About the Treatment
What is Orthodontics?
Unfortunately, not everyone is born with straight teeth. At our clinic in Alanya, we offer a wide range of orthodontic services, including traditional braces, clear aligners, and other advanced treatments to help you achieve the smile you've always wanted.
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities. The goal of orthodontic treatment is to straighten teeth, correct bite issues, and improve overall oral function and aesthetics — typically achieved through braces or clear aligners (Invisalign).
Treatment Options
What are Dental Braces?
Dental braces are orthodontic devices that use brackets, wires, and bands to gradually move teeth into proper alignment. They are highly effective for treating a wide range of issues, from mild crowding to severe bite problems.
- Metal braces — the most common and affordable option
- Ceramic braces — tooth-coloured for a discreet appearance
- Lingual braces — fitted behind the teeth, completely hidden
- Self-ligating braces — use clips instead of elastic ties
Treatment Options
What are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners (such as Invisalign) are a series of custom-made, transparent plastic trays that gradually move teeth into the desired position. They offer a virtually invisible solution for straightening teeth without the use of brackets or wires.
- Nearly invisible — barely noticeable when worn
- Removable — easy to eat, drink and maintain oral hygiene
- Comfortable — smooth plastic with no sharp edges
- Custom-made — digitally designed for your exact case

Orthodontic Concerns
Crowded Teeth
When there is not enough space in the jaw for all teeth to fit normally, causing overlapping or twisting.
Spacing Issues
Gaps between teeth caused by missing teeth, small teeth, or habits that push teeth apart.
Overbite
When the upper front teeth overlap too far over the lower teeth, potentially causing wear and jaw pain.
Underbite
When the lower teeth protrude beyond the upper teeth, affecting chewing function and facial appearance.
Crossbite
When some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth, which can cause uneven jaw growth and wear.
Open Bite
When upper and lower teeth do not meet when the mouth is closed, often linked to tongue posture or habits.
Common Questions
FAQ — Orthodontics
Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of the case. On average, braces treatment takes 18–24 months, while clear aligners can achieve results in 6–18 months for mild to moderate cases. Your orthodontist will provide a personalised estimate after your assessment.
It is normal to experience mild discomfort for a few days after getting braces fitted or after each adjustment. Clear aligners may also cause temporary pressure when switching to a new tray. Over-the-counter pain relief can help manage any discomfort during the adjustment period.
Absolutely. There is no age limit for orthodontic treatment. Adults are actually one of the fastest-growing groups seeking braces and aligners. Clear aligners are especially popular with adults due to their discreet appearance, and at OD Clinic we treat patients of all ages.
Orthodontic treatment in Turkey, and specifically at OD Clinic in Alanya, is significantly more affordable than in Western Europe. You can save up to 60–70% compared to prices in the UK, Germany, or Scandinavia, while receiving the same high standard of care and technology.
No. For clear aligner treatments, all your trays can be prepared during your initial visit, and you progress through them at home.
