Metal Braces Treatment in Istanbul (Traditional Orthodontic Braces)

Metal braces treatment is one of the most reliable orthodontic methods used to correct crooked teeth, bite irregularities and more complex dental alignment problems. Fixed orthodontic systems allow teeth to be moved gradually using controlled forces, guiding them into their ideal position. Because of this precision, metal braces are often preferred in cases involving significant misalignment or complex orthodontic conditions.

At Dentopol Dental Hospital, metal braces treatment in Istanbul is planned by specialist orthodontists at our clinics in Maltepe and Ümraniye. The treatment process begins with a detailed clinical examination, panoramic X-ray and, when necessary, cephalometric analysis. These diagnostic evaluations allow the orthodontist to assess tooth position, jaw relationships and the severity of the orthodontic problem before creating a personalised treatment plan.

For many patients living in the UK and across Europe, orthodontic care can be delayed due to high costs or long waiting lists. Orthodontic treatment planned in Istanbul can often begin sooner while still being carried out by experienced orthodontists. Patients who would like a preliminary assessment can share their existing dental X-rays with our team, or attend a complimentary orthodontic consultation at our Dentopol clinic in Hanau, Germany before travelling to Istanbul for treatment.

If you would like to explore whether traditional braces are suitable for your case, our orthodontic team can review your dental images and guide you through the available treatment options.

What Is Metal Braces Treatment?

Metal braces consist of small orthodontic brackets that are bonded to the front surface of the teeth. A thin archwire passes through these brackets and is periodically adjusted by the orthodontist to gradually move the teeth into their correct position.

Because the system is fixed, tooth movement is carefully controlled throughout the treatment process. This makes metal braces particularly effective in cases requiring precise orthodontic corrections.

Who Is Metal Braces Treatment Suitable For?

Individuals with severe tooth crowding or misalignment

Patients with bite irregularities or jaw relationship problems

Children and teenagers requiring orthodontic correction

Cases that require a fixed orthodontic system for predictable tooth movement

The most suitable orthodontic treatment method is determined following a detailed clinical examination by an orthodontic specialist.

Metal Braces Treatment Process

Clinical Examination and Radiographic Assessment

A full oral examination is performed together with a panoramic X-ray and, when required, cephalometric analysis to evaluate tooth and jaw structure.

Orthodontic Treatment Planning

Tooth alignment, jaw relationships and the severity of crowding are analysed to develop a personalised orthodontic plan.

Bracket Placement

Metal brackets are bonded to the tooth surfaces and orthodontic archwires are placed to begin the controlled movement of the teeth.

Regular Adjustment Appointments

Periodic visits allow the orthodontist to activate the wires, monitor progress and ensure tooth movement continues as planned.

Retention Phase

Once active orthodontic treatment is complete, retainers are used to maintain the new position of the teeth and prevent relapse.

Difference Between Metal Braces and Other Orthodontic Systems

Metal braces provide highly controlled orthodontic force, which allows them to treat a wide range of complex orthodontic cases. For this reason, they remain one of the most effective systems for correcting significant crowding and bite problems.

In cases where aesthetics are a primary concern, ceramic braces or clear aligner systems may be considered as alternatives. The most appropriate orthodontic system is determined after orthodontic evaluation and diagnostic analysis.

Braces Treatment for Children and Teenagers

Orthodontic treatment during adolescence can provide certain advantages because jaw growth and bone development are still ongoing. Treatment during this stage can help guide both tooth alignment and jaw development.

Early orthodontic evaluation is important, as it may help prevent more complex orthodontic problems later in life.

Metal Braces Costs in Istanbul

The cost of metal braces treatment can vary depending on the complexity of the orthodontic problem, the expected treatment duration, additional orthodontic appliances and the number of required follow-up appointments.

A precise treatment plan and cost estimate can only be determined after clinical examination and
radiographic assessment.

Many patients from the UK and across Europe choose Istanbul for orthodontic treatment because it allows them to start treatment sooner and often at a more accessible cost compared to many clinics across Europe.
