Clear aligner treatment uses a series of custom-made, removable, transparent trays to gradually move teeth into the desired position.
It is considered a less noticeable alternative for mild to moderate tooth crowding or spacing issues.
Suitability is determined after assessing the tooth and jaw structure with a digital scan.
Suitability for all treatments above is determined after an in-person examination and clinical assessment.
Who Is It Suitable For?
Clear aligner treatment is considered for people with mild-to-moderate tooth crowding or spacing issues who want a less noticeable option than fixed braces.
In more complex cases, a different treatment method may be more suitable; the final decision is made after examination.
How Does It Work?
A 3D digital image of the tooth structure is captured with an intraoral scan, and how the teeth will move to their target position is planned.
Based on this plan, a series of clear aligners are produced and swapped out at regular intervals to gradually move the teeth.
How Is The Treatment Performed?
The tooth structure is recorded with a digital scan and a treatment plan is created.
Aligners matching the plan are manufactured and delivered to the patient.
Aligners are worn for a set number of hours per day and swapped for the next one at regular intervals.
What Should Be Considered Afterward?
A mild pressure sensation may occur when a new aligner is first worn.
Aligners should be worn continuously except when eating and brushing, and cleaned when removed.
Periodic check-ups are used to confirm the treatment is progressing as planned.

Why isn't pricing listed on the website?
Turkey's Ministry of Health advertising regulations prohibit healthcare providers from advertising prices or promotions. In addition, the amount of material and number of sessions needed vary by person, so a single figure would be misleading. Information specific to you is shared directly after an examination.
