What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is an effective solution to correct dental malposition and alignment problems, using appliances that exert controlled pressure on the teeth to move them into their ideal position. The treatment is based on the principle of bone remodeling, where teeth are gradually moved along the maxillary or mandibular bone, improving both the functionality and aesthetics of the smile.
Traditional orthodontics
Traditional orthodontics is one of the most effective and proven methods for correcting dental alignment and bite problems. Metal brackets, combined with archwires and ligatures, apply controlled force to the teeth, gradually moving them into their ideal position. It is a versatile and highly effective option for both adults and adolescents.
Damon and Self-Ligating Braces
Damon brackets are an evolution of traditional orthodontics. This self-ligating system does not require the use of elastic ligatures, which reduces friction and allows teeth to move more freely and quickly. Damon brackets offer a more comfortable patient experience and, in many cases, decrease overall treatment time.
Clear aligners: Invisalign and SureSmile
Clear aligners, such as Invisalign and SureSmile, offer a virtually invisible solution for correcting tooth position.
These customized aligners are changed approximately every two weeks, gradually moving the teeth into their ideal alignment. In addition, because they are removable, they facilitate oral hygiene and allow for unrestricted eating.
Therefore, Invisalign and SureSmile have become especially popular among adults seeking discreet and comfortable treatment. As a result, they offer a convenient option for those who want to improve their smile without compromising their lifestyle.
Aesthetic sapphire brackets
For those seeking to correct the alignment of their teeth in a discreet manner, sapphire brackets are an excellent option.
These brackets are transparent, which makes them almost invisible on the teeth. Made of sapphire crystal, a highly resistant and esthetic material, they offer the same results as metal brackets, but with a much more attractive appearance.
Interceptive Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics
Interceptive orthodontics, aimed at growing children, seeks to correct skeletal and dental alignment problems before they become more serious.
This approach guides the development of the jaw bones, reducing the need for invasive treatments in the future. In addition, when combined with dentofacial orthopedics, it uses appliances that influence the growth of the facial bones, correcting malocclusions or imbalances between the maxilla and mandible.
In this way, a more harmonious development is promoted from early stages.

Frequently Asked Questions about Orthodontics
What type of orthodontics is best for me?
The choice depends on your dental needs, esthetic preferences and budget.
Metal brackets are effective and economical, while sapphire brackets are more discreet.
Self-ligating aligners, such as Damon, reduce treatment time and discomfort, and clear aligners such as Invisalign or SureSmile are ideal if you are looking for something esthetic and removable, although they may not be suitable for very complex cases.
How long will my orthodontic treatment last?
On average, treatments last between 12 and 24 months, but depending on the complexity of your case, some simple cases will only take a few months. A detailed diagnosis will determine the exact time.
Is orthodontic treatment painful?
The cost of the procedure may vary because each case is unique, depending on several factors:
There may be slight discomfort at the beginning and after adjustments, but it usually disappears in a few days.
Clear aligners are generally less obtrusive than traditional brackets.
How much does it cost to get braces?
The cost of braces can vary considerably depending on several factors, such as the type of braces you choose (metal, clear aligners, sapphire…), the duration of treatment and the complexity of the case.
Therefore, the ideal is to have an initial consultation, we will evaluate your specific situation and recommend the most appropriate plan for your needs and budget.

Are clear aligners, such as Invisalign, as effective as braces?
Yes, they are effective for mild to moderate cases of alignment or bite, but they are not always the best option for severe problems.
Braces are usually more versatile for any case. A personalized evaluation will determine which option is best suited for you.
How should I take care of my teeth during treatment?
Oral hygiene is fundamental:
- Brush after every meal.
- Use dental floss, interproximal brush or an oral irrigator.
- Avoid foods that may damage the brackets or stain the aligners.
Visit the orthodontist regularly for check-ups and adjustments.
Can I eat and drink normally with braces?
With braces, hard, sticky or crunchy foods, such as nuts, candy or chewing gum, should be avoided.
With clear aligners, you can eat anything, but they must be removed before meals. In both cases, it is essential to brush after eating.
Do I need orthodontics?
Only an orthodontist can determine if you need treatment after a clinical and radiographic analysis.
Common reasons include crooked teeth, crowding, excessive spacing or bite problems (such as overbite, underbite or crossbite).
