25 min · Sabiha Gökçen AirportWhat it is
Clear aligners are a series of transparent, removable trays that move teeth a fraction of a millimetre each. Worn 20–22 hours a day and changed every one to two weeks, they straighten mild to moderate crowding and close small gaps without brackets or wires.
For international patients we plan the case from a 3D scan on your first visit, send the whole series to your home address, and monitor progress from photos you send every two weeks. Small gaps and edges left at the end are often finished with composite bonding.
- Why patients choose it
- Nearly invisible, removable for eating and brushing
- One clinic visit, aligners posted to you
- Remote photo monitoring every two weeks
- Combines with bonding or whitening at the end

- 3Day 2–3

Is it right for me?
Usually a good fit
- ✓Crowded or overlapping front teeth
- ✓Small to medium gaps
- ✓Teeth that moved after braces
- ✓Mild overbite or crossbite
Not ideal, or treated first
- –Severe bite problems or jaw discrepancies: fixed braces or surgery
- –Untreated gum disease
- –Anyone who will not wear them 20+ hours a day
- –Under 14 with baby teeth remaining
What can go wrong
Every treatment has risks. Here are the honest ones, and what we do about them.
Compliance
Aligners only work while worn. Less than 20 hours a day slows or stalls treatment; we see it in your photos and adjust the plan.
Refinements
Most cases need a short extra series at the end to perfect the result. It is included in the quote.
Relapse
Teeth drift back without retainers. Nightly retainer wear is for life, like after any orthodontics.
Lost aligner
Move to the next tray and tell us; a replacement is posted if needed.
Aftercare and how long it lasts
- Wear 20–22 hours a day, remove only to eat and brush
- Brush after meals before putting trays back
- Send photos every two weeks
- Retainers every night after treatment
Permanent with nightly retainer wear; retainers are replaced every few years.
Questions patients ask
How much are clear aligners in Turkey?
£[—] for a full case at Auradentis (indicative £1,200–2,500 in Turkey) versus £2,500–5,500 in the UK, with the whole series and refinements included.
How many times do I need to come to Istanbul?
Once for the scan, attachments and first aligners. Everything else is posted and monitored remotely. A return visit at the end is optional.
Is it Invisalign?
We use [brand] aligners made in [lab]; ask if you specifically want Invisalign and we will quote both.
Can aligners fix my bite?
Mild overbite and crossbite yes. Severe bite or jaw problems need fixed braces or a surgical plan; the scan tells us which.
What if a UK dentist needs to check my teeth during treatment?
You keep a copy of the plan and the simulation; any dentist can see where you are in the sequence.
