Digital Scan and Examination
A 3D digital scan is taken with intraoral cameras and the bite relationship is analyzed.
TRWhatsAppTREATMENTS
Clear Aligner
Treatment
Get the smile you want without traditional metal wires, using custom-made clear aligners. Barely noticeable from the outside, aligners correct tooth misalignment without limiting your daily life or social comfort.
WHAT IS IT?
What is Clear Aligner Treatment?
Clear aligner treatment is a wire-free orthodontic method carried out using computer-aided 3D design and manufacturing technology (CAD/CAM). Millimetric tooth movements are planned in advance on digital scans taken from inside the mouth. Each aligner is designed to shift the teeth step by step toward their ideal position.
ADVANTAGES
What are the advantages of this treatment?
- Excellent Aesthetics: Thanks to its transparent structure, it is not obvious from the outside that you are undergoing treatment.
- High Comfort: With no wires or brackets, it does not cause sores or irritation on the inside of the cheeks and lips.
- Maximum Hygiene: Easily removable while eating, brushing or flossing.
- Time Savings: Appointment intervals are longer than with traditional wires, making it ideal for patients with a busy schedule.
- See the Result in Advance: Thanks to digital simulation, you can preview your smile at the end of treatment before you even begin.
SITUATIONS IT MAY BE CONSIDERED FOR
In which situations is it considered?
- For mild, moderate and certain advanced levels of dental crowding
- When unwanted gaps (diastema) are present between teeth
- For individuals who do not want a visible wire due to their work, social or academic life
- For patients with a metal or bracket allergy or sensitivity
PROCESS
How does the assessment proceed?
Treatment Planning (Simulation)
The sequence of tooth movements and the number of aligners needed are finalized digitally.
Delivery and Use of Aligners
Your personalized series of aligners is delivered. Aligners need to be worn for an average of 20–22 hours a day.
Periodic Check-ups
Progress is monitored at intervals set by your dentist, typically every 6–8 weeks.
TREATMENT SIMULATIONS
Review the planned movements.
Review the staged movements of different bite problems in clear aligner planning. These simulations are examples; suitability and a personal plan are determined only after a clinical exam.
Overbite
Overbite
Follow the planned change in the upper front teeth’s bite relationship from the start through to the final stage.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
No, aligners should be removed while eating and drinking hot beverages. Room-temperature water can be drunk while wearing them.
A slight difference may be felt for the first 1–2 days as your tongue gets used to the aligners; speech then returns fully to normal.
Depending on the complexity of the case, treatment time typically ranges from 6 to 18 months.
