What Are Orthodontic Dental Braces?

Orthodontic dental braces are fixed appliances used by orthodontists to move teeth and correct bite problems (malocclusions). They work by applying continuous, gentle pressure over a long period.

How do they work?

Brackets:

Small metal or ceramic squares are bonded directly to the front of each tooth.

Archwire:

A thin, metal wire runs through a slot in each bracket, connecting all the teeth.

Ties (or Clips):

Small elastic bands (ligatures) or built-in clips (dental braces self self-ligating) hold the wire in the bracket.

By regularly adjusting the wire, our orthodontist precisely controls the pressure, guiding your teeth into their perfect, straight position.

 

The Braces Process for International Patients: A Note on Commitment

This is the most important consideration for our international patients.

Unlike Invisalign, which can be managed with fewer visits, traditional dental braces are fixed to your teeth and require mandatory, in-person adjustments every 6-8 weeks.

  1. Visit 1: Consultation & Bonding (5-7 Days)

    We take 3D scans, X-rays, and photos. Our orthodontist creates your treatment plan and bonds the braces to your teeth.

  2. The Adjustment Phase (Critical)

    You must be able to travel back to our Antalya clinic every 6-8 weeks for your wire to be adjusted. If you cannot commit to this travel schedule, traditional braces are not a feasible option for you, and we would recommend Invisalign (if suitable) or cosmetic solutions like veneers.

  3. Final Visit: Debonding & Retainers (5-7 Days)

    Once your teeth are perfectly straight, we remove the braces (a painless process) and take impressions for your final retainers.

 

Types of Dental Braces We Offer

We offer several types of orthodontic dental braces to fit your needs:

Metal Dental Braces:

This is the most traditional, durable, and cost-effective option. The brackets are made of high-grade stainless steel. They are the most powerful tool for serious bite correction.

Ceramic Braces ("Invisible Dental Braces"):

These work just like metal braces, but the brackets are made from a clear or tooth-coloured ceramic. This makes them much less noticeable, offering a great aesthetic alternative.

Self-Ligating Braces:

These advanced braces (metal or ceramic) do not use elastic ties. Instead, self-ligating dental braces have a built-in clip or door that holds the wire. This can reduce friction, potentially speed up treatment in some cases, and make cleaning easier.

 

Pros and Cons of Dental Braces

Pros Cons
Maximum Power: Can fix severe crowding, gaps, and complex bite issues (overbites, underbites) that Invisalign may not. Requires Frequent Visits: Non-negotiable adjustments every 6-8 weeks are essential.
Highly Effective: The most predictable and effective way to straighten teeth. Highly Visible: Traditional metal braces are very noticeable (though ceramic options help).
Cost-Effective: Often the most affordable dental braces price for full orthodontic correction. Dietary Restrictions: You must avoid hard, sticky, and chewy foods to prevent breakage.
Fixed Appliance: You can't forget to wear them, ensuring 24/7 compliance. Difficult to Clean: Requires special care and tools to clean around the brackets and wires.

 

Who is a Good Candidate for Dental Braces?

  • Have moderate to severe crowding, spacing, or bite problems.
  • Have complex orthodontic needs that may be beyond the scope of Invisalign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How much do braces cost in Turkey?

The total price of dental braces in Turkey for a full treatment typically ranges from €1,000 - €2,500 for metal braces and €1,500 - €3,000 for ceramic.

 

Can I really get braces as an international patient?

We must be very clear: Only if you can commit to flying to Antalya every 6-8 weeks for adjustments. If you cannot, Invisalign (which requires fewer visits) is a much better option.

 

Do dental braces hurt?

You will feel significant pressure and tenderness in your teeth for a few days after they are first put on and after each adjustment. This is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.

 

What's the difference between metal and ceramic braces?

Functionally, they are the same. Aesthetically, metal dental braces are silver, while ceramic braces are clear or tooth-coloured ("invisible dental braces"), making them less noticeable.

 

What are self-ligating braces?

These braces use a small, built-in clip to hold the archwire instead of elastic bands. This can reduce friction and may make appointments slightly faster.

 

How long does treatment take?

A typical case takes 12-24 months. Complex cases can take longer.

 

What can't I eat with braces?

You must avoid hard foods (like nuts, hard candy, ice), sticky foods (like caramel, gum), and chewy foods (like hard bread or bagels) that can break a bracket or pull a wire.

 

Is a retainer necessary after braces?

Yes, 100%. A retainer (either removable or fixed) is essential to keep your teeth straight. If you don't wear it, your teeth will move back.

 

Are braces better than Invisalign?

Braces are more powerful and are better for fixing very complex bite issues. Invisalign is more aesthetic and convenient for international travel, and is excellent for mild to moderate cases.

 

How do I clean my teeth with braces?

It is more difficult and requires extra time. You will need to use special tools like interdental brushes and floss threaders to clean effectively around the brackets and under the wires.

Professional Photography

In dentistry, high-resolution photographs are taken to evaluate the patient’s existing tooth structure and facial aesthetics. These photos are used to document and analyze the condition, color, and shape of the teeth and their harmony with the patient’s face.

 

Why is it important? Professional photographs help dentists and lab technicians plan the restoration process and achieve ideal aesthetic results.

5D Scanning

5D scanning technology allows for highly precise digital scanning of teeth and oral structures. This technology goes beyond traditional 3D scans by capturing additional information such as color, texture, and movement.

 

Why is it important? 5D scanning enables the creation of detailed digital models of teeth, allowing for more accurate and personalized restorations. This accelerates the treatment process and provides a more comfortable experience for the patient.

Use of Special Dental Burs

Special dental burs are used for shaping teeth with minimal preparation and for the precise placement of restorations. These burs are high-precision and sharp instruments.

 

Why is it important? The use of special dental burs for accurate and minimally invasive preparation maximizes the preservation of tooth structure and improves aesthetic outcomes.

Quality and Technological Laboratory Infrastructure

Dental laboratories equipped with advanced technology play a key role in the production of restorations. These labs use CAD/CAM systems, high-precision manufacturing devices, and biocompatible materials.

 

Why is it important? Laboratories with quality and technological infrastructure ensure that restorations are produced with perfect fit and aesthetics. This helps patients achieve long-lasting and natural-looking results. Minimal prep technology, with the integration of these components, provides highly aesthetic and functional restorations while preserving the natural structure of the teeth. These methods increase patient satisfaction and make treatment processes more efficient.

    Wow !!! I’ve literally just had my new smile, I’m over the moon! Had a lot of work done to get the smile I’ve wanted for years but the whole team at Dentalays have been amazing! Can’t thank them enough. Every visit I was made to feel relaxed, informed of everything that was going to take place (most of which through a brilliant translator, who was with my every step of the way) I’d highly recommend Dentalays if you’re thinking about cosmetic treatments.

    Dentalays Clinic is like home!!! Not only are our smiles beautiful and important to the entire staff! But who we are and what kind of people we are! I felt at home! Very warm atmosphere! In such a short time I got to know each of them very well! We are not just clients there, but they give everyone a lot of warmth and care! They want to get to know us. Which for me is very beautiful! Being there you will not lack anything! No matter how difficult the procedure you are going through, you receive a lot of support and care! Another thing that is important to me is that each of them does it with passion. The entire procedure must be done perfectly, every imperfection is corrected! We do not feel like a piggy bank! Because for them money is really secondary! The most important thing for the clinic is our well-being and health and satisfaction with the procedure performed! Nothing is done in a hurry and without discussing it with you or the Doctor! I loved these people and I know that I will go back there to spend some time with them! They are my second home and I know that I can always count on them! There are few people with such a good heart these days!

    DENTALAYS I love you! Thank you for everything and I miss you already! Now I know that with a smile like the one you gave me I will find my HUSBAND 😂
    See you soon ❤️❤️❤️
