Invisalign cost in Turkey is the total fee for a custom clear aligner course, and at Mosdent in Istanbul it starts from €1,780 for a simple case on one arch and from €2,850 for a complex case, and it is a band rather than a sticker price: it moves with case complexity, the number of aligner sets your digital scan requires, treatment length, and whether refinement aligners are needed at the end. On outcomes, a systematic review of 15 trials covering 1,084 patients found no significant difference in treatment quality between aligners and fixed appliances in non-extraction cases, while fixed appliances controlled extraction cases better (PubMed 41127933). Your final quote is confirmed after examination.
- 01At Mosdent the published starting prices run from €1,780 for a simple case on one arch to €2,850 for a complex case; the figure for your case follows the digital scan.
- 02Cost tracks aligner count, not clinic marketing: the more movement a case needs, the more aligner sets it takes, so a mild correction needs far fewer trays than a complex one.
- 03Aligners are not automatically better: across 15 trials and 1,084 patients, quality and duration matched fixed appliances in non-extraction cases, while fixed appliances gave superior control where premolars were extracted (PubMed 41127933).
- 04The measurable aligner advantage is hygiene, not speed. A review of 14 studies, 8 pooled, found significantly lower plaque accumulation with clear aligners than with fixed appliances (SMD -1.58, PubMed 37635207).
- 05Retainers are part of the price, not an add-on. Refinement aligners and the post-treatment retainer are included in the Mosdent plan, and the retention phase carries the result.
Patients from the UK, Europe, the US and the Middle East travel to Istanbul for Invisalign treatment, and the reason is usually the price difference rather than a difference in the appliance itself.
At Mosdent in Bahçelievler, Istanbul, we have been providing expert orthodontic care since 1992. With doctorate-level orthodontists, modern 3D digital scanning technology, and a transparent pricing approach, we help international patients achieve their ideal smile, comfortably, safely, and affordably.
1. Invisalign Cost in Turkey
Aligner treatment in Turkey is generally priced below the UK, the USA and Western Europe, but the figure that matters is the one attached to your own case rather than a percentage. Aligner courses are priced by how much tooth movement is planned, which is why our own list is banded by case difficulty rather than by country.
Clear Aligner Prices at Mosdent
- Simple case, single arch: from EUR 1,780
- Simple case, both arches: from EUR 1,960
- Moderate case, single arch: from EUR 2,130
- Moderate case, both arches: from EUR 2,310
- Complex case: from EUR 2,850
These are starting figures from our own published price list. Prices elsewhere are set clinic by clinic and published national averages are gathered differently from one source to the next, so the comparison worth making is between two written quotes for the same plan, not between two headline numbers.
Important: At Mosdent, we never quote a low price to attract patients and then adjust it after arrival. Every Invisalign Turkey treatment plan is fully personalised, and your final cost is confirmed clearly before treatment begins.
Factors That Influence the Invisalign Price
The Invisalign price in Turkey is not one-size-fits-all. Several clinical and logistical factors influence your final cost:
Case Complexity
Mild cases with minimal crowding require fewer aligners and a shorter treatment timeline making them less expensive. Moderate to complex cases involving significant misalignment, bite corrections, or spacing issues require more aligners and a longer course of clear aligners in Turkey, increasing the total cost.
Number of Aligners Required
Each set of clear aligners is custom-manufactured based on a 3D digital scan of your teeth. The greater the movement required, the more aligner sets needed and the higher the overall cost of your Invisalign Turkey treatment.
Treatment Duration
Orthodontic treatment in Istanbul with Invisalign lasts as long as the planned movements need; without extractions, 15 trials found no significant duration difference from braces (PubMed 41127933). Longer treatment plans naturally involve more aligners, follow-up appointments, and potential refinements.
Refinements and Retainers
After your primary treatment is complete, refinement aligners may be needed to fine-tune the final result. Additionally, retainers are essential after any orthodontic treatment to maintain your new smile. At Mosdent, our treatment plans include post-treatment follow-up to ensure long-term success.
Clinic Experience and Technology
The expertise of your orthodontist and the technology used directly affect both the quality and cost of your Invisalign treatment in Istanbul. At Mosdent, we use advanced intraoral 3D scanners eliminating messy traditional impressions and our orthodontists hold doctoral degrees from accredited Turkish universities.
3. Why Invisalign Costs Less in Turkey and What Mosdent Includes
A common concern among international patients is: "If Invisalign Turkey is so much cheaper, is the quality really the same?" The answer is yes, and here's why the price is lower:
- Currency advantage: Turkey's lower cost of living and favourable exchange rates allow clinics to offer significantly reduced prices without compromising quality.
- Government support for dental tourism: Turkey actively promotes and supports health tourism, creating a competitive and high standard environment for international dental care.
- Lower overhead costs: Clinic operating costs in Istanbul are considerably lower than in London, New York, or Paris, and those savings are passed directly to patients.
- Same Invisalign technology and materials: The aligners used at Mosdent are the same internationally certified Invisalign system products, not cheaper substitutes.
Our international patients page covers how treatment is arranged for visitors from abroad.

5. How Does the Invisalign Treatment Process Work at Mosdent?
Whether you are a local patient or travelling for dental tourism in Turkey, the Invisalign process at Mosdent follows a clear, patient-focused pathway:
Step 1: Free Consultation & Assessment
Your journey begins with a comprehensive orthodontic consultation. Our specialist examines your teeth, reviews your dental and medical history, and assesses whether Invisalign is the right treatment for your case. Complex issues such as severe bite problems or missing teeth may require alternative solutions and we'll always guide you honestly.
Step 2: 3D Digital Scanning
Using an advanced intraoral scanner, we capture a precise digital model of your teeth, with no messy moulds. This scan forms the foundation of your personalised clear aligner treatment in Turkey and is submitted to the Invisalign lab for manufacturing.
Step 3: Digital Treatment Simulation
Before a single aligner is produced, we show you a digital simulation of how your teeth will move throughout treatment giving you a preview of your final smile. You approve the plan before we proceed.
Step 4: Aligner Fitting & Patient Training
Once your custom Invisalign aligners are ready (typically 1–2 weeks), your first set is fitted by our orthodontist. You'll receive full instructions on how to insert and remove your aligners, care for them, and maintain excellent oral hygiene throughout treatment.
Step 5: Progress Check-ups & Aligner Changes
You'll change to a new set of aligners every 1–2 weeks. Each set moves your teeth a small, planned step closer to their ideal position. Check-up appointments are scheduled every 6–8 weeks to monitor progress and make any adjustments. International patients can manage much of this remotely, with periodic clinic visits.
Step 6: Retention Phase
After treatment is complete, a retainer is fitted to maintain your results. This phase is just as important as the active treatment and is included in our patient care plan.
6. Invisalign vs Metal Braces in Turkey
Many international patients ask about the difference between Invisalign and traditional metal braces when planning teeth straightening in Turkey. Here's a quick comparison:
Aesthetics
Invisalign clear aligners are virtually invisible, ideal for adults and professionals who want to maintain their appearance during treatment. Metal brackets and wires are clearly visible on the teeth.
Comfort
Made from smooth, flexible plastic, Invisalign aligners cause minimal irritation to the cheeks and gums. Metal braces can occasionally cause soreness from brackets or wires.
Convenience
Invisalign aligners are fully removable, you can eat whatever you like, brush and floss normally, and even remove them for important events. Metal braces are fixed and require dietary restrictions throughout treatment.
Effectiveness
For mild to moderate cases, Invisalign in Turkey delivers excellent results. For more complex orthodontic needs, metal brackets may provide greater control over tooth movement. Your Mosdent orthodontist will recommend the most appropriate option after a full assessment.
Cost
Metal braces are generally the more affordable option. Invisalign cost in Turkey is higher than braces but still dramatically lower than the equivalent treatment in the UK, US, or EU.
7. Is Invisalign Right for You? Candidacy Guide
Invisalign treatment in Turkey is suitable for a wide range of patients. You may be a good candidate if you have any of the following:
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth (diastema)
- Mild to moderate overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- Teeth that have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment
- A desire to straighten your teeth without visible braces
- Fully erupted permanent teeth (adults and older teenagers)
- Good general oral health with no active gum disease or untreated cavities
Invisalign may not be appropriate if you have severe bite issues, missing teeth that need replacing first, or significant bone loss. In such cases, your Mosdent orthodontist may recommend combining Invisalign with other treatments, or suggest an alternative orthodontic approach.
Where teeth are missing, the replacement is usually planned first; our dental implant treatment page covers that stage.

Final Thoughts: Is Invisalign in Turkey Worth It?
If you are weighing up Invisalign cost in Turkey against treatment at home, the comparison worth making is between two written plans: how many aligner sets each one includes, how many refinement sets are covered, whether retainers are inside the fee, and how review appointments are handled once you are back home. Aligner treatment runs for months, so the follow-up arrangement matters as much as the opening figure.
Mosdent has been treating patients in Istanbul since 1992. An assessment can be arranged through our contact page, in person or by video call.
