Clear aligners: Invisalign – ClearCorrect

Clear Aligners 

In the last two decades, advances in digital technology and new materials have made it possible to develop orthodontic treatment methods using clear (transparent) aligners. The philosophy behind these treatments is different from that of conventional braces. With the help of advanced software programs, clear aligners are created that gradually move the teeth from their initial position to the final one, which has been digitally designed and determined. A prerequisite for successful orthodontic treatment with transparent aligners is their use by the patient for almost the entire 24-hour period, except during meals. Although this technology was developed with the goal of serving adult patients and addressing their needs for aesthetic/”invisible braces,” developments in this field now make these types of orthodontic treatments suitable for a significant portion of patients in the pre-adolescent or even adolescent age group.

We collaborate and use transparent aligners from Invisalign and ClearCorrect.

The benefits of orthodontic treatment with transparent aligners are as follows:

Aesthetic Appeal: Transparent aligners are nearly “invisible,” making them a discreet option for adults and teenagers who want to avoid the visibility of traditional braces.

Easier Oral Hygiene: Since the aligners are removable, it’s easier to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing normally, reducing the risk of permanent stains or cavities on the enamel.

Predictability and Planning: Tooth movements are pre-planned and predictable through digital software, providing the orthodontist with a clear outline for treatment and progress.

Fewer Orthodontic Visits: Treatment with aligners requires fewer visits to the orthodontist compared to traditional braces, making it more convenient and less time-consuming. There are also fewer emergency situations like attachments coming loose.

Convenient for Long-Distance Patients: Patients who live far from their orthodontist or even in another country can undergo treatment at our office without needing frequent visits.

Shorter Treatment Time for Certain Cases: In some specific orthodontic issues, transparent aligners can be more effective than traditional braces, leading to a shorter overall treatment duration.

Suitable for Children and Teenagers: Advances in technology allow the creation of aligners that account for the shedding of baby teeth and the eruption of permanent teeth, making this method appropriate for younger patients as well.

These benefits make transparent aligners an excellent choice for those looking for a more comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, and efficient orthodontic treatment option.
