Dr. Dt. Büşra Kaya Yiğit – Expert Orthodontist in Ankara, Turkey

About Dr. Dt. Büşra Kaya Yiğit

Dr. Dt. Büşra Kaya Yiğit is a highly accomplished, research-driven orthodontist practicing at the prestigious Evrensel Dental Clinic in Kavaklıdere, Çankaya, Ankara. Born in Ankara in 1993, she has dedicated her extensive academic and professional career to mastering the intricacies of dental alignment, facial harmony, and modern orthodontic technologies. Graduating with high honors from the renowned Hacettepe University Faculty of Dentistry, she built a strong foundation in comprehensive dental care before pursuing advanced specialization. Her deep commitment to evidence-based practice culminated in a PhD in Orthodontics from Gazi University, where she focused heavily on cutting-edge digital dentistry and the biomechanics of clear aligners.

Dr. Kaya Yiğit’s specialized clinical focus centers on clear aligner therapy, functional orthodontic treatments, and adult orthodontics. She bridges the gap between aesthetic dental procedures and complex functional corrections, ensuring that patients not only achieve beautiful smiles but also maintain optimal oral health and proper jaw function. Her clinical philosophy is deeply rooted in continuous education; she actively participates in international orthodontic congresses and rigorously integrates the latest technological advancements into her daily practice at Evrensel Dental Clinic. By combining her passion for modern innovations—including artificial intelligence in treatment planning—with her refined clinical skills, Dr. Kaya Yiğit provides highly personalized, predictable, and comfortable orthodontic care tailored to patients from Turkey and international medical tourists alike.

Medical Expertise & Specializations

Dr. Dt. Büşra Kaya Yiğit operates at the forefront of digital and aesthetic orthodontics. Her doctoral research, specifically her thesis titled “Three-Dimensional Comparison of Planned and Achieved Maxillary Incisor Movements with Clear Aligners,” positions her as a highly knowledgeable specialist in digital orthodontic planning and execution. This academic focus means she deeply understands the predictability, biomechanical limitations, and clinical realities of moving teeth using transparent appliances. She does not merely utilize standard treatment protocols; rather, she customizes three-dimensional digital treatment plans to ensure that the actual clinical outcomes perfectly match the software-predicted results. This level of precision is critical for patients seeking efficient, effective, and visually appealing orthodontic solutions at Evrensel Dental Clinic.

Beyond traditional bracket-and-wire systems, Dr. Kaya Yiğit is passionate about integrating the principles of aesthetic dentistry into her orthodontic work. Her interest in artificial intelligence further enhances her ability to predict tooth movement trajectories, reduce treatment times, and foresee potential complications before they arise. Whether managing interceptive treatments for younger patients or complex adult malocclusions, her comprehensive, technology-driven approach ensures optimal functional and aesthetic results.

Conditions Treated

Dr. Kaya Yiğit expertly diagnoses and manages a wide spectrum of orthodontic and dentofacial anomalies. Through meticulous oral diagnosis and advanced imaging at Evrensel Dental Clinic, she addresses conditions that impact both the appearance of the smile and the health of the stomatognathic system:

• Adult Malocclusion: Correcting misaligned teeth in adult patients who seek discreet, effective treatments without the aesthetic interference of traditional metal braces. This includes treating relapses from previous childhood orthodontic interventions.
• Anterior Crowding & Spacing (Diastema): Addressing cases where teeth are clustered too closely together due to limited jaw space, or conversely, closing unwanted gaps between the maxillary (upper) and mandibular (lower) incisors to improve smile aesthetics.
• Overbites, Underbites, and Crossbites: Treating complex bite irregularities where the upper and lower arches do not align properly. Left untreated, these functional issues can lead to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discomfort, uneven tooth wear, and difficulties in mastication (chewing).
• Maxillary Incisor Protrusion: Specifically drawing on her specialized PhD research, she effectively treats cases where the upper front teeth flare outward, utilizing biomechanically sound clear aligner protocols to safely retract and align the teeth.
• Functional Jaw Discrepancies: Identifying and managing skeletal discrepancies in growing patients through functional orthodontic appliances, guiding jaw growth to prevent the need for more invasive surgical procedures later in life.

Procedures Performed

Operating out of the state-of-the-art Evrensel Dental Clinic, Dr. Kaya Yiğit provides an array of advanced, evidence-based orthodontic procedures tailored to the unique physiological and lifestyle needs of each patient:

• Clear Aligner Therapy (Invisalign): As a core pillar of her clinical practice, she designs custom series of transparent, removable aligners. Her advanced understanding of 3D planned versus achieved movements ensures highly predictable and efficient tooth realignment, offering a virtually invisible alternative to traditional braces.
• Adult Orthodontics: Providing sophisticated aesthetic procedures for mature patients. Dr. Kaya Yiğit integrates orthodontic alignment with broader cosmetic dentistry goals, preparing the dental arches for future restorative work such as veneers or smile design if required.
• Functional Orthodontic Treatments: Utilizing specialized oral appliances designed to correct skeletal imbalances by modifying the growth pattern of the jaws. These treatments are essential for improving facial harmony, airway function, and establishing a stable, functional bite.
• 3D Digital Orthodontic Treatment Planning: Utilizing advanced digital intraoral scanners and specialized software to map out the entire patient journey before treatment begins. This allows patients to visualize their final smile and enables Dr. Kaya Yiğit to calculate precise biomechanical forces.
• Aesthetic Orthodontic Procedures: Focusing on treatments that prioritize the visual harmony of the smile while correcting functional flaws. This involves careful consideration of the gum line (pink aesthetics), tooth proportions, and facial symmetry throughout the tooth-moving process.
