Braces in Izmir

What Are Fixed Braces?

Fixed braces use brackets and wires attached to the teeth to guide tooth movement. They remain in place throughout active treatment and can address a wide range of alignment and bite problems.

When Braces May Be Preferred

Braces may be recommended when the required tooth movements, bite correction or patient cooperation make a fixed appliance more predictable than removable aligners. The choice is diagnostic, not cosmetic only.

Compare options on our clear aligners in Izmir page or start with orthodontic assessment.

Treatment at the Clinic

Assessment, planning and supervision take place at Dr. Turkoglu Dental Clinic in Alsancak. After active treatment, retainers are normally required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are metal braces still used?

Yes. Conventional and aesthetic fixed appliances remain important options depending on the diagnosis. The most appropriate appliance depends on the diagnosis, the tooth and bite movements required, oral hygiene and patient preferences. Regular reviews are needed so treatment mechanics can be adjusted safely over time.

Can adults wear braces?

Yes. See adult orthodontics in Izmir . The most appropriate appliance depends on the diagnosis, the tooth and bite movements required, oral hygiene and patient preferences. Regular reviews are needed so treatment mechanics can be adjusted safely over time.
