Clear aligners are one of the modern methods used in orthodontic treatment. No braces are used during this treatment; instead, treatment is carried out with clear aligners that the patient can put in and take out. The aligners used in treatment are prepared individually on a computer. Because no wires or brackets are used in clear aligner treatment, it is often not even noticeable that the patient is having treatment. The patient's daily life is not affected, and the fact that the aligners can be removed on special occasions is an important advantage.
