I came alone to get four very old veneers replaced and they’ve done an amazing job, I just finished Invisalign in the UK they also made me a new plastic retainer same day so my teeth don’t shift. For my appointments I was taken from and to my hotel do everything was effortless. I wouldn’t hesitate to go again for any future work.

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.

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.

She clarified all portion of the remedy evidently plus persistently, which generated me experience quite peaceful plus assured throughout the method. The center by itself is quite hygienic, modern, plus nicely structured. Health requirements are plainly a main objective. All of the personnel are kind, useful, plus inviting. Visit scheduling is hassle-free plus properly managed, with virtually absolutely no delay time.

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 🫡

What is an Orthodontic Retainer (And Why Is It Essential)?
An orthodontic retainer is a custom-made dental appliance designed to keep your teeth in their new, straight positions after your braces or Invisalign treatment is complete.
Why is it essential? Your teeth are held in your jawbone by ligaments that have "memory." After your braces are removed, these ligaments will try to pull your teeth back to their original, crooked positions. This is called orthodontic relapse. A retainer is the only thing that prevents this, ensuring your straight teeth retainer holds the new alignment permanently.
The Retainer Fitting Process in Turkey: Step-by-Step
The day your orthodontic treatment ends, your retention phase begins:
-
Debonding (If Applicable)
If you had traditional braces, we will remove all the brackets and wires and polish your teeth. If you had Invisalign, we would remove any attachments.
-
Digital Scanning
We immediately take a high-precision 3D digital scan of your newly straightened teeth.
-
Fabrication
- For Removable Retainers: The scan is sent to our lab. Your custom clear retainer (e.g., Essix or Vivera) is fabricated, often in just a few hours or by the next day.
- For Fixed Retainers: The dentist uses the scan to meticulously bend a thin, biocompatible wire to fit perfectly and discreetly behind your front teeth (usually the lower teeth retainer).
-
Fitting & Bonding
- For Removable: You will try on the new clear retainer. We check the fit and give you instructions on wear and care.
- For Fixed: The wire is permanently bonded to the back of each tooth using dental composite. You cannot see it from the front, and you can't remove it.
Orthodontic Retainer Types We Offer (Fixed vs. Removable)
We offer the two most effective and modern kinds of retainer for teeth:
Removable Clear Retainers (Essix / Vivera):
This is the most popular option. It is a clear, plastic tray that looks identical to an Invisalign aligner. It's custom-molded to fit your teeth perfectly. Vivera® is the official retainer brand from the makers of Invisalign.
Fixed Bonded Retainers (Permanent):
This is a thin, strong wire that is permanently bonded to the back of your front teeth (typically the bottom 4-6 teeth, as this is the most common area for relapse). This is an excellent bottom teeth retainer because you never have to remember to wear it.
Pros and Cons of Different Retainer Types
| Retainer Type | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Removable Clear (Essix/Vivera) | • Invisible (when worn) • Removable for eating & brushing • Easy to clean teeth • Covers chewing surfaces (good for grinders) |
• Compliance is 100% up to you (if you don't wear it, teeth move) • Can be lost or broken • Needs replacement every 1-3 years |
| Fixed Bonded (Permanent) | • Works 24/7 (cannot forget) • Completely invisible from the front • Excellent for high-relapse areas (lower front teeth) |
• Difficult to clean (requires floss threaders) • Can trap plaque if not cleaned well • Wire can sometimes break or a bond can come loose |
Many patients choose a combination: a fixed retainer on the bottom and a removable retainer on the top.
Who Needs a Retainer? (Everyone!)
This is the simplest question to answer. Every single patient who has completed orthodontic treatment (braces or Invisalign) needs a teeth retainer after braces. There are no exceptions. Without a retainer, your teeth will begin to shift back, sometimes within weeks.
Why Get Your Teeth Retainer from Dentalays in Turkey?
- Protect Your Investment: You've come to Turkey for affordable, high-quality treatment. Don't let it go to waste. We provide the highest quality retainers to protect your new smile.
- Advanced Technology: We use 3D digital scanners, not goopy putty impressions, to create a perfectly precise digital model for your retainers.
- Premium Materials: We offer durable Essix retainers as well as premium Vivera® brand retainers (from Invisalign) for the best fit and longevity.
- Affordable Replacements: The cost of teeth retainer replacements in Turkey is incredibly low. If you lose or break your retainer back home, you can plan a quick trip to Antalya for a replacement at a fraction of the UK/USA price.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much does a replacement retainer cost in Turkey?
The teeth retainer fee for a replacement clear (Essix) retainer is typically €80 - €150 per arch. A replacement fixed (bonded) retainer is around €100 - €200.
How long do I have to wear my retainer?
Your orthodontist will give you a specific plan, but the universal rule is: "Nighttime for a lifetime." You will likely wear it full-time for 3-6 months, then only at night, forever.
What happens if I stop wearing my retainer?
Your teeth will move. This is called orthodontic relapse. Your straight smile will become crooked again.
What's the best retainer for my bottom teeth?
Most orthodontists, including ours, highly recommend a fixed bonded retainer for the lower teeth retainer. This area is the most likely to relapse and become crowded again.
I didn't have braces, can I get a retainer to straighten my teeth?
No. A straight teeth retainer holds straight teeth in place; it does not move crooked teeth. If you want to straighten your teeth, you need orthodontic treatment like braces or Invisalign first.
How do I clean a fixed retainer?
You must use a floss threader or interdental brush to clean between the teeth under the wire every day. It requires extra care to prevent plaque buildup.
How long does a removable clear retainer last?
With proper care, an Essix or Vivera retainer will last 1-3 years before it may need to be replaced due to wear.
What are the main teeth retainer types?
The two main types are Removable (a clear plastic tray like Essix/Vivera, or a wire Hawley) and Fixed (a permanent wire bonded behind your teeth).
How long does it take to get my retainer made in Turkey?
Once your braces are off, we scan you. The final removable retainer is usually ready within 24-48 hours. A fixed retainer is placed in a single 30-60 minute appointment.
What's the difference between an Essix retainer and a Vivera retainer?
They are both clear, removable retainers. Essix is a generic, high-quality material. Vivera is the specific brand of retainer made by Invisalign, known for being very durable and fitting precisely based on your final Invisalign scan.
