Before starting clear aligner treatment in Ankara
Clear aligner treatment can last from a few months to two years and requires regular check-ups. That is why practical matters such as the distance between the clinic and where you live or work, and how well appointment times fit your work or school schedule, are also important. How often you need to come to the clinic during treatment depends on the scope of the case and the check-up intervals.
How often will you come to the clinic during treatment?
| Stage | Visits |
|---|---|
| Examination and records | Usually 1 appointment (a second one for records if needed) |
| Discussing the plan | Appointment where the digital simulation is shared |
| Aligner delivery and attachments | 1 appointment |
| Check-ups | Usually every 6–10 weeks |
| Additional aligner set (if needed) | Appointment for a new scan |
| End of treatment and retention | Removal of attachments and fitting of the retainer |
Because aligners are given in sets covering several weeks, you do not need to come to the clinic for every aligner change. You change aligners at home according to the schedule set by your orthodontist.
If you travel or have a busy schedule
If you need to be away from Ankara for long periods, it may be possible to plan the aligner sets and check-up dates around this. Sharing your travel and work schedule at the examination helps us prepare a timetable that suits you.
