How does clear aligner treatment work?

We review findings, goals, and options, and outline what to expect—including an individualized fee discussion.

Intraoral impressions or scans are taken; radiographs are completed if needed.

Tooth movements and the aligner sequence are planned on the computer.

The digital plan and treatment objectives are reviewed and approved by the clinician. Aligner manufacturing begins after this approval.

Aligners are produced in the laboratory according to the approved plan.

Aligners are shipped to Türkiye and received at the clinic before your fitting visit.

Our team contacts you to book a convenient appointment.

Attachments are bonded; you are instructed on how to insert, remove, and wear your aligners each day.

We monitor progress on a schedule tailored to your plan; interproximal reduction (IPR) is performed when indicated.

Fixed lingual retainers are placed and attachments are removed—marking the end of active aligner therapy.

Records are taken for the night appliances you will use after active treatment.

Upper and lower fixed lingual retainers are intended to remain long-term.

The first retention check is often around 6 months, with yearly visits thereafter.

For the first 6 months, night aligners are typically worn every night, all night.

A comprehensive check is done about six months after finishing active treatment.

After this visit, many patients transition to wearing night aligners about once per week, with yearly follow-ups.

Please bring your night aligners to every retention appointment.
