ORTHODONTICS / DENTAL APPLIANCES
Correcting dental dysfunction and restoring smile harmony

What is orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a distinct branch of dentistry dedicated to the study and treatment of dental and jaw abnormalities, with an emphasis on correcting tooth alignment and improving facial harmony. At Dental Sense, specialists in the Orthodontics and Maxillofacial Orthopedics branch are dedicated to correcting problems caused by dislocated teeth, malocclusions, and other dentofacial discrepancies, in order to improve the functionality and aesthetics of the dentofacial system. By utilizing modern imaging technologies, such as CBCT radiographs and digital scans, Dental Sense specialists can perform an accurate assessment of oral structures and develop treatment plans personalized to patients' needs.
What types of oral conditions can be treated with braces?
Oral dysfunctions that can be treated with braces are:
Malocclusion (incorrect alignment of the teeth in the arch and the jaws in the contact area);
Crowded teeth;
Rotated teeth;
Diastema (the space between the two upper front teeth);
Dental inclusions (permanent teeth included at bone level);
Speech disorders;
Breathing disorders;
What are the types of dental braces?
INVISIBLE Brace (INVISALIGN, SPARK) – transparent removable aligners that correct teeth without being visible;
FIXED SAPPHIRE BRACELETS – fixed orthodontic braces, made of sapphire crystals, with transparent, very discreet brackets;
FIXED CERAMIC BRACELETS – fixed orthodontic braces, with brackets made of ceramic material that mimic the color of teeth;
FIXED METAL BRACKETS – traditional fixed orthodontic braces, with metal brackets, efficient and durable;
FIXED LINGUAL BRACELETS – orthodontic appliance mounted on the inner surface of the teeth;
MOBILE APPLIANCES – removable orthodontic appliances;
The progress of dentistry today allows precise, painless correction of dento-maxillary anomalies. Orthodontic treatments have significant effects on the functionality and aesthetics of the patients' smile and face, providing long-term benefits in terms of oral health, reducing the risk of periodontal diseases and carious lesions, and harmonizing facial aesthetics.
What are the stages of orthodontic braces treatment at Dental Sense?
Orthodontic treatment is carried out in several stages, each stage having an important role in correcting the alignment of the teeth and jaws.
The main stages are:
Initial consultation and treatment plan – Based on the diagnosis, the doctor will create a personalized plan, discussing suitable braces options.
Applying the braces – Brackets are attached to the teeth with a special adhesive, and the wires are placed to start the movement of the teeth.
Periodic adjustments – Patients should see their doctor for regular adjustments, once every 4 weeks.
Progress monitoring – The orthodontist checks progress to ensure that treatment is proceeding according to plan.
Removing the braces – After achieving the desired result, the braces are removed without damaging the tooth enamel.
Retention Stage – After orthodontic treatment is completed, the retention stage helps stabilize the teeth and prevent their further migration.

FIXED DENTAL APPLIANCES
What are fixed dental braces?
Fixed braces are a complex, high-precision orthodontic treatment used to correct the position of teeth and the alignment of the jaws. They consist of brackets, which are bonded to the surface of each tooth, an orthodontic arch that applies controlled forces to the teeth, and various auxiliary elements, such as elastic ligatures or metal modules, which contribute to the gradual movement of the teeth into the correct position, improving both appearance and dental function.
Depending on the materials they are made of, fixed dental braces can be metal, ceramic, or sapphire.
Due to their high efficiency, fixed braces are indicated for treating a wide range of orthodontic conditions.
From what age can fixed braces be worn?
Fixed braces can be used successfully in both children and adults. Ideally, orthodontic treatment should begin in childhood or adolescence, as the bone structures are still flexible, facilitating a faster and more effective correction of the position of the teeth. Usually, orthodontic treatments are recommended starting at the age of 11-13, when the permanent dentition is fully formed, but there are also cases when orthodontic treatment can begin earlier, at an early stage, to guide the harmonious development of the jaws.
For adults, fixed braces are an effective solution for correcting dental alignment. Regardless of age, individually tailored orthodontic treatment ensures a comfortable process, allowing for remarkable results, the main condition being that teeth and gums are healthy.
To determine the optimal time and type of device, a specialist consultation is recommended.

INVISIBLE DENTAL DEVICES
What are invisible braces?
Invisible braces represent a significant evolution in the field of orthodontics, being a modern, effective and comfortable solution for correcting dental alignment. These orthodontic devices are designed to be more discreet and less visible than traditional braces.
The most advanced orthodontic solutions, Invisalign and Spark Clear Aligners are the cutting edge of modern orthodontics. Replacing unsightly metal wires and traditional brackets, these clear devices are revolutionizing orthodontic treatment.
Choose Invisalign – one of the most modern orthodontic treatments
Invisalign braces consist of a series of transparent aligners made through a 100% digitalized process, being an invisible alternative to traditional braces with brackets.
Invisalign is a simple, comfortable, mobile and 100% personalized system. The braces are made of a transparent, flexible, strong and at the same time thin material called SmartTrack.
The purpose of aligners is to exert a controlled and constant force on the entire tooth surface, in order to realign the teeth in the shortest possible time.
Invisalign technology was created by the American company Align Technology 25 years ago, being the choice of more than 16 million people globally.
Choose Spark Clear Aligners – the most widely used invisible braces globally
Spark Clear Aligners are an invisible, comfortable and effective orthodontic treatment option, tailored to the individual needs and preferences of each patient. They are a system of clear orthodontic aligners, made from a state-of-the-art, biocompatible thermoplastic material called TruGEN, which ensures better maintenance of constant force applied to the teeth and increased adhesion to the tooth surface.
Ormco's patented material, TruGEN, is designed to be more comfortable, more transparent, and more stain-resistant.
As the most technologically advanced orthodontic treatment in the world, the Spark Clear Aligners system software allows the orthodontist to precisely align each tooth so that the functionality of the dental arches is ideal. Also, with the help of the software, the exact duration of the treatment can be communicated to the patient, presenting them with a 3D simulation of the entire treatment plan.
Spark Clear Aligners is a product of the American company Ormco Corporation, recognized for its innovations in the field of orthodontics.
