Orthodontics is the dental specialty that corrects the position of teeth on the jawbone and their relationship to one another. Crowding, bite problems and jaw discrepancies can be treated with clear aligners or metal or ceramic brackets. Besides aesthetics, treatment aims to make teeth easier to clean, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease.
- There is no age limit for orthodontic treatment.
- Treatment usually takes between 8 and 24 months.
- With fixed brackets, avoiding hard and sticky foods is recommended.
- Clear aligners are removed for meals, so dietary restrictions are minimal.
- Cost is set after examination based on crowding, material and duration.
Smile aesthetics is a process that directly affects not only appearance but also a person's self-confidence and oral health. Today, crowded teeth, bite problems and jaw discrepancies can be treated successfully with modern orthodontic methods. In the heart of Istanbul, OptimaDent serves patients looking for orthodontic treatment in Üsküdar with up-to-date technology and an expert approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
We have gathered below the topics our patients most often ask about regarding orthodontics in Istanbul:
1. Is there an age limit for orthodontic treatment?
No, there is no age limit for orthodontic treatment. People of any age with healthy gums and bone structure can receive orthodontic treatment. However, in children, early diagnosis offers a great advantage for guiding jaw development.
2. How long does treatment take?
Although treatment time varies depending on the severity of the problem and the method used, it is usually completed in 8 to 24 months. Regular check-ups are the most important factor in speeding up the process.
3. What should you eat while wearing braces?
Patients with fixed brackets in particular are advised to avoid hard foods (nuts, hard apples, etc.) and sticky foods (chewing gum, caramel). With clear aligner treatment, the aligners are removed during meals, so dietary restrictions are minimal.
4. How is the cost of braces in Üsküdar determined?
Pricing is determined after examination based on the amount of crowding, the material to be used (metal, clear brackets, aligners) and the expected duration of treatment. In line with medical ethics, it is not appropriate to give an exact price without an examination.
