Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that moves teeth — and sometimes guides how the jaws meet — into a corrected position. It’s done with braces, clear aligners, or a combination of both, and it’s planned against your bite, not just against how straight your teeth look in a photo.
Anyone with crowded or overlapping teeth, gaps, an overbite, underbite, crossbite, or teeth that have drifted after losing another tooth. It suits teenagers and adults equally — there’s no upper age limit on straightening teeth, only a difference in how long it takes.
Veneers change the shape and colour of a tooth quickly, but they cover a problem rather than correct it. If your bite doesn’t close evenly, veneers don’t fix that — and they can wear unevenly, or come under strain, if the underlying bite problem is never addressed. Orthodontics corrects the position and the function; veneers only change what you see.
Most people considering treatment abroad have never seen the building they would be walking into. Here is ours.
Treatment length depends on how much movement is needed: mild crowding corrected with aligners can be finished in around six months; a full bite correction with fixed braces can take eighteen months to two years.
Photographs, a digital scan of your teeth, and a bite assessment. We record how your jaw closes, not only how your teeth line up front-on.
Braces, aligners, or a combination, chosen for what your case actually needs, not for what looks least visible.
Fixed adjustment stages, or a sequence of aligners, moving your teeth in planned increments.
Reviewed at set intervals. Some can be tracked with photos between trips; the key stages are checked in person in Budapest.
Once teeth are in position, a retainer holds them there. Skipping this step is the single biggest reason orthodontic results relapse.
The standard route. A Camlog or Straumann implant, an abutment, and a zirconia crown from our own laboratory.
A two-piece ceramic implant with a zirconia crown, for patients who want no metal in the mouth at all. Very few clinics in Europe offer this.
Where bone quality is good and the tooth is coming out anyway, the implant can go in at the same visit with a temporary crown straight away.

Prices are indicative. The exact price of your treatment is calculated at your first consultation, once we have seen the X-rays. GBP figures are converted for guidance at approximately 427 HUF to the pound.
Send an X-ray, or three photos on your phone. A dentist will look at it and write back with a provisional plan and an indicative price — before you commit to anything, and before you book a flight.

“I was nervous about visiting an unfamiliar clinic, but I had a great experience. The clinic was clean, modern and stylish, and my doctor did an amazing job.”
“Arrival, airport pickup and appointment scheduling went very smoothly. Dr Ecsegi was highly competent, and I felt well cared for during my treatment.”
“I had been an extremely anxious patient for many years and carefully researched clinics before choosing CosmoDent. I’m incredibly happy with my experience.”
“The perfect dental clinic! Several dentists told me they couldn’t replace my two front teeth with implants following an accident—but CosmoDent helped me.”
“This was by far the best dental experience of my life. I travelled to Budapest after weeks of pain and difficult experiences with several dental clinics in Paris.”

It depends on how your teeth are crowded and whether the correction needs to move a tooth’s root, not just tip the crown. We can usually tell from your scan which options are realistic for your case, and we’ll say so honestly rather than push the option that suits us.
No. Most adjustment stages can be tracked with photos between visits, with in-person checks in Budapest at the key stages of your plan. How many trips your case needs is confirmed once we know the treatment plan.
The biology of tooth movement is the same at any age, so no — it works. It can take a little longer in adults because bone remodels more slowly, and existing dental work (crowns, old fillings) sometimes needs to be planned around, which is exactly what the assessment scan is for.
Anywhere from around six months for mild aligner cases to eighteen months or two years for a full bite correction with fixed braces. We give you a specific estimate once we’ve seen your scan, not a generic range.
You move into retention: a retainer, worn as instructed, holds your teeth in their new position. Teeth continue to have a natural pull back toward their old position for years, which is why skipping retention is the most common reason a good result doesn’t last.
That’s the point of planning gnathologically rather than cosmetically. We assess how your jaw closes and design the movement around that, so the result is stable to bite on, not just straight to look at.
Upload a panoramic X-ray if you have one. If not, three clear phone photos are enough to start. A dentist reviews what you send and you receive a written provisional plan with an indicative price.
No obligation, no deposit, and no need to travel to find out whether an implant is even the right answer.
