Specialist orthodontic treatment that permanently corrects the position of your teeth and your bite. We choose metal, combined or sapphire brackets together at your first exam, at Dental Med NS, Puškinova 9a.
Metal, combined or sapphire brackets. We choose the right type together at your first exam, to fit your needs.
On average 12 to 24 months, individual to each case. I give an exact estimate after diagnostics.
With dedicated work and real expertise I almost always avoid removing healthy teeth. For me it is the last option.
The price covers every check-up until the braces come off. No extra costs and no hidden add-ons.
Orthodontics is often confused with prosthodontics, and so are the terms denture and brace. Here's the difference.
A term used in prosthodontics. A prosthesis is for replacing missing teeth, placed where a tooth is absent.
A term used in orthodontics. It is bonded and fixed to the teeth and is used for moving teeth and straightening the smile.
In everyday speech both terms mean the same thing, but in medicine they're two different things. At Dental Med NS I do orthodontic braces.
Smile freely, anywhere, no one deserves to hide their smile.
An incorrect bite disrupts digestion and loads teeth unevenly.
Straightening teeth improves articulation, clearer and more natural.
Fixed braces in Novi Sad range from €1,500 for metal to €2,400 for sapphire. All prices include every check-up until the braces are removed.
The most common choice in orthodontics. Metal brackets on the outside of the teeth, connected by a wire. At every check-up you choose the elastic colour that suits you.
Sapphire brackets on the upper jaw (aesthetic, less visible) and metal on the lower. A balance between aesthetics and price.
Clear sapphire brackets, discreet straightening without conspicuous metal. Keeps a flawless appearance throughout treatment.
Interest-free installments available, we arrange them together at your first exam.
Fixed braces aren't only for straightening crooked teeth. With the right approach, they open up many more possibilities than most patients realise.
While a child is growing, fixed braces can correct jaw position too, not just teeth. Often prevents the need for surgery later.
Beyond moving teeth, treatment often brings external changes too, facial symmetry, lip competence, a more harmonious profile.
A popular combination: sapphire on top (the more visible part) + metal on the bottom (less visible when speaking). Aesthetics on top, economy on the bottom.
“In adults, jaw correction is possible with orthognathic surgery, a combination of fixed braces and an operation. At the consultation we can assess together whether that's your case.”Spec. dr stom. Sonja Gligović
Placing the braces is completely painless.
X-rays, dental model, detailed medical history and creation of the treatment plan. I identify the reasons for the irregularity and we define the next steps together.
Painless, takes about 90 minutes. The bonding material holds the brackets firmly until the end of treatment, with no problems at removal.
Check-ups every 4 to 6 weeks. Results within a few months, with treatment lasting up to 24 months total. After braces removal, I recommend the most effective retainer for your case.
Real examples of teeth straightening with fixed braces, photographed at the practice with patient consent. Every transformation is the result of patient treatment lasting 12 to 24 months.
All images are published with written patient consent. No identities are revealed, only the teeth before and after treatment are shown.
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
Teeth are moving, any inappropriate pressure can damage them permanently. You also receive written instructions.
Sticks to brackets and damages the appliance.
Toffees, gummies, they pull the wire.
Hazelnut, walnut, almond: never whole. Chop them up.
Hard kernels break the brackets. Nobody needs popcorn for 24 months.
Everything else is allowed Orthodontic wax for the first 7 days if anything rubs (I provide it). Paracetamol only if really needed, rarely required. Detailed hygiene instructions are given at the clinic, with a written guide.
Daily life with fixed braces quickly becomes routine. After 3 to 7 days of adjusting, you stop noticing them. Here's what to expect in each phase of treatment.
Mild tension and tooth sensitivity is normal. Orthodontic wax calms cheek irritation. Softer food and warm compresses help you adjust.
Speech and eating become completely normal. Tooth movement is already noticeable, especially on the front. You've learned the special brushing technique around the brackets.
A visible change in your smile. Check-ups every 4 to 6 weeks, each lasting 15 to 20 minutes. Patients at this stage often forget they are wearing braces at all.
After 18 to 24 months the braces are removed painlessly in around 30 minutes. The retention phase follows, a wire or clear retainer, to keep the result permanent.
Teeth naturally tend to return to their original position and continue moving even at 60, regardless of whether braces were ever worn. Nothing in the body is static, everything requires maintenance.
A thin, rounded wire fixed to the inside of the front teeth. It isn't removable. Invisible from the outside, only slightly felt with the tongue. Patients adjust very quickly.
Clear and thin, almost invisible. Removable. The first 3 months 24h, then only at night. Bonus: also protects against bruxism (teeth grinding in sleep).
“Over time the appearance of the face changes, muscles atrophy, wrinkles deepen. Everything needs maintenance. Why would we expect teeth to maintain themselves?”Spec. dr stom. Sonja Gligović
The specialist orthodontic consultation takes around 45 minutes. The price is €30 (3,500 RSD) and includes impressions, analysis and a clear plan with pricing.
