Orthodontics
WHAT IS ORTHODONTICS?
It is related to the early diagnosis and treatment of dental and skeletal malocclusions of the craniofacial system.
Malocclusions, when not treated in time, cause problems in speech, chewing and smooth respiratory function. Proper orthodontic treatment, by a specialized orthodontist, improves both the health and image of the teeth and face, and leads to a beautiful and healthy smile that increases your self-confidence.
We specialize in orthodontics for children and adults, and offer a variety of advanced orthodontic treatments. Our main goal is to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile that will last for years to come. We look forward to meeting you for an orthodontic diagnosis.

Modern manufacturers pay special attention to the polishing process, in order to exclude any injuries to the mucous membranes of the oral cavity. Sapphire braces are very small in size and do not damage tooth enamel, even with prolonged use.
Low allergenicity
The artificially created material from which sapphire braces are made is an inert inorganic compound and thus the occurrence of allergic reactions is extremely rare.
DIAMOND ALIGNER
The Diamond Aligner orthodontic system helps correct crooked teeth without metal braces.
These are virtually invisible aligners, custom-made for each individual patient. They are removable and easy to use. Diamond Aligners move your teeth by applying gentle, targeted pressure to each tooth in turn. This pressure stimulates the cells and the alveolar bone that support the teeth, gradually guiding them into the proper position.
