Orthodontic Teatment With Clear Aligners

Wire-free orthodontics (clear aligner treatment) is orthodontic treatment using transparent aligners prepared individually with 3D printers without the use of conventional metal or porcelain wires.

Orthodontic clear aligner treatment, which constitutes one of the best aesthetic treatment alternatives, is performed without any wire appearance.

• They are removable, giving you the chance to take a break from treatment at any time during the day.
• As a side effect of wire treatment, sores may occur on the cheeks and lips due to friction of the metal surfaces. Wound formation during treatment is considered normal. Thanks to the smooth surfaces of the transparent plates, sores and stinging do not occur.
• Oral hygiene is easier and more hygienic as the transparent aligner can be inserted and removed.
• The fact that it has a transparent appearance and is not noticeable from the outside gives an aesthetically more aesthetic appearance.

Metal Braces Treatment

Although metal braces have been replaced by transparent braces in recent years, they are still preferred as a fast and reliable method.

Designed according to the individual's tooth structure, metal braces offer more successful results, especially when applied at a young age.
