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.

An orthodontic appliance (‘brace’) will straighten or move your teeth to improve their appearance and the way they work. It can also help to improve the long-term health of your teeth, gums and jaw joints by spreading the biting pressure over all the teeth.
There are many different types of brace and your dental team or orthodontist will be able to talk to you about what is best for you.
Many people want to have whiter teeth. The only person who can whiten your teeth legally for you is a dentist, although there are ‘home whitening kits’ you can buy, you need to be over 18 to purchase these.
At times physicians and dentists recommend that a patient take antibiotics before certain dental procedures. This is called “antibiotic prophylaxis.” But why do healthcare providers suggest this extra step?
We all have bacteria in our mouths, and a number of dental treatments—and even daily routines like chewing, brushing or flossing—can allow bacteria to enter the bloodstream (bacteremia). For most of us, this isn’t a problem. A healthy immune system prevents these bacteria from causing any harm. There is concern, however, that for some people bacteremia can cause an infection elsewhere in the body.
It is usually recommended that adults use a toothbrush with a small- to medium-sized head with multi-tufted, soft to medium filaments (bristles). These filaments should be round ended and made from nylon.
The amount of radiation received from a dental x-ray is extremely small. We get more radiation from natural sources, including minerals in the soil, and from our general environment.
With modern techniques and equipment, risks are kept as small as possible. However, your dental team will always take care to use x-rays only when they need to.
