Types of dental appliances available at Smile City

Fixed braces

Fixed braces are the most commonly used orthodontic braces and provide excellent results for teeth alignment and bite correction. They are fitted to the teeth and remain in place for the duration of treatment.

At Smile City, patients can choose between:

Metal braces - classic, efficient and affordable.
Sapphire (ceramic) braces - more discreet and aesthetically pleasing with transparent brackets.
Self-ligating braces - modern technology that reduces discomfort and treatment time.

Invisible braces (transparent aligners)

Aligners are a modern and comfortable solution for patients who want a discreet alternative. They are transparent, removable and almost invisible.

Benefits:

High comfort and excellent aesthetics.
They can be removed when needed (during meals or dental hygiene).
Especially recommended for adults and teenagers.

Auxiliary Orthodontic Devices

For more complex cases, the doctor may recommend auxiliary devices such as breaker or special appliances that prepare the jawbone for orthodontic treatment.Auxiliary orthodontic appliancesAuxiliary Orthodontic Devices

Mobile braces

Mobile braces are a removable orthodontic solution, recommended especially for children between the ages of 7 and 12, when their permanent teeth are erupting. Unlike fixed braces, it can be removed by the patient, making them more comfortable in their daily activities.

It is indicated for correcting mild to moderate alignment problems and for guiding jaw growth during development. It is not recommended in complex cases where fixed appliances provide more accurate and faster results.

At Smile City, the orthodontist determines after the consultation whether mobile braces are the right option or if a fixed appliance is directly recommended.

How much do braces cost?

Price braces depends on the type chosen and the complexity of the treatment. At Smile City Ghencea, Sector 6, We offer a wide range of options to suit all budgets:

Braces for children vs. adults - what are the differences?

Orthodontic treatment works at any age, but there are some important differences between children and adults.

In children, the jawbone is still growing, which means teeth move more easily and quickly. Treatment in children therefore generally takes less time and can be more affordable. The optimal age to start treatment is between 9 and 14 years, although orthodontic assessment is recommended from the age of 7.

In adults, the bone is fully formed, making tooth movements slower. Treatment may take longer, but the results are just as good. Adults often choose sapphire braces or clear aligners because they are more discreet.

At Smile City we treat both children and adults, with personalized treatment plans for each case.

Fixed metal appliance/arcade - 2.500 RON

It is the most affordable option and at the same time very effective. Metal brackets are strong and offer excellent control over tooth movement. It is a common choice for children and teenagers, but also for adult patients looking for fast results at a lower cost.

Self-sealing metal fixture/arcade - 4.000 RON

This type of appliance uses special, non-elastic braces, making it more comfortable and easier to maintain. Treatment times can be shorter and doctor visits are quicker. It is a recommended option for patients who want efficiency and added comfort.

Sapphire fixed appliance/arcade - 4.500 RON

Sapphire braces are transparent and blend perfectly with natural teeth. They are the ideal choice for patients who want a discreet but effective treatment. Although the cost is higher than the metal version, the aesthetic benefit is considerable, especially for adults.

Clear aligner/Spark - 3.500 EUR

Spark aligners are made of a modern, completely transparent material that makes them almost invisible. They are removed during meals and brushing, making them extremely convenient. They are recommended for patients who emphasize aesthetics and everyday comfort. Some cases cannot be solved with this appliance, but for this the specialist must evaluate the case.

Braces in installments - payment options at Smile City

We understand that orthodontic treatment is a significant investment. That's why at Smile City we offer the option to pay for your treatment in installments, to make dental care affordable on any budget.

Classic circuit breaker - 2.200 RON

It is an auxiliary device mainly used in children or teenagers to widen the dental arch and prepare for orthodontic treatment.

Moon checks

The success of the treatment also depends on regular check-ups. At each visit, the doctor adjusts your braces and checks progress. At Smile City in sector 6, Ghencea, monthly check-ups are essential to ensure that the results are as fast and stable as possible.

Monthly check/arcade - 130 RON
Lunar Control 2 arcade - 200 RON

These regular visits are essential for the adjustment of the device and for the treatment to go well!

What can you eat with fixed braces?

One of the most frequently asked questions from patients starting orthodontic treatment is about food. The good news is that you can eat almost anything - with a few important exceptions.

Recommended foods:

Soft foods: pasta, smoothies, soups, yogurt, eggs, fish, cheese
Fruit and vegetables cut into small pieces
Tender meat, baked or boiled

Foods to avoid:

Very hard foods: nuts, pretzels, apples or carrots bitten into directly
Sticky foods: caramels, chewing gum, jellies
Too much fizzy and sugary drinks - increases risk of tooth decay

In the first few days after braces are fitted or after each monthly activation, your teeth may be more sensitive. During this period, opt for soft, warm foods.

How do you care for your teeth with braces?

Proper oral hygiene is essential throughout orthodontic treatment. Brackets and archwires create areas where food debris builds up more easily, so brushing needs to be more careful and frequent.

Hygiene recommendations:

Brush after every meal, minimum 3-5 minutes
Use an interdental brush or mouth irrigator to clean between the brackets
Special dental floss (hard-headed or floss threader) helps clean under the arch
Choose a fluoride toothpaste and supplement with antiseptic mouthwash

At Smile City, we provide you with complete hygiene instructions personalized for the type of appliance you choose when fitting your appliance.
