How Is the Transparent Aligner Treatment Performed?
After your dentist has decided that you are suitable for treatment with transparent aligners, s/he will first measure your lower and upper jaw. X-rays will be taken to examine your mouth and jaw structure in detail. After these steps, the transparent aligners will be made according to the measurements taken. Your dentist will fit your first plates. After that, you can change your aligner yourself.
Transparent aligners move the teeth just like other orthodontic treatments. For this reason, it is normal for patients to experience some discomfort and slight pain in their teeth during the first application.
To achieve effective results from aligner treatment, aligners should be worn an average of 22 hours daily. It is okay to take the aligner out for a few hours to eat, drink, or on special occasions. However, the chance of achieving a positive result is very low if the treatment is not worn regularly and for a long enough time. If you cannot wear the aligners for 18-22 hours every day, transparent aligner treatment is not suitable for you.
Transparent aligners can be applied from children to adults. Although the duration of treatment varies from person to person, it is 1 to 1.5 years. In very mild cases, this period may be reduced to less than one year, and in more severe cases, it may extend up to 2 years. During the treatment, you should visit your dentist once a month to check the treatment progress. This period may extend to two months towards the end of treatment. If you are out of town for a more extended period, you can healthily continue the treatment by changing the aligners regularly.
