About the clinic
Clear aligners, specifically the Invisalign system, offer a discreet way to straighten teeth at Hospital Odontológico Especializado (HOE) in Salvador, Brazil. This TEMOS-accredited dental hospital maintains a 95% positive rating from patients and has treated 50,000+ people. The treatment uses flexible SmartTrack material to fix crowding, spacing, and bite issues without the need for metal wires or brackets.
Expert Care by Dra. Simone Abud Barretto
Dra. Simone Abud Barretto leads the clear aligner therapy at HOE. She is an Invisalign Top Doctor Emerald for 2025 and ranks among the Top 50 Invisalign providers in Brazil. With the second-highest case volume in Bahia, Dra. Barretto holds the Invisalign Advantage Emerald seal. Her experience covers complex orthodontic cases using the latest digital planning tools.
Advanced 3D Planning and Scanning
The process starts with a 40–60 minute consultation. Instead of messy traditional impressions, the clinic uses an iTero digital scanner. This tool creates a precise 3D model of your teeth. Patients can see a 3D smile preview to visualize the final result before the actual treatment begins. The ClinCheck software then maps every small tooth movement for a predictable outcome.
The Invisalign Treatment Process
The aligners are nearly invisible and fit snugly over the teeth. Patients wear them for about 22 hours each day, removing them only to eat, brush, or floss. Because the trays are removable, there are no dietary restrictions. You will change your aligner sets at home every 1–2 weeks, which means fewer visits to the dental office compared to metal braces. The full treatment typically lasts between 6 and 24 months based on your specific needs.
Comfort and Results
SmartTrack material provides controlled force to move teeth while reducing irritation to the gums and cheeks. The system effectively treats overbites, crossbites, and open bites. Once the active movement phase is finished, patients wear a retainer to keep their new smile in place. HOE provides this service across its two units in Pituba and Shopping Paralela, meeting international quality standards for dental care.

HOE – Hospital Odontológico Especializado: more details about the clinic
Brazil, Salvador
HOE – Hospital Odontológico Especializado is a private dental hospital in Salvador, Brazil. Established in 2023, it operates two units in the Pituba and Shopping Paralela neighborhoods. The hospital focuses on oral rehabilitation and implant dentistry using a day-hospital model.
Accreditations and Achievements
The facility holds TEMOS accreditation, which signals adherence to international quality standards. Patient feedback shows strong results, with 95% positive evaluations from verified patients. The orthodontic department is recognized by Invisalign as a Top Doctor Emerald provider.
The medical team includes 14 doctors across various dental fields. Dr. Simone Abud Barretto holds advanced certification in clear aligner therapy. The hospital's structure supports multidisciplinary protocols, so patients receive coordinated care across specialties.
Implant Dentistry and Oral Rehabilitation
The hospital specializes in full oral reconstruction using 3D digital planning for high precision. Surgeons perform computer-guided All-on-4 and All-on-6 implants to restore complete dental arches. This digital workflow lets patients visualize results before the procedure begins.
- Guided Surgery: Uses 3D mouth images to place implants with exact depth and angle.
- Zygomatic Implants: Available for patients with severe bone loss who cannot receive standard implants.
- Sinus Lifting: A procedure to increase bone volume in the upper jaw.
- Fixed Prosthetics: Custom tooth replacements designed for function and aesthetics.
After surgery, the hospital provides thorough follow-up care. This includes specialized cleaning to prevent biofilm buildup around new implants.
Orthodontics and Aesthetics
The clinic is a recognized center for Invisalign clear aligners – a wire-free alternative to braces. Specialists use iTero 3D scanning to create a digital model of the teeth. The ClinCheck platform then simulates each stage of tooth movement for predictable results.
For aesthetic improvements, the hospital offers several restorative treatments:
- Dental Veneers: Thin shells placed over teeth to correct shape or color.
- Laser Teeth Whitening: Rapid whitening treatments performed in-office.
- Full Oral Rehabilitation: Combined treatments to restore both health and appearance.
Orthodontic cases receive personalized monitoring throughout treatment to ensure alignment goals are met safely.
Sedation and Safety Technology
HOE operates its own dedicated surgical center for outpatient procedures. The hospital uses conscious sedation protocols to improve patient comfort. This lets patients stay relaxed or sleep during complex dental work.
- Inhalation Sedation: Uses nitrous oxide to manage mild anxiety.
- Intravenous Sedation: Provides deeper relaxation for surgical cases.
- Vital Sign Monitoring: Continuous tracking of oxygen and heart rate via pulse oximetry.
The facility uses panoramic X-rays and intraoral cameras for precise diagnoses. These tools help evaluate bone density and identify infections before planning surgery.
Services for International Patients
The hospital treats patients seeking guided, protocol-based dental care. Digital scanning and online consultations help patients plan travel and treatment. The facility is 100% private and does not accept government health programs.
Staff follow a standardized pre-operative evaluation. This includes reviewing medical history and lab exams to ensure safety during sedation. Most patients return to normal activities the day after a sedation-based procedure.

You are experts at caring. My rating would be higher than 10, but since there isn't that option, I'll stick with 10.
Congratulations to the professionals (ALL) who make this HOE a welcoming place of tranquility and peace!

Excellent service. From reception to the other professionals, I felt very welcomed, and all my questions about the procedure were answered very clearly. I am on the third day after two extractions and a graft, and everything is going very well: no pain, no swelling, and no bleeding.

I will justify my 1 🌟 rating!!! In 2020 I went to Hoe Pituba for a treatment that required removing the upper and lower teeth! It was done in two stages; it was almost two years of treatment, cared for by Dr. Tulio, an exceptional surgeon. The problem came afterward: he disappeared from the front line of care and I was left with terrible assistance, a horrible prosthesis with no adaptation to the oral cavity, and an insistence on trying to make me believe the unbelievable! In short, a very poor-quality prosthesis that has been breaking since it was installed, and when I questioned it, I got arrogance from the staff: Sir, what’s your name? What happened? Let’s schedule an evaluation. In short, the human side for someone who had a procedure at the clinic was gone! Hell... A real hell, this clinic, and now they send me a link so I can pay in advance for maintenance of the shitty protocol! Actually, of shit, of feces! Pardon the language! A disposable protocol would be better! But Dr. Tulio is wonderful—have the surgery and be cared for by him to the end! It will work out; otherwise, run away! Put it in the contract! Medical service with Dr. Tulio until the delivery of the protocol with implants and so on! Other than that, the clinic is not worth it! It has turned into a clueless, impersonal service machine! They don’t know which client they’re talking to! Hoe has become a robot! Bye, Hoe!
Thank you, Dr. Tulio; your surgery was exceptional; the rest fell short in every respect! A series of runarounds and horrible attempts to string the client along!
Unacceptable! And note that, out of affection for you, I held back from speaking out! But unfortunately, my limit has been pushed to the extreme!
