Transparent plaques are serial removable treatment tools that are produced specifically for the person over the treatment plan designed in a digital environment. It provides high aesthetics and is difficult to notice. Treatment provides more predictable results in digital orthodontic planning. All treatment steps can be seen in advance and shared via online systems. Almost all problems such as crooked teeth, split teeth, crooked teeth or missing teeth can be solved with transparent aligners. 

 

Since the treatment plan is clearly defined with clear plates, the control intervals can be kept long.

The frequency and total duration of control appointments are less in clear aligners. 

 

Transparent plates provide ease of cleaning as well as aesthetic appearance. As in braces treatment, there are no brackets that cause food accumulation on the teeth, only retaining aesthetic filling pieces are placed. The rate of food accumulation after meals is similar to normal teeth and is easily cleaned by brushing. Since there are no protruding parts such as brackets on the teeth, the possibility of irritation and pain is almost absent. Again, there are no risks such as breakage of brackets and disruption of treatment, which are often seen in braces treatment.

 

There is no restriction on eating and drinking in clear plaque treatments. At mealtime, plaque is temporarily removed and nutrients are consumed freely. For drinks, you don't even need to remove the plate most of the time. In scientific studies, gingival disorders and tooth discoloration have been encountered much less frequently in transparent plaques compared to braces treatment. 

 

Transparent plaques do not create any obstacles in social life thanks to their completely invisible structure, allowing you to continue your treatment comfortably on your special days. If desired, a break can be made on special days such as weddings, business dinners, graduations and invitations. Eating and drinking can be provided comfortably without the plates being attached.
