What is Invisalign (Transparent Plate)?
Invisalign treatment (transparent aligner treatment ) is a system that provides orthodontic treatment without braces thanks to custom-made transparent aligners.
In this way, the crowding in your teeth is corrected day by day without realizing that you are receiving orthodontic treatment.
How Can I Start Invisalign Treatment?
First of all, as a result of your orthodontist’s examination, other necessary dental procedures (filling, scaling, etc.) should be performed.
Then a 3D digital scan (CAD-CAM system) and/or impressions of your teeth are taken.
Your records are sent to the center in America and your treatment simulation is prepared.

Your aligners arrive at the clinic until your 2nd session (average 4-6 weeks).
How do teeth move with transparent aligners?
Your tooth positions are transferred to the computer environment and your aligners are produced in the simulation prepared so that there is approximately 1 mm tooth movement every month.
Each aligner is worn for 15 days.
In this way, the teeth move thanks to each aligner.
