Invisalign treatment, unlike metal braces treatment, is a form of treatment that uses clear (transparent) aligners to move the teeth to their healthiest and most appropriate positions. Although the working principle is the same as metal braces, unlike metal braces, Invisalign treatment is designed to be difficult to see with the naked eye. Invisalign treatment offers a more aesthetic solution for patients who are uncomfortable with the bad appearance of metal.

In Invisalign treatment, the mouth, jaw structure, and teeth are recorded with a 3D imaging device by the orthodontist and transferred to the Invisalign program. Through this program, it is calculated very accurately, how the teeth should move with Invisalign treatment, what alignments should be made, to what position the teeth should be pulled, how many clear aligners, and in what period of time. Based on these calculations, it is determined how many days you should wear an aligner and move on to the next aligner.
You can only remove your Invisalign when eating or consuming something hot. Apart from this, you should not remove your aligners during the treatment process at all. As a minimum, it is recommended that you wear your aligners 23 hours a day. You must wear your clear aligners constantly as if you do not wear your aligner at certain intervals, it will affect the entire treatment process and calculations.
All of your clear aligners will be delivered to you during your appointment, every detail will be explained and any question that might come to your mind will be answered. Each aligner will be delivered to you packaged and will be in a certain order and numbering process. This will prevent any confusion from occurring.
Why Is Invisalign Treatment Different From Other Orthodontic Treatments?
Metal braces are attached to the teeth during the treatment and are not removed until the treatment is completed. In Invisalign treatment, clear aligners are removed while eating something and should be used for 22-23 hours a day on average. Although both treatments are very effective, Invisalign treatment is very effective in overcrowded and misaligned mouth structures, while Metal Braces treatment is more effective in more severe cases. From an aesthetic point of view, Invisalign treatment is not obvious from the outside, while Metal Braces treatment is very obvious and can create a lack of self-confidence in patients who use it. Invisalign treatment gives fast results due to its structure, but Metal Braces results a little slower. As a result, although both treatments help you achieve the desired results, Invisalign treatment is preferred when aesthetic reasons and treatment time are considered.
