hours a day is not realistic for you
  • Some cases that need teeth removed

Dr. Lee will tell you plainly at the consultation if braces would give you a more predictable result.

How it works

Three stages, all with Dr. Lee

Digital intraoral scan
01

Records and digital scan

A 3D scan replaces messy impressions. X-rays and photos complete the diagnosis.

Your ClinCheck® plan

Dr. Lee adjusts each tooth movement in ClinCheck software, then shows you the planned result before you begin.

Wear and check-ins

You switch to new aligners as directed and visit regularly, typically every 6 to 10 weeks, so Dr. Lee can confirm the teeth are tracking.

Two systems

Invisalign and Angel Aligner

We offer both. Dr. Lee recommends one after looking at your teeth, your goals and where you expect to live during treatment.

Moving during treatment

Your aligner treatment can travel with you

If you relocate before treatment ends, we send your scans, X-rays, photos and treatment plan in English, in formats orthodontists abroad can use, and help hand your case over to your new provider so treatment continues.

Cost

A written estimate before you commit

The fee depends on how many teeth need to move, how far, and for how long. After your examination you receive a written estimate in English. Card payment is available.

Risks and what to expect

  • Pressure or soreness for a few days with each new set of aligners
  • Small tooth-colored attachments and slight enamel reshaping between teeth may be needed
  • Results depend on wearing aligners 20 to 22 hours a day
  • As with any orthodontic treatment, root shortening, gum recession and decay can occur
  • Teeth can shift back if retainers are not worn after treatment

Questions

Invisalign FAQ

How many hours a day do I need to wear aligners?
20 to 22 hours a day. Take them out only to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush.
Can Invisalign treat every case?
Many cases, though some movements are more predictable with braces. Dr. Lee will tell you after your examination which option suits your teeth.
What are attachments?
Small tooth-colored bumps bonded to some teeth so the aligners can grip and move them accurately. They are removed when treatment ends.
Does it hurt?
Most people feel pressure for a day or two after switching to a new set. It usually fades quickly.
How long does treatment take?
It depends on the case. Simple corrections can take months, while full treatment often takes one to two years. You will get an estimated timeline with your plan.
