Orthodontic Specialties and Techniques

The clinic treats clenched teeth, diastema (gaps), reverse bite, and open bite. Specialists use a digital workflow, so treatment planning happens on the day of the first visit. A 3D digital view of the teeth replaces traditional physical impressions.

Ortolook offers several fixed and removable orthodontic options:

• Damon Ultima self-ligating system, which averages 12 months for standard cases
• Spark aligners, including Spark Express for mild cases lasting under six months
• Damon Clear aesthetic braces with transparent ceramic brackets
• Classic metal brackets for standard alignment needs
• Invisalign clear aligners as a non-surgical alternative to fixed braces

Brace placement usually takes about 30 minutes. Damon system check-ups are quick and last less than 7 minutes. Follow-up visits happen every 8–9 weeks, when the doctor checks tooth movement and adjusts wires.

For children, the focus is early orthodontic assessment. Specialists check for breathing and jaw growth problems to decide if early treatment is needed. Therapy for complex cases generally lasts around 24 months, depending on the patient.

Diagnostic Technologies

The clinic uses an in-house digital suite for complete orthodontic planning. An intraoral scanner creates precise 3D dental models. Because everything is digital, treatment planning stays accurate and efficient.

Key diagnostic equipment includes:

• KaVO Instrumentarium OP3D for high-resolution panoramic and 3D X-rays
• Cone Beam CT Scan (CBCT) for detailed jaw bone imaging
• Intraoral scanner for impression-free 3D modeling
• Digital Smile Design (DSD) for visual treatment planning

Diagnostics usually take about 20 minutes. At every control visit, the doctor uses these tools to track progress and planned tooth movements.

International Patient Services

Ortolook has a structured treatment process for patients traveling from outside Croatia. The medical team speaks English, so instructions stay clear throughout therapy. All new patients get a free first specialist examination and consultation.

Free parking is available right next to the clinic. If you come to an afternoon appointment after work, disposable toothbrushes with built-in toothpaste are available. The clinic uses encrypted data transmission to protect patient records and diagnostic images.
