Invisible Dental Braces - Sector 6, Bucharest

The invisible dental appliance is one of the most advanced discreet orthodontic solutions available today. At Dental Science, in the Lujer area, sector 6, Bucharest, we offer orthodontic treatments with transparent aligners both for adults and teenagers who want straight teeth without aesthetic compromises and without visible impact in their professional or social life.

Dr. Alina Gheorghiu, founding doctor of the Dental Science clinic and specialist in orthodontics, chose invisible aligner systems for his patients due to superior results in terms of precision, comfort and aesthetics during treatment. Each case is planned digitally, using the MEDIT oral scanner, for a personalized treatment with predictable results.

Our clinic has always focused on orthodontic treatments, both for children and adults, and over the years we have seen a significant increase in patients seeking invisible orthodontic solutions.

Orthodontic treatment with invisible aligners at Dental Science follows a clear, digitally planned protocol from start to finish. Here are the stages each patient goes through:

1. Initial consultation and full assessment

The treatment starts with a consultation at our clinic in Lujerului area, sector 6, Bucharest. Dr. Alina Gheorghiu performs a complete clinical exam, reviews x-rays and photographs, and discusses with the patient expectations, goals, and available options. At this stage we determine whether the invisible brace is the right solution for the case in question.

2. Digital scanning

If the patient is a suitable candidate for treatment with aligners, we perform a full 3D digital scan of both dental arches. The MEDIT oral scanner captures high-resolution images in minutes without discomfort, completely eliminating the need for classic fingerprints.

3. Personalized treatment plan

Based on the digital scan, Dr. Alina Gheorghiu designs the treatment plan: the number of aligners needed, the estimated duration, the dental movements planned for each stage. The patient can view the estimated end result before starting treatment, which ensures transparency and alignment of expectations. This is extremely important for our patients in sector 6, who appreciate the opportunity to see concretely what their smile will look like at the end of treatment.

4. Manufacture and delivery of aligners

The aligners are custom made in specialized laboratories, based on the approved digital plan. Each set of grommets is designed with micrometric precision to achieve exactly the planned movements.

5. Wearing aligners and periodic checks

The patient wears each set of aligners for a minimum of 22 hours a day, removing them only during meals and for oral hygiene. Checkups are done periodically at our clinic in sector 6, usually every 6 to 8 weeks. At each check-up, Dr. Alina Gheorghiu checks the progress of the treatment and provides the patient with the following sets of alignments.

6. Termination and Contention

After the last aligner, the patient receives a retainer that maintains the long-term results. The retention phase is essential: without it, the teeth can gradually return to their original position. At Dental Science, we also monitor patients after completing active treatment to ensure that results are maintained over time.

The total duration of treatment varies between 6 and 24 months, depending on the complexity of the case. Mild cases, such as a minor frontal crowding or an isolated diastema, can be completed in 6 to 9 months. Moderate cases, involving multiple movements in both arches, usually require 12 to 24 months.

An important factor influencing the duration is the observance of the wearing time: the aligners must be worn at least 22 hours a day to be effective. Dr. Alina Gheorghiu communicates the estimated duration from the planning stage, so the patient knows from the start what to expect.

Are the aligners visible when you wear them?

Modern clear aligners are made of state-of-the-art materials that provide superior transparency. At normal conversational distance, aligners are almost impossible to notice. Most of our patients in sector 6 report that friends and colleagues did not notice that they were wearing braces.

Can I eat anything during treatment?

Yes. Unlike fixed braces, which impose food restrictions, invisible aligners are completely removed during meals. You can eat absolutely anything as long as you brush your teeth before putting the aligners in place.

Is aligner treatment painful?

Patients feel slight pressure with each set of aligners, which is normal and indicates that the teeth are moving as planned. This sensation usually goes away in 2 to 3 days and is significantly less than the discomfort associated with fixed braces.

How are aligners cleaned?

The aligners are rinsed with soap and water and brushed with a different brush than the one used for dental hygiene (not with hot water or toothpaste). They are rinsed every time they are taken out and put back. Oral hygiene during treatment is simplified compared to classic dental appliances: normal brushing, dental floss and oral irrigator without restrictions and professional hygiene without any difficulty.

What happens if I lose or break an aligner?

Contact our clinic immediately. Depending on the stage of treatment, Dr. Alina Gheorghiu may recommend wearing the previous set until receiving a new set or moving directly to the next set. It is important not to leave your teeth out of alignment for long periods of time.

What is the difference between classic braces and invisible braces?

The classic appliance uses metal, ceramic or sapphire brackets fixed to the teeth, connected by metal springs. Invisible braces use removable transparent trays that change progressively. Aligners are more discreet, more comfortable and allow for easier oral hygiene, being preferred by patients who do not want an aesthetic impact during treatment.

How often do I have to come for a checkup?

Checkups are usually scheduled every 6 to 10 weeks, at our clinic in the Lujer area, sector 6, Bucharest. Each visit lasts approximately 15 - 30 minutes, during which time Dr. Alina Gheorghiu checks the progress and provides the next sets of alignments.

Can I wear aligners if I have dental work?

Yes, in most cases. The presence of crowns, veneers or other prosthetic restorations does not automatically exclude orthodontic treatment with invisible aligners. Dr. Alina Gheorghiu evaluates in the initial consultation the compatibility of the orthodontic treatment with the existing works and proposes adapted solutions.

What alignment systems do you use at Dental Science?

We work with the Spark system, developed by Ormco, an internationally recognized brand for predictable results and patient comfort. The choice of this system is supported by the certifications obtained by Dr. Alina Gheorghiu directly from the manufacturer, which ensures the correct application of clinical protocols.
