Çağla Su Doğangün Ayduk, DDS is an orthodontist in the Dental & Oral Health unit at Acibadem Kent Hospital (Izmir) in İzmir. Her professional focus is orthodontic care, including the assessment of dental alignment and bite-related concerns, together with general oral and dental health. She has more than nine years of experience in dentistry and works with both local and international patients.

Dr. Ayduk graduated from Ege University Faculty of Dentistry in 2017. She went on to complete a doctorate in Orthodontics at Ege University Health Sciences Institute in 2024. Her clinical experience includes work at Pearly Oral and Dental Health Polyclinic between 2022 and 2024 and at Bayındır Dental Clinic in 2024. She joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services in 2025 and now provides care at the hospital in İzmir.

Clinical focus

Dr. Ayduk’s main area of practice is orthodontics. This includes the evaluation of tooth position, dental alignment and the way the upper and lower teeth meet, as well as the identification of bite-related concerns that may benefit from orthodontic treatment. Each patient is assessed individually, since the suitability of a given orthodontic approach depends on the person’s dental development, oral health and treatment goals.

Her work also covers broader oral and dental health, dental assessment and treatment planning. After an initial assessment, she prepares a treatment plan tailored to the individual patient’s needs and explains the proposed steps, the expected duration and the alternatives where relevant. Follow-up care is an integral part of her practice, as orthodontic treatment typically requires regular reviews so that progress can be monitored and the plan adjusted if necessary. Dr. Ayduk discusses the possible benefits and limitations of each option so that patients can make informed decisions about their care.

How Dr. Ayduk works with international patients

Dr. Ayduk consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as dental X-rays, panoramic images, CT reports, laboratory results and notes from previous dental or orthodontic treatment, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination of the teeth, jaws and bite, and a discussion of the available options and what each would involve. Video consultation is available for international patients, which can be helpful for an initial review of a case or for follow-up discussions after treatment has started. Any recommendations made remotely are confirmed through in-person examination where this is clinically appropriate.
