Orthodontic Treatment with Clear Aligners (Invisalign)

Orthodontic Treatment with Clear Aligners (Invisalign)

Orthodontic treatment with clear aligners is a modern orthodontic method that enables the correction of dental crowding and bite disorders in an aesthetic and comfortable way. The Invisalign system allows the teeth to be moved in a controlled manner through custom-made clear aligners. The absence of brackets and wires during treatment is a significant advantage that reduces aesthetic concerns.

What is orthodontic treatment with clear aligners?

Clear aligner treatment is based on replacing aligners prepared through digital impressions and three-dimensional planning at specific intervals. Each aligner guides the teeth to the next stage. While the aligners are worn, they are difficult to notice from the outside and do not negatively affect daily life comfort.

In which cases is Invisalign applied?

It is applied in mild to moderate dental crowding, spacing between teeth, and certain bite disorders. It is an ideal option for adult and young patients with high aesthetic concerns. The suitability of the case is determined based on the evaluation performed by the orthodontist.

Things to Consider Before Clear Aligner Treatment

Before treatment, a detailed orthodontic examination, digital impressions, and radiographic evaluation should be performed. If there are dental caries or gum problems, they should be treated first. It is important to inform the patient about the regular use of the aligners.

Things to Consider After Clear Aligner Treatment

The aligners should be worn for an average of 20–22 hours per day. They should be removed during meals and beverage consumption, and after eating, the teeth should be brushed before reinserting the aligners. Proper care of the aligners and adherence to follow-up appointments directly affect the success of the treatment.
