OrthoDontic (Afonso Pena) is a dental clinic located on Rua Afonso Pena in the center of Cascavel, Parana, Brazil, operating as a unit of OrthoDontic Brasil — the largest orthodontics network in Brazil, with over 350 clinics across the country, 23 years of operation, and more than 8 million patients served. The Cascavel Afonso Pena unit is under the clinical responsibility of Brenda Laise Queiroz (CRO-PR 26774), a dental surgeon who oversees the delivery of orthodontic and general dental services at this location.
As part of one of Brazil's most established dental franchise networks, OrthoDontic (Afonso Pena) gives patients in Cascavel access to a nationally standardized clinical protocol, modern equipment, and the full range of orthodontic appliance options developed and refined by the OrthoDontic Brasil group. The clinic serves patients of all ages, from children and adolescents beginning their first orthodontic treatment to adults seeking discreet alignment correction.
Services Offered
OrthoDontic (Afonso Pena) provides both orthodontic and general dental services:
- Traditional Orthodontic Appliance (Aparelho Tradicional): The most widely used orthodontic system, offering a proven and cost-effective approach to correcting tooth alignment and bite discrepancies. Fixed metal brackets and archwires apply controlled pressure to guide teeth into their optimal positions over the course of treatment.
- Self-Ligating Appliance (Aparelho Autoligado): A modern evolution of fixed orthodontic treatment, self-ligating brackets eliminate the need for elastic ligatures, reducing friction and allowing for potentially faster tooth movement. This system often requires fewer adjustment appointments and can improve patient comfort during active treatment.
- Aesthetic Appliance (Aparelho Estetico): For patients who prefer a less visible orthodontic option while maintaining the predictability of fixed treatment, aesthetic appliances use transparent or tooth-colored brackets that blend with natural tooth color, offering a more discreet appearance during the treatment period.
- Transparent Aligner (Alinhador Transparente): Removable clear aligners provide a nearly invisible alternative to fixed appliances. Custom-fabricated from transparent medical-grade plastic, aligners are worn for the majority of the day and removed for eating and oral hygiene, making them a popular choice for adult patients and professionals.
- Restorations: General restorative dentistry is available at the clinic to address cavities and damaged teeth, ensuring that patients' oral health is maintained and optimized throughout and alongside their orthodontic treatment.
- Cleanings and Scaling (Profilaxia e Raspagem): Professional cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and staining from tooth surfaces and around the gum line. Regular cleaning appointments are especially important for patients with fixed orthodontic appliances, where oral hygiene maintenance requires additional attention.
- Teeth Whitening (Clareamento Dental): Professional whitening treatments are offered to lighten tooth shade and enhance smile brightness, complementing orthodontic results with an improved color outcome.
The OrthoDontic Brasil Network
OrthoDontic Brasil operates under the tagline Maior Rede de Ortodontia do Brasil — Brazil's Largest Orthodontics Network — and Transformando Sorrisos — Transforming Smiles. The network's scale enables continuous investment in clinical protocols, technology, and patient experience tools, including a mobile app that allows patients to track appointments, view treatment history, and manage payments from their smartphones.
Each unit in the network operates under a franchise model that ensures consistency of standards while allowing local clinical teams to provide personalized, community-level care. The Cascavel Afonso Pena unit benefits from this dual structure — the infrastructure of a national leader in orthodontics combined with the attention of a dedicated local team.
