Clear aligner treatment offers them an aesthetic and comfortable alternative.<\/p>\n<h2>What is clear aligner treatment?<\/h2>\n<p>Clear aligners are thin, transparent orthodontic appliances made specifically for each patient&#8217;s mouth. Treatment consists of a series of aligners. Each aligner moves the teeth a small step towards the planned position, and patients usually switch to the next aligner every 1\u20132 weeks.<\/p>\n<h2>How is treatment planned?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Examination and records:<\/strong> The orthodontist examines your mouth; the necessary X-rays and photographs are taken.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Digital scan:<\/strong> Impressions are taken digitally with an intraoral scanner.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Treatment plan:<\/strong> Tooth movements are planned step by step on the computer, and you can see the predicted result before treatment begins.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check-ups:<\/strong> You attend regular check-ups throughout treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Who is it suitable for?<\/h2>\n<p>Mild to moderate crowding, gaps between teeth and some bite problems can be treated with clear aligners. More severe skeletal problems may require different or additional treatment. Only an orthodontic examination can determine which method is right for you.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips for successful treatment<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Aligners should be worn <strong>20\u201322 hours a day<\/strong> and removed only for eating and brushing.<\/li>\n<li>Brush your teeth before putting the aligners back in, and clean the aligners regularly.<\/li>\n<li>It is recommended to drink only water while wearing aligners.<\/li>\n<li>After treatment, a retainer must be worn to keep the teeth in their new position.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How long does treatment take?<\/h2>\n<p>Duration depends on the complexity of the case and how consistently the aligners are worn; it can range from a few months to two years. The exact duration is determined once the treatment plan has been prepared.<\/p>\n<p>To find out whether clear aligner treatment is right for you, book an appointment with our orthodontist.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article is for information only; please consult your dentist for diagnosis and treatment.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top:28px;padding:22px 24px;background:#e8f6fc;border-radius:16px\"><strong style=\"color:#0b3954\">Ada Oral &amp; Dental Health Clinic<\/strong><br \/>Bak\u0131rk\u00f6y: <a href=\"tel:+902122030232\">+90 212 203 02 32<\/a> \u00b7 Beylikd\u00fcz\u00fc: <a href=\"tel:+902126422505\">+90 212 642 25 05<\/a><br \/><a href=\"\/en\/book-an-appointment\/\">Book an appointment online \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is it possible to straighten teeth without wires and brackets?
