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

How it works

  1. 1

    Orthodontic assessment

    X-rays and scans plan your tooth movements.

  2. 2

    Fitting

    Brackets and wires are placed and adjusted.

  3. 3

    Adjustments

    Periodic adjustments guide your teeth into position.

  4. 4

    Retention

    A retainer maintains your final result.

Aftercare & long-term tips

Keep braces and teeth very clean, avoid hard or sticky foods, and wear your retainer afterwards to hold the result.

1

First 24 hours

Stick to soft, lukewarm foods and drinks; avoid very hot or hard items while any numbness or sensitivity settles.

2

First few days

Ease back into normal eating as sensitivity fades — usually within a few days.

3

Long term

Eat normally and protect your result with the simple habits below.

Do

  • Brush twice a day and floss daily
  • Attend your regular check-ups and cleanings
  • Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth
  • Keep the area clean and rinse as advised

Avoid

  • Biting very hard objects — ice, pen lids, shells
  • Opening bottle or soda caps with your teeth
  • Too many hard nuts or sticky, chewy sweets
  • Smoking and staining drinks in the first days

Frequently asked questions

Dental Braces

How long do braces take?+

Typically 12–24 months depending on the case.

Braces or aligners?+

Braces handle complex cases well; aligners are more discreet. We advise the best fit.

Do braces hurt?+

Mild soreness after adjustments is normal and short-lived.

Are ceramic braces less visible?+

Yes — tooth-coloured brackets are far more discreet than metal.

Is the treatment painful?+

It is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you feel pressure but little to no pain. Most patients report only mild, short-lived sensitivity afterwards.

How soon can I eat normally?+

Stick to soft, lukewarm foods for the first 24 hours, then ease back into normal eating as any sensitivity settles — usually within a few days.

How long will the results last?+

With good daily care and regular check-ups, high-quality results typically last many years; your dentist gives you a tailored estimate.

Is dental treatment in Turkey safe?+

Yes — at an accredited clinic with named specialists, strict hygiene and quality materials, treatment is safe. We are TEMOS and ISO accredited and Ministry of Health approved.
