What is Invisalign Treatment?
Invisalign treatment is a digital orthodontic method that allows you to straighten your teeth without braces. Instead of fixed brackets and wires, your teeth are brought to the desired position with custom-made transparent plates. This method offers both aesthetic comfort and facilitates dental care.
How is Invisalign Treatment Applied?
First, the specialist orthodontist evaluates whether you are suitable for Invisalign treatment. If you are suitable, impressions of your teeth are taken and the aligners are prepared accordingly. The treatment process varies between 6 months and 18 months depending on your tooth structure. The teeth are gradually straightened by changing the aligners every 2-3 weeks. A minimum of 18 hours of daily wear is recommended so that the treatment process proceeds efficiently.
What are the Advantages of Invisalign Treatment?
The biggest advantage of Invisalign treatment is the absence of brackets and wires. The aligners can be easily removed while eating, which provides maximum comfort both during eating and during teeth cleaning. Aesthetic concerns caused by metal brackets in conventional orthodontic treatments are eliminated in Invisalign. The clear aligners are virtually invisible, making you feel more comfortable in social situations.
The treatment is completed in 10-30 aligner changes depending on the condition of your teeth and takes about the same amount of time as traditional orthodontics.
