Invisalign

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a system of clear, wearable aligners used for teeth straightening treatment. This system, which replaces traditional braces, is a popular option, especially for people with aesthetic concerns. Invisalign allows teeth to be straightened using specially designed clear aligners.

How does it work?

Examination and Planning: First, a dentist or orthodontist creates a plan for Invisalign treatment by examining and digitally scanning the patient’s teeth.

3D Modeling: Based on the data obtained, the dentist creates a 3D model digitally on the computer. This model shows the steps of the treatment.

Personalized Aligners: On the basis of the digital planning, custom-made clear aligners are prepared for each patient. These aligners allow the teeth to gradually move into the desired position.

Aligner Exchange: Each aligner is usually worn for 1-2 weeks, after which it is replaced with the next aligner. This process helps the teeth to move over time and achieve the targeted correction.

Regular Checkups: During Invisalign treatment, regular check-ups are performed and the plan is revised if necessary. This is important to monitor the progress of the treatment and make adjustments as needed.

What are the Advantages of Invisalign?

  • Invisibility: Because Invisalign aligners are transparent, they are a more aesthetic option than traditional braces.
  • Removability: The aligners are removable, making daily activities like eating, brushing and flossing easier.
  • Comfort: Invisalign aligners generally create less discomfort because there are no sharp edges caused by wires and brackets.
  • Fast Results: In some cases, results can be achieved in less time compared to traditional braces treatments.
  • Digital Technology: 3D digital technology makes the treatment process more predictable and precise.

Who is it suitable for?

Invisalign is generally suitable for cases where mild to moderate teeth straightening is required. However, as every patient is different, it is important to consult a specialist about suitability.

How long does the treatment last?

Invisalign treatment time varies depending on the correction that needs to be made to the person’s teeth and the complexity of the treatment. Generally, it involves a shorter period of time compared to traditional braces treatment.

It is recommended to consult a dentist or orthodontist for more detailed information about Invisalign and to get a treatment plan.

Things to Consider

  • The aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day for a set period of time.
  • The duration of treatment may vary depending on the individual situation.
  • In some cases, it may not be suitable for people with more complex teeth straightening needs.
