What is orthodontics?
At the Giadent Smile clinic in Sibiu, orthodontics means much more than straightening teeth – it is about restoring the function of the dento-maxillary system and creating a harmonious smile.
Orthodontic treatments correct malocclusions, improve chewing function and contribute to the overall health of the oral cavity.
The Giadent Smile team in Sibiu approaches each case with attention to detail, offering personalised solutions for patients of all ages.
Orthodontics is the dental speciality concerned with diagnosing and correcting malocclusions — the incorrect positioning of the teeth and jaws — using fixed or removable braces or clear aligners.

Benefits of orthodontic treatment
- Improved chewing function: correctly aligned teeth allow food to be processed properly and reduce strain on the temporomandibular joint.
- Easier oral hygiene – aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and periodontal disease. At Giadent Smile Sibiu, patients receive full guidance on maintaining hygiene throughout treatment.
- Improved aesthetics contribute to greater self-confidence and more open communication. A harmonious smile has a positive influence on social and professional interactions.
- Preventing future problems – orthodontic treatment can prevent abnormal tooth wear, joint problems and periodontal complications.
When should you consider orthodontic treatment?
- Overlapping teeth or teeth with gaps between them
- An incorrect bite
- Difficulty chewing or speaking
- Hygiene problems caused by the position of the teeth
- A wish for aesthetic improvement
- Mouth breathing or harmful habits in children (thumb sucking, infantile swallowing)
- Teeth that have not erupted or have erupted in the wrong position
Types of braces available at Giadent Smile
Traditional braces with metal brackets remain a solution for most orthodontic cases. We use orthodontic systems that offer comfort and monitored progress.
Brackets made of ceramic or transparent materials offer a discreet alternative for patients who want a more aesthetic appearance during treatment.
For certain types of corrections, or as a retention phase, at Giadent Smile we use removable appliances, which are a flexible and comfortable solution.
- Clear aligner systems
The technology makes it possible to correct some malocclusions with almost invisible aligners, offering comfort and aesthetics throughout treatment.
Stages of orthodontic treatment at Giadent Smile Sibiu
Initial consultation and diagnosis

Fitting the braces
The procedure is carried out comfortably at our clinic in Sibiu, with step-by-step explanations for the patient.

Regular visits allow the braces to be adjusted and progress to be monitored. The Giadent Smile team provides constant support throughout treatment.
Retention phase
After the active braces are removed, retainers are used to stabilise the results achieved.
Orthodontics for different ages
Early orthodontic treatment can guide the correct development of the jaws and prevent future complications. At Giadent Smile Sibiu, we create a friendly environment for little ones.
The first orthodontic consultation is recommended at around the age of 7, when jaw development can be assessed and any problems can be identified early.
Orthodontics for teenagers
Adolescence is the right time for most orthodontic treatments. We offer solutions adapted to young people’s active lifestyles.
Orthodontics for adults
Orthodontic treatment has no age limit. Adults can benefit from orthodontic corrections with discreet and comfortable braces.

Why choose orthodontic treatment at the Giadent Smile clinic in Sibiu
Choosing the braces is only one part of orthodontic treatment. The initial diagnosis, the planning of tooth movements and the monitoring of progress throughout treatment are just as important. At Giadent Smile, the plan is set individually, according to each patient’s age, tooth position, bite and goals.
Specialist orthodontist (Dr. Bianu Oana)
Orthodontic treatment is overseen by Dr. Bianu Oana, a specialist orthodontist. After the consultation and the necessary investigations, the doctor establishes the diagnosis, the right type of appliance and the stages through which the teeth will be moved gradually into their planned positions.
Spark aligners: the invisible alternative to fixed braces
For patients who want the least visible treatment possible, Giadent Smile also offers treatment with Spark clear aligners. Tooth movement is planned step by step through removable aligners, and the patient moves from one set of aligners to the next as directed by the orthodontist.
However, aligners are not the right solution for every case. The indication is determined after the orthodontic consultation and an analysis of the type of malocclusion.
Treatment for children, teenagers and adults
Orthodontics is not limited to one age group. In children, early assessment makes it possible to monitor the development of the teeth and jaws. In teenagers and adults, treatment can correct various alignment and bite problems, provided the dental and periodontal situation allows the teeth to be moved.
The type of appliance and the treatment goals are set differently for each age group.
Personalised treatment plan, with an estimated duration from the start
After the consultation and analysis of the investigations, the orthodontist determines what needs to be corrected and by what method the desired result can be achieved. The plan includes the type of appliance, the main stages and an estimate of the treatment duration.
The duration given at the outset is indicative, as the pace of tooth movement and the course of treatment can vary from one patient to another.
Free consultation and instalment payment
At Giadent Smile, the consultation is free, so you can find out what orthodontic problem you have and which treatment options can be considered before you begin.
Instalment payment is also available for orthodontic treatments, allowing the costs to be spread according to the financing options available at the clinic.

Frequently asked questions
At what age is the first orthodontic consultation recommended?
The first orthodontic assessment is recommended at around the age of 7. At this age both baby and permanent teeth are present, and the orthodontist can observe how the jaws are developing and how the teeth are erupting. A consultation at 7 does not automatically mean treatment must start straight away.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
The duration depends on the problem to be corrected, the complexity of the case, the type of appliance and how the teeth respond to treatment. Attending check-ups and, in the case of aligners, wearing them as directed by the doctor can influence progress. After the assessment, the orthodontist can give you an estimate tailored to your case.
Do braces hurt?
Fitting fixed braces should not cause actual pain, but after adjustments you may temporarily feel pressure or sensitivity in your teeth. The braces may also initially irritate the cheeks or lips until the patient gets used to them. The degree of discomfort differs from person to person.
Which braces are the least visible?
For patients concerned about the appearance of braces, there are more discreet options than classic metal braces. These include aesthetic fixed braces and clear aligners. However, the choice should not be made on appearance alone, but also according to the orthodontic problem to be corrected.
Are clear aligners as effective as fixed braces?
Aligners can treat many orthodontic problems, but they are not automatically the best solution for every patient. Effectiveness depends on the type and complexity of the malocclusion, the treatment planning and compliance with the recommended wearing time. In some situations, the orthodontist may consider that fixed braces offer more suitable control over the necessary movements.
Am I too old for braces?
There is no universal maximum age for starting orthodontic treatment. Adults can also wear braces or aligners if the teeth and the tissues that support them allow treatment. Before starting, the doctor also assesses the health of the gums and bone.
How often do I need to come for check-ups?
The frequency of check-ups is set by the orthodontist according to the type of appliance and the stage of treatment. Regular visits allow the movement of the teeth to be checked and any necessary adjustments to be made. The doctor will tell you the recommended interval for your case once treatment has begun.
What happens after the braces are removed?
Once the tooth movements are complete, the retention stage follows. Its purpose is to help keep the teeth in the positions achieved through treatment. Depending on the case, retainer trays, fixed retainers or a combination of the two may be used. Following the instructions in this stage is important for the stability of the result.
How much does orthodontic treatment cost?
The cost depends on the type of appliance chosen, the complexity of the case and the stages required. Metal braces, aesthetic braces and aligner treatment have different costs. The available prices can be found in the prices section, and the full plan can be discussed after the orthodontic consultation.
Can braces be paid for in instalments?
Yes, at Giadent Smile orthodontic treatment can be paid for in instalments, depending on the financing options available. The terms and method of payment can be discussed with the clinic team before treatment begins.
