Transparent plaques are a personalized orthodontic treatment method obtained with 3D scanners and software programs.
The biggest advantage of clear aligners is undoubtedly that they are almost invisible. With this feature, it is preferred by adults who postpone their orthodontic treatment and young individuals who do not want to wear braces.
In clear plaque treatment, each tooth is moved in a different direction and to the end of treatment position in the shortest way. As a result, the treatment time is 50% faster than conventional wire treatment.

What is transparent plaque treatment?
What are the advantages?
Eating/Drinking in Transparent Plaque Treatment
Since the Transparent Plates are removable, the patient does not have to change their eating and drinking habits (no restrictions such as the use of acidic beverages and bite bans in wire therapy). In addition, another important advantage of being able to attach and remove transparent plaques is that the oral hygiene of the patients can be provided more easily. Thus, the risk of white spot lesions (the beginning of caries) and gum diseases that can be seen in classical orthodontic treatments is minimized.
In wire treatment, traumas in the mouth area can cause bracket rupture. This causes the already long treatment period to be extended by 2-6 months. Since transparent plates have a very flexible structure, they can be used easily in patients who do sports.
In young individuals with a lagging mandible and treated at the appropriate stage of growth development, the patient’s teeth can be corrected while stimulating the growth of the mandible.
Since the working principle of clear aligners is by pushing, opposite to wire treatment, aligners can push teeth 2mm distally (back). Thus, the chance of non-extraction treatment increases.

In the Bolton analysis offered to physicians, tooth widths are given with a precision of 0.01 millimeter. In this way, the denture spaces to be made at the end of the abrasion or treatment (if there are missing teeth) can be adjusted precisely for the ideal closure.
Again, the occlusal contacts (tooth contact with each other) at the beginning and end of the treatment are determined by means of a 3D scanner and software, thus reducing the risk of recurrence after treatment.
At the beginning of the treatment, patients can see how their teeth will look at the end of the treatment. They can contribute to the treatment plan by communicating their wishes and likes to their physicians.
Inspection intervals, which are at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks in classical wire treatments, can be extended with online examinations. In this way, orthodontic treatment does not interfere with the private lives of patients.
