Treatments with transparent aligners, called invisible orthodontics or wire-free orthodontics, are increasing in adult orthodontics today. The only thing that needs to be done in this treatment, which is an ideal alternative for individuals with high aesthetic concerns, is to use the plates properly. Thanks to these plaques, which are not visible from the outside, the teeth move slowly until they reach the desired position. Its most important features are that it does not affect daily routine life, that it can be eaten and drank anything you want, and that it can be easily put on and taken off. The fact that the applied orthodontic forces are transmitted to the teeth through the plates makes the usage period of the plates essential. For this reason, it is recommended to remove the plaques only while eating and brushing your teeth.
Features What are they?

Its transparency ensures that it is not visible from the outside, so no one can understand that you are receiving orthodontic treatment. As your teeth and smile improve, your self-confidence increases. The fact that the plates can be easily put on and removed allows you to take them off and eat whenever you want. You can eat and drink whatever you want. Brushing your teeth is equally comfortable. Because there are no wires on the teeth, you do not need to take care other than normal brushing. You have the opportunity to see your treatment results before the treatment even begins. This way, you can find out how long your entire treatment will last and how many plates you need to use.
How are the plates used?
The usage period of the plates is 15 days. Plates are used in series and the next plate is applied at the end of 15 days. The important issue for patients here is the usage time of their daily plates. The ideal usage time is 20-22 hours. In other words, it is necessary to continue using it immediately, except for eating and drinking. If aligners are used for less than the recommended time, the desired tooth movement will not occur and the treatment will be interrupted. To clean the plaques, it is sufficient to brush the plaques after brushing your teeth. Since the plaques will be renewed after 15 days, no yellowing or wear will occur.
