Clear aligners fix crowding, spacing, and bite without metal braces — attractive to image-conscious Kiwi professionals. Dental tourism fits selectively.

Good tourism candidates

  • Mild crowding before a smile makeover
  • Relapse cases after teenage braces
  • Patients who can commit to 22 hrs/day wear remotely

Poor tourism candidates

  • Complex surgical orthodontics
  • Cases needing monthly in-chair adjustments with no remote support plan
  • Patients who will not wear aligners consistently

Typical workflow

  1. Scan + photos in Vietnam (or submit from NZ if accepted)
  2. ClinCheck plan approval online
  3. Deliver starter aligner sets
  4. Wear in New Zealand — virtual reviews
  5. Refinement trays shipped if needed
  6. Finish — then veneers if desired

Cost compare

NZ comprehensive Invisalign: NZD 6,000–9,000+. Vietnam may save 30–50% on fees — flights erode savings on mild cases.
