SmartClip braces in Orthoestetic Studio
About the clinic
SmartClip braces are offered at Orthoestetic Studio in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The self-ligating brackets use a smart gate instead of elastic ties, reducing friction. Orthodontist Dr. Fabiola Alvarez leads the clinic and has over 10 years of experience, an MSc, and a PhD in Orthodontics from the University of São Paulo.
How SmartClip braces work
These fixed braces are recommended for complex cases that need precise three-dimensional control of each tooth. The smart gate holds the wire without elastic ligatures. The brackets have polished edges and smooth contours to help limit lip and cheek irritation.
Bracket options include titanium alloy, stainless steel, pure sapphire, and high-translucency porcelain. Sapphire and porcelain can offer a less noticeable option for adults. The clinic also offers Damon self-ligating braces and conventional braces.
Digital planning and follow-up
Before the braces are made, the clinic plans tooth movement digitally, tooth by tooth. It takes measurements without using impression trays. Follow-up visits are scheduled every 8 weeks.
Patients may have periapical X-rays or CT scans for three-dimensional images. Complex structural cases may also involve a consultation with a maxillofacial surgeon. A remote follow-up system is available for patients travelling from farther away, with fewer in-person visits.
Care for patients with bone loss
For patients with periodontitis and bone loss, tooth movement is slower to protect bone health. The treatment plan and diagnostic tests depend on each patient’s case.

### Orthodontic SpecializationThe clinic offers two main orthodontic paths: braces and invisible aligners. Specialists use digital, tooth-by-tooth planning to design each treatment. This method gives patients controlled, predictable tooth movement. For braces, the clinic uses titanium and steel alloys.Options for orthodontic systems include:- Self-ligating braces – These use a smart gate instead of elastics. This reduces friction, so visits are needed only every 8 weeks.
- Invisalign – Removable clear aligners changed every 1–2 weeks for staged correction.
- SmartClip and Damon braces – Brackets designed for comfort and efficiency.
- Pediatric interceptive care – Early guidance of jaw growth to avoid future bone surgery.
The clinic also treats patients with periodontitis (bone loss). These cases move slowly to protect the patient's bone health.
### Diagnostic and Treatment TechnologiesOrthoestetic Studio uses **digital planning software** for all invisible aligner cases. This allows exact measurements before appliance fabrication. Diagnostic tools at the clinic include:- Periapical X-rays for detailed views of individual teeth and surrounding bone
- Consultations with maxillofacial surgeons for complex structural cases
- CT scans for three-dimensional imaging
Specialists use these tools to build treatment plans based on precise diagnosis.
### Services for International PatientsThe clinic serves the entire family, from childhood through adulthood. The medical team and support staff offer consultations in Spanish. Patients receive guidance on dental health topics throughout treatment. The clinic manages follow-up care for long-distance patients through systems that require fewer in-person visits.Additional services
