Treatment
Comprehensive ортодонтски treatment for all ages — from traditional metal braces to invisible aligners — with digital planning and remote monitoring for международни пациенти.
About the treatment
Orthodontics is the dental specialty dedicated to diagnosing and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth are more than a cosmetic concern — they create hard-to-clean areas that increase the risk of cavities and заболяване на венците, contribute to uneven емайл wear, and can place excessive stress on the челюстна ставаs. Orthodontic treatment brings the teeth, lips, and jaws into proper alignment, improving both the function and appearance of вашата усмивка. Today's patients can choose from several proven systems. Traditional metal braces remain the most versatile option, capable of correcting even severe crowding, rotations, and complex bite problems. They are smaller and more comfortable than they were a decade ago, and coloured elastic ties make them popular with younger patients. Ceramic braces use в цвета на зъба or clear brackets that blend with the емайл, offering a more discreet alternative while retaining the precision of fixed appliances. For patients who want a virtually invisible solution, clear aligners — the most recognised brand being Invisalign — use a series of индивидуално изработен, removable trays that gradually shift the teeth into position. Each set of aligners is worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. Because they are removable, eating, brushing, and flossing carry on as normal. В BestDent, we use 3D digital scanning (no messy impressions) and advanced treatment simulation software so you can see a digital preview of your final result before you commit. Lingual braces are another discreet option. These индивидуално изработен brackets are bonded to the back (tongue side) of the teeth, making them completely invisible from the outside. They are particularly popular with adult professionals and public-facing individuals who need effective fixed treatment without any visible hardware. For международни пациенти, ортодонтскиs has traditionally required frequent in-person visits — but technology has changed that. BestDent now offers remote monitoring through a dedicated app: you take guided photographs of вашите зъби at set intervals, and your orthodontist reviews your progress remotely, adjusting your план за лечение as needed. This reduces the number of in-person visits required, making ортодонтски treatment in Istanbul practical even for patients living abroad. Initial fitting and periodic milestone appointments are scheduled in person, while routine progress checks happen from the comfort of your home. Whether the case involves a teenager with crowded teeth or an adult preparing for veneers who needs alignment first, ортодонтски treatment lays the foundation for a healthy, lasting smile. В BestDent, every план за лечение is designed by a specialist orthodontist using digital tools — from the initial 3D scan to the final retention protocol.

Процес на Лечение
Initial Consultation and Records
Your orthodontist carries out a thorough clinical examination and captures a full set of digital records: 3D intraoral scans, panoramic and cephalometric X-rays, and facial and intraoral photographs. These records provide a complete picture of вашите зъби, bone structure, and facial proportions — the foundation of an accurate план за лечение.
Digital Treatment Planning and Simulation
Using the scanned data, your orthodontist designs a step-by-step movement plan in specialised software. For aligner patients, this produces a 3D animation showing exactly how вашите зъби will move from start to finish. For braces patients, bracket positions and wire sequences are mapped digitally. You review and approve the plan before treatment begins.
Appliance Fitting
Brackets are bonded to the teeth using dental adhesive, or your first set of custom aligners is delivered. Lingual brackets are fabricated on a model of вашите зъби for a precise fit on the inner surfaces. The initial fitting appointment typically takes 60–90 minutes, and you leave with detailed instructions on care, cleaning, and what to expect in the first week.
Active Treatment and Adjustments
For braces, adjustment appointments are scheduled every four to six weeks to change archwires, add elastics, or make positional refinements. For aligners, you switch to a new tray every one to two weeks according to your plan. BestDent's remote monitoring system allows your orthodontist to track progress between visits through guided photo submissions, reducing unnecessary trips to the clinic.
Mid-Treatment Review
Approximately halfway through treatment, a full set of updated records is taken and compared against the original plan. This checkpoint confirms that teeth are moving as predicted and allows your orthodontist to make any refinements. For complex cases, a mid-course correction ensures the final result matches the approved simulation.
Appliance Removal
Once вашите зъби have reached their target positions, braces are carefully debonded and any residual adhesive is polished away. Aligner patients simply stop wearing trays. Your teeth are professionally cleaned and polished, and a fresh set of records is taken to document the completed result.
Retention Phase
Retention is the most important step for дългосрочен stability. A thin, bonded wire retainer is placed behind the предни зъби (upper, lower, or both) to hold them in their new positions. You also receive a set of removable clear retainers to wear at night. Your orthodontist provides a retention schedule and monitors compliance at проследяване visits.
Long-Term Follow-Up
BestDent schedules periodic контролен прегледs at three months, six months, and one year after treatment to verify that the teeth remain stable. For международни пациенти, remote photo reviews replace in-person visits where appropriate. If any minor shifting is detected early, a short course of aligner refinement can correct it before it becomes a larger issue.
Често Задавани Въпроси
How long does ортодонтски treatment typically take?
Most cases are completed within 12 to 24 months, though mild crowding may be corrected in as little as 6 months with aligners. Complex cases involving significant bite correction can take up to 30 months. Your orthodontist will give you a realistic timeline during the planning stage based on your specific situation.
Is ортодонтски treatment painful?
You can expect some pressure and mild soreness for three to five days after braces are placed or after each adjustment. This is a normal sign that teeth are moving. Over-the-counter pain relief and a soft diet during those days are usually all that is needed. Most patients say the discomfort is far less than they anticipated.
Am I too old for braces?
Not at all. There is no upper age limit for ортодонтскиs as long as the teeth and gums are healthy. Adult ортодонтскиs has grown significantly, and many of our patients в BestDent are in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. Discreet options like clear aligners and lingual braces make treatment practical at any stage of life.
What is the difference between Invisalign and traditional braces?
Invisalign uses a series of removable clear trays, making them nearly invisible and easy to clean. Traditional braces use fixed brackets and wires, which give the orthodontist more direct control over complex tooth movements. Both achieve excellent results — the best choice depends on the complexity of your case and your lifestyle preferences.
How often will I need to visit the clinic during treatment?
Braces patients typically visit every four to six weeks for adjustments. Aligner patients may need in-person visits less frequently, especially with remote monitoring. BestDent's international patient protocol is designed to minimise trips to Istanbul — routine progress is tracked remotely, with in-person visits reserved for key milestones.
What are lingual braces and who are they suitable for?
Lingual braces are custom brackets bonded to the inner surfaces of вашите зъби, making them completely invisible from the outside. They are ideal for adults who need the precision of fixed braces but cannot or prefer not to have visible appliances. They require a specialist skill set, which is why they are placed by опитен orthodontists.
Will I need to wear a retainer after treatment?
Yes — retention is essential. Without it, teeth naturally tend to drift back towards their original positions. BestDent provides both a bonded wire retainer and removable clear retainers. Most patients wear the removable retainer nightly for the first year and then a few nights per week дългосрочен.
Can ортодонтскиs fix my bite as well as straighten my teeth?
Absolutely. Correcting the bite — overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite — is a core part of ортодонтски treatment. Proper подравняване на захапката protects вашите зъби from uneven wear, reduces челюстна става stress, and improves chewing efficiency. In some cases, bite correction also noticeably improves facial profile and symmetry.
How does remote monitoring work for международни пациенти?
You download a dedicated app and take a guided set of photos of вашите зъби at scheduled intervals — usually every two weeks. Your orthodontist reviews the images and sends feedback, instructions, or aligner change confirmations directly through the app. If an issue is spotted, an in-person visit is arranged promptly.
Can I get ортодонтски treatment combined with other dental work?
Yes, and it is often recommended. For example, aligning teeth before placing veneers or crowns produces a far better cosmetic result. Orthodontics can also be coordinated with implant planning to create the ideal space for a future implant. В BestDent, your orthodontist collaborates with other specialists to ensure every treatment step supports the overall plan.
