What is orthodontics?
Orthodontics is the dental specialty that corrects tooth position and the relationship between the jaws. Through brackets, wires or clear aligners, progressive force is applied to move teeth to their ideal position.
In our practice, orthodontic treatment is fully integrated with oral rehabilitation, implant and dental aesthetic plans, ensuring coordinated planning between specialists.

Frequently asked questions
▸At what age is it ideal to start orthodontics?
Orthodontics can be done at any age. In children, an evaluation is recommended from age 7 to detect problems early. In adults there is no age limit, as long as periodontal health is adequate.
▸How long does orthodontic treatment take?
It varies between 12 and 36 months depending on case complexity. Mild cases with Invisalign can be resolved in 6-12 months. The specialist sets the exact time after diagnosis.
▸Which is better, Invisalign or braces?
It depends on the case. Invisalign uses removable, nearly invisible, more comfortable clear aligners, ideal for mild to moderate cases and for adults. Metal or ceramic braces handle more complex cases and don't depend on the patient wearing the aligners. The right option is defined at your scanner-based diagnosis.
▸Does Invisalign hurt less than braces?
Invisalign generally causes less discomfort since it has no metal parts that irritate the tissues. However, both systems create pressure during the first days of each aligner change or adjustment.
▸Can I get orthodontics if I need implants?
Yes, and often it must be done in that order. Orthodontics can create the ideal space for placing the implant afterward. Our integrated team coordinates both treatments simultaneously.
