Modern orthodontics in Budapest, at Naphegy
We offer the full spectrum of orthodontics—for adults, teenagers, and children alike. Our philosophy is that every smile is unique, so we design every treatment plan individually, taking into account the patient’s needs, life situation, and aesthetic expectations.
Our goal is that patients not only leave with a beautiful smile, but also feel calm and safe throughout the treatment process. To achieve this, we provide state-of-the-art equipment, innovative technologies, and an empathetic approach.
Adult orthodontics
Adult orthodontics is no longer an exception—it’s an increasingly common choice. Whether for aesthetic concerns or bite issues, modern methods allow for discreet, effective, and comfortable treatment.
Treatable problems in adults:
- Narrow dental arch
- Severe crowding
- Bite discrepancies (deep bite, crossbite, open bite)
- Relapse after previous treatments
Methods used:
- Clear aligners
- Self-ligating braces (metal and ceramic)
- Conventional fixed appliances
Clear aligners (aligner systems)
Aligner systems consist of transparent plastic trays that move the teeth almost invisibly.
Advantages:
- Aesthetic and discreet — barely noticeable
- Removable — easy to take out for eating and cleaning
- Digitally planned — treatment progress trackable with 3D simulation
Disadvantages:
- Higher cost compared to traditional appliances
- Requires discipline — must be worn 20–22 hours a day
Self-ligating fixed braces
These appliances have built-in clips that reduce friction, allowing teeth to move faster and more comfortably.
Advantages:
- Shorter treatment time
- Easier to clean
- More comfortable to wear
Disadvantage:
- Higher cost than classic appliances
Traditional fixed braces
Classic bracket systems remain an effective solution. They are available in metal, ceramic, or sapphire versions.
Advantages:
- Reliable and effective
- Most affordable category
- Colored ligatures available — popular among teenagers
Disadvantages:
- Longer treatment time
- Harder to clean
Children’s and teen orthodontics
The goal of treatments during childhood and adolescence is to correct developmental discrepancies in time and prevent more serious issues later on.
Removable appliances:
- Functional appliances (e.g., Fränkel, Hansa)
- Myofunctional trainers — to correct bad habits (thumb sucking, tongue thrust)
- Retention appliances — to stabilize results after treatment
Fixed appliances for teenagers:
- Classic or self-ligating brackets
- Colored ligatures and personalized accessories
Advantage:
During childhood, teeth and jaws are easier to shape, so treatment time is often shorter and later surgical interventions can be avoided.
Hygiene and adjunct treatments
In addition to orthodontics, our clinic offers a number of adjunct treatments that help maintain oral health:
- Scaling and polishing
- Teeth whitening
- Fissure sealing
- Gum treatments
- Pediatric procedures (baby tooth fillings,
extractions, gentle acclimatization)
Treatment process step by step
Taking impressions and photos
to refine the diagnosis.
Developing the treatment plan
shared decision-making with the patient.
Placement/hand-over of the appliance
with detailed instructions.
Regular check-ups and activation
required every 4 weeks.
Retention phase
to preserve the final result long-term.
Follow-up

Why are regular check-ups important?
Orthodontic treatment delivers stable, long-term results only if the patient returns for regular controls.
This allows us to correct small deviations in time and ensure the appliance continues to work optimally.
