    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 🫡

Everything was detailed and clearly explained, so I never questioned that I was receiving top-notch care. The team makes you feel valued and truly goes the extra mile to keep you completely at ease during your smile transformation. I can't express enough gratitude for restoring my smile. I strongly recommend dental ays.

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?

You are an ideal candidate for dental braces Turkey if you:

  • 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.
