What is Invisalign Treatment?
Invisalign treatment offers an aesthetic and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. This modern orthodontic approach straightens teeth using clear, removable aligners (aligners). This treatment is carried out by orthodontists who have completed dental training and are trained in Invisalign technology.
Advantages of Invisalign
Invisalign treatment is a highly aesthetic option due to the use of transparent aligners. These aligners are almost invisible, which allows patients to feel less discomfort in their daily lives. In addition, their removability offers great convenience in eating and oral hygiene routines. One of the most important advantages of Invisalign is that the results can be planned digitally at the beginning of treatment. Thanks to the intraoral measurements taken digitally before starting treatment, patients can see the treatment results on the computer screen and discuss them with their doctor. This gives patients a realistic expectation of the potential results of the treatment.
Another important advantage is that aligners can be removed on special occasions or during important events such as meetings and weddings. This gives patients more flexibility and comfort at such events. However, the aligners need to be worn for at least 20 hours a day to maintain their effectiveness during the treatment process.
Mechanism of Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign moves teeth into the desired position in a slow and controlled way using specially designed clear plastic aligners. Each aligner moves the teeth a certain amount and is usually replaced with a new set every two weeks. This process can usually take anywhere from a few months to several years, depending on the treatment plan.
Eligibility for Invisalign
Invisalign treatment is suitable for a variety of conditions such as crowded teeth, mild bite problems and gaps between teeth. Invisalign offers effective results with a treatment plan customized according to the patients’ tooth structure and orthodontic needs.
Treatment Duration
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the initial condition of the patient’s teeth and their response to the treatment. The treatment time can often be shorter compared to traditional braces.
Oral Hygiene and Care
It is important to pay attention to oral hygiene during Invisalign treatment. Since the aligners are removable, patients do not need to make any changes to their brushing and flossing routine. However, it is important to take care of the cleanliness of the aligners and wash them regularly.
Before starting Invisalign treatment, a detailed dental and jaw examination is performed. In this examination, the patient's tooth structure and orthodontic needs are evaluated. It is decided whether the patient is suitable for Invisalign treatment.
