Orthodontics (Ortodonti) moves teeth with braces or clear aligners. Unlike veneers or implants, it takes many months and needs regular check-ups. If you start in Türkiye, ask how those check-ups will happen: video calls, return visits or a dentist in the UK.
The orthodontists below have completed specialist training at Turkish universities. Our top pick, an implant dentist, is listed first as our overall choice; for braces, look at the specialists.

Common questions
Can I have braces in Turkey and finish in the UK?
Sometimes, but a UK orthodontist may not take over treatment they did not plan. Agree the follow-up plan before you start.
Are aligners done by orthodontists in Turkey?
Both orthodontists and general dentists offer aligners. A specialist title (Uzm. Dt., Ortodonti) shows formal training.
