Could you briefly describe the stages of invisalign treatment?

In the first session, our patient’s routine treatment records such as x-rays, measurements and photographs are taken and these materials are sent to Align Teknoloji. By scanning the dimensions of our patient, 3D models are obtained and patient-specific treatment planning is made on these models. According to the treatment planning we have made, the necessary tooth movements are carried out step by step, and plaques suitable for these stages are produced and sent to us. These processes take about 6-7 weeks.
