Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry that deals with the correction of incorrectly positioned teeth and bones. Teeth in bad position and those that do not bite correctly against each other are difficult to keep clean, run the risk of early loss due to caries and periodontal diseases and cause extra stress on the muscles of chewing that can generate headaches, TMJ syndrome and various pains in the neck, shoulders and back. In addition, rotated or incorrectly positioned teeth detract from our appearance.

If you have any of the following conditions, you may need orthodontic treatment:

• Overbite: The crowns of the upper anterior teeth almost completely cover the crowns of the lower teeth.
• Underbite: The patient presents a "bulldog" appearance, either the lower teeth extend too far forward or the upper teeth are positioned too far back.
• Crossbite: Occurs when when biting normally, the upper teeth do not fall slightly in front of the lower front teeth or slightly outside the lower back teeth.
• Open bite: Space that occurs between the biting surfaces of the anterior teeth when the rest are closed from somewhere.
• Displaced Midline: Occurs when the imaginary line dividing the upper anterior teeth in the center does not line up with the lower teeth.
• Spacing: Separations or spaces between teeth as a result of missing pieces or teeth that do not take up all the space.
• Crowding: When the teeth are too large to be accommodated in the space provided by the jaws.

Orthodontic treatments are indicated for patients of any age, and even if you are missing some teeth, you can still have an implant treatment.

After a personalised study by our expert team, the type of orthodontics to be used is assessed, depending on the case, using "Invisible", Fixed or Removable appliances.

It is a transparent, comfortable and fast system that allows you to obtain the smile you always wanted, but, without metals or wires. It works by using a series of clear aligners that no one will ever see you wear. So you can smile whenever you want, both during and after treatment. It also shortens the treatment by a few months.

Metallic: stainless steel fixed to the teeth and to an arch by means of rubbers. They will put each piece in its place with high efficiency.
Ceramic: made of sapphire of high aesthetic quality and which, due to its colour, is disguised with the tooth, resembling its colour, which helps to smile without complexes.

They're removable devices. Sometimes treatments need removable orthodontics to achieve a goal that fixed orthodontics would not. It depends on the problem, age, the collaboration of the patient and other aspects to be assessed by the orthodontist. In this case it is necessary that the patient collaborates so that the orthodontics is placed as long as possible. Something positive is that in certain situations he can go without it.

There is no age limit for orthodontic treatment. Teeth can be corrected at any age. Children are advised to take them to the orthodontist before the age of six in order to detect any major dental or skeletal changes early and correct them easily.
Orthodontics will return your teeth to their ideal position. Thus improving your image and the function of your teeth. It will also avoid possible problems in the future.
