1.What is OrthoORIGIN Treatment?

OrthoORIGIN is an orthodontic treatment system consisting of clear and removable aligners developed to correct your teeth in an aesthetic and comfortable way. These clear aligners guide your teeth step by step, gently to their ideal positions and offer a visually more pleasing solution compared to traditional wire treatments.

2. How Should You Use Your Clear Aligners?

2.1. Daily Use

  • Wearing Time: You need to wear your clear aligners for at least 22 hours every day. You can remove them only when eating, brushing your teeth, and cleaning the clear aligners.
  • Clear Aligner Change: Renew your clear aligner set every 15 days.
  • New Clear Aligners: When transitioning to a new clear aligner set, you may feel a slight pressure for the first few days. This is a natural indication that the clear aligners are moving your teeth from their position and will disappear over time.

2.2. Inserting and Removing Clear Aligners

  • Insertion: When inserting the clear aligners, gently place them on your front teeth, then slightly press towards your back teeth to position them.
  • Removal: When removing the clear aligners, gently lift from both sides. Avoid forcing, otherwise your clear aligners may get damaged.

3. Care of Your Clear Aligners

3.1. Cleaning

  • Daily Cleaning: Clean your clear aligners gently every day using a soft-bristled toothbrush and water, with a small amount of toothpaste. Avoid using hard brushes or abrasive substances.
  • Deep Cleaning: Once a week, you can deep clean your clear aligners with OrthoORIGIN Clear Aligner Cleaning Foam or OrthoORIGIN Clear Aligner Cleaning Spray. Denture cleaners or mouthwashes should not be used as they can damage the surface of your clear aligners.
  • Rinsing: Gently rinse your clear aligners with cold water before and after each use.

3.2. Storage

  • Storage Case: Store your clear aligners in the OrthoORIGIN Storage Case when not in use. This prevents your clear aligners from getting lost or damaged.
  • Temperature: Avoid exposing your clear aligners to hot water or high temperatures, as this can distort the shape of the clear aligners.

3.3. Control

  • Damage Control: Check your clear aligners daily for cracks, deformation, or any separation. If you notice any damage, contact our OrthoORIGIN call center immediately.

4. Eating and Drinking

4.1. Removing Clear Aligners

  • While Eating: Always remove your clear aligners during meals. Food can get trapped inside the clear aligners and become difficult to clean.
  • Beverages: Remove your clear aligners when consuming sugary, acidic, or colored drinks. However, you can wear your clear aligners only when drinking cold water.

4.2. Oral Hygiene

  • Brushing and Flossing: Do not reinsert your clear aligners after meals without brushing your teeth and using dental floss. This will prevent food residues from accumulating inside the clear aligners.
  • Mouth Rinsing: Don't forget to rinse your mouth with water before inserting your clear aligners.

5. Things to Consider During the Treatment Process

5.1. Discomfort and Sensitivity

  • Tooth Sensitivity: In the first days of clear aligner changes, you may feel a slight sensitivity or discomfort in your teeth. This is temporary and will disappear within a few days.
  • Speech: When you first wear your clear aligners, you may experience a lisp or slight difficulty in speaking. This situation usually resolves itself within 1-2 weeks.

5.2. Tooth Mobility

  • Looseness: You may feel a temporary looseness in your teeth during the treatment process. This is completely normal, and your teeth will firm up again when the treatment is completed.

6. Possible Problems and Solutions

6.1. Clear Aligner Breakage or Cracking

  • What to Do?: If your clear aligners break or crack, consult your dentist immediately. It is important not to continue treatment with damaged clear aligners.

6.2. Attachment Falling Off

  • What to Do?: OrthoORIGIN is a treatment system without attachments, so it is not possible for you to encounter such a problem.

6.3. Allergic Reaction

  • What to Do?: Allergic reactions to clear aligner material are rare. If you notice symptoms such as itching, redness, or swelling, remove the clear aligners and call our OrthoORIGIN call center. Our doctors will provide you with detailed information.

7. After Treatment

7.1. Retention

  • Retention Appliances: When the treatment process is completed, you will need to use retention appliances to maintain the new positions of your teeth. Your dentist will complete your treatment by recommending the most suitable appliance for you.

7.2. Regular Check-ups

  • Online Dentist Consultation: Do not miss your regular dentist check-ups after treatment. This ensures that your teeth stay healthy and your treatment process is completed efficiently.

8. Frequently Asked Questions
