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
