Comprehensive Clear AlignersInvisalign · full treatment
A full-arch aligner series for moderate to advanced crowding and bite issues. Planned via digital simulation and progressed under dentist supervision through to the final result.
Teeth Straightening
Straighter teeth, without anyone noticing.
Clear aligner (Invisalign) treatment straightens crowded and spaced teeth using virtually invisible, removable trays. A digital 3D scan lets you see your end result before treatment even begins — and you improve your smile step by step, without disrupting your everyday life.

What are clear aligners
What is clear aligner (Invisalign) treatment?
Clear aligner treatment is a modern orthodontic method that uses thin, custom-fit, virtually invisible trays worn over the teeth. Your teeth are scanned digitally, the target alignment is planned on a computer, and a personalized series of aligners is fabricated based on that plan.
Each aligner moves the teeth in small, controlled steps toward the planned position. The aligners are swapped out at set intervals for the next in the series; once the series is complete, the teeth reach their target alignment. The entire process advances under the dentist's supervision, with regular check-up appointments.
How do the aligners move teeth?
Each aligner is made one step ahead of the current position; the gentle, continuous force it applies guides the teeth toward the planned location. As the aligners are worn in sequence, the teeth gradually straighten.
How is it different from braces?
No brackets or wires are bonded to your teeth; the aligners are clear and removable. You take them out while eating and brushing, and they are barely noticeable to others. The treatment goal is the same: a healthy bite and well-aligned teeth.
What does Invisalign mean?
Invisalign is the world's most widely used branded clear aligner system. A digital simulation before treatment shows you step by step how your teeth will move and what the final result will look like.
Advantages
Advantages of clear aligners
Clear aligners are designed for people who want to undergo orthodontic treatment without interrupting the flow of daily life.
Virtually invisible
Their thin, clear construction means they are rarely noticed while speaking or smiling — no impact on your professional or social life.
Removable comfort
Aligners are removed while eating and brushing your teeth, so there are no dietary restrictions and oral hygiene is far easier to maintain than with braces.
No irritation or sores
Without brackets and wires, there is no irritation to cheeks or lips; the smooth surface makes for comfortable, hassle-free wear.
See your result in advance
Digital planning lets you visualize the treatment timeline and the alignment your teeth will achieve — even before the first aligner is placed.
Who is it for
Who is a candidate for clear aligners?
Clear aligners can address many orthodontic concerns in teenagers and adults with healthy teeth and gums. Candidacy is confirmed through an examination and digital analysis.
Crowded teeth
For mild to moderate crowding, clear aligners are among the most commonly chosen options; the teeth are moved gradually toward their ideal alignment.
Gaps between teeth
Spaces between teeth (diastema) are closed in a controlled manner with aligners, resulting in a balanced, natural-looking smile line.
Relapse after previous treatment
Patients who previously had braces but experienced relapse can benefit from clear aligners for a shorter-term, comfortable correction.
Who may not be a candidate?
Severe skeletal discrepancies may require braces or combined treatment approaches. Aligners must be worn 20–22 hours per day; if consistent daily wear cannot be maintained, your dentist may recommend a different method.
Treatment options
Clear aligner treatment options
Different aligner protocols are applied depending on the scope of the issue and the patient's age. The right option for you is determined after a digital analysis.
Short-Term (Express) AlignersMild cases
A shorter protocol completed with fewer aligners for mild crowding, minor spacing, and post-treatment relapse. Results are typically achieved within a few months.
Teen Clear AlignersFor teenagers
An aligner system specially designed for teenagers who are still growing. Accommodates newly erupting teeth and includes compliance indicator options.
Retention Aligner (Retainer)Post-treatment protection
A thin clear retainer worn after treatment to maintain the teeth's new position. Consistent wear keeps the achieved alignment stable for years to come.
Treatment process
How does clear aligner treatment progress?
From digital scan to retention — a planned, comfortable four-step journey.
Examination and 3D scan
An intraoral evaluation is performed; your teeth are measured digitally with an intraoral scanner, supported by X-rays if needed.
Digital plan and simulation
Your teeth's step-by-step movement is planned on a computer; the target alignment and estimated timeline are shown to you in a simulation.
Wearing the aligners
Your custom-made aligners are worn in sequence according to the dentist's instructions; progress is monitored at regular check-up visits.
Retention
Once the target alignment is reached, you transition to a retainer to make the teeth's new position permanent.
Wear and care
What should you keep in mind while wearing clear aligners?
Finishing treatment on schedule depends on correct, consistent aligner wear.
Wear 20–22 hours a day
Aligners should only be removed for eating and brushing; the less they are worn, the longer treatment takes and the more the plan is disrupted.
Remove them when eating or drinking
Aligners should not be worn while eating or drinking anything other than water; this prevents staining and deformation. Brush your teeth before putting them back in.
Clean your aligners properly
Clean aligners with a soft brush and cool-to-lukewarm water; hot water must be avoided as it can distort the shape of the aligner.
Do not skip your check-ups
Scheduled appointments confirm that tooth movement is progressing according to plan; the plan is updated if needed.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about clear aligners
Is clear aligner treatment painful?
No. When you switch to a new aligner, you may feel slight pressure on your teeth for the first day or two; this is normal and temporary — a sign that your teeth are moving. Unlike braces, there are no brackets or wires to cause irritation or sores.
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
Duration depends on the complexity of the case: mild cases may take just a few months, while comprehensive treatments average 6–18 months. The estimated timeline is established during digital planning and shown to you in the simulation before treatment begins.
Do aligners affect speech?
You may notice a very slight difference with certain sounds during the first few days; your mouth adapts to the aligners quickly and speech returns to normal. Thanks to their thin profile, this adjustment period is very short for most patients.
Do you wear aligners while eating?
No. Aligners are removed while eating and whenever you drink anything other than water, so there are no dietary restrictions. After eating, brush your teeth and then put the aligner back in.
Are clear aligners as effective as braces?
For mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and many bite issues, clear aligners deliver results comparable to braces. For more advanced skeletal discrepancies, braces or combined approaches may be required; the right method is determined at your examination.
How much do clear aligners cost?
The cost varies by individual case depending on the scope of treatment, the number of aligners required, and the system selected. Contact us or book a consultation at ÖzbuDent for a personalized assessment.
