What is invisible orthodontics and how does it work?
Invisible orthodontics is a system that replaces traditional metal wires and braces with a series of Custom-made clear aligners (splints).
These splints apply light, controlled forces to the teeth to progressively move them towards their ideal position. Every couple of weeks, the patient changes to a new set of aligners, advancing step-by-step through the treatment according to the digital plan created by our orthodontist.
Advantages of clear aligners over braces
Choosing invisible orthodontics (many people refer to it as Invisalign Orthodontics, as this brand was the pioneer) offers multiple benefits for your day-to-day life:
- Superior aesthetics The aligners are practically imperceptible. You'll be able to speak and smile completely naturally without it being noticeable that you are wearing orthodontics.
- 100% Removables: When you're able to remove your splints for eating, you won't have any food restrictions or discomfort when chewing.
- Perfect hygiene: It makes normal brushing and flossing easier, drastically reducing the risk of cavities and keeping your gums healthy.
- Maximum comfort By not having metal components, chafing, sores, or emergencies from loose wires are avoided.
- More agile reviews Clinic appointments are usually shorter and more spread out, ideal for patients with busy schedules.
3D Planning: Know your new smile before you start
At Nubis Dental Dental Clinic, we are committed to innovation to give you the greatest safety. We always discard uncomfortable traditional paste impressions where possible, using a 3D intraoral scanner.
This technology allows us to obtain an exact digital recreation of your mouth in minutes. From there, we design the treatment plan by computer, which will allow you to see a 3D virtual simulation of how your teeth will move and what the final result will be before you even put on the first aligner.

Frequently Asked Questions about Invisible Orthodontics
What brands of aligners do you use at the clinic, Spark, Invisalign...?
At Nubis Dental Dental Clinic, we work with the most advanced clear aligner systems on the market. However, our specialists generally recommend the system Spark, as it is made with the innovative TruGEN material. This cutting-edge material allows for very transparent aligners that are quite stain-resistant with proper cleaning and care protocols, and are exceptionally precise and comfortable for the patient.
How many hours a day should I wear the aligners?
For the treatment to be effective and meet the planned deadlines, you must wear the aligners for a minimum of 22 hours a dayYou should only remove them to eat, drink hot or coloured liquids, and to brush your teeth.
Does invisible orthodontic treatment hurt?
It doesn't hurt. It's completely normal to feel a slight pressure or tightness in your teeth for the first day or two each time you switch to a new set of aligners. This is a good sign that the system is working and moving your teeth.
Can I drink or smoke with aligners in?
You can drink cold or room-temperature water without any problems. However, you must remove your aligners to consume hot drinks (which can deform the plastic) or drinks with colourants (like coffee, tea, or wine) that could stain them. Smoking with them in is strongly discouraged, as tobacco will quickly yellow the aligners, losing their aesthetic advantage.
What is the price of invisible orthodontics in Las Palmas?
The price varies depending on the complexity of each case (whether it is a mild, moderate, or complex treatment) and its duration. At Clínica Dental Nubis Dental (Guanarteme – Mesa y López area) we offer you a free initial assessment to study your case and give you a fixed quote, in addition to having financing facilities tailored to you.
