Ortho
Specialist orthodontic clinic in Rijeka
Ortho Rijeka is a specialist orthodontic clinic in Rijeka, founded with the goal of offering patients more than conventional orthodontic therapy. We focus on digital orthodontics, which allows us to straighten teeth and correct bite irregularities precisely and efficiently in children, adolescents, and adults, with treatments that are individually planned and tailored to the real needs of each patient.
For us, orthodontics is not a quick aesthetic correction, but a process during which trust is built and a special relationship with the patient is developed.
Orthodontic therapy does not affect only the appearance of the smile, but also chewing function, the health of the jaw joints, and the overall harmony of the face. That is why we approach each patient thoroughly, strategically, and with a clear long-term vision of the result.
Modern technology for maximum precision in orthodontic therapy
Complete diagnostics in one place
At Ortho Rijeka, patients have access to complete orthodontic diagnostics in one location, ensuring safety, precision, and clarity from the very first examination.
We use modern diagnostic equipment that enables detailed analysis of the teeth, jaws, and bite:
- 3D X-ray (CBCT) device for three-dimensional analysis of the jaws and teeth
- Panoramic 2D imaging
- Cephalostat for orthodontic analysis of growth and jaw relationships
- iTero Lumina intraoral scanner with NIRI technology for non-invasive caries detection
This approach enables comprehensive diagnostic documentation to be completed in just one visit and the preparation of a precise and safe treatment plan that provides patients with a clear understanding of their dental condition and orthodontic treatment options from the very beginning.
International education and high professional standards in orthodontics
Expertise behind Ortho Rijeka
The clinic is led by orthodontic specialist dr.sc. Tihana Zibar Belašić, dr.med.dent., with more than 16 years of professional experience exclusively in the field of orthodontics. Her passion for orthodontics developed during her studies in dental medicine, when it became clear that this was the field to which she would dedicate her entire professional career.
She completed her specialization in orthodontics at a prestigious university in Italy, along with additional scientific and professional education and a doctoral dissertation in the field of orthodontics. International experience and continuous professional development have enabled the acquisition of knowledge and an approach that differs from standard practice, and high professional standards are applied in everyday work with patients.
According to Dr. Tihana, orthodontics can be compared to assembling a complex puzzle – each tooth has its place, and therapy is built step by step. The final result must be functional, stable, and aesthetically balanced, and the smile that a patient proudly shows at the end of therapy is the greatest motivation and confirmation of the purpose of daily work.
