Orthodontics – The right teeth for a perfect smile
Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that deals with the straightening of teeth and jaws, both for functional and aesthetic reasons. Regardless of whether you have spaced, compacted, crossed or rotated teeth, modern orthodontic treatment today is non-invasive, discreet and effective.
At the Dental Center Andjelkovic in Novi Sad, we use the latest methods and technologies to offer solutions tailored to each patient – from fixed dentures, through mobile appliances, to the most modern foils for straightening teeth (liners).
📌 What are the types of teeth straightening?
Aligners for straightening teeth – also known as clear dentures or liners – are a revolution in modern orthodontics.
These transparent, almost invisible foils are made individually for each patient and move the teeth to the ideal position over time.
✅ Advantages of foils (liners):
* Aesthetically inconspicuous – almost invisible
Can be removed while eating and brushing your teeth.
* No metal locks and wires
• Faster and more predictable results for many patients
* An ideal choice for adults who want a discreet orthodontic solution
* The foils are changed every 2-3 weeks, and the entire therapy can last from several months to a year, depending on the case.
️ Fixed dentures
Fixed dentures are the most common orthodontic appliances and consist of brackets that are glued to the teeth and connected by a wire that gradually moves the teeth.
Fixed dentures can be:
* Metal – the most commonly used, durable and efficient
* Aesthetic (ceramic or sapphire) – more discreet and less conspicuous
* Lingual (on the inside of the tooth) – completely invisible from the outside
Fixed dentures are more suitable for more complex orthodontic irregularities and allow precise control of tooth movement.
🧒 Removable dentures
Removable dentures are devices that can be removed from the mouth, most commonly used in children and young people whose teeth and jaws are still developing.
Features of removable dentures:
* Applied at an early age (usually from the age of 7)
• Affects the proper development of jaws and teeth
* Worn for a certain number of hours a day or night
* Can also serve as preparation for later fixed treatment
In the case of mild orthodontic irregularities, a removable denture may be a sufficient solution on its own.
