Step 2- Obtaining the required dental molds:
The treatment plan scenario of the movement of the teeth is obtained on the computer. The treatment route is determined according to these scenarios. The desired tooth molds are removed from the three-dimensional printer. A flexible transparent plate is applied on these molds.
Step 3- preparing the plates to be used in the treatment:
A plate suitable for each step is prepared for the path to be covered in the treatment stages. Thus, the plates to be used in the treatment are prepared.

side effects of transparent plaque
The side effects of the transparent plaque procedure are as follow:
• Tooth decay:
When wearing transparent plaque, food particles can get trapped between the teeth and the plaques, leading to plaque buildup and an increased risk of tooth decay.
• Gum disease:
Failure to brush and floss properly can lead to plaque and food debris accumulation along the gum line. This can lead to inflammation and potential gum disease.
• Tooth sensitivity:
Tooth sensitivity is one of the common transparent plaque side effects. This is mainly because the plaques are designed to move the teeth gradually, which can cause temporary discomfort and sensitivity.
What is a transparent plaque procedure?
A transparent plaque procedure is a dental treatment aimed at improving oral health by removing plaque buildup on the teeth. It typically involves the use of a specialized gel or solution that is applied to the teeth. This solution helps in loosening and dissolving the plaque without harsh scrubbing.
What should I do before having a transparet plaque procedure?
Before undergoing a transparent plaque procedure, it’s crucial to prepare effectively. One should begin by consulting with a qualified dental professional to understand the specifics of the treatment and any potential risks involved. It is also important to discuss medical history and current medications to ensure safety during the procedure. Maintaining good oral hygiene leading up to the appointment will help in achieving optimal results.
How do you get dental plaque?
Dental plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on the teeth and gums. It develops when food particles, especially sugars and starches, combine with saliva and bacteria present in the mouth. If oral hygiene is not maintained, these bacteria multiply and adhere to the teeth, leading to plaque buildup.
How long does it take to develop plaque?
Plaque can begin to form on teeth within 24 to 72 hours after brushing. This sticky film of bacteria accumulates when food particles and sugars are not removed properly.
Does plaque cause tooth decay?
Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth and gums. It plays a significant role in the development of tooth decay. When a person consumes sugary or starchy foods, the bacteria in plaque produce acids that can erode tooth enamel. Over time, this erosion leads to cavities and other dental issues.
