Clear aligners in Novi Sad, quiet, discreet
Active clear aligners, also called clear braces, move your teeth with no visible appliance. The ideal choice for mild aesthetic corrections, when you want a straighter smile without compromising your daily life. Treatment at Dental Med NS costs 100 to 150 €.
Thin clear aligners made to fit your teeth, neither colleagues nor those around you notice you're wearing them.
For eating, brushing and special occasions. No limits on everyday life.
Per aligner series, depending on case complexity. I give an exact price at the consultation.
Ideal for adults and those who don't live in Novi Sad, less travelling.
What clear aligners can and can't do?
Clear aligners aren't a solution for everyone. Before recommending them, I look at whether they're the right choice for you specifically.
What they can do
- Mild aesthetic corrections of tooth crowns
- Tooth movement after not wearing a retainer (relapse after fixed braces)
- Discreet treatment with no visible appliance
- Treatment with infrequent check-ups (ideal if you live outside Novi Sad)
What they can't
- Moving tooth roots (crowns only)
- Correcting bite or function
- Major tooth movement problems
- Treatment for children and adolescents
“It's important to stress that aligner treatment has narrow indications. Aligners can't move tooth roots, so you shouldn't believe in various promises and 'easy solutions'.”
Spec. dr stom. Sonja Gligović
Thin, clear, barely noticeable
Aligners, also known as clear or invisible braces, are thin transparent appliances custom-made to fit your teeth. You wear them day and night and only remove them to eat and clean your teeth, everything else you do as normal.
The biggest advantage: colleagues, clients and those around you rarely even notice you're wearing them.
The exact price depends on case complexity and is set at the consultation. Retention aligners: €100 (12,000 RSD).

Patient experiences
I can't review the dental services, but the customer service is terrible. I didn't even get a response. If you're not taking new clients, just say so.
I would highly recommend Dr. Sonja Gligovic and dental office "DentalMed". Overall experience is exceptional, professional but friendly attitude by Dr. Sonja, absolutely painless treatments…
It was the best dentist experience in my life! Doctor was very gentle with my teeth. I also received good consultation about my mouth's health so now I know what I should pay attention…
I wear aligners and I needed a separation. It was done well. Overall, the clinic is good, doctors are friendly and speak English pretty good.
English-speaking doctor, everything is at a high level, I liked it. Thank you
3 patient profiles for clear aligners
Not every solution suits everyone. Here's where clear aligners truly shine.
Adults, mild corrections
Adults with minor aesthetic issues: a few crooked front teeth, small gaps. They don't want a visible appliance at work or in professional settings.
Former braces wearers
The ideal profile: patients who wore fixed braces but whose teeth have slightly shifted from the ideal position because they didn't wear a retainer. Aligners bring them back.
Patients living outside Novi Sad
Aligners require infrequent check-ups (every 3 weeks), so they're ideal for patients living outside Novi Sad who can't visit often.

How to handle your aligners properly
Without proper removal and cleaning, aligners can crack. Follow these guidelines and everything runs like clockwork.
From both sides
Always remove and insert with both sides of the dental arch evenly. Don't tilt to one side.
Clean teeth
Aligners go on only over clean teeth. Brush before every insertion.
Non-abrasive toothpaste
Clean aligners with a brush and a mild, non-abrasive toothpaste. Avoid whitening toothpastes, they damage the clear material.
Remove for eating
Always remove your aligners while eating or drinking anything other than water. Put them back after brushing.
What everyday life looks like with clear aligners?
Patients wearing clear aligners typically go through several clear phases. Experiences are similar because the treatment is structured, but everyone has their own adjustment rhythm. Here's what most people experience.
The first few days
Mild pressure on the teeth, especially when you switch to a new aligner series. Speech is slightly altered for the first few hours; the brain adapts quickly. The biggest challenge is getting used to taking the aligners out before every meal.
The first month
Aligners become part of the daily routine. Patients wear them 22 hours a day, removing them only for eating and brushing. A subtle shift in the front teeth is already visible, extra motivation to persevere.
During treatment
Check-ups at the clinic are infrequent, usually every 3 to 4 weeks, when new impressions are taken and the plan is adjusted. Patients living outside Novi Sad particularly love this aspect: less travelling compared with fixed braces.
After treatment
Once treatment is complete, retention aligners worn at night are essential. Without retention, teeth naturally tend to return to their original position; with retention the result stays stable for years.
Retention with the last aligners
Once teeth reach their desired position, the last aligners stay on as retention. Worn only at night, for as long as you want to maintain the result.
Recommendation: for life. Teeth naturally tend to return to their original position, everything needs maintenance.
They also protect against bruxism
Retention aligners worn at night serve a dual purpose: they also protect teeth from grinding and wear (bruxism), which most people experience at some point in life, often without realising it.
