Why choose aligners?

Service Efficiency

Successful treatment in 99.5% of cases.

We use the Ordoline straightening system.

Treatment with Ordoline orthodontic aligners is highly effective even for patients with the most complex bite problems.

How is it done?

1. First appointment — Examination

During the first appointment, the doctor will perform the necessary examinations:

– digital teeth scanning with a 3Shape scanner
– digital dental X-rays
– a detailed examination of the oral cavity and teeth
– professional facial photographs for smile analysis

Based on the collected data, a personalised treatment plan will be created.

2. Second appointment — Treatment planning presentation

Based on the diagnostic data, an individual treatment plan is prepared. In the 3D visualization, you can see how the crowns will change the condition of the teeth, what the final result will be and how long the treatment is likely to take.

3. Making your aligners

The aligners are made and the dentist provides detailed instructions on how to use them.

4. Daily routine — the patient changes the aligners themselves every 10–14 days

The patient is given several sets of aligners, and only needs to visit the doctor every 2-3 months to make sure that the treatment is going according to plan.

Our patient’s story on the way to the Perfect Smile

Goal

To improve the appearance of my smile, I was concerned about the existing composite coatings on the front teeth (fillings), which were worn, cracked, and discoloured.

What we did

  • We performed comprehensive diagnostics – collecting the patient’s history, followed by oral cavity and teeth examination, 3 Shape scan, intraoral digital X-rays, KSDT (3D X-ray), photo protocol, facial analysis;
  • We prepared a personalised treatment plan, including all the required finances, implementation time, and also demonstrated a digital smile design, during which the patient was able to view before/after pictures of her smile before we started any treatment process.

Result

Treatment duration 3 months:

  • We replaced 2 missing teeth with Straumann implants,
  • We performed endodontic root canal treatment under microscope control, therapeutic treatment and smile reconstruction with 24 ceramic veneers, which were made in our technical laboratory in Dubai.

Examples of our work

Full smile reconstruction

In this clinical case, the patient came to us with a serious problem – he had only six teeth left in both the upper and lower jaws. He wanted not only to restore his teeth, but also to regain a full, harmonious and natural smile that would give him confidence and look truly inspiring.

Planning and functional reconstruction

Our team started treatment with a comprehensive approach – we carefully planned each stage of the treatment in order to restore both the patient's aesthetic appearance and full chewing function. 

To replace his missing teeth, we inserted twelve Swiss Straumann implants – six in the upper and lower jaws in the lateral teeth areas. These implants provided a stable foundation for zirconia crowns.

Aesthetic art

On the patient's remaining teeth, we installed exclusive ceramic veneers hand-made by our cooperation partners – professional ceramic specialists in Dubai. Each veneer was custom-made to complement the patient's facial proportions, smile line and speech characteristics.

The ultra-thin ceramic layer of just 0.5 mm made it possible to preserve natural translucency and light reflection, thus creating an outstanding aesthetic appearance with no plastic or artificial feeling.

Perfection in the details

Zirconia crowns on implants ensured the durability and longevity of the structure, while veneers gave the patient's smile a look of lightness, radiance and sophistication. 

The whole treatment process – from insertion of implants through to final prosthetics – lasted seven months. The aesthetic stage with the production and installation of veneers took about four weeks. 

Result

The result is not just a new smile – it is a story of complete transformation. The patient acquired a healthy, harmonious and natural smile, which not only restored his chewing function, but also reflected his self-confidence, inner strength and improved quality of life.

Clinical case: natural aesthetics with non-prep ceramic veneers

A patient came to us who wanted to makeover her smile to give it a more natural appearance. Although her teeth were positioned correctly, her front teeth were covered with composite veneers that looked artificial and did not match the rest of her smile. This caused her discomfort and desiring an aesthetically flawless, but at the same time caring solution.

Treatment approach and process

Our job was to improve the look of her front teeth, retaining their natural shape and harmony with the rest of her teeth. To this end, we chose non-prep veneers – a modern technology enabling us to apply ceramic plates with no need to grind the enamel. This is the most gentle and caring method possible and completely preserves the natural anatomy of teeth. Treatment was conducted on the patient's eight front teeth, as a result of which her smile is now completely visually harmonious.

Aesthetic art

To achieve the ideal result, the veneers were hand-crafted in our partner laboratory in Dubai. Master ceramists created ultra-thin plates with natural translucency, relief and depth of colour, precisely replicating the natural structure of the patient’s teeth. Outstanding light penetration and precision of form ensured that the veneers integrated into the patient’s smile organically, making her teeth look completely natural and alive.

Result

Just three appointments (one month) were required for the treatment – as the patient lived abroad, we adapted the process to meet her needs. The end result was that we applied eight non-prep veneers, which gave her smile a natural, attractive and harmonious look and kept her natural teeth tissue untouched.

The patient acquired a new smile – one that is natural, harmonious and uniquely her own, truly reflecting her individuality.

Clinical case: replacement of old veneers and restoration of a natural smile

We were approached by a patient complaining of swollen gums and persistent problems with previously inserted veneers. Nearly every month, one of the veneers would become detached or even break. This was indicative of bite problems and inadequate functional stability.

Planning stage 

Following a detailed diagnosis and digital smile modelling, we devised a comprehensive treatment plan to restore both the appearance and function of the patient's teeth. We carefully removed the existing veneers and replaced them with new high-quality ceramic veneers, custom-made to match the patient’s individual characteristics – tooth shape, tone and bite. The work was performed on 28 upper jaw and lower jaw teeth, and the whole process – from diagnosis through to final stabilization – took just nine weeks.

Aesthetics and functionality

After the completion of treatment, the condition of the patient's gums significantly improved and her bite became stable and physiologically correct. She no longer has to worry about the possibility of veneers moving or breaking, and her new smile looks natural and harmonious. 

When it came to the veneers, we paid particular attention to the choice of colour and shape. The patient desired a natural and aesthetically pleasing result that would resemble the natural tone of her teeth before her first prosthetics as closely as possible. 

We opted for tonally nuanced veneers ideally suited to the aesthetics of her face, which made her smile vibrant, soft and sophisticated, but not so as to convey the impression of excessive whitening.

Result 

The patient acquired a health, balanced and natural smile that not only looked wonderful, but also fully restored her jaw function and quality of life.

Before you start, you might want to know more.

Can clear aligners be used in all cases?

Yes, teeth straightening with aligners is possible in almost all cases. Up to 99.5% of cases can be treated successfully.

How long does treatment with clear aligners take?

The duration of treatment depends on your specific clinical case. Therefore, an initial consultation and a treatment plan are required to provide an accurate answer. However, treatment typically lasts between 6 and 24 months.

How much does teeth straightening with aligners cost?

Costs depend on the complexity of the individual clinical case. Prices start from about €2,000 per arch.

Are aligners better than braces?

Aligners (trays) are the most modern method of teeth straightening. They are not only virtually invisible to others but also offer superior comfort for the patient’s daily life. For instance, they do not irritate the oral mucosa or damage tooth enamel, do not affect your clarity of speech, and require no significant changes to your daily habits—such as diet, oral hygiene routines, or general lifestyle. Furthermore, fewer clinical appointments are necessary because the patient replaces the aligners themselves every 10–14 days, as prescribed in the personalised treatment plan.


At our clinic, we provide orthodontic treatment exclusively with clear aligners, using the ORDOLINE system.
