What is the goal of orthodontics?
The goal of orthodontics is to correct and reposition teeth and jaws, both in children and adults, improving their function and appearance. This treatment aims not only for aesthetic purposes but also for health reasons, as it reduces dental and gum diseases.
Do I need orthodontics?
You may be a candidate for orthodontics if you have:
- Misaligned teeth.
- Gaps between teeth.
- Asymmetry between teeth.
- Deep overbite.
- Open bite.
- Mouth breathing.
- Disproportionate teeth compared to the jaws.
What are the ways to straighten teeth?
Mobile Orthodontics
Through mobile orthodontic appliances, intervention is made to completely correct or improve the identified anomaly by the dentist.
Fixed Orthodontics
Through advanced bracket systems, orthodontics moves teeth to create an ideal dental arch, ensuring good interdental contacts for normal oral function.
Transparent Orthodontics
Using a transparent system like NUVOLA, movements that have been virtually simulated in 3-dimensional models are implemented. This allows you to preview how your teeth will look after completing the treatment with transparent aligners. These treatments can correct cases from simple (with 4 or 6 aligners) to more complex ones (with 24-36 aligners). Patients have the autonomy to follow the treatment by wearing the aligners themselves, but your dentist will guide you for regular check-ups after treatment.
Consulting with a qualified orthodontist is crucial to determine the most appropriate treatment for you and to address any questions you may have regarding this procedure.
