İnvisalign Treatment
Dental health is an integral part of overall health, and properly aligned teeth are of great importance both aesthetically and functionally. Proper alignment of the teeth can be achieved with traditional metal braces, as well as with these plates, which are popular today. Transparent aligners attract great attention, especially among adults, because they offer an effective treatment while minimizing aesthetic concerns.
Proper alignment of teeth not only enhances the beauty of your smile, but also significantly affects oral health. Properly aligned teeth make cleaning easier and help prevent cavities and gum disease. Proper contact of the teeth with each other optimizes chewing function and prevents jaw joint problems.
Traditional metal braces have been used as a standard solution for teeth alignment for many years. Metal brackets and wires apply force to move the teeth into the desired position. However, the visibility and discomfort of metal wires have led many adults to shy away from this treatment method. This is where these plaques come into play.
What is Transparent Plaque?
Clear aligners are thin, transparent and removable devices designed to align your teeth. These aligners gently move your teeth into the desired position. One of the biggest advantages of these aligners is that they are virtually invisible. This is a great advantage, especially for adults who care about their appearance in their social and professional lives. Additionally, since these aligners are removable, you can easily remove them while eating or brushing your teeth, making your daily life more comfortable.
Clear aligner treatment progresses step by step through individually designed aligners. Each set of aligners is designed to gently move your teeth and is usually worn for two weeks. Then it’s on to the next set of records. This process continues according to the treatment plan determined by your dentist and usually lasts between 6 and 18 months.
How Clear Aligners Work
These plates are produced specifically for the individual and allow the teeth to gradually move to the desired position. The dentist or orthodontist takes a digital scan of the patient’s teeth before starting treatment. This scan is used to determine the current position of the teeth and the desired final position. Based on the scan results, plates are produced to suit the patient’s needs.
Each set of aligners is designed to move teeth a certain amount. Patients wear these aligners for about two weeks and then move on to the next set. This process continues until the desired tooth alignment is achieved. Each new set of aligners moves the teeth a little further forward or backward, up or down, ensuring continued progress in the treatment process. Plaques move the teeth slowly and in a controlled manner, which makes the treatment process more comfortable.
One of the advantages of clear aligners is that they are almost invisible. This is a great advantage, especially for adult patients, because it minimizes aesthetic concerns during the treatment process. Aligners are usually made of clear and durable materials such as polycarbonate, making them virtually unnoticeable.
Since these aligners are removable, it is possible to remove them during daily activities such as eating, brushing and flossing. This ensures that oral hygiene is maintained and there are no food restrictions. However, it should not be forgotten that the aligners must be worn for at least 20-22 hours a day to be effective.
Advantages of Transparent Records
- Aesthetic Appearance: Transparent aligners are preferred by people with aesthetic concerns because they are almost invisible. It can be used easily in daily life and does not cause any discomfort in social situations.
- Comfort: Unlike metal braces, transparent aligners have a smooth surface and do not cause irritation in the mouth. Additionally, they are removable, providing comfort while eating or brushing your teeth.
- Hygiene: Since transparent aligners are removable, it is easier to maintain oral hygiene. Teeth and gums can be easily cleaned, preventing plaque buildup and tooth decay.
- No Food Restrictions: Metal braces can make it difficult to consume certain foods. However, since transparent aligners can be removed, all kinds of food can be consumed easily.
- Treatment Time: In some cases, clear plate treatment can provide results in a shorter time than metal braces. This may vary depending on the movement of the teeth and the treatment plan.
Transparent Record Prices
The length of the treatment process is one of the main factors affecting the cost of clear aligners. The current condition of the teeth and the time required to reach the desired final position play an important role in determining the cost of treatment. While a few months of treatment may be sufficient for some patients, in more complex cases the treatment period may extend up to a year.
The technology and materials used in the production of records can also have an impact on cost. Transparent aligners are produced from high quality and durable materials. These materials make the plaques almost invisible and provide a comfortable experience during the treatment. Additionally, custom-designed and produced plaques are another factor that increases the effectiveness of the treatment.
