Orthodontic treatment is a specialised field of dentistry focused on correcting crooked teeth, gaps and bite irregularities. While many people associate orthodontics primarily with improving the appearance of a smile, its role extends far beyond aesthetics. Properly aligned teeth support balanced chewing function, help maintain long-term oral health and allow teeth to function in their correct anatomical position.

At Dentopol Dental Hospital, orthodontic treatments in Istanbul are planned by experienced orthodontists at our clinics located in Maltepe and Ümraniye. The treatment process begins with a detailed clinical assessment that typically includes a panoramic X-ray, and when necessary, cephalometric analysis and digital scanning. These diagnostic tools allow the orthodontist to evaluate tooth position, jaw relationship and the overall structure of the bite before designing a personalised treatment plan.

For many patients living in Europe or the UK, orthodontic care can involve long waiting lists and high treatment costs. Orthodontic treatment in Istanbul can often be started much sooner, while still being planned by experienced specialist dentists. Patients who wish to receive an initial opinion can share their existing dental X-rays for a preliminary assessment. Alternatively, orthodontic evaluations can be carried out at our Dentopol clinic in Hanau, Germany, where patients can attend a complimentary pre-consultation before travelling to Istanbul

If you would like to understand your treatment options or receive a preliminary assessment, our team can review your dental images and advise on the most suitable orthodontic approach.

Types of Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic treatment can be carried out using different systems depending on tooth position, jaw structure and the complexity of the alignment issue. The most commonly used orthodontic systems today include:

• Clear aligner systems (invisible aligners)
• Traditional metal braces (fixed brackets)
• Ceramic braces
• Growth-guiding orthodontic appliances for children

The most appropriate method is determined following clinical examination, radiographic analysis and digital measurements.

Crooked Teeth Treatment

Crooked or crowded teeth occur when teeth do not erupt in their ideal position within the jaw.
Beyond aesthetic concerns, misaligned teeth can make oral hygiene more difficult and may increase
the risk of gum problems over time.

Orthodontic treatment repositions the teeth into a healthier alignment, improving both the
appearance of the smile and the functional balance of the bite.

Who Is It Suitable For?

• People with visibly crowded front teeth
• Individuals experiencing bite imbalance while chewing
• Patients who find brushing and flossing difficult due to crowding
• Those seeking a straighter and more balanced smile

Orthodontic Treatment Costs in Istanbul

The cost of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the system used (clear aligners, metal braces
or ceramic brackets), the complexity of the orthodontic issue, treatment duration and whether
additional procedures are required.

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

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 significantly more accessible cost compared to
many European clinics.
