Turkish expatriate patients often choose Türkiye for orthodontic treatment due to the high-standard dental services and cost advantages offered in the country. However, since classic fixed braces require regular check-ups every 4-6 weeks, it is logistically very difficult for expatriate patients to undergo treatment with traditional metal brackets. The ideal solution here is the clear aligner technology (Invisalign, etc.) offered by digital dentistry. When the patient arrives in Türkiye, measurements are taken using digital intraoral scanners, and the entire treatment plan is prepared in 3D. The entire series of aligners the patient will use can be produced in bulk and delivered to the patient. While in their own country, the patient changes their aligners themselves at the specified intervals and can successfully manage their treatment without interruption through remote check-ups with their doctor via special software or online consultations using “Tele-Dentistry”.
How is the orthodontic treatment process planned in Türkiye for patients living abroad or traveling frequently?
