Orthodontic treatment improves tooth alignment and bite function. Many patients start orthodontics for aesthetic reasons, but alignment also affects long-term tooth wear, jaw comfort, and how easy teeth are to clean.
At MedMedicals in Istanbul, orthodontic planning is based on a structured assessment of your bite and goals. You can ask freely about options and combinations, and we will advise what is realistic and medically appropriate for your case.
Orthodontic treatment can:
Straighten crowded or spaced teeth
Improve bite alignment (overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite)
Reduce uneven wear caused by poor contact points
Improve smile symmetry and hygiene access
Orthodontics does not:
Replace gum treatment if you have active gum disease
Fix heavily damaged teeth without restorative work
Automatically solve jaw pain that has other causes (evaluation matters)
In many cases, orthodontics is part of a sequence, gums first, then alignment, then cosmetic restorations if desired.
Tell us what you want to improve, straighter teeth, bite correction, or preparation for crowns or implants. We will outline the best next step.
To speed up your evaluation, include:
Your main concern (crowding, spacing, bite issue, relapse after braces)
Any jaw clicking or discomfort (if present)
Whether you have missing teeth, crowns, or implants
Any recent X-ray or dentist notes (if available)
Your travel window and whether you live abroad long-term
Main goal: alignment and bite correction
Options: braces or clear aligners (case dependent)
Timeline: varies widely, confirmed after assessment
Follow ups: required during active treatment
Retention: essential after alignment to prevent relapse
Braces can be effective for a wide range of bite and alignment issues, including more complex cases. They are fixed and do not rely on daily patient wear compliance.
Aligners can be a discreet option for selected cases. Results depend heavily on wearing aligners consistently and following the schedule.
The best option depends on your bite, goals, and how predictable the plan needs to be.
We evaluate bite, tooth position, gum health, and any issues that must be treated first.
We confirm whether braces or aligners are the better fit, and outline the likely timeline.
You attend scheduled checks and adjustments, and we monitor progress.
After alignment, retainers are used to keep the result stable. Skipping retention is a common reason results relapse.
Orthodontics can be done with international patients, but planning must be realistic because it requires follow-ups.
We can discuss:
Whether a treatment plan is realistic with fewer in-person visits
Whether aligners are suitable for remote monitoring in your case
How often you should plan to return for checks
Flights, hotels, and transfers are not included. If you want, we can arrange hotel and transfer options as an add-on, quoted separately.
Structured bite assessment and realistic timelines
Clear sequencing with gum care or restorations when needed
Transparent pricing and plan explanation
