Orthodontic Treatment with Transparent Plates
It is an aesthetic and comfortable orthodontic treatment option offered to patients who want to smile with their natural teeth. In this treatment, tooth movements are achieved by using specially prepared plates instead of braces.
How is clear plaque treatment applied?
In the individually planned treatment, first digital images of the teeth are taken with 3D intraoral scanners. A treatment plan is prepared in the digital environment with the images obtained. Before starting the treatment, you will be informed about the treatment process, how many plates will be used and how your teeth will look after the treatment. Approximately 3 weeks after approving the treatment plan, patients receive their plates and the treatment process begins.
Advantages of Transparent Plaque Treatment:
Clear aligner treatments offer many advantages to patients compared to traditional braces treatments.
- It is not noticeable thanks to its transparency,
- No eating and drinking restrictions,
- Low frequency of treatment checks and
- The shorter treatment process compared to braces treatment is one of its biggest advantages. In addition, patients have a more comfortable treatment process, as situations such as ingrown wires and intra-oral wounds, which are encountered in braces treatment, are not encountered in this treatment.
We recommend that custom-made aligners be removed only when eating and used for an average of 20-22 hours a day. Patients can witness the improvement of their teeth step by step by changing their aligners every 10 days. Although the frequency of control is generally 4-6 weeks, we can also see patients at longer intervals (every 2-3 months) and with online controls. Therefore, it is a suitable choice for patients who want to come from out of town or abroad.
