Clear Aligners in Turkey | Dent Health Istanbul (Orthero & Invisalign)
What are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a modern, nearly invisible alternative to traditional braces, designed to straighten teeth and correct misalignment. Made from transparent, medical-grade plastic, clear aligners are custom-fitted trays that gradually shift teeth into their optimal position. At Dent Health Istanbul, we offer two of the most trusted brands in clear aligners: Invisalign and Orthero. These aligners are popular for their discreet appearance, comfort, and convenience, making them an ideal choice for both teens and adults seeking a straighter smile without metal brackets or wires.
Clear aligners are effective for treating a wide range of dental issues, including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Unlike traditional braces, they are removable, allowing for easy eating, drinking, and brushing. Patients experience improved comfort and aesthetics, making clear aligners an excellent choice for those looking for a seamless orthodontic solution.

Can I track my aligner progress remotely after returning home?
Yes. Dent Health Istanbul offers remote monitoring for aligner patients. After your initial fitting, you can send progress photos via WhatsApp at scheduled intervals, and our orthodontists will review your alignment and advise on aligner changes. This reduces the need for frequent in-person visits while ensuring your treatment stays on track.
Do clear aligners affect speech?
Most patients experience a very mild lisp during the first 1–2 days of wearing new aligners, but this disappears quickly as your tongue adapts. Clear aligners are designed to be thin and smooth, minimising any interference with speech. Within a week, the vast majority of patients speak completely naturally with their aligners in.
Can I play sports or exercise with clear aligners?
Yes. Clear aligners are safe to wear during most sports and physical activities. For contact sports, we recommend using a protective mouthguard over your aligners. Unlike traditional braces, there are no brackets or wires that could cut your mouth during impact. This makes aligners an excellent choice for active individuals.
What happens if I lose or damage an aligner?
Contact our team immediately. In most cases, you can temporarily wear your previous aligner set until a replacement is ready. Because your aligner sets are digitally manufactured, producing a replacement is straightforward. We keep your complete digital treatment plan on file, so replacements can be arranged quickly — even if you’re back in your home country.

Our orthodontists evaluate each young patient’s dental development to determine the ideal timing and approach for treatment.
