Orthodontic treatments used to correct incorrect jaw positions, including straightening spaced or crooked teeth, are diversifying with new technologies. The transparent tray treatment, which began to be applied as an alternative to traditional braces that have been used for a long time, is known as a new generation treatment method. With this method, teeth can be straightened with custom-made transparent trays without the need for uncomfortable braces. Transparent tray treatment, which provides many advantages to the patients who use it, requires patients to use protective trays recommended by their doctors for the duration suggested to minimize relapse after the treatment.

Clear aligner therapy, also known as "invisible braces," is an orthodontic treatment that uses custom-made clear aligners instead of traditional metal or ceramic braces to align teeth. It utilizes CAD/CAM digital dentistry and scanning devices to model the 3D shape of your teeth and produce suitable clear aligners.
How is Clear Aligner Therapy applied?
Measurements are taken from patients using a 3D scanner, and custom-made clear aligners are produced by 3D printers. The weekly changes in teeth alignment are simulated and shown to both the dentist and the patient. After the final position and appearance of the teeth are approved by both parties, the aligners are delivered. Patients change each aligner on a weekly basis, and with each change, their teeth gradually become straighter. The goal is to achieve the desired appearance at the end of the process.
