Yasin Erdem Akg\u00fcl. I was born in Istanbul in 1986. With my long-standing knowledge and experience in the fields of dentistry and orthodontics, I aim to provide my patients with the best treatment services.\r\n<\/p><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]\r\n<h3>Education and Academic Career<\/h3>\r\n[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"pix-el-text w-100   vc_custom_1727463857176\" ><p class=\"text-20  text-body-default  \" >\r\nI started my education at Atak\u00f6y Primary School and completed my high school education at Dede Korkut Anatolian High School. My interest in dentistry began by watching my elder brothers, who are also dentists, and turned into a professional career when I graduated from Istanbul University \u00c7apa Faculty of Dentistry in 2010.\r\n<\/p><\/div><div class=\"pix-el-text w-100   vc_custom_1727463861564\" ><p class=\"text-20  text-body-default  \" >\r\nAfter my graduation, in 2011, I began my specialization in the Department of Orthodontics at Sel\u00e7uk University Faculty of Dentistry, where I completed my doctoral studies. My doctoral thesis focused on &#8220;accelerated orthodontic treatment,&#8221; and I concentrated on innovative approaches in this field. During my academic career, I participated in many national and international congresses, delivering various oral and poster presentations. I continued my academic life as an Assistant Professor Doctor at Trakya University Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Orthodontics, but left after a two-year tenure.\r\n<\/p><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div id=\"img-a67dc2ee55c0019f318bcb1a6b224dd1\" class=\"pix-img-element d-inline-block \"  ><div class=\"animate-in d-inline-block\" data-anim-type=\"fade-in-up\" data-anim-delay=\"0\"><div class=\"pix-img-el    scale-inverse-sm text-left d-inline-block  w-100 rounded-10\"  ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"936\" height=\"1002\" src=\"https:\/\/dryasinakgul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Ortodontist-Dr.-Yasin-Erdem-Akgul.png\" class=\"pix-img-elem rounded-10\" alt=\"Image link\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dryasinakgul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Ortodontist-Dr.-Yasin-Erdem-Akgul.png 936w, https:\/\/dryasinakgul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Ortodontist-Dr.-Yasin-Erdem-Akgul-280x300.png 280w, https:\/\/dryasinakgul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Ortodontist-Dr.-Yasin-Erdem-Akgul-768x822.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; pix_particles_check=&#8221;&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1727464000902{margin-bottom: 0px !important;background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1727463993593{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;text-20&#8243;]\r\n<h3>Professional Experience<\/h3>\r\nSince the beginning of my professional career in 2010, I have focused on orthodontic treatments with clear aligners throughout my clinical experiences. Clear aligners provide an effective and comfortable treatment process, reducing my patients&#8217; aesthetic concerns. To ensure the spread and applicability of clear aligners in our country, I supported my colleagues in obtaining certification by organizing nearly 30 symposiums and conferences for four years. I participated in the clear aligner planning and development processes of companies such as Invisalign, Orthero, and Clearcorrect and still serve as a consultant. In 2018, after opening my own clinic in Istanbul, I expanded my service area by opening a second branch in Mu\u011fla Ortaca, followed by a third in Mu\u011fla Marmaris. In these clinics, we have established orthodontic teams providing digital orthodontic treatments, online consultations, and examination services.\r\n<h3>Memberships and Participation<\/h3>\r\nAs a member of the Turkish Orthodontic Society and the European Orthodontic Association, I keep up with the latest developments in orthodontics and maintain my professional knowledge. My membership in these associations allows me to stay in constant communication and collaboration with the international orthodontic community.\r\n<h3>Academic Publications and Works<\/h3>\r\nThroughout my academic career, I have shared my knowledge with colleagues by publishing numerous local and international articles in the field of orthodontics.\r\n<h3>Approach to Treatment<\/h3>\r\nIn orthodontic treatments, I aim to offer solutions tailored to my patients&#8217; specific needs. Since each patient&#8217;s dental structure and treatment requirements differ, I create personalized treatment plans and implement the most suitable solutions. I offer various treatment options for patients concerned with aesthetics and function, such as clear aligners, metal braces, and myobrace. Throughout the treatment process, I prioritize the comfort and satisfaction of my patients, using modern technology and innovative techniques. This allows me to complete the treatment process as quickly and effectively as possible, ensuring my patients achieve a healthy smile in the shortest possible time.\r\n<h3>Personal Interests<\/h3>\r\nIn addition to my professional life, I am interested in snowboarding, kite-surfing, and painting. My passion for the sea has deepened since moving to Mu\u011fla.\r\n<h3>Message to My Patients<\/h3>\r\nOrthodontic treatment is not only an aesthetic correction but also an important part of maintaining overall oral health. Dental and jaw disorders can lead to more serious health problems over time. Therefore, it is crucial not to neglect orthodontic treatment and address these issues at an early age. Throughout the treatment process, I will stay in constant communication with you and offer the best solutions tailored to your needs. I believe that by working together, we will achieve the best results for a healthy and beautiful smile. I invite you to our clinics and look forward to helping you take the first step toward a healthy smile. You can reach out to me with all your orthodontic questions and treatment needs, and find solutions in a professional and welcoming environment.\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space
