Invisalign Orthodontic System
What is Invisalign treatment?
Invisalign, one of the latest technologies in orthodontic treatments, is specially designed for you. It is a wire-free orthodontic treatment applied to straighten your teeth with transparent aligners made of aligners.

With transparent aligners throughout the treatment, you put an end to your crooked teeth problem without anyone noticing.
In wireless orthodontics, transparent aligners are produced in series according to the desired position of the teeth without braces. Each plate creates 0.05 mm of movement. The aligners are worn for 15 days and then switched to the other plate.
How are transparent aligners produced according to tooth movement?
Your doctor takes measurements from your mouth and creates a 3-dimensional image with these measurements. will be transferred to the computer environment with the scanning system. The teeth transferred to the virtual environment are moved with a computer simulation. Transparent plaque is produced according to each 0.05 mm movement.
Your dentist can show you your post-treatment teeth in three dimensions during the treatment plan stage.
