Straighten teeth with clear aligners or fixed braces — compare the visible trade-offs before you choose.
Orthodontics in Turkey starts from $1,200, typically 50-70% less than equivalent private care in the UK or US. Straighten teeth with clear aligners or fixed braces — compare the visible trade-offs before you choose.
The number of teeth involved, and whether any bone grafting or extractions are needed first, is the single biggest factor in final price.
Internationally recognised implant, crown or veneer brands cost more than unbranded alternatives, but are the standard reputable clinics use.
Prices in central Istanbul districts with high international patient volume can run slightly higher than smaller cities, reflecting overheads and demand.
Digital planning, in-house milling and guided surgery add to overheads but generally improve precision and reduce the number of separate visits needed.

*Ranges are approximate market orientation, gathered for comparison — not a guaranteed price from any specific provider. Your written quote confirms exact pricing for your case.
Aligners can, because trays are dispensed in batches and reviewed remotely. Fixed braces need regular in-person adjustment, so plan the review logistics before you start.
Indefinitely, at least at night. Relapse is the single most common orthodontic disappointment.
Prices vary by specific option — from $1,200 across this category, confirmed after your case is reviewed.
Not necessarily — a lower price can reflect lower overheads, or it can reflect skipped diagnostics, unbranded materials, or a thinner aftercare policy. Compare what's actually included, not just the headline number.
It shouldn't, if the clinic reviewed proper imaging beforehand — a fixed, written price confirmed remotely is a stronger signal of reliability than a price only finalised on arrival.
Prices can vary slightly by city, generally reflecting overheads and demand rather than a meaningful difference in care quality — compare specific quotes rather than assuming by city alone.
Late crowding of the lower front teeth is extremely common.
Bite problems cause wear that gets expensive to restore later.
Crowding is a hygiene issue before it is a cosmetic one.
Timelines here are measured in months of continuous wear, which makes it the one dental category where travel abroad needs careful planning.
| Sessions | Initial fitting plus periodic reviews |
|---|---|
| Time in Turkey | Initial 3-5 days, then remote monitoring or return visits |
| Recovery | Soreness for 3-5 days after each adjustment |
| Expected lifespan | Permanent with retainer compliance |
Clear aligners suit mild to moderate cases with remote monitoring; fixed braces handle complex movement more predictably.
