Clear aligner treatment is increasingly popular among international patients, and with proper planning, living abroad does not have to be a barrier. Here is what you can expect when pursuing aligner treatment through dental health tourism.
Initial Consultation and Scanning
During your first visit to Istanbul, your dentist will perform a comprehensive examination, take digital impressions of your teeth, and create a 3D treatment plan showing the predicted movement of your teeth at each stage. This typically takes one appointment.
Treatment at Home
Once your custom aligners are manufactured, they can be shipped directly to your home address. You will change aligners every one to two weeks according to your treatment plan. Progress is monitored remotely through photos and video consultations with your dentist.
Check-Up Visits
Depending on the complexity of your case, you may need to visit the clinic one or two additional times during treatment for adjustments, IPR (interproximal reduction), or attachment placement. These visits can be combined with holidays in Istanbul.
Retention Phase
After treatment is complete, you will need retainers to maintain your new smile. These can also be shipped to you. For patients who prefer in-person orthodontic care, traditional braces are available as an alternative. At Dent Health Istanbul, we have extensive experience treating international patients.
