Transparent plaques are transparent plaques used instead of brackets attached to the tooth surface. The treatment of the acquired dental disorder is carried out virtually in computer software. Then, the tooth positions that are expected to occur in this treatment are divided at a movement level of 0.2 mm and a plaque is produced for each step. The patient is treated using these plaques under the supervision of a doctor.
In the treatment with transparent plaque, extensions made of tooth-colored composite filling material are glued to the surface of the teeth. However, since their size is smaller than the brackets, they are more comfortable and it is easier to care for the mouth.
The transparency of the plaques allows for treatment without making a difference in social relations.
Advantages:
Aesthetic appearance
Easier oral care compared to bracket treatment
The Disadvantage:
Because the treatment process is planned virtually, the predictability of the realization of the treatment outcome is lower
As a result, orthodontic treatment with transparent plaques is an aesthetic treatment option in patients where the advantages are higher and the disadvantages are lower, the correct treatment planning is made by the physician.
