Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, virtually invisible plastic aligners to gradually shift teeth into their desired position. Each set of aligners is worn for 1-2 weeks before switching to the next set, progressively straightening the teeth.
Getting Invisalign in Turkey costs significantly less than in Western countries, while using the same Invisalign branded products and 3D iTero scanning technology. Turkish orthodontists are experienced in treating complex cases with clear aligners.
Treatment begins with a 3D scan of your teeth and a digital treatment plan showing the projected outcome. Most cases require 6-18 months of treatment. Aligners are worn 20-22 hours per day and removed for eating, drinking, and brushing.
