Invisalign Orthodontics Without Braces

Invisalign treatment has been included in the orthodontic treatment options in recent years and its popularity among the orthodontic treatments is increasing day by day.

Invisalign is the process of straightening the crowded teeth with a series of transparent plates which are customized and surrounds the teeth. No wire and brace are used in Invisalign treatment.

The main reason why Invisalign treatment is so preferred is that no wire and brace are applied to the teeth as in the classical treatments, and thus, a more effective oral hygiene can be provided during the treatment and the visual problems created by the wires and braces are eliminated. In Invisalign treatment, the patients may continue to smile comfortably without any restrictions in their social lives as compared to the classical orthodontic treatments.

Although we obtained results in simple orthodontic treatments previously with Invisalign treatment, we can achieve successful results in the complicated cases with the development of technology.

Invisalign treatment can be easily applied to children in the growth and development period, adolescents and adult individuals.

In the invisalign treatment, the patient's intraoral records are taken and sent to the invisalign company digitally. A model is created by drawing the treatment chart on the computer and a customized treatment plan is prepared.

The improvement in the teeth starting from the first day of the treatment by changing new plates which apply different forces bi-weekly may be noticed by the patients and their surroundings.

In the first few days after the application of the transparent plates, a slight pressure and sensitivity are felt, but no pain is observed.

The plates should be removed while eating and should be worn at all times except for these periods. Removing plates will be beneficial for hygiene during the consumption of liquids other than water.

Invisalign plates do not affect speech. When the first plate is applied, an adaptation period of 3-4 days is sufficient to get used to the contact with the tongue.
