Invisalign İzmir Treatment Process

1. Digital Scans: Intraoral 3D scanning replaces conventional impressions in most cases.
2. Digital Planning: Tooth movements are simulated on dedicated software.
3. Aligner Production: A series of trays is manufactured to deliver small, controlled movements.
4. Wear Schedule: Each aligner is typically worn 7–14 days, then the next one follows.
5. Follow-ups: Clinic visits every 6–8 weeks to monitor progress.
