SmartClip braces in İstinye Dental Hospital
About the clinic
SmartClip braces at İstinye Dental Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, provide a modern way to straighten teeth using self-ligating technology. This JCI-accredited facility is part of the MLPCARE group and serves as the teaching hospital for İstinye University. The orthodontics department uses 3D imaging and digital scanning to plan every step of the tooth movement.
Advanced Orthodontic Technology
The hospital uses heat-activated wires to move teeth into position. These wires react to your body heat to apply a steady, gentle force. This often results in faster treatment times compared to traditional braces. Patients also report less discomfort during the process. The clinic uses digital scanning instead of messy traditional molds. This technology creates a precise 3D map of your mouth for better bracket placement.
Customized Treatment Options
While SmartClip uses metal brackets, the hospital offers a variety of materials to suit different lifestyles. Patients can choose from several fixed and removable options:
- Metal brackets for reliable and cost-effective correction.
- Ceramic brackets which are transparent and less visible.
- Lingual brackets placed on the back of the teeth for total discretion.
- Clear aligners for those who prefer removable trays.
The orthodontist bonds these brackets to the teeth and connects them with a specialized archwire. Periodic visits allow the doctor to change or tighten the wire as the teeth move. Rubber bands may also help align the upper and lower jaw.
Expert Orthodontic Team
The department features a large team of specialists, including Prof. Dr. Mehmet Alp Tavas. Prof. Dr. Tavas has over 45 years of experience in orthodontics and malocclusion treatment. He earned his PhD from the University of Manchester and has taught in Malaysia, Jordan, and Qatar. He works alongside Asst. Prof. Dr. Begüm Aslan, who holds a PhD from Yeditepe University. Asst. Prof. Dr. Büşra Ersoy also provides specialized care within the department.
Support for International Patients
İstinye Dental Hospital belongs to the İstinye University Faculty of Dentistry. This affiliation helps the clinic follow the latest academic protocols. International patients have access to translation services to make communication easy. Once the braces are removed, the hospital provides retention treatments. These retainers help keep your teeth in their new positions for years to come.
