Clear Aligner Treatment Process

1

Consultation

Before beginning the treatment, a detailed consultation is conducted with the patient. The oral and dental structure is assessed, expectations are discussed, and suitability for treatment is determined. Since clear aligner therapy is personalized, this stage is particularly important.

2

Initial Assessment

Before starting clear aligner treatment, any necessary fillings, extractions, or other dental procedures should be completed. These preliminary steps ensure that the aligner treatment is built on a healthy foundation.

3

Dental Impression

Using digital scanning devices, intraoral measurements are taken to design custom clear aligners for the patient. To ensure that the aligners are effective and comfortable to use, it is essential that these measurements are taken with high precision.

4

Aligner Delivery and Usage Instructions

The prepared aligners are delivered to the patient, and detailed instructions are provided about their usage. This includes when and how to remove them, how to clean them, and what to pay attention to during daily use.

5

Follow-Up Appointments

Regular follow-up appointments are conducted throughout the treatment. Dr. Sinem Uzuner evaluates whether the treatment is progressing as planned and intervenes when necessary. These check-ups play a critical role in achieving a successful outcome.
