Spec. dr stom. Sonja Gligović
I'm a specialist orthodontist and I run Dental Med NS in Novi Sad. I believe you should understand everything I do, that your plan should be clear from day one, and every step of treatment explained in plain language.
Why orthodontics is my calling
I was born on 14 August 1986 in Vrbas, and I've built my passion for medicine through two specialisations and doctoral studies. I'm currently in my final year of PhD studies in orthodontics at the Military Medical Academy in Belgrade.
At Dental Med NS, you receive a written plan after your first consultation. It contains everything: how long treatment will take, what it costs, how to pay, and what I expect from you. No surprises, no small additions that appear on the bill later.
I work with children, adolescents and adults. For each age group I have a different approach, but the same goal: that treatment runs calmly, that the result is visible, and that after the braces come off you independently maintain what we achieved together.
My philosophy“An individual approach is the most important thing in orthodontic treatment. I don't think every patient needs extractions for treatment to be successful, nor do I think extractions are wrong. The truth lies somewhere in between, and the art is in finding an orthodontist who sees the bigger picture.”
“I take the best from every technique I know, something only possible through constant development, courses and education, to find the best, fastest and safest solution for each patient.”
What awaits you at Dental Med NS?
An individual approach
No two cases are the same. I tailor every treatment to you, taking into account your age, the problem, lifestyle and expectations. No templates.
The best from every technique
Orthodontics has many approaches. I draw on comprehensive theoretical and clinical knowledge to choose the best combination for each case, not just one school of thought.
Constant development
Over 30 certificates from domestic and international training. Final year of PhD studies in orthodontics at the Military Medical Academy (VMA) in Belgrade. Orthodontic techniques evolve quickly, and knowledge has to keep pace.
Special care for children
A calmer environment, a small toy at every visit, simple explanations for the child, and transparent conversation with parents before and during treatment.
Solutions for adults
Clear aligners and aesthetic sapphire braces for those who prefer not to wear visible appliances. Discreet, with the same quality of results.
Collaboration with general dentists
Close cooperation with general dentists in Novi Sad when combined treatment or preparation before orthodontics is needed.

Dr Sonja outside the clinic
Conferences, travel, nature. The same eyes that study orthodontic analysis also see the world as a place of constant learning. Energy that flows back into every consultation.

The consultation takes 30 to 45 minutes, and afterwards you receive a written treatment plan with clear prices and timelines.
