Clear aligners at Antalya Dental Hospital, Turkey
Clear aligners: What Are They, Benefits and Cost
Clear aligners, also called invisible aligners, are a type of orthodontic treatment that corrects misaligned or crooked teeth.
The clear solution to straight teeth.
Clear removable aligners are virtually invisible making them one of the more popular orthodontic treatments of choice by adults. They come in different brands but Invisalign and Eon are the known brands in the AYT (Antalya).
Clear aligners use 3D technology, so every treatment is customized for the patient. We use this advanced technology to pre-plan, simulate the desired result and make a series of aligners for the entire course of treatment. Each aligner moves your teeth as planned by your orthodontist, gently and gradually shifting their position day by day.

Not altogether, but there are some precautions you can take:
- Wear a mouthguard: If you grind your teeth at night, have a night-guard made to protect your teeth. If you play sports, wear a custom-made mouthguard.
- Avoid biting or chewing on hard objects.
These can be used in most areas of the mouth. An inlay is small and placed within the biting surface of the tooth. An onlay can cover a larger area of the tooth. Gold is the most long-lasting and hard-wearing filling material and will last for many years. An advantage of gold is that it does not tarnish and has great strength.
One of the differences between gold and other filling materials is that the gold filling is made in a laboratory. Your dental team will usually take an impression of the prepared cavity and send it to the laboratory for the technician to make the inlay or onlay. In the meantime, a temporary filling will be placed in the cavity. After the gold inlay or onlay has been made, your dentist will fix it in place with dental cement. This type of filling is more expensive.
It is important to wear a professionally made mouthguard whenever you play sport that involves physical contact or moving objects. This includes: cricket, hockey and football – which can cause broken and damaged teeth; and American football, boxing and rugby – which can all cause broken or dislocated jaws. A mouthguard will help protect against these happening.
Orthodontic treatment is a way of straightening or moving teeth, to improve the appearance of the teeth and how they work. It can also help to look after the long-term health of your teeth, gums and jaw joints, by spreading the biting pressure over all your teeth.
