Advanced Orthodontics: Align Your Smile, Improve Your Health
At our dental clinic, we specialize in orthodontic treatment, offering a wide variety of options to correct dental alignment problems and malocclusions (incorrect bites). Our goal is to help you achieve a straight, aesthetic and functional smile that improves both your oral health and your confidence.
We have different types of treatments to adapt to the needs and preferences of each patient:
-
Invisible Orthodontics (clear aligners): This is the preferred option for those seeking maximum discretion. We use customized and removable aligners that are changed periodically to adjust the position of the teeth gradually. It is a virtually invisible technique that allows you to eat without restrictions and maintain optimal hygiene.
-
High Precision Metal Brackets: Traditional brackets remain a durable and highly effective option for correcting any alignment problems. They are connected by state-of-the-art archwires that gradually adjust to move teeth into their correct position with complete predictability.
-
Aesthetic Brackets (Ceramic or Sapphire): If you prefer a more discreet option without sacrificing the effectiveness of fixed orthodontics, we have brackets made of transparent or tooth-colored materials. They provide a much more aesthetic and camouflaged appearance throughout the treatment.
-
Interceptive and Functional Orthodontics: Fundamental in pediatric patients. These appliances help guide the growth of the jaw bones and correct spacing or crossbite problems before all the permanent teeth erupt, simplifying future treatment.
-
Micro Anchorage Screws: We incorporate temporary anchorage technology to perform complex dental movements that were previously impossible. These small devices allow us to speed up treatment and achieve more precise results in cases of severe malocclusions.
-
3D Intraoral Scanning and Digital Diagnosis: Forget about annoying pastes. We take an accurate digital impression of your mouth to plan your smile in 3D before we start.
-
Retention Phase (Guarantee of results): Just as important is moving teeth as keeping them in place. At the end of any treatment, we place customized fixed and removable retainers to prevent teeth from returning to their initial position, guaranteeing that your new smile will last a lifetime.
Our specialists will perform a complete orthodontic study (including x-rays and digital diagnosis) to recommend the most appropriate plan, explaining in detail the process, the estimated duration and the expected results for your particular case.
2. Pediatric Dentistry: We take care of the smile of the little ones.
We understand that the first experience at the dentist marks the future of a child’s oral health. Therefore, in our clinic we offer an environment designed exclusively for them, where health and fun go hand in hand.
-
Specialized Attention and Adaptation: We have expert professionals in child psychology trained in behavior management. We make sure that each visit is comfortable, fun and free of fear, creating a safe environment where the child feels the protagonist.
-
Preventive Dentistry for Children: We perform adapted cleanings and apply Pit and Fissure Sealants. This technique consists of applying a protective resin on the newly erupted permanent molars to shield them against caries in their most vulnerable and difficult to access areas.
-
Nerve Treatments (Pulpotomies and Pulpectomies): When a cavity affects the nerve of a baby tooth, we perform specific treatments to eliminate the infection without losing the tooth. It is vital to avoid the premature loss of these teeth, as they act as guides for the permanent teeth.
-
Space maintainers: In case of accidental or premature loss of a temporary tooth, we place customized devices to prevent adjacent teeth from shifting. This ensures that the permanent tooth has the necessary space to erupt properly, preventing future crowding problems.
-
Dentistry for Babies: We offer early advice from the appearance of the first tooth. We help you with guidelines on breastfeeding, the correct use of the pacifier and hygiene of the first gums to prevent the appearance of “baby bottle tooth decay”.
-
Treatment of Dental Trauma: We have an emergency service to address broken, fractured or displaced teeth due to falls or blows. Acting quickly is key to save the tooth and ensure the viability of the permanent tooth that is forming underneath.
-
Education, Motivation and Diet Control: We not only cure, we also teach. We conduct personalized brushing workshops and diet instructions so that children understand the importance of taking care of their mouth and become the guardians of their own smile.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is invisible orthodontics better than traditional braces?
Both systems are equally effective thanks to today’s technology. The choice depends on your priorities: clear aligners offer total esthetics and comfort for eating and cleaning your teeth, while brackets are ideal for those who prefer not to have to worry about removing and putting on the appliance. After a digital study, we will recommend the best option for your case.
What are micro-screws and what are they used for?
They are small temporary anchorage devices that are placed painlessly. They allow us to perform complex dental movements with a precision that was previously impossible, achieving perfect results in less time and avoiding, in many cases, having to perform extractions of healthy teeth.
What do I do if a bracket comes off or I lose an aligner?
This is not a serious emergency, but you should call us as soon as possible. A loose bracket causes that tooth to stop moving into the correct position. If you lose an aligner, we will let you know if you should move on to the next one or if we need to order a replacement so that you don’t lose the progress you have made.
Why do I have to wear retainers when I finish my orthodontics?
Teeth have a “memory” and a natural tendency to return to their original position. Retainers (fixed and nighttime) are the only guarantee that your investment and your smile will last a lifetime. Not wearing them often results in a second orthodontic treatment years later.
Can orthodontics be done if I have gum or socket problems?
Yes, as long as the periodontal disease is controlled and healthy. As for crowns or caps, they are not a problem; brackets or aligners can work on them without damaging them.
What are crack sealants used for?
They are a protective layer that “fills” the deep grooves of the permanent molars. They prevent food debris from getting trapped in areas where the toothbrush bristles cannot reach, drastically reducing the risk of caries in children.
What is the difference between a pulpotomy and a root canal?
Pulpotomy is a treatment exclusively for baby teeth where only the damaged part of the nerve of the crown is removed, keeping the root. It is a much faster and simpler process than a root canal, designed to save the tooth until it falls out naturally.
My child has lost a baby tooth prematurely, is something wrong?
Yes, the baby tooth holds the space for the permanent tooth. If it is lost prematurely, the neighboring teeth will lean into the gap, blocking the eruption of the new tooth. In these cases, we place a space maintainer to avoid future complex orthodontics.
What is interceptive orthodontics and why is it done at 6-7 years of age?
At this age, the jaw bones are still malleable. Interceptive orthodontics takes advantage of growth to correct “crossbite” or “small jaw” problems. If we wait until adulthood, these problems can only be corrected with surgery.
How should I act in case of dental trauma (blow to a tooth)?
If the tooth has broken, keep the fragment in milk or serum and come to the clinic immediately; we can often glue it. If the permanent tooth has been knocked out in one piece, do not clean the root, put it in milk and go to the emergency room within an hour to try to reimplant it.
From what age should you start brushing a baby's teeth?
Since the first baby tooth appears. A suitable infant toothbrush and a small amount of toothpaste with the concentration of fluoride recommended by our specialists should be used to prevent baby bottle tooth decay.
