Invisalign Technique
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment method used for the correction and alignment of teeth. Invisalign enables the movement of teeth using transparent and specially designed trays (aligners). This technique is a more aesthetic and comfortable option compared to traditional braces or brackets.
Invisalign treatment usually includes the following steps:
Examination and planning: After an examination by an orthodontist or Invisalign-authorised dentist, you will be assessed to see if you are suitable for teeth straightening and alignment. Depending on your needs and goals, Invisalign treatment may be recommended to you.
Digital scanning or impression taking: Measurements are taken by the dentist using an intraoral scanner or traditional impressions to create a digital model of your teeth and jaw. This digital model is used to create the treatment plan.
Creation of the treatment plan: The dentist simulates the movement of the teeth on your digital model and creates a treatment plan showing the targeted results. This plan includes the production of a series of aligners (trays) that show how the teeth will move at which stages.
Production of aligners: Specially designed aligners are manufactured in the laboratory in accordance with the treatment plan. Each aligner is designed to allow the teeth to move through a specific stage.
Use of aligners: The manufactured aligners are delivered to you and it is recommended to wear them for 20-22 hours a day for a certain period of time. The aligners are replaced every 1-2 weeks and allow the teeth to gradually align. Since the aligners are removable, they can be easily used in your daily activities such as eating and brushing your teeth.
Follow-up check-ups: During Invisalign treatment, you will need to go for follow-up check-ups at regular intervals. During these check-ups, the progress of your teeth will be evaluated and, if necessary, your aligners will be changed or the treatment plan will be adjusted.
Invisalign is an effective treatment option for individuals with mild to moderate teeth straightening needs. Treatment duration and results may vary depending on your individual situation.
