Clear aligner treatment straightens teeth with custom-made, removable clear trays that are changed at set intervals instead of braces. In the TDB tariff, clear aligner treatment is listed in three separate items by case difficulty: mild, moderate and severe. Below are the related 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.

What Affects the Cost?
- Case difficulty (mild, moderate, severe) and treatment length
- The number of aligners needed and the aligner brand
- Interproximal reduction or other auxiliary procedures
- Wearing the aligners long enough each day; otherwise treatment takes longer and extra aligners may be needed

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the aligner fee separate?
The clear aligner items in the TDB tariff cover the dentist's treatment service, and their names state "aligner fee excluded". Producing the aligners is a separate cost that varies with the case and brand.
How do I know if my case is mild or severe?
The dentist decides after the examination, digital scan and any X-rays. The amount of crowding and the distance the teeth need to move are decisive.
Are clear aligners suitable for everyone?
No. For some complex tooth movements and severe jaw discrepancies, braces may be more suitable. Aligners also need to be worn about 20-22 hours a day.
