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.

From the moment you walk in, all the staff and doctors are incredibly attentive. Doctors Aslı and Orkun were friendly, informative about every detail, and meticulously and patiently navigated the entire process. I've decided to proceed with all my procedures here.

We came in this morning because of a problem with my wife's teeth. Both the staff and our doctor, Aslı, were very attentive. The hospital has a clean environment and a very good pricing policy. We would definitely recommend it.

As a result of my postponements, I've begun a long-term treatment process at my beloved hospital. It's relatively new, spotlessly clean, and has a prime location. Thanks to them, the Dental Hospital, a valuable resource in the area, is now available. When I went for my first appointment, the friendly staff at the entrance were so helpful that it eased my pain. I can't write their names because of my astigmatism, so I can't read them. However, I've encountered different people with the same treatment each time. Thank you all. My first appointment with Aslı Tahmaz went very well. I'm incredibly grateful for her attentiveness and care. Thanks to Aslı, I'm continuing there. I felt in safe hands from the very first moment. Afterward, I had several appointments for root canal treatment, and everything went smoothly. She's a specialist who has instilled confidence in me since the first day. I believe I'll be able to solve the problems I've been struggling with for years with her. I'm so glad I met her. Of course, I owe a special thank you to Aslı's team, they're all exceptional. I hope to complete my treatment with Aslı and move forward with Mustafa Orkun. Orkun's energy is wonderful, and thanks to his calm and reassuring demeanor, I've decided to begin implant treatment, which I'd never even considered. I needed a tooth extracted, and Orkun performed the procedure. This is a very traumatic experience for me, and I was terrified, but even two hours after the procedure, I felt great. Thankfully, I'm no longer so afraid of extractions. My brother had a toothache and needed a root canal. Thanks to Aslı, his treatment was completed. Some might wonder how a hospital or dentist can be so highly praised. Having received regular dental treatment since I was 11 years old and having had numerous experiences, both good and bad, I felt compelled to write about the experience of encountering such an excellent team. I'm currently referring everyone in my circle, regardless of their condition, to at least get a consultation so everyone can experience the quality of this service. I'm incredibly grateful for the hard work of Aslı, Orkun, and, of course, the entire team.

"I am absolutely thrilled with the care I received from Dr. Cansu Ozcan. From the moment I stepped into the clinic, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. Dr. Cansu took the time to thoroughly assess my dental needs and explained every step of the treatment process in a way that made me feel completely at ease. The procedure itself was pain-free, and the results were outstanding. The clinic is modern, spotless, and comfortable, and the entire team is incredibly attentive and kind. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Cansu to anyone seeking high-quality dental care. Thank you for exceeding my expectations!"
