Aligner Treatment

What is an Aligner (Clear Aligner)?

Among today's rapidly developing dental treatment methods, aligners are one of the most popular options offering aesthetic and functional solutions. Aligner treatment is a treatment method that uses transparent, custom-made orthodontic aligners as an alternative to traditional braces. These transparent aligners, used to straighten and align your teeth, eliminate aesthetic concerns thanks to their invisible nature.

Aligner treatment is not only an aesthetic solution, but also an approach that aims to improve the quality of life of patients during the treatment process. While straightening your teeth, it offers you a more comfortable process with minimal impact on your daily life.

Benefits of Aligner Treatment

1. Transparent and Invisible Plates

One of the biggest advantages of aligner treatment is the use of completely transparent plates, unlike braces. These plates are almost invisible throughout the treatment period, making them an excellent solution for individuals with aesthetic concerns.

2. Comfort and Convenience

Aligner aligners do not cause pain or damage your gums like metal braces. They cause less discomfort than other orthodontic treatment options and do not negatively impact your daily life.

3. Easy to Remove

Aligner aligners can be easily removed while eating or brushing your teeth. This is a significant advantage in terms of hygiene, as you can remove the aligners and brush your teeth comfortably.

4. Aesthetic Appearance During Treatment

Aligner treatment ensures that your teeth remain aesthetically pleasing while they are being straightened. It is almost impossible to see the treatment process from the outside.

5. Short Treatment Time

Aligner treatment can produce results in a shorter time than traditional braces. However, the treatment duration may vary depending on each individual's teeth structure and treatment plan.

How is Aligner Treatment Applied?

1. Initial Examination

The first step to starting aligner treatment is to have an examination by your orthodontist. Your orthodontist will evaluate your teeth structure and current problem and offer you the most suitable treatment plan. At this stage, a digital 3D scan may be performed.

2. 3D Digital Scan and Treatment Plan

In aligner treatment, digital 3D scanning technology is used instead of traditional dental impressions. This technology creates a digital model of your teeth and allows you to plan every stage of the treatment process in detail. The 3D model can also show you what your smile will look like at the end of the treatment process.

3. Customised Aligners

Once your treatment plan is created, customised aligners are prepared. These aligners initiate the treatment process by gently moving your teeth. Each aligner is worn for approximately 1-2 weeks, and treatment continues with a new aligner over time.

4. Regular Follow-ups

It is important to have regular check-ups with your orthodontist throughout the treatment period. During these appointments, you can see how your teeth are progressing and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

Duration of Aligner Treatment

The duration of aligner treatment may vary depending on your individual teeth structure. Generally, the treatment period ranges from 6 to 18 months. The duration of treatment varies depending on the speed at which your teeth move and the treatment plan. Regular check-ups and aligner changes will be carried out throughout the treatment period.

Who is It Suitable For?

Aligner treatment is suitable for most adults and teenagers. However, it is important to have your teeth and jaw structure assessed by your orthodontist before starting treatment. Aligners are mostly suitable for the following conditions:

- Crooked teeth,

- Gaps between teeth,

- Teeth that do not align properly (overbite, underbite, crossbite),

- Irregularities between teeth.

Aligner Prices

The cost of aligner treatment may vary depending on the duration of treatment, the number of teeth being treated, the dentist's experience, and the location of the clinic.

Prices are generally slightly higher than traditional braces, but considering the aesthetic and comfort advantages aligners offer, this difference may be an acceptable option for many patients.
