I realized that all the doctors in the department have reached a level where I have absolute confidence in them. Confident in their level of knowledge, in their responsibility, in their integrity. I am sure that they can handle most cases on their own.

They may not know something, but I am sure they will come up and ask me or other doctors if necessary. They will not hide the problem, they will not hide it, they will want to solve it, they will accept help.

What is important is this adequate assurance that we have raised smart, intelligent, professional people. And accustomed to learning, who have a high standard of their own work.🔥

One of the frequent comments of patients on withdrawal: «Why didn't I do it earlier? Why didn't I get braces sooner?»

For many years of shyness, worries, doubts, some «more important things,», first the best for the children - then once for yourself.....

There are studies that it can take about 2 years from the first thought of needing braces to the actual installation. This is the time it takes for the patient to travel the «problem-denial-trade-acceptance pathway» 🤪

But you have to start... And then it may turn out that everything is not so scary/difficult/hurtful. And it's only 1.5-2 years and the result will last a lifetime.👌

Reviews of the doctor

Everything is at the highest level, price=quality, excellent team of specialists. Before that, I had a negative experience with orthodontists who offered to remove a retained canine and place an implant, as well as to remove fours or fives. I did not like the prospect of losing my teeth at all. In this regard, I turned to Dubovskaya Marina Anatolievna with the problem of bite, retained canine,  crowding of teeth  and lack of symmetry of the tooth row. From the first visit I liked the approach of Marina Anatolievna as an exceptional professional. A treatment plan was drawn up (all teeth were saved) and deadlines were set, which were followed month by month. Each visit was accompanied by quality team work and good mood. As a result, after 2 years: the retained canine has come into the tooth row, the tooth row has clearly fallen into the symmetry of the face, the correct bite has been formed, the quality of the teeth has been preserved. The treatment was unnoticeable and without negative elements. The result exceeded all expectations! I am very grateful to Marina Anatolievna, thank you.

I've been taken off brackets two weeks ago, and I can confidently say that the result Marina Anatolievna has brought me to is a fairy tale! I had unevenly growing teeth on my narrow lower jaw, which caused my gum to droop. A treatment plan was selected for me, thanks to which my lower teeth neatly fell into line and my gum was back in place! I look at myself in the mirror again and again and do not believe that all this is braces! Marina Anatolievna is a professional of high level, she is very attentive and delicate. She selects the treatment exactly for the patient and knows how to solve the most difficult situations. I was advised to turn to her by a colleague, and from the first appointment I realized that - yes, I am ready to fully trust and under her guidance the whole course of treatment, which in the end took 2 years. (I had consulted at other clinics before, but nowhere had I seen such a responsible approach as at Marina Anatolievna!) I really liked that all new changes were planned based on the current progress of treatment and that all my wishes were taken into account. My new smile is perfect and I am eternally grateful for it!

I would like to express my great appreciation and gratitude to Marina Anatolievna Dubovskaya for my son's orthodontic treatment, which lasted 2 years. We came to the clinic after endless wandering and treatment in other clinics, where for 3 years they could not help us. We had a rather rare case - a missing front tooth in the upper row, which created a huge complex for my son. As it turned out later, it was across the tooth row in the gum and no one during this time was able to see and provide appropriate help in other clinics. Marina Anatolievna, surgeon Kondratyeva Natalia Aleksandrovna brilliantly coped with this task, for which heartfelt thanks from our entire family!
