Clear Aligners
Invisalign Diamond Provider continuously since 2021, led by Dr. Camila Sampaio
Clear aligner orthodontics with Invisalign is the aesthetic and predictable alternative to metal braces. At Atria Sampaio, our boutique dental clinic in Vitacura, treatment is led by Dr. Camila Sampaio, an Orthodontics Specialist trained at Faculdade São Leopoldo Mandic (Campinas, Brazil) and Invisalign Diamond Provider continuously since 2021, a designation Align Technology reserves for orthodontists with the highest annual volume of certified Invisalign cases worldwide.
The Invisalign system uses a series of custom-made removable aligners crafted from SmartTrack, a patented clear medical-grade plastic that exerts more controlled and consistent forces on teeth. Treatment begins with an iTero 5D intraoral scan, the scanner the Invisalign network recognizes as standard for advanced cases, and is processed with ClinCheck, where Dr. Sampaio designs the full plan: movement sequence, attachment positioning, refinement timing, and a preview of the final result before approving the start of treatment.
The system is suitable for both teens and adults who want to correct their smile without the visual impact or restrictions of metal braces. The aligners are removable, making dental hygiene easy and allowing you to eat without restrictions. Invisalign does not interfere with professional or social life, and eliminates the emergencies of traditional orthodontics: loose brackets, poking wires, dietary restrictions.
Digital planning is at the heart of the protocol. The iTero 5D scan captures every detail of your dentition in minutes, with no silicone impressions. The model is processed with ClinCheck, where every tooth movement, the treatment sequence, and the required attachment points are meticulously planned. You visualize the before and after on screen before approving the start, actively participating in the decisions about your smile.
Who is a candidate for Invisalign? The system covers most alignment issues: mild to severe crowding, gaps between teeth (diastemas), crossbite, open bite, overbite, and dental protrusion. Both teens with permanent dentition and adults of any age can benefit, provided they have good periodontal health. In cases of severe skeletal malocclusions or surgical needs, Dr. Sampaio evaluates combined alternatives. During the first consultation, she defines whether Invisalign is the ideal option for each case.
Clinically, most patients adapt to the aligners within the first 48 hours. It is normal to feel slight pressure when starting each new set, a sign that the teeth are moving, but this sensation is significantly less than traditional bracket adjustments. Check-ups happen every 6 to 8 weeks, which translates into fewer clinic visits compared to conventional orthodontics.
The Invisalign Diamond Provider status Dr. Sampaio has held since 2021 reflects a yearly volume of certified cases that places Atria Sampaio among the most active clear aligner practices worldwide. That volume, combined with international academic training and the iTero 5D and ClinCheck digital workflow, is what allows us to plan complex Invisalign cases with the same predictability as straightforward ones.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Duration varies depending on the complexity of the case. Mild cases can be completed in 6 months, while more complex cases may require 12 to 18 months. We will give you a precise estimate at your first consultation based on the ClinCheck digital simulation.
Does Invisalign work for complex cases?
Yes. Recent advances in Invisalign technology, including SmartTrack material and precision attachments, allow us to treat a wide range of malocclusions: severe crowding, open bite, overbite, crossbite, and gaps between teeth.
How many hours a day should I wear the aligners?
For the best results, aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink hot or colored beverages, and for oral hygiene.
Are there age restrictions for Invisalign?
There is no upper age limit. Invisalign is available for teens (Invisalign Teen, with compliance indicators) and adults of all ages. The key requirement is good periodontal health.
Is Invisalign painful?
No. It is normal to feel slight pressure when starting each new set of aligners, which indicates that your teeth are moving. This sensation is significantly less than traditional bracket adjustments and fades within 24 to 48 hours.
Can I see the final result before starting?
Yes, that is one of Invisalign's greatest advantages. With ClinCheck software, we create a complete 3D simulation of your treatment, showing you the final result and every stage of dental movement before you approve the start.
What does Invisalign Diamond Provider mean and why does it matter?
Invisalign Diamond Provider is the recognition Align Technology gives to orthodontists with the highest annual volume of certified Invisalign cases worldwide. Dr. Camila Sampaio has held this designation continuously since 2021. The volume translates into proven clinical experience in complex cases, mastery of the ClinCheck software, accurate reading of which movements are realistic, and speed when iterating refinements.
Why iTero 5D and not another intraoral scanner?
iTero is the intraoral scanner developed by Align Technology, the maker of Invisalign. Integration with ClinCheck is native, which lets us send the scan directly to the planning software with no loss of accuracy, simulate the final result on the day of the first consultation, and detect interproximal caries, gingival recession, or occlusal wear early through NIRI and the diagnostic modules built into the device.
Do I need retainers after treatment?
Yes. As with any orthodontic treatment, retainers are essential for maintaining results long-term. We offer both fixed and removable retainers depending on each patient's needs.
