Invisalign and Clear Aligners in Hoi An: Cost & Treatment Guide 2026
How clear aligners (niềng răng trong suốt) work, what they can and cannot fix, the challenges of treatment from overseas, and how to ask a clinic about them.
Clear aligners (niềng răng trong suốt) straighten teeth with a series of removable transparent trays instead of brackets and wires. Treatment lasts months, which is the main challenge for anyone travelling for it.
SmileJet lists one dental clinic in Hoi An: An Tam Smile (Nha khoa thẩm mỹ An Tâm Smile), at 536 Hai Ba Trung. It is about 1.2 km north of the old-town centre, on the road towards Tan An and An Bang beach, not inside the old town. An Tam Smile is a featured partner on SmileJet, which is a commercial listing relationship and not a clinical endorsement.
Invisalign and other clear aligners is not on An Tam Smile's page, so it is unconfirmed there; ask SmileJet whether An Tam Smile does this. In Da Nang, Picasso Dental Clinic lists it among its treatments.
Picasso says its list includes both braces and Invisalign.
How clear aligners work
Each tray is made from clear plastic to fit your teeth and moves them a little towards the planned position. You wear each set for a set period, usually most of the day and night, then move to the next. Trays come out for eating, brushing and flossing. A retainer is needed afterwards to stop the teeth moving back.
Brand options
Invisalign is a widely known aligner brand; other brands and locally made aligners also exist. Which systems An Tam Smile or Picasso use for your case is something to ask. Ask which brand your quote names and what it includes.
What clear aligners can and cannot fix
Often suitable
- Mild to moderate crowding.
- Spacing and small gaps.
- Some bite problems.
- Teeth that have moved back after earlier braces.
Often less suitable
- Severe crowding needing extractions.
- Major jaw problems that need surgery.
- Some complex tooth movements, where fixed braces may work better.
Only an orthodontic assessment can tell you which applies.
The international patient workflow
This is a general outline, not a description of any clinic's process.
- Examination, X-rays, photos and a digital scan.
- A treatment plan showing the planned tooth movement.
- The aligners are made, and attachments may be bonded to some teeth.
- Progress checks during treatment, and possibly extra "refinement" trays.
- A retainer at the end.
Ask the clinic how many visits are needed in person and how progress is checked once you are home.
Cost
An Tam Smile does not publish a price list, and SmileJet has no sourced aligner price for Hoi An. Compare any quote with a written quote from your own dentist or orthodontist for the same plan.
For An Tam Smile's price for your own case, message SmileJet on WhatsApp or Messenger and we will ask the clinic for a written quote in Vietnamese dong. Prices are indicative; only a written quote for your own case applies to you.
Combining aligners with other dental work
- Aligners and whitening: teeth whitening (tẩy trắng răng) is on An Tam Smile's page.
- Aligners and veneers: straightening first can mean less tooth is removed for veneers (dán sứ veneer).
- Aligners and cleaning: scaling (cạo vôi răng) before a scan is common.
What to ask before starting
- Which aligner brand will you use?
- Are refinement trays included if teeth do not move as planned?
- How will progress be checked while I am overseas?
- Is the retainer included, and how long must I wear it?
- How are new trays delivered if I am at home?
- What happens if I lose or break a tray?
- Who is the treating dentist, and what is their licence?
Common challenges for international patients
- Delivery: if trays are sent to you, allow time so you do not run out.
- Refinements: some cases need extra trays; ask whether they are included.
- Problems at home: arrange in advance who you would see locally if something goes wrong.
The clinics SmileJet lists
An Tam Smile, Hoi An
SmileJet has collected 552 Google reviews from the clinic's Google listing, with a 4.8 rating shown. They are Google reviews, not reviews of treatment booked through SmileJet; no patient has reviewed the clinic on SmileJet yet.
No dentist is named anywhere SmileJet can read, and the dentist count, equipment, crown materials and implant brands are not published. Ask the clinic for the treating dentist's name and licence, and ask which material or implant system your quote names. SmileJet has not seen its licence documents; ask the clinic for them if they matter to you.
SmileJet books An Tam Smile in English and handles the conversation on WhatsApp or Messenger, passing your questions, photos and X-rays to the clinic, at no charge to you. Whether any dentist or staff member speaks English is not published. Opening hours are not published either, so confirm a time with SmileJet. If you would prefer a female dentist, tell SmileJet when booking and we can ask the clinic to arrange one.
Picasso Dental Clinic, Da Nang
For a Da Nang comparison, Picasso Dental Clinic at 222 Phan Chu Trinh publishes its prices in Vietnamese dong. It is also a featured partner on SmileJet. Da Nang is about 30 km north of Hoi An. The one clear difference between the two: Picasso publishes prices and An Tam Smile does not.

An Tam Smile does not publish a price list. Message SmileJet on WhatsApp or Messenger and we will ask for a written quote.
Can I start aligners at home and finish in Vietnam?
