Orthodontic treatment corrects crowded teeth and jaw discrepancies with braces or other appliances. In the TDB tariff, orthodontic fees are set by the type of malocclusion using the "Angle classification". Below are the orthodontic items in the Turkish Dental Association (TDB) 2026 fee tariff.
The fees on this article are taken from the Turkish Dental Association (TDB) 2026 fee tariff and are for guidance only. Please call us for information about our clinic's current prices, corporate agreements and payment options.

The Angle classification describes the position of the upper and lower jaws relative to each other:
- Class I (40,910.00 TL): The jaw relationship is normal; the problem is mostly crowding or spacing of the teeth.
- Class II (51,395.00 TL): The upper jaw and teeth are ahead of the lower jaw (a retruded lower jaw).
- Class III (62,675.00 TL): The lower jaw is ahead of the upper jaw.
For lingual braces, which are bonded to the inner surface of the teeth and are not visible from outside, the fee for Class I is 41,965.00 TL (including VAT).

Frequently Asked Questions
Which class does my treatment fall into?
This is determined after the examination, orthodontic records and a cephalometric X-ray. The appearance of the teeth alone does not determine the class.
Is retention necessary after treatment?
Yes. Teeth tend to move back after treatment; without a retainer the result may not last.
Can adults have braces?
Yes. If teeth and gums are healthy, orthodontic treatment can be done in adults too. Gum disease is treated first if present.
