Invisalign in Delhi for NRIs from the UK, Australia and UAE

Invisalign clear aligners are removable, transparent trays that move teeth in small steps. At THE CLINICS Green Park, Invisalign cases are led by Dr Neha Garg (prosthodontist, Delhi Dental Council reg. 20981-A) and Dr Amit Garg (periodontist, reg. A-4919), who are registered Invisalign providers.

Because aligners are worn for months and changed in sequence, the main question for patients who live abroad is how reviews will work once you are back home. Your dentist explains this at the first consultation, before you commit.

How Invisalign treatment works

  1. Examination and records: teeth, gums and bite are checked, with X-rays, photographs and a digital (intraoral) scan.

  2. Treatment plan: a planned sequence of tooth movements, with the expected number of aligners and the treatment length, shown to you before you decide.

  3. Gum and tooth health first: decay or gum disease is treated before aligners start.

  4. Wearing the aligners: usually most of the day and night, taken out only to eat, drink anything other than water, and clean your teeth. Each set is changed after a set interval, as your dentist advises.

  5. Reviews and refinements: progress is checked; some plans need extra aligners to finish.

  6. Retainers: after treatment, retainers keep the teeth in their new position. Without them, teeth can move back.

How reviews can work while you live abroad

The review plan depends on your case and is agreed with you at consultation, before treatment starts:

  • First visit in Delhi: examination, X-rays and scan; aligners are made after the plan is approved, so the first fitting may be on a later visit.

  • Between visits: your dentist explains how progress will be checked between your trips, and when in-person reviews are needed.

  • Aligner sets: how many sets are handed over at a time is decided by your dentist for your case.

  • Problems while abroad: if an aligner does not fit, breaks or is lost, WhatsApp us first; your dentist will advise on the next step.

For patients in the UK

  • Getting here: non-stop London–Delhi flights take about 9 to 11 hours, so most patients plan reviews around visits home.

  • Time zone: India is 5 h 30 min ahead in winter (GMT) and 4 h 30 min ahead in British Summer Time; video calls in the Delhi afternoon fall in a UK morning.

  • Local care: keep your UK dentist informed and continue routine check-ups and hygiene visits there.

For patients in Australia

  • Getting here: non-stop flights from Sydney and Melbourne take about 13 hours; from other cities, plan for a connection. Fewer, well-timed in-person reviews matter most here.

  • Time zone: India is 4 h 30 min behind Sydney and Melbourne (5 h 30 min in daylight saving) and 2 h 30 min behind Perth; a Delhi morning slot is an Australian afternoon.

  • Local care: routine check-ups and cleaning with your local dentist while aligners are in progress.

For patients in the UAE

  • Getting here: Dubai or Abu Dhabi to Delhi takes about 3.5 hours, so in-person reviews every few months are practical for many patients.

  • Time zone: India is 1 h 30 min ahead of the UAE; OPD hours are 7:30 am–7:30 pm UAE time, and Saturday clinics fall on the UAE weekend.

  • Local care: routine dental checks in the UAE; WhatsApp us with any fit problem.

Visa and entry

Visa and entry rules are set by the Government of India and can change, so check the official portals before you book flights.

  • Indian passport holders (most NRIs) do not need a visa.

  • OCI cardholders hold a multiple-entry lifelong visa for visiting India, so no separate medical visa is needed.

  • British, Australian and UAE passport holders can apply for an e-Medical visa online, only at indianvisaonline.gov.in. Apply at least 4 days before arrival; applications open up to 120 days ahead. You upload your passport bio page and a letter from the treating hospital in India, on its letterhead, giving your name, nationality, passport number and tentative admission date. Up to two e-Medical Attendant visas can be granted against one e-Medical visa.

  • UAE nationals who have held an Indian e-Visa or regular visa before may be eligible for visa on arrival; check the official portal first.

  • Foreign nationals and OCI cardholders complete the online e-Arrival card within 72 hours before arrival (boi.gov.in, indianvisaonline.gov.in or the Indian Visa Su-Swagatam app).

THE CLINICS can issue a medical visa letter for dental treatment at THE CLINICS Green Park once your plan is made. Visa decisions are made by the Government of India; we cannot promise approval. More detail: International patients.

Things to know before you decide

  • Aligners only work when worn as advised; wearing them less slows or stops tooth movement.

  • Not every bite problem suits aligners. Your dentist explains the options for your teeth at consultation.

  • Small tooth-coloured attachments may be bonded to some teeth to help the aligners grip.

  • Retainers are needed after treatment, usually long term.

What affects the cost

It depends on how much movement is needed, the number of aligners and any treatment needed first. A written estimate is shared after examination and scan. Cosmetic orthodontic treatment is usually not covered by health insurance; check your policy. All major credit cards are accepted.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer Invisalign?

Yes. Dr Neha Garg and Dr Amit Garg are registered Invisalign providers and lead Invisalign (clear aligner) cases at THE CLINICS Green Park.

Can I start Invisalign in Delhi and continue abroad?

Often, yes. Your dentist agrees a review plan with you at consultation, before treatment starts, with in-person reviews timed to your trips home.

How many visits to Delhi does Invisalign need?

At least an initial visit for examination and scan, a fitting visit, and in-person reviews during treatment. The number depends on your case and how far you travel.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

It depends on how much the teeth need to move. Your dentist gives an expected length and number of aligners with the treatment plan, before you decide.

What if an aligner breaks or gets lost while I am abroad?

WhatsApp us (+91 9217381353) with a photo. Your dentist will advise whether to move to the next aligner, go back to the previous one, or arrange a replacement.

Do I need a retainer after Invisalign?

Yes. Retainers keep the teeth in their new position; without them, teeth can move back. Your dentist explains how long to wear them.

How much does Invisalign cost for NRI patients?

A written estimate is shared after examination and scan, because the cost depends on how much movement is needed and the number of aligners.
