To help you decide if we’re the right fit for you, we’ve answered the most frequently asked questions below.

Who do we treat at DoctorDent

At DoctorDent, we help patients seeking specialist orthodontic care: adults, teens and kids who want clear aligners (mostly Spark) or Damon braces.We offer treatment to people who live in Budapest or can visit regularly.

If you’re only in Budapest for a short time or want a “quick fix” or “take-away aligners”, this service is NOT for you.

Do you also do general dental treatments?

No. We are a specialist orthodontic clinic.

We do not offer:

  • Fillings
  • Extractions
  • Implants
  • Emergency dental care
  • Prosthetics

We focus 100% on orthodontics: braces and aligners. We also offer professional cleaning and tooth whitening.

Can you suggest a good dentist in Budapest?

Yes, but only after a personal consultation, based on your specific needs.

Can I get braces or aligners if I only visit Budapest once?

No. Orthodontic treatment requires regular follow-up visits every 6–8 weeks, and the process usually takes up to 1.5 years.

Without these visits, we cannot guarantee results or proper care.

If you’re here only for a short stay, we can:

  • Offer a consultation
  • Make a scan
  • Give you a treatment plan (for use in your home country)
  • Provide a second opinion

We do NOT offer “take-home” aligners or remote treatments.

Do you offer Invisalign or Spark aligners?

Yes. We offer both.

Most of our patients choose Spark because:

  • It’s more affordable than Invisalign
  • The quality is excellent
  • It’s made by Ormco (Damon braces manufacturer)

How much does orthodontic treatment cost?

We do not send quotes based on photos, emails, or messages.

What’s included in the first visit?

After a physical examination, we discuss possible treatment options. A personalized written plan is provided only after impression and X-ray analysis (see the orthodontic treatment process). This includes potential solutions, estimated duration, and costs.

Do you offer free consultations?

No. The consultation has a fee. This covers all diagnostics needed to start treatment. There are no hidden charges.

Do I have to visit the clinic in person to start?

Yes. It is absolutely necessary.
We do NOT offer online consultation.

Do I have to visit the clinic during the treatment?

Yes. Typically, once in every 6-8 weeks, less frequently if you opt for Spark invisible aligners.

Orthodontics is a process that needs:

  • Detailed in-person diagnosis
  • Regular adjustments
  • Close professional follow-up

We do not offer remote or take-away orthodontic solutions.

Do you speak English?

Yes, our orthodontists and staff speak fluent English. Dr. Balla also speaks Spanish.
