Study
Crooked teeth? No worries. The first step is to carry out a “Study”. This consists of taking a series of records and photographs of your mouth, which will give us all the information necessary for our orthodontist to plan your treatment in the best possible way and guarantee an optimum result.
Placement and treatment
Once the assessment is complete, we’ll get straight down to work! Whether you’re undergoing conventional orthodontic treatment or invisible braces, you’ll need to visit the clinic every month for the necessary check-ups and adjustments that will gradually lead us to the perfect result.
Retention
It is very important that, at the end of your treatment, we place an adequate retention. This will prevent your teeth from moving again in the future, so you can maintain your perfect smile, no matter how long it takes.
Follow-up
After the treatment is completed, we carry out regular check-ups to ensure that the teeth remain in their correct position. This monitoring allows us to detect any changes in time, adjust the retainers if necessary and ensure stable and long-lasting results.

The basics you need to know about orthodontics
Orthodontics is the dental speciality that corrects the position of your teeth and bite to improve the function and aesthetics of your smile. It is not just about braces; it is a planned treatment that can be performed on both children and adults to promote a healthier and more balanced mouth.
This is the branch of dentistry that corrects crooked or misaligned teeth and jaw relationships, improving the functionality of the mouth and the aesthetics of the smile.
There is no single age: you can start treatment in childhood, adolescence or even adulthood, depending on individual needs.
It is normal to feel some discomfort or pressure when putting the braces on or after an adjustment, but this is usually temporary and manageable with simple care.
The duration varies from case to case, but usually ranges from 12 to 24 months depending on the complexity and cooperation of the patient.
