Are There Limitations in Clear Plaque Treatment?

We are asked this question a lot by our patients. When it is first worn, there may be some difficulty in getting used to it for 3-4 days, but we tell our patients who are worried about having problems speaking that they can remove it in situations that require intense speaking. Nevertheless, they get so used to wearing their aligners that they don’t even feel the need to remove them. The same applies to traditional braces; however, since the tongue, lips, and cheeks are adaptive structures, they gradually adjust over time, and any initial discomfort fades away.
In fact, we have had patients from various professions where speaking plays a crucial role — such as judges, lawyers, call center employees, English teachers, and sales representatives — and none of them have ever skipped wearing their aligners due to excessive difficulty. These plaques are quite thin, light and have short borders that do not extend from the gum to the palate. Many people ask this question, influenced by people who used reinforcement plates at the end of orthodontic treatment and had a bad experience for certain reasons. They have very different structures with the reinforcement plate. Therefore, the same problems are not experienced.

REMOTE CONTROL IS ALSO POSSIBLE IN TRANSPARENT PLAQUE TREATMENT!
In fact, we still benefit from the advantages of digital planning. The procedures that need to be performed by the physician are collected within a certain period of time, giving the opportunity to see patients at longer intervals. Thus, there is no need to check every month compared to the classical method. Of course, it should not be thought of as being unaware of the patient for a long time. Hastalarımıza fotoğraf çekebilmeleri için gerekli araçları verip, 6-8 haftalık aralıklarda ağız içi fotoğraflarını istiyoruz. We can also perform online checks. The process goes smoothly because we provide all the information about the treatment in detail beforehand. In other words, there is a need for much fewer physical check-up appointments compared to the classical method.
