A specialist orthodontic practice built on clinical experience

Viaorto was established with a clear clinical focus: providing orthodontic treatment through a combination of specialist knowledge, contemporary technology, and personal attention to each patient. Rather than offering a single standard approach, the practice considers the patient's orthodontic needs, dental health, expectations, and lifestyle when planning treatment.

The practice is founded and led by Dr. Vedrana Grgurevic, specialist in orthodontics. She graduated from the University of Zagreb School of Dental Medicine in 2009 and completed her orthodontic specialization in 2019. Her professional background includes experience in private dental practices and more than three years at Stomatološka poliklinika Zagreb, where she treated a wide range of orthodontic cases, including complex cases requiring interdisciplinary planning.

Throughout her career, Dr. Grgurevic has completed more than 3,000 orthodontic treatments. Her clinical experience and ongoing professional education support the practice's ability to assess different orthodontic problems and select appropriate treatment strategies. Particular areas of expertise include fixed orthodontic appliances, self-ligating systems, and clear aligner therapy.

Orthodontic services and treatment options

Viaorto provides a focused range of orthodontic treatments, allowing the orthodontist to recommend an appliance according to the patient's diagnosis, required tooth movements, and individual preferences. Both conventional and digital approaches are incorporated into treatment planning.

The main treatment options include:

• Traditional fixed braces: Metal braces and aesthetic braces for correcting dental alignment and bite irregularities.
• Self-ligating braces: Metal and aesthetic systems that use specialized brackets to secure the orthodontic archwire without conventional elastic ligatures.
• Damon Ultima: A contemporary self-ligating system in which Dr. Grgurevic has specialized training and substantial clinical experience. Damon Ultima treatment is one of the practice's established fixed-appliance options.
• SPARK clear aligners: Removable transparent orthodontic appliances for suitable patients seeking a less visible alternative to fixed braces. SPARK aligner treatment is available through several programs adapted to different treatment needs.
• Digital aligner planning: Digital treatment planning to assess proposed tooth movements and visualize the intended orthodontic approach before starting active aligner treatment.

Having different orthodontic systems available allows Viaorto to approach treatment decisions according to clinical requirements rather than appliance preference alone. The orthodontist explains the proposed treatment, its practical requirements, and realistic expectations before the patient decides how to proceed.

Orthodontic concerns evaluated at Viaorto

Viaorto provides orthodontic assessment for patients with a variety of dental alignment, spacing, tooth eruption, and bite problems. Some patients are primarily concerned about the appearance of their smile, while others seek specialist evaluation because of irregular tooth contacts, developing bite problems, or previous orthodontic relapse.

Common orthodontic concerns include:

• Dental alignment and spacing: Crowded and misaligned teeth and gaps between teeth.
• Tooth position and eruption: High-positioned canine teeth and protruding front teeth or increased overjet.
• Vertical bite irregularities: Deep bite and open bite.
• Other bite irregularities: Crossbite and underbite.

Every orthodontic condition requires individual assessment. The visible position of the teeth does not always reveal the full complexity of the case, particularly when jaw relationships, dental development, or other oral health factors are involved. At Viaorto, treatment recommendations are based on specialist examination and diagnostic findings, with additional dental or interdisciplinary care considered when necessary.

Digital orthodontics and modern diagnostic technology

Digital technology plays an important role in Viaorto's approach to orthodontic care. The practice uses 3Shape intraoral scanning technology to create detailed three-dimensional digital models of the teeth and dental arches. Conventional impression materials have been replaced by digital scanning in the practice's routine orthodontic workflow.

Digital orthodontic records support several important aspects of care:

• Detailed assessment: Digital models help evaluate tooth positions, dental crowding, spacing, and bite relationships.
• Individual treatment planning: Digital information supports the design and assessment of proposed orthodontic movements.
• Patient communication: Three-dimensional models and treatment simulations help explain the proposed approach and its objectives.
• Clinical documentation: Digital records and dental photography support the monitoring and evaluation of orthodontic progress.

Dr. Grgurevic has additionally completed two specialized educational programs in dental photography. This supports systematic photographic documentation before, during, and after orthodontic treatment and contributes to the practice's detailed approach to clinical evaluation.

Technology is used to complement specialist expertise, not replace it. The orthodontist remains responsible for interpreting diagnostic information, determining the appropriate treatment approach, and monitoring the patient's progress.

Personalized care from consultation to follow-up

Orthodontic treatment is often a long-term commitment, and a good relationship between the patient and orthodontist is an important part of the experience. Viaorto emphasizes individualized attention, clear explanations, and continuity of care throughout treatment.

The practice's approach is organized around several stages:

• Initial consultation and assessment: Understanding the patient's concerns, evaluating dental alignment and bite relationships, and identifying relevant diagnostic needs.
• Individualized treatment planning: Selecting an appropriate orthodontic system, discussing expected treatment requirements, and explaining the recommended approach.
• Ongoing clinical monitoring: Reviewing orthodontic progress through regular appointments and making adjustments when required.
• Retention and long-term maintenance: Providing guidance and appropriate retention measures to help maintain corrected tooth positions after active treatment.

The treatment process also considers the patient's daily routine, oral hygiene, comfort, and ability to follow the prescribed instructions. This is particularly important when deciding between fixed braces and removable aligners, which place different practical demands on patients.

Orthodontic care for children, teenagers, and adults

Viaorto provides specialist orthodontic care across different stages of dental development. Younger patients may require assessment of tooth eruption, spacing, or developing bite relationships, while teenagers commonly undergo treatment during the transition to a permanent dentition.

Adults may seek orthodontic treatment for longstanding alignment concerns, bite irregularities, or changes following earlier orthodontic treatment. The practice considers the condition of the teeth and supporting tissues, existing dental restorations, and individual treatment expectations when evaluating treatment options.

Across all age groups, the objective is to develop a treatment plan that is clinically appropriate and realistic for the individual patient.

Choosing Viaorto for orthodontic treatment in Zagreb

Viaorto brings together specialist orthodontic experience, several established treatment systems, digital diagnostics, and an individualized approach within a dedicated orthodontic practice in Zagreb. Its focus on orthodontics allows the clinical work to remain centered on dental alignment, bite correction, treatment planning, and long-term follow-up.

For patients traveling from other parts of Croatia or internationally, treatment planning also needs to account for the practical requirements of orthodontic care. Fixed braces and clear aligners generally involve repeated appointments, and retention may require additional monitoring after active treatment.

Patients considering treatment can prepare a short description of their concerns, information about previous orthodontic care, and any relevant dental records. These details can help the orthodontic team understand the reason for the consultation and identify the appropriate next step.
