Dr. Claudia Wand
English-Speaking Orthodontist & Paediatric Dentist in Barcelona: Specialist in Invisalign, Dentofacial Orthopaedics & Gentle Child Dental Care
Dr. Claudia Wand is an experienced dental specialist in Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopaedics and Paediatric Dentistry who has been an integral member of the Turó Park Dental Clinic team since 2020. Located in the exclusive Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district of Barcelona, her clinical philosophy is rooted in gentle, conservative, and minimally invasive dentistry, dedicated to fostering harmonious facial and dental growth in young patients, as well as delivering discreet, high-precision aesthetic smile corrections for adults.
Having completed advanced hospital postgraduate training at the renowned Sant Joan de Déu Children's Hospital and the University of Barcelona, Dr. Wand specialises in cutting-edge clear aligner therapy (Invisalign and Angel Aligners) using 3D intraoral digital scanners and AI-powered movement simulations (ClinCheck and Virtual Care). Furthermore, she holds official clinical certification in conscious sedation with nitrous oxide (laughing gas), providing an entirely comfortable, stress-free, and pain-free clinical experience for children and patients experiencing dental anxiety.

Frequently Asked Questions — Orthodontics & Paediatric Dentistry (Dr. Claudia Wand)
👩⚕️ About Dr. Claudia Wand & Languages
She is an English-speaking specialist in Orthodontics, Dentofacial Orthopaedics, and Paediatric Dentistry, registered with the Catalan Dental College (COEC No. 08008404). She completed her hospital Master’s degree in Orthodontics at Sant Joan de Déu Children's Hospital / University of Barcelona, holds a postgraduate diploma in Paediatric Dentistry (SCOE), and is certified as an official Invisalign Provider and in conscious sedation.
Dr. Wand conducts consultations with native ease in English, Spanish, and Catalan. Having completed her pre-university A-Level education in Scotland (UK), she communicates with bilingual fluency, enabling international families and expatriates in Barcelona to clearly understand clinical assessments, dental plans, and private insurance pre-authorisations.
🦷 Clear Aligners (Invisalign) & Orthodontics
Clear aligners are virtually invisible, fully removable, and significantly more comfortable than conventional fixed brackets, allowing you to eat whatever you like and clean your teeth without difficulty. High-resolution 3D digital impressions with the iTero scanner and ClinCheck software let you preview your custom smile transformation before treatment starts.
An initial orthodontic assessment is strongly recommended around age 6 or 7, coinciding with the arrival of the first permanent molars. Interceptive orthodontics enables Dr. Wand to guide jaw growth early, widening narrow palates and preventing the need for tooth extractions or corrective surgery in adulthood.
🧸 Paediatric Dentistry & Pain-Free Sedation
Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) induces a soothing sensation of deep relaxation within minutes, eliminating dental anxiety and discomfort. Patients remain completely awake, responsive, and cooperative throughout the procedure, and recovery is immediate upon breathing pure oxygen at the end of the appointment.
