AB  - In-office aligner fabrication israpidly transforming the orthodontic landscape,offering a revolutionary approach to orthodontictreatment. This review discusses the fabricationprocess, focusing on the key steps involved:three-dimensional(3D) treatment planning, threedimensional(3D) printing, and post-processing.The direct printing of clear aligners is alsoexplored, as it presents a significant advancementin aligner production technology. In-officeproduction of clear aligners presents numerousadvantages, including enhanced patientsatisfaction, greater control for dentalpractitioners, and cost savings. As a discreet andvirtually invisible treatment option, clear alignershave garnered significant interest among patientsseeking orthodontic care. These aligners permitproper oral hygiene and unrestricted foodchoices, further increasing their appeal. Alignertherapy is generally associated with lessdiscomfort and reduced chair time in comparisonto traditional braces, contributing to its growingpopularity and impact on the orthodonticindustry. Direct printing of aligners offers thepotential for even greater efficiency andcustomization, as it enables dental professionalsto fabricate the aligners in-office using 3Dprinting technology. This approach eliminatesthe need for multiple steps and reduces relianceon external labs, streamlining the process andaccelerating treatment. In conclusion, in-officealigner fabrication, particularly through directprinting, is poised to revolutionize orthodonticcare. By streamlining the production process andoffering a more comfortable, discreet treatmentoption, this innovative approach is likely tocontinue gaining traction within the dentalcommunity and transform the patient’sexperience.

N2  - Ofis içi şeffaf plak üretimi, ortodontiktedaviye devrim niteliğinde bir yaklaşım sunarakortodonti alanında hızla dönüşümsağlamaktadır. Bu derleme, üretim sürecini vesüreçte yer alan ana adımları ele alarak, üçboyutlu(3B) tedavi planlaması, üç boyutlu baskıve baskı sonrası işlemler üzerinde durmaktadır.Şeffaf plakların doğrudan basımı da önemli birüretim teknolojisi ilerlemesi olarakincelenmektedir. Ofis içi şeffaf plak üretimi,gelişmiş hasta memnuniyeti, diş hekimleri içindaha fazla kontrol ve maliyet tasarrufu gibi pekçok avantaj sunmaktadır. Şeffaf ve neredeysegörünmez bir tedavi seçeneği olarak şeffafplaklar, ortodontik tedavi olmak isteyen hastalararasında önemli bir ilgi görmektedir. Bu plaklar,düzgün ağız hijyenini ve sınırsız gıda seçimineizin vererek, cazibelerini daha da artırmaktadır.Plak tedavisi, geleneksel diş tellerine kıyasladaha az rahatsızlık ve daha kısa randevu süreleriile ilişkilendirildiğinden, ortodonti pratiğindepopülaritesi ve etkisi giderek artmaktadır.Plakların doğrudan basımı, diş hekimlerinin 3Bbaskı teknolojisi kullanarak plakları ofislerindeüretmelerine olanak tanıyarak daha da büyükverimlilik ve kişiselleştirme potansiyelisunmaktadır. Bu yöntem, birden fazla adımıortadan kaldırır ve dış laboratuvarlara olanbağımlılığı azaltarak süreci basitleştirir vetedaviyi hızlandırır. Sonuç olarak, özellikledoğrudan basım yoluyla ofis-içi şeffaf plaküretimi, ortodontik bakımı devrim niteliğindedönüştürme potansiyeline sahiptir. Üretimsürecini basitleştirerek ve daha rahat, estetik birtedavi seçeneği sunarak, bu yenilikçi yaklaşımındiş hekimliği topluluğu içinde giderek daha fazlailgi görmesi ve hastaların deneyiminidönüştürmesi muhtemeldir.
