Dr Tony Dentalan Invisalign-focused clinic in Ho Chi Minh City

Clinical classification and treatment direction

At Dr Tony Dental every malocclusion — protrusion, underbite and reverse bite, through to cases that need a second intervention — is taken on and worked up in full. What follows is the basic clinical direction: the groundwork the doctor builds on to design a pathway specific to you, aimed at what is actually driving your case.

Clear aligners are the optimal tool for moving teeth, but they do not change jaw structure in cases of severe skeletal discrepancy. On a principle of clinical integrity, Dr Tony Dental prescribes an interdisciplinary protocol — orthodontics combined with surgery — for this clinical group, so the cause itself is addressed and treatment works toward the aesthetic result the plan sets out.

Questions about the clinic

These are the general questions we get about Dr Tony Dental. Message the clinic any time for one-to-one advice, or read up on a particular treatment on its own service page.

01Where is Dr Tony Dental, and how long has the clinic been open?

We are at 36-38 Ton That Tung, Ben Thanh Ward — in the central District 1 area. The clinic opened in September 2019 and has stayed at this one address ever since, with no other branches. If you see it listed as 36-38 Ton That Tung, Pham Ngu Lao Ward, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, that is still us — the ward was merged into Ben Thanh; we have not moved. Keeping the team and the equipment together in one place is how we look after patients properly.

02What does Invisalign Black Diamond Provider mean?

It is a certification from Invisalign (USA). The ranking is based purely on the number of cases a clinician has actually treated. Put simply, the title is the result of the thousands of aligner cases we have completed — not an award anyone can buy. It says something about how much handling of aligners the clinician has behind them.

03Do you take complex cases, or cases that went wrong at another clinic?

Yes. We take protrusion, underbite, reverse bite, open bite and deep bite. And if you were treated elsewhere and are unhappy with the result, or are stuck mid-treatment, we examine you again from scratch and build a completely new plan to put it right — rather than patching over the old one.

04Who personally plans my treatment?

Dr Ho Le Bao An, the Medical Director, personally maps out how each tooth will move and signs the plan off before any aligner is manufactured. At your review appointments, clinicians on the team follow your progress under his guidance, and every adjustment made during treatment is his call.

05Does the clinic do anything besides Invisalign?

Straightening alone is sometimes not enough for the smile you want, so we also do porcelain veneers, implants and whitening. Because it all happens under one roof, your dentist can map out every step from day one through to the day the last aligner comes off — no running between clinics.

06Do the doctors and staff speak English?

Yes. Our Medical Director and the clinical team communicate fluently in English. You can comfortably discuss your concerns, ask questions, and fully understand your treatment plan without any language barrier.

07I am only in Ho Chi Minh City for a short time. Can I start Invisalign here?

Yes. Your first visit for a consultation and 3D scan takes only about 45–60 minutes. Once your custom aligners are produced, we will guide you on how to wear them. If you are returning to your home country, you can take the aligner sets with you, and our doctor will monitor your progress remotely online.

08Are there different prices for tourists or hidden fees?

No. We have one transparent price list for everyone — locals and foreigners alike. You will know the exact total cost of your treatment before we begin, with absolutely no hidden fees.

09What happens if I need help while wearing aligners in my home country?

We design your bespoke treatment plan very carefully to minimize the need for mid-treatment clinical visits. For routine check-ins or minor questions, our doctor will support you directly online. However, please note that any major clinical adjustments will require a visit to our clinic in Ho Chi Minh City.
