Braces and orthodontics in Pipera: types and prices

Fixed braces (metal or sapphire) are bonded to the teeth for the duration of treatment and are well suited to complex corrections. Clear aligners (Spark) are removable transparent aligners that make hygiene much easier and are very discreet, which is why they are preferred by patients who care about appearance during treatment.

Metal braces cost 3,100 RON per arch, while Spark clear aligners cost between 10,000 and 23,000 RON. At Dental CATTED, we offer payment in installments through TBI Bank, so that orthodontic treatment can fit a wide range of budgets.

Once active orthodontic treatment is complete, retainers are used to maintain the results achieved. There are two main types:

• Fixed retainer: A thin, discreet wire bonded to the inside of the teeth (usually the lower and/or upper incisors). It is permanent and requires no effort from the patient to wear.
• Removable clear retainer: A transparent tray, similar to a treatment aligner, usually worn at night or as directed by your dentist. It can be removed for meals and cleaning. Your orthodontist will recommend the most suitable type of retention for your case, depending on the complexity of treatment and your individual needs.

It takes between 6 months and 2 years. The modern technology we use at our orthodontic clinic in Pipera allows us to plan tooth movement efficiently, sometimes shortening treatment compared with traditional methods.

Clear aligners are recommended mainly for teenagers and adults. For children, they may be used in certain specific cases, especially for minor corrections or in the early stages of dental development; the decision is made by the orthodontist.

Contact the Dental CATTED clinic as soon as possible to book an adjustment. Do not try to fix it yourself, to avoid complications or prolonging your treatment.

Regular appointments are usually needed every 4–6 weeks, for adjustments, progress checks and, with aligners, to receive your next sets of aligners.

While you are wearing fixed braces, it is best to avoid hard, sticky and crunchy foods such as nougat, toffee, popcorn, chewing gum and fibrous foods. These can damage the brackets or wires. Choose soft foods cut into small pieces, which are easier to chew and less likely to get stuck in the braces. Thorough oral hygiene after every meal is also crucial.

It is normal to feel some discomfort or slight soreness after the braces are fitted or adjusted, because the teeth are starting to move. This feeling is temporary and usually lasts a few days. You can manage the discomfort with ordinary painkillers (such as ibuprofen), cold compresses and a soft-food diet. If your cheeks or lips become irritated, special orthodontic wax can be applied to the brackets.

Once teeth have been aligned, they tend to move back to their original position (relapse). Retention (a fixed retainer or a clear retainer worn at night) maintains the final result. Without this stage, the effort and investment in your braces may be lost.
