TREATMENT DETAILS

Clear aligner,
Invisalign.

An orthodontic treatment in which teeth are moved in a controlled manner using sequential clear aligners planned from intraoral scan data instead of brackets and wires.

OVERVIEW

Digitally planned, removable orthodontic aligners.

Clear aligner treatment utilizes intraoral scans, photographs, and necessary radiographs; the aligners execute planned tooth movements step by step.

Invisalign is a brand of clear aligner systems[cite: 11]. Small tooth-colored attachments may be bonded to tooth surfaces as needed; brackets and wires are not used[cite: 11]. Aligners are worn for the daily duration recommended by the dentist, except during eating and cleaning, and are typically changed every one or two weeks according to the planned order; change intervals may vary per case[cite: 11]. While plans lasting approximately nine months to two years exist, the total duration depends on the scope of movements, biological response, and usage compliance[cite: 11]. Manufacturing centers and delivery schedules may vary depending on the system used[cite: 11]. Examination and follow-up are conducted at the Ankara Batıkent clinic[cite: 11].

EVALUATION

How is suitability determined?

Treatment selection is made by evaluating clinical examination, necessary imaging, and personal expectations together.

01
Orthodontic diagnosis
Crowding, spacing, occlusion, and necessary tooth movements are evaluated.
02
Gums and roots

Detailed answers

It is a treatment using removable transparent orthodontic aligners that move teeth in pre-planned small stages.

Clear aligner treatment is an orthodontic approach that moves teeth in a controlled manner using sequential removable aligners. Invisalign is the commercial name for one of these systems. Impressions can be taken with intraoral scanners; photographs and radiographs complete the clinical diagnosis. Brackets and wires are not present, but tooth-colored attachments or elastics may be required. In most cases, aligners are expected to be worn for approximately twenty to twenty-two hours per day. Replacement is mostly planned at one- or two-week intervals; monthly replacement is not valid for every system. Although a schedule ranging between nine months and two years is possible, the exact duration depends on the case and compliance. Treatment requires physician supervision.

It can be evaluated for individuals who have crowding, spacing, or specific bite issues and are capable of complying with aligner wear instructions.
