What Is Aligner Treatment?
Aligner treatment is a wireless orthodontic method that uses digital orthodontic technology to straighten your teeth with custom-made clear trays (aligners). Wireless orthodontic treatment (aligners) is preferred because crowded teeth can be corrected with clear trays, without the use of braces.
What Are the Features of Aligner Treatment?
- It does not affect your daily life; it corrects crowded teeth without braces.
- Thanks to the clear trays, it is barely noticeable in the mouth.
- The clear trays can be removed while eating or drinking.
Who Is Aligner Treatment Suitable For?
Aligner treatment offers a modern and aesthetic solution for teeth straightening. This treatment method is suitable for:
- Adults: Suitable for adults who want to straighten their teeth in an aesthetic way.
- Teenagers: An ideal option for teenagers who want their teeth corrected at a young age.
- Those Who Care About Dental Aesthetics: Suitable for people who want to gain confidence in social life thanks to the invisible appearance.
- Those Who Do Not Want Metal Brackets: Offers an alternative solution for patients who need orthodontic treatment but want to avoid metal brackets.
- Those Who Need Dentist Supervision: A dental examination before treatment is important so that planning can be done according to individual needs.
- Those Who Need Regular Follow-Up: Suitable for those who want a healthier smile through regular check-ups during treatment.
- Those with Crowded Teeth: People with crooked teeth turn to orthodontic treatment for aesthetic concerns and oral health problems, and consider aligners for a healthy smile.
Differences Between Aligners and Braces
Aligners and traditional braces are two popular methods used for orthodontic correction. However, the differences between them are as follows:
- Aesthetic Appearance: Aligners are clear and invisible, which offers an aesthetic advantage. Braces usually consist of metal or ceramic brackets and are more noticeable.
- Portability: Because aligners are removable, they make eating and brushing easier. Braces are fixed and cannot be removed.
- Comfort: Aligners generally cause less discomfort, while braces can cause irritation and friction in the mouth.
- Hygiene: Because aligners are removable, they make it easier to maintain oral hygiene. Braces can trap food and require more care.
- Treatment Duration: Aligner treatment can generally deliver results in a shorter time, although this depends on individual circumstances. Braces may be more effective in more complex cases.
- Treatment Process: Aligners make the patient’s treatment process more flexible, while braces require regular orthodontic check-ups.
Both methods have advantages and disadvantages, so the most suitable
option should be chosen by taking personal needs and the orthodontic condition into account.
Frequently Asked Questions
A 3D digital scan of your mouth is taken before treatment begins. How far your teeth will move at each stage is planned on the computer. Each tray gently pushes the teeth in a specific direction. As you wear the series of trays in order, your teeth reach the planned position.
For treatment to be successful, the aligners need to be worn an average of 20–22 hours a day. It is recommended to remove them only while eating and brushing your teeth.
No, which is why they are also known as “invisible braces”. Unless someone looks very closely, they are not noticed by others. They do not affect social or professional life.
Yes! There is no “forbidden foods” list as with braces. Because you remove the aligners while eating, you can eat anything you like. You only need to avoid hot and colored drinks (coffee, tea, cola) while the aligners are in your mouth (except plain water), because the aligners can discolor or be deformed by heat.
There may be a slight lisp or adjustment period for the first few days. However, once your tongue adapts to the aligners (usually within 2–3 days), your speech returns completely to normal.
