Night-time braces, porcelain braces, removable braces, self-ligating braces, invisible braces, clear braces...
The list can go on indefinitely, but where should someone looking for a personalised solution go and which one should they choose? An option that is as far removed as possible from the old “metal monsters” that were impossible to ignore.
Fortunately, these days we no longer have to struggle so much for straight teeth. But the question might arise, how does the ideal process proceed from the initial assessment to the formation of a flawless set of teeth, in the case of the most modern orthodontics?
In our article today, we also want to provide insight into what steps precede the „orthodontic process”, as well as what world-class diagnostic tools and orthodontic systems we use at Naturadent, so that you can achieve your very best.
Assessment and dental hygiene – Mandatory before orthodontics?
Just as a family home needs a perfect foundation, it is essential for us to understand the current state of your teeth and gums before we create the optimal treatment plan together.
We believe in thorough state-of-the-art assessments following a consultation and Naturadent's world-class dental hygiene treatments, as only this provides a 100%% guarantee that we can subsequently respond to the challenges revealed by the panoramic X-ray in a personalised way, tailored to the individual and their life situation.
In our country, many people „turn back” even before starting the orthodontic process, due to cavities or the dental preservation treatments that arise. This is, of course, understandable, as they were not treated with the painless treatments achieved with the advanced laser dental equipment characteristic of Naturadent, which aims to create a focal point and bacteria-free environment for their teeth.
And for both aesthetic and functional aspects to go as smoothly as possible during orthodontic treatment, equipment worth tens of millions of forints is required.
Therefore, the health assessment and possible preventive dental hygiene treatments should not be skipped, while it is extremely important that these are carried out painlessly and quickly. These are the first steps on the path towards a personalised solution and a uniform dentition.
Let's move on to requirements and solutions!
Invisible effectiveness, instead of night-time braces
It’s natural that you wouldn’t want others – for example, at work or on the street – to see that you need orthodontic treatment. If you are looking for a solution that you can wear without it detracting from your appearance, you are in the right place. That is, you are in the second best place on our website, because here you will find the best solutions and experts firsthand for your specific dental questions and needs:
I need help
If you've been considering whether a night guard might be the ideal solution for you, we have some bad news and some good news.
Let's start with the bad news:
The term „night-time orthodontic appliance” is extremely misleading, as one would need to wear it for an average of 12-14 hours daily for the bone to properly „remodel”. Let's face it, in today's hectic, intense world (and life), we don't always have the opportunity for even the necessary 6-8 hours of peaceful sleep. Thus, even ideally, there are 4-6 hours remaining each day when we must become accustomed to a device that isn't „worn all day”. The task is set: we must find an invisible orthodontic appliance that is as comfortable as possible, easy to insert and remove, and also unobtrusive.
And here comes the good news…
Orthodontic treatment planning can only be truly effective with the best tools.
At Naturadent, within our comfortable treatment rooms, we provide the highest quality with two prominent representatives, the 3Shape and iTero scanners, ensuring you receive an invisible orthodontic plan that truly fits your facial harmony 100%%.
Let's see what this means in practice!
In parallel with taking the necessary X-rays and photographic documentation, our experts will perform a 3D scan using the 3Shape scanner, so that you too can see through a clear animation how your goals related to the static balance of your dentition will be achieved.
Our world-class iTero scanner acts as a „digital consultant” to help you choose the optimal treatment package. This smart device, equipped with artificial intelligence, shows you potential before-and-after results based on previous cases through an amazing visualisation. Nothing can escape your notice, as it even sheds light on existing imperfections.
Invisalign: The future of invisible orthodontics, today
Although Invisalign has been on the market for over 20 years, it has only become widespread in Hungary in the last 5-7 years. The brand's popularity is due to its effectiveness, comfort, and above all, its aesthetic appearance.
This is a transparent aligner from which over 8,500,000 patients with perfect dentition worldwide owe their health and beauty. Naturadent has not only opted for Invisalign because it is perhaps one of the most comfortable, invisible orthodontic appliances in the world, but also, among other reasons, because it is reliable in terms of results and offers a guarantee. Furthermore, thanks to its ease of removal and insertion, it does not restrict our patients in terms of what, when, and how they can eat or drink.
Our patient's opinion
For example, Éva Zámbori, one of our guests, thinks this about this top-category invisible orthodontic method:
“For the last 10 years, I have been requesting orthodontic plans, but each time I was put off by the minimum 18-month treatment time that I would have had to wear fixed, wired braces for. Alongside my aesthetic concerns, I felt I couldn't plan that far ahead and didn't want to commit. When I last asked Dr Márta if she could suggest a faster, more modern solution, she recommended Invisalign. I immediately loved that it was an almost invisible and removable solution, which also involved less frequent consultations and, to my surprise, a shorter treatment time. I always received detailed information during consultations; the entire duration of the orthodontic treatment was easy for me to plan. I recommend it to anyone who desires fast, comfortable, and aesthetic orthodontic treatment.”
Numerous available case studies also prove the outstanding effectiveness of Invisalign, so many have tried to imitate the technology. However, the experience and quality represented by the brand are unique in the market.
Our experts believe that copied orthodontic systems are less effective, which is why at Naturadent, we exclusively use the Invisalign system for invisible methods.
Our aim is for our patients to choose the most modern and aesthetically pleasing solution in orthodontics. Discover Invisalign for yourself!
Naturadent Solution Packages with Guarantee – Tailored to You and Your Teeth
It varies from person to person how much adjustment they need. This was also taken into full consideration when the three package offers (which are optimal in terms of both aesthetics and functionality) were created.
Choose a personalised option tailored to you and your facial harmony!
Before presenting the packages, we consider it important to highlight that NaturaDent dental practice holds the Platinum II Provider certification for Invisalign treatment, meaning we have extensive experience in invisible orthodontics.
1. Invisalign Comprehensive – The premier solution for complex cases
If there is significant crowding or misalignment, it is worth choosing this type of treatment. Its advantage is that it delivers the expected results in 3-5 months less time than traditional orthodontics (1.5-2 years on average). Invisalign also provides a 5-year guarantee if the desired outcome is not achieved by the end of the planned orthodontic process. In practice, this means free replacement aligner sets.

2. Invisalign Lite – Aesthetic teeth in under six months
This type of treatment is for patients with minor crowding. It can restore the aesthetics of the dentition within 3-6 months, and Invisalign offers a 2-year warranty.

Our Express treatment is for those who wish to correct minor discrepancies and small aesthetic issues in 2-4 months. Invisalign provides a 1-year guarantee for this type of treatment.

Traditional braces vs. Invisalign, in terms of price
Although many assume Invisalign, an easily removable, metal-free, and quick solution, is considerably more expensive than traditional orthodontics, in reality, this isn't the case.
The only difference is that with traditional solutions, the mandatory monthly check-ups mean a similar amount is paid in multiple instalments. Our patients committed to Invisalign receive their innovative, new aligner sets every 3 months, thus paying for the premium service in fewer instalments.
If you opt for Invisalign clear aligners, you can save yourself time as you won't need to visit your dentist every month like you would with fixed braces (due to check-ups).
Moreover, unlike traditional fixed braces, you won't experience the need to come in for wire trimming because the wire is sticking out at the end of the bracket and irritating your gums or tongue.
Invisalign clear aligners, you see, do not have wires, are virtually invisible, comfortable to wear, and can be removed at any time. The price of Invisalign is approximately the same as that of traditional fixed porcelain braces, which may, however, take much longer. The price of Invisalign clear aligners is capped globally, and a significant advantage is that if a tooth happens to move, any number of aligners can be requested within 5 years to restore the desired position.
“Is it definitely for me?”
It is important to note that in certain cases – when professionally justified – it is worth opting for traditional orthodontics. We understand you may have countless questions you would prefer to ask in person. If you would like to find out what your „orthodontic solution” is, please visit our dental centre, located in Budapest’s 5th district and equipped with its own car park, for a no-obligation consultation!
