Overview
Braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into a healthier, straighter position. They are a proven, effective solution for crowding, gaps and bite problems, with discreet tooth-coloured ceramic options available.
Benefits
- Effective for complex alignment and bite issues
- Metal or discreet ceramic options
- Proven, reliable orthodontic results
- Improves both oral health and appearance
Who is this treatment for?
Usually suitable
- Complex crowding, rotations and bite problems that aligners cannot move reliably
- Patients who accept 12–24 months of treatment and regular adjustment appointments
- Teenagers and adults with healthy gums and good daily cleaning
Needs assessment first
- Untreated gum disease or decay, since brackets make cleaning harder and accelerate existing damage
- A marked skeletal discrepancy, which may need jaw surgery alongside the braces
- Anyone travelling from abroad who cannot come back for adjustments, because this is not a one-trip treatment
Final suitability is decided by your consultant after examination and imaging in Istanbul.

Risks and an honest expectation
The commonest real damage is white spot decalcification and decay around the brackets, and it comes from poor cleaning rather than from the braces themselves. Ulcers, wire irritation and tenderness after every adjustment are expected. Some degree of root shortening occurs in most patients and usually has no clinical consequence, but gum recession and relapse without a retainer are genuine long-term risks. Cleaning is coached at every visit, fluoride is applied, progress is checked remotely between appointments, and the treatment closes with a written retainer plan.
