Clear aligners in Romania:
Discreet tooth movement without metal brackets.
Straighten selected orthodontic cases discreetly with clear aligners planned at Dridih Dent. Digital scanning, in-house radiology and laboratory coordination help us assess whether aligners are realistic before you travel or start treatment.
Why delaying orthodontic care can become expensive
Many patients think crooked teeth are only an aesthetic issue. In reality, bite problems and crowding can make cleaning harder, increase the risk of gum inflammation and create areas where decay develops more easily.
A poor bite can also overload the jaw joint and contribute to enamel wear. Delaying assessment does not make the problem disappear; it can make later restorative work, implants or veneers more complex.
At Dridih Dent, we use digital planning to decide whether clear aligners are appropriate. If you travel from abroad, we clarify the expected number of visits, wear schedule and monitoring needs before treatment starts.
Our Solution: in-house planning and laboratory coordination
The advantage at Dridih Dent is a joined-up workflow. In many clinics, scans and lab communication move between separate providers. Here,the clinical and technical team can review the case closely.
CAD/CAM Technology
Precise digital design for personalised clear aligner treatment.
On-Site Adjustments
If small refinements or retainer steps are needed, the workflow can be coordinated more efficiently.
What are clear aligners?
Clear aligners are not fixed braces in the traditional sense. They are a system of transparent removable trays, made from thin medical-grade polymer. They are discreet during speech and can be removed for meals and brushing.
- Premium Biocompatibility The materials are selected for oral use and do not include metal wires or brackets. This can reduce irritation for suitable patients.
- Digital 3D Engineering Each set of trays is planned digitally to guide small tooth movements. The estimated sequence and duration are explained before treatment starts.
At Dridih Dent, intraoral scanning avoids traditional impression paste in many cases. The workflow is digital, cleaner and more comfortable for the patient.

Treatment Types and Materials
| Aligner System | Clinical Recommendation | Dridih Dent Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Standard aligner treatment | Mild to moderate crowding or spacing in suitable cases. | Digital planning and clear wear instructions. |
| Complex aligner planning | Selected rotations, bite corrections or staged movement where aligners are clinically realistic. | Multidisciplinary review before committing to treatment. |
| Invisible retention | The final stage after braces or aligners to help maintain the result. | Retainers can be planned after digital records and clinical review. |
| Discreet tooth straightening | Selected crowding, spacing or relapse cases where trays can move teeth predictably. | Useful for adults who want a lower-visibility option and can wear aligners consistently. |
| Bite correction limits | Overbite, crossbite or occlusion problems are assessed carefully before aligners are recommended. | Prevents wasting time on trays when fixed braces or combined orthodontics would be safer. |
| Gum and mobility check | Loose or mobile teeth need periodontal and bite assessment before any aligner movement. | Protects bone, gums and long-term stability before aesthetic tooth movement begins. |
Our Materials: discreet and practical
Clear aligner trays are made from thin thermoplastic materials designed to apply gentle, staged force. They must be worn as instructed; poor compliance can compromise the result. For international patients, we confirm suitability, expected visits, retention and emergency instructions before treatment starts, because aligners are discreet but still require discipline.
The Complete Workflow Stages
Transparency matters. Before you start, we explain what will happen before travel, during visits and after treatment begins.
Scan & Radiology
In-house digital records help us assess tooth position, roots, bite and suitability.
3D Simulation
You see the proposed movement sequence and the estimated treatment duration before deciding.
Aligner Production
The trays are produced, checked and fitted with clear instructions for wear and hygiene.
New Smile
Monitoring is usually less frequent than fixed braces, but reviews are still essential for safety and progress.
Myths vs Reality
“Clear aligners work for every case.” – False
Aligners are excellent for many selected cases, but not all bite problems. Severe cases may need fixed braces or combined treatment.
“They are always more expensive than braces.” – Context
The cost depends on complexity, number of trays and reviews. The right comparison is clinical suitability, not just appliance price.
“If my teeth are mobile, aligners will tighten them.” – False
Mobile teeth need diagnosis first. Gum disease, bone loss or bite overload must be stabilised before any tooth movement is considered.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many hours per day must I wear them?expand_more
Usually around 22 hours per day, removing them only for meals, drinks other than water and brushing.
Can I eat anything?expand_more
Yes, because aligners are removed before meals. You must brush before putting them back in.
If I travel from abroad, how are visits planned?expand_more
Aligner reviews may be less frequent than fixed braces, but they are still needed. We discuss timing and remote communication before treatment starts.
Can clear aligners straighten all crooked teeth?expand_more
No. They work well for selected tooth straightening cases, but severe rotations, complex bite problems, growth issues or poor gum support may need braces or staged treatment.
Are aligners safe if my teeth feel loose?expand_more
Only after diagnosis. We need to check periodontal support, bone levels and bite forces before moving any mobile tooth.
Your aligner treatment should be discreet, but not casual.
Efficiency, clarity and realistic planning.
Whether you are in Romania or planning care from abroad, Dridih Dent helps you understand if clear aligners are suitable, how long treatment may take and what follow-up is required.
