How is orthodontic treatment performed?
Orthodontic treatment is performed using various fixed or removable appliances applied to the teeth or jawbone.

Thanks to a program that plans the process, three different appliances of varying thicknesses are worn at one-week intervals during each treatment phase.
What is Invisalign bracketless orthodontic (clear aligner) treatment?
In orthodontics, Invisalign allows for the treatment of crooked teeth much faster with devices that are not noticeable from the outside, do not impair aesthetic appearance, and have an extremely shiny surface. It is a very different treatment method from commonly used metal or porcelain brackets and the wires and elastics applied to them.
The importance of Invisalignment in orthodontics
Invisalign, a comprehensive and reliable orthodontic treatment method, has proven and confirmed its effectiveness in numerous cases. This method effectively and practically corrects crooked and misaligned teeth. In this system, a removable elastic material is used to apply gentle pressure, effectively, accurately, and quickly bringing the teeth to the desired ideal position.
