Treatments & Specialties
DR. DAVID digitalna ortodoncija focuses exclusively on orthodontic treatment, with a comprehensive range of solutions for adults, teenagers, and children. The clinic's specialist scope includes:

The exclusive focus on orthodontics — rather than offering a broad general dentistry menu — allows DR. DAVID digitalna ortodoncija to deliver a depth of specialist expertise in Split that goes beyond what a general dental practice can typically provide.
Technology & Facilities
True to its name, DR. DAVID digitalna ortodoncija is built around digital orthodontic technology. The practice integrates precise digital procedures and devices at every stage of the orthodontic workflow — from initial assessment and digital smile simulation through to treatment monitoring and retention planning. Key technological capabilities include:
- Digital treatment planning software — enabling accurate modeling of tooth movements and predictive visualization of treatment outcomes
- Invisalign ClinCheck® digital planning — the proprietary 3D simulation system used to plan every stage of Invisalign treatment before a single aligner is worn
- Digital imaging and records — for precise orthodontic diagnosis, cephalometric analysis, and progress monitoring
- Intraoral scanning — digital impressions replacing traditional dental molds for patient comfort and precision
The integration of digital technology throughout the practice is not merely a marketing claim but a structural feature of how DR. DAVID delivers orthodontic care in Split — reducing treatment uncertainty, improving outcome predictability, and enhancing the patient experience through clear visual communication of expected results.
Why Choose DR. DAVID digitalna ortodoncija in Split
Several factors make DR. DAVID digitalna ortodoncija the premier choice for specialist orthodontic treatment in Split. First, the credentials of Dr. David Raičković are exceptional: NYU-trained, internationally recognized as a lecturer, and holding Invisalign Diamond status — a designation that places him among the elite tier of Invisalign providers globally and reflects an exceptionally high volume of successfully treated Invisalign cases. This level of Invisalign specialization is rare in Croatia and distinguishes the clinic significantly from general dental practices that offer orthodontics as a secondary service.
Second, the clinic's exclusive orthodontic focus means that patients receive the undivided attention of a dedicated specialist — not a general dentist dabbling in orthodontics. This specialist approach translates directly into better treatment planning, fewer complications, more efficient treatment duration, and more aesthetically satisfying outcomes. The clinic is consistently recognized as one of the top two dental clinics in Split based on patient ratings.
Third, orthodontic treatment costs in Split — including Invisalign — are significantly more affordable than equivalent specialist orthodontic care in Western Europe, making DR. DAVID digitalna ortodoncija an attractive option for patients from the UK, Germany, Austria, and other high-cost countries who are seeking specialist clear aligner or fixed orthodontic treatment.

DAVID digitalna ortodoncija in Split consistently report a highly professional experience marked by meticulous attention to detail, modern equipment, and excellent clinical communication. Dr. Raičković's international background and teaching experience translate into a practitioner who can explain complex orthodontic concepts clearly and accessibly, helping patients understand the reasoning behind their treatment plan and feel confident in the process.
The digital approach to treatment planning means patients can visualize the expected outcome of their orthodontic treatment — including a digital simulation of how their smile will look after treatment — before committing to a course of care. This transparency reduces uncertainty and builds patient confidence. The clinic's strong reputation in Split and consistently high patient ratings reflect an organization that treats clinical excellence not as an exception but as the standard expectation for every case it takes on.
