Clear aligner treatment is an orthodontic treatment method used to correct and align teeth. This treatment is usually performed using specially designed plastic plates called “clear aligners” or “aligners”. Clear aligner treatment is a more aesthetic and comfortable option that replaces traditional braces.
Here are the main features of clear plaque treatment:
Aligners and Treatment Plan: Before starting treatment, a dentist or orthodontist evaluates the patient’s teeth and jaw structure. This digitally obtained information is converted into a treatment plan using computer technology. According to the treatment plan, a series of clear aligners are produced to straighten the patient’s teeth.
Transparent Plates: Each plate is designed to be used for a certain period of time. Patients usually wear one plate for two weeks and then replace it with the next plate. This process allows the teeth to move into their desired positions over time.
Aesthetics and Comfort: Transparent aligners, as the name suggests, have a transparent and generally unobtrusive appearance. Therefore, they are not as noticeable as traditional metal braces. Additionally, they provide a more comfortable use than metal wires.
Mobility: Since clear aligners are removable, users can remove the aligners while continuing their daily activities, such as eating or brushing their teeth. However, it is important to use the aligners regularly for the specified period of time.
Control Visits: Throughout the treatment process, the dentist or orthodontist organizes regular control visits to evaluate the progress of the teeth and update the treatment plan if necessary.
