For NRIs and visitors
Invisalign for NRIs and short stays
Many of our patients live abroad and come home to Kerala for only a few weeks. You can start Invisalign here, in one short visit, and have your aligners sent to you wherever you live.
How it works
- Your consultation. We scan your teeth with the iTero scanner and show you a preview of your likely result. All of this is done in the same visit and takes about 15 minutes.
- Your decision. Take your time. If you decide to go ahead, Dr. Alka plans your treatment, usually within a few hours, and approves it.
- Your aligners are made. Once the plan is approved, your aligners are manufactured. They usually reach us in about 10 to 15 days.
- Delivery. If you are still in Kerala, we hand them to you at the clinic and show you how to use them. If you have gone back abroad, we send them to you by DHL.
- Check-ins from anywhere. Dr. Alka follows your progress through the official Invisalign app and WhatsApp, so you do not have to travel for every review.
The preview is a projection to help you plan, and individual results vary. Whether treatment can be followed from a distance depends on your teeth, and Dr. Alka will advise you at your consultation.
Delivery abroad
We work with DHL, so we can send your aligners to any country DHL delivers to. Delivery times and any customs requirements depend on your country, so we will tell you what to expect when we send them.
Is this right for you?
- You are home for a few weeks, or visit Kerala once a year
- You want to see your likely result before you commit
- You are comfortable sending a photo update through the Invisalign app or WhatsApp when asked
- You can visit a dentist near you if a problem comes up that needs to be seen in person
Some cases need more regular visits, or other dental treatment first. If Invisalign is not the best choice for your teeth, or if it needs closer follow-up than a short stay allows, we will say so before you start.
Planning your visit
If you know when you are travelling, message us on WhatsApp and we will fix a time for your consultation. Coming in early in your stay gives the most time for planning and for any dental care that needs to be done first. Bring any recent X-rays or dental records if you have them.
Cost and EMI
We give you a clear estimate after your scan, before you decide anything. EMI is available with Bajaj Finserv EMI Network, subject to approval.

What does the consultation include for NRIs?
It includes the iTero scan, a preview of your likely result and time with the doctor. All of this is done in the same visit.
Can I get other dental work done during the same visit?
