We contacted Dentalays for our son’s…
We reached out to Dentalays regarding our son's dental correction. We attended on February 12, 2026. We were met at the terminal and transported to the accommodation, and on the following day we were collected and brought to the facility, where therapy commenced. The entire journey was serene and thoroughly coordinated, with zero unneeded complications. The practitioners detailed every phase in detail, which made us feel assured and at ease. Particular recognition to Guzel for her guidance and backing — she was with us at each moment and remained with us throughout our departure. Overall, we feel quite satisfied, and our son was pleased with the outcome. I recommend without hesitation.

I recently booked my smile transformation at dentalAYS and had an excellent experience from start to finish. Before making my decision, Erkan answered all of my questions—he was incredibly helpful, informative, and responsive. From the moment I arrived at the clinic, the team made me feel genuinely welcome. One of the dentists reassured me that my smile would look natural, which was exactly what I wanted. There was absolutely no pressure; I was given the time and space to make my decision comfortably. The process was thorough, including X-rays and 5D scans. My treatment was carried out by Ayça (dentist) and Rabia (dental nurse), both of whom were patient, caring, and highly skilled. Ayça’s attention to detail was exceptional—she ensured I was completely satisfied with the colour, shape, and bite before finalising anything. After the dental work, the orthodontist replaced my fitted retainer, which I really appreciated. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the results of my smile transformation. Choosing dentalAYS was one of the best decisions I’ve made, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome.

Outstanding dental facility—the finest I've encountered. Elegant and spotless environment. Affordable pricing. Incredibly fair rates. Underwent wisdom tooth extraction and invisalign here. Remarkably skilled and considerate staff. Money-driven they're not—they offer honest guidance instead. If it's unnecessary, they'll let you know. I'd confidently refer anyone to this place. Once terrified of dental work, that's changed now. Grateful to Fatih 🫡

I had my teeth done at Dentalays last…
I had my dental work completed at Dentalays back in August. I underwent 3 implants alongside a complete smile restoration using crowns. The experience was outstanding. Everyone on staff was exceptionally friendly and I was at ease throughout my procedures. I'm delighted with my smile transformation and haven't experienced any issues. I've returned to finish my remaining implants and brought my brother along so he can also receive his smile transformation! I'm recommending Dentalays to anyone who'll listen!

What is Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws ("malocclusions"). It involves using devices like braces or clear aligners to gently move teeth into their ideal positions over a period of months or years. The goal is not just a straighter smile, but a healthier bite where the top and bottom teeth fit together correctly, improving function and making teeth easier to clean.
The integration of orthodontics with cosmetic procedures allows for more conservative tooth preparation, making it a preferred preliminary phase for patients planning a full smile makeover through Turkey teeth packages.
Our Orthodontic Services (Invisalign, Braces, Retainers)
We offer a full range of modern orthodontic solutions tailored to your needs:
Invisalign:
This is the most popular option for our international patients. Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, virtually invisible plastic aligners to move your teeth. You wear each set of aligners for 1-2 weeks before moving to the next set. It is highly aesthetic, comfortable, and removable, allowing you to eat and brush normally.
Dental Braces (Traditional & Ceramic):
This is the most powerful and effective method for correcting complex bite issues.
- Metal Braces: The classic, most durable option, using high-grade stainless steel brackets and wires.
- Ceramic Braces: These function like metal braces but use clear or tooth-coloured ceramic brackets that blend in with your teeth, offering a more aesthetic, less noticeable option.
Teeth Retainers:
This is the most important final step of all orthodontic treatment. After your teeth are straight, Teeth Retainers (either a clear plastic tray or a small wire fixed behind your teeth) are used to hold the teeth in their new positions permanently and prevent them from shifting back.
The Orthodontic Process for International Patients
Unlike a one-week smile makeover, orthodontic treatment is a long-term relationship. Here is how we manage it for our international patients:
-
Digital Consultation
You send us photos and X-rays. Our specialist orthodontist assesses your case and determines if you are a candidate, especially for Invisalign, which is easiest to manage remotely.
-
Visit 1: Full Records & Start (5-7 Days)
This is your main planning visit. We take 3D digital scans (iTero), X-rays, and photos.
- For Invisalign: We use your scans to create your full treatment plan. You may be able to take several months' worth of aligners (e.g., 6-12 months) home with you.
- For Braces: We bond the brackets and place the first wire.
-
Follow-Up Period (At Home & In-Clinic):
- For Invisalign: You will have virtual check-ins with our orthodontist. You will need to return to Antalya for a check-up and to collect your next set of aligners (e.g., every 6-12 months).
- For Braces: This is more demanding. You must be able to return to our Antalya clinic every 6-8 weeks for your wire adjustments.
-
Visit 2: Finalization & Retainers (5-7 Days)
Once your teeth are in their final positions, we remove your braces or complete your aligner treatment. We will then scan you for your final Teeth Retainers to ensure your new smile lasts a lifetime.
Pros and Cons of Orthodontic Treatment
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Corrects Root Cause: Actually moves your teeth to the correct position (vs. veneers, which just cover them). | Long Time Commitment: Results are not instant; treatment takes months or years. |
| Improves Oral Health: Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing risk of decay and gum disease. | Requires Multiple Visits: Especially true for traditional braces. |
| Fixes Bite Issues: Can solve problems with chewing, jaw pain (TMD), and uneven wear. | Discomfort: You may feel pressure or soreness after adjustments. |
| Permanent Results: (If retainers are worn as instructed). | Aesthetics: Traditional braces are highly visible (though Invisalign solves this). |
| Preserves Natural Teeth: No enamel removal is required (unlike veneers or crowns). | Dietary Rules: Braces require you to avoid hard, sticky foods. |
Who is a Good Candidate for Orthodontics?
You are a great candidate for orthodontic treatment in Turkey if you:
- Have crowded, crooked, or overlapping teeth.
- Have gaps or spacing between your teeth.
- Have an "overbite," "underbite," "crossbite," or "open bite."
- Are you willing to commit to the long-term treatment and follow-up visits?
- Are you an adult who wants straight teeth (age is not a barrier!).
- Prefer to fix the underlying issue rather than cover it with veneers.
Why Choose Dentalays for Your Orthodontic Treatment in Turkey?
- Specialist Orthodontists: Your treatment is planned and managed by a certified specialist orthodontist, not a general dentist.
- Advanced Digital Planning: We use 3D iTero scanners and digital software to plan your Invisalign treatment precisely, allowing you to see a simulation of your result before you even start.
- International Patient Experience: We specialize in managing Invisalign for international patients, providing multiple sets of aligners and remote monitoring to minimize your travel.
- Affordable Access to Top Brands: We offer official Invisalign and high-quality ceramic/metal braces at a cost of braces in Turkey that is highly competitive.
- Comprehensive Clinic: We can combine your orthodontic treatment with other cosmetic procedures (like whitening or reshaping) for a perfect finish.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much does orthodontic treatment cost in Turkey?
The Invisalign cost in Turkey is typically €2,500 - €4,500, while traditional metal dental braces in Turkey cost around €1,000 - €2,500 for a full treatment.
Is orthodontic treatment possible for dental tourism?
Yes, but it requires careful planning. Invisalign is the best option as it requires fewer in-person visits (e.g., every 6-12 months). Traditional braces require you to return to Turkey every 6-8 weeks, which is only feasible for some patients.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
A typical case takes between 12 and 24 months. Minor corrections can be as fast as 6 months.
What is the difference between Invisalign and Braces?
Invisalign uses removable, clear plastic aligners (great for aesthetics and cleaning). Braces use fixed brackets and wires, which are more powerful for complex cases but are visible and require diet restrictions.
How many trips to Turkey will I need?
For Invisalign, expect a minimum of 2-3 trips over your treatment. For traditional braces, you must return every 6-8 weeks.
Does orthodontic treatment hurt?
You will feel pressure and tenderness for a few days after getting braces bonded or starting a new aligner tray. This is normal discomfort, not severe pain, and is easily managed.
What are Teeth Retainers and are they necessary?
Yes, they are 100% necessary. A retainer (either clear and removable or a fixed wire) holds your teeth in their new, straight position. If you do not wear your retainer, your teeth will move back.
I'm an adult. Am I too old for braces?
No. About 25% of orthodontic patients are adults. As long as your gums and bones are healthy, you can straighten your teeth at any age.
Should I get braces or veneers?
Orthodontics fixes the position of your natural teeth. Veneers cover the cosmetic problem. If your teeth are healthy but crooked, orthodontics is the healthiest long-term solution. If you also want to change the shape and colour of your teeth, veneers (after orthodontics) are a great option.
Why is orthodontic treatment cheaper in Turkey?
The savings are due to the lower operational costs, lab fees, and living expenses in Turkey. The brands (like Invisalign) and materials are the same high-quality you would get in the UK or USA.
