Transparent Wire
Clear braces are a type of orthodontic appliance used to straighten and align teeth. It is a more aesthetic option to traditional metal braces because it is made using a transparent or colourless material. These appliances, often referred to as "clear braces", can actually take the form of clear aligners or alignment trays.
The process of using transparent wire usually involves the following steps:
Examination and planning: After an examination by an orthodontist, the need for correction of the teeth and the treatment plan are determined. Depending on your needs and goals, you may be recommended to use clear braces.
Measurement: An impression is taken of the mouth of the person who will wear the clear braces. These impressions are used to create a precise digital model of the teeth and jaw.
Production of special trays: The measurements are sent to the laboratory and the production of specially designed transparent trays begins. Each tray has a special design that allows the teeth to move towards the next alignment stage.
Use of the trays: The produced transparent trays are worn for a certain number of hours a day for a certain period of time (usually 20-22 hours). The trays are replaced at regular intervals, allowing the teeth to gradually align. It is generally recommended to use a new tray every 1-2 weeks.
Follow-up check-ups: While wearing the clear braces, you will need to attend follow-up check-ups with your orthodontist at regular intervals. At these check-ups, the progress of your teeth will be evaluated and the treatment plan will be adjusted if necessary.
Clear braces are often used for orthodontic purposes, such as straightening teeth, closing gaps, aligning teeth, correcting crowding and correcting bite problems. They are popular among adults and adolescents who want an aesthetic appearance because they are less noticeable in the process of teeth straightening.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is transparent wire treatment?
Transparent brace treatment is an orthodontic treatment with almost invisible plastic transparent aligners that are used instead of traditional metal braces in the teeth straightening process. This method aims to bring the teeth into the desired alignment by moving them slightly.
How long does transparent wire treatment give results?
The duration of treatment varies depending on the initial condition of the person's teeth, the need for correction and how suitable they are for the treatment process. On average, it can take 6 to 12 months for simple cases and 12 to 24 months for more complex cases. Your dentist will give you an estimate.
Is transparent wire treatment painful?
Clear wire treatment is generally less uncomfortable than conventional metal wires. However, you may feel a slight pressure or tenderness when new aligners are inserted or aligners are changed. This is temporary and will decrease as the body gets used to the treatment.
