In order to eliminate crooked or crowding in the teeth, dental braces should be applied by an orthodontic specialist. When dental braces are considered, metal-looking braces usually come to mind. In today’s dental braces treatment technology, transparent plastic-looking aligners, which we call clear aligners, are used. Invisalign is an American brand of clear aligners that is associated with clear aligners. Although they are the same treatment, there are many differences between metal braces and Invisalign.
Invisalign is a new invention in orthodontics, which is completely harmless to human health, made by shaping the plastic material with heat. It has been applied to more than 4 million patients since its discovery. Its production and patent belongs to an American company. Invisalign clear aligners are used by a small number of dental hospitals in Istanbul. In order to apply Invisalign clear aligners to the teeth, the teeth must be examined with a sensitive 3D scanner that can accurately measure the teeth. The name of this device is ITero 3D imaging orthodontic device. Not every dental clinic has this device because it is expensive.
Invisalign clear aligners, which have many advantages over metal and other dental braces models, are naturally expensive compared to other types of dental braces. However, invisalign, which saves time and provides an error-free, comfortable treatment, becomes cheaper than other dental braces based on the success rate. Although it is inappropriate to give a price before an orthodontic examination, it is necessary to allocate a budget between 8,500 TL – 25,000 TL for invisalign treatment.
