What is orthodontics?<\/h2>\n
\n

Orthodontics is the area of dentistry that diagnoses, prevents and treats problems involving tooth position and the way the teeth meet. Treatment goals are defined for each patient and may address function, hygiene, stability and aesthetics.<\/p>\n

Aesthetic or Sapphire Braces<\/div>\n
\n

Aesthetic or sapphire braces offer a more discreet appearance than metal braces. Their suitability depends on your bite, the movements required, the care involved and the characteristics of the materials available at the clinic.<\/p>\n

Clear Aligners (Invisalign)<\/div>\n
\n

Clear aligners (Invisalign) are removable trays planned in a sequence. They require consistent wear, check-ups and patient cooperation. Not every case or treatment stage is managed in the same way, so aligners should be prescribed after a clinical assessment.<\/p>\n

Frequently asked questions about orthodontics<\/h2>
\n
\n1) Am I a candidate for orthodontics?<\/summary>\n
\n

Most adolescents and adults can be candidates. The indication depends on your bite, crowding, spacing, gum health, and habits (such as bruxism). During the consultation, we define objectives (function + aesthetics) and the most suitable treatment type. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n

\n2) What problems does orthodontics correct?<\/summary>\n
\n

Orthodontics corrects malocclusions and alignment problems that can affect aesthetics, chewing, and tooth wear. Among the most common are: <\/p>\n

    \n
  • Crowding and crooked teeth<\/li>\n
  • Gaps between teeth<\/li>\n
  • Crossbite, open bite, or deep bite<\/li>\n
  • Midline deviations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
    \n3) What are the options: metal braces, sapphire, or aligners?<\/summary>\n
    \n

    The choice depends on your case and lifestyle. In general: <\/p>\n

      \n
    • Metal:<\/strong> robust control and good cost-benefit ratio.<\/li>\n
    • Sapphire:<\/strong> more aesthetic and discreet.<\/li>\n
    • Aligners:<\/strong> removable and transparent, ideal for those seeking discretion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      During your consultation, we will explain the pros\/cons based on your bite and complexity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n

      \n4) How long does orthodontic treatment last?<\/summary>\n
      \n

      It depends on complexity, cooperation, and objectives. Some cases are shorter, while others require more time due to complex movements. During the consultation, we will provide an estimated timeline by stages and discuss variables that may modify it (attendance at check-ups, use of elastics, appliance care). <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n

      \n5) Does orthodontics hurt?<\/summary>\n
      \n

      It is normal to feel pressure or sensitivity after adjustments or when changing aligners. This is usually temporary. We will explain how to manage it and what is expected versus what requires review. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n

      \n6) How often are follow-up appointments?<\/summary>\n
      \n

      Follow-up appointments are scheduled according to the type of treatment and progress. At each appointment, we evaluate movements, hygiene, bite, and necessary adjustments. Consistency in your check-ups improves the predictability of the outcome. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n

      \n7) What care should I take with braces?<\/summary>\n
      \n

      With braces, it is crucial to maintain hygiene and avoid foods that may dislodge attachments. Usual recommendations include: <\/p>\n

        \n
      • Detailed hygiene after eating (brushing + interdental cleaning)<\/li>\n
      • Avoid very hard or sticky foods<\/li>\n
      • Use orthodontic wax if there is chafing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
        \n8) Can I have orthodontics if I have sensitive gums or periodontal disease?<\/summary>\n
        \n

        First, we must stabilize your gums. Orthodontics may require prior periodontal control and maintenance during treatment. The safety and health of your tissues are a priority to avoid complications. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n

        \n9) What if I have bruxism?<\/summary>\n
        \n

        Bruxism can influence planning and retention. During the consultation, we evaluate wear, bite force, and habits. Depending on the case, measures such as a night guard, occlusal adjustments, and a stricter retention plan are recommended. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n

        \n10) What is retention and why is it important?<\/summary>\n
        \n

        Retention is the stage after alignment to keep the teeth in their new position. It may include removable or fixed retainers. Without retention, there is a risk of teeth moving again. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n

        \n11) What payment and financing options do you offer?<\/summary>\n
        \n

        We can organize payment in stages (consultation, initiation, and check-ups) and, depending on current conditions, offer card options such as promotions or financing. During your consultation, we will confirm available options and the most convenient plan. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/section>\n

        \n

        Frequently asked questions about Invisalign<\/h3>\n
        \n1) What is Invisalign and how does it work?<\/summary>\n
        \n

        Invisalign is a system of clear, removable aligners. Treatment is planned in stages: you wear a series of aligners that apply controlled forces to gradually move the teeth until the planned result is achieved. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n

        \n2) Is Invisalign for all cases?<\/summary>\n
        \n

        Not always. Many mild to moderate cases can be treated with aligners, and some complex cases as well, but the indication depends on the diagnosis, bite, gum health, and your goals. During the consultation, we will confirm if Invisalign is the best option or if another alternative is more suitable. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n

        \n3) How long does Invisalign treatment last?<\/summary>\n
        \n

        It depends on the complexity and the plan. Consistent use of aligners and attendance at check-ups also play a role. During your consultation, we will give you a realistic estimate and discuss factors that can accelerate or delay it. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n

        \n4) How many hours a day should I wear the aligners?<\/summary>\n
        \n

        To achieve the planned movement, aligners should be worn most of the day and removed only for eating, drinking non-permitted beverages, and performing hygiene. Your plan will include recommendations for use to maintain predictability. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n

        \n5) Does Invisalign hurt?<\/summary>\n
        \n

        It is normal to feel pressure or sensitivity when starting a new aligner. This is generally temporary and part of the tooth movement process. We will explain how to manage discomfort and what signs warrant a review. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n

        \n6) Can I eat anything with Invisalign?<\/summary>\n
        \n

        Yes, because the aligners are removed for eating. This helps avoid typical braces restrictions. The important thing is to maintain good hygiene before repositioning them to protect your teeth and gums. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n

        \n7) What is retention after Invisalign?<\/summary>\n
        \n

        Upon completion, retainers are prescribed to preserve the result. Without retention, teeth tend to shift over time. During the consultation, we will define the type of retention (removable and\/or fixed) and the follow-up plan. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
