It is vitally important to know the types of orthodontics that exist in both children and adults. Therefore, we will first talk about children’s orthodontics for the very young.
What is pediatric orthodontics?
When we talk about children’s orthodontics, we are referring to the correction of the teeth of the youngest members of the household by means of fixed, removable or retainers.
In our Dental Clinic, our Dr. Juan Carlos García Dávalos is a specialist in children’s dentofacial orthopedics and takes care of the mouths of the little ones. Undoubtedly, you can have total confidence in him. We can assure you that you are in the best hands, whether your child is 5 years old or 17 years old.
Why should you see our orthodontist?
If your child has any of the following problems, the most important thing to do is to see an orthodontist for a diagnosis as soon as possible.
- Skeletal and bone problems.
- Children with habits such as pacifier or thumb sucking, mouth breathing and tongue thrusting when swallowing.
- Genetic problems.
What are the types of orthodontic treatments that we perform in our Dental Clinic Davalos y Balboa?
Orthodontic brackets: these are small pieces made of different types of materials and cemented to the teeth. In our Dental Clinic, we have two types: sapphire and metal. With the doctor’s recommendation we will personalize each of your cases.
And, invisible orthodontics: modern treatment that consists of a series of transparent aligners that we will be placing in the different phases of treatment with the supervision of the doctor. To do this, we will perform a preliminary study of each of the patients’ cases and the necessary aligners are configured. Thanks to the 3D treatment plan with ClinCheck® Pro Software, we will show you which movements your teeth will follow during the treatment, as well as the final result.
What is the difference between one and the other?
- If we do not consider clear brackets, invisible orthodontics is the most esthetic option. Even so, our patients feel more comfortable using invisible orthodontics.
- In terms of convenience, with invisible braces you get greater comfort because, when it is time to eat, you can take them off and put them on easily, as well as being hygienic. Remember that for it to be effective you have to wear it for an average of 22 hours!
- And, above all, the hygiene that invisible orthodontics can offer you is unbeatable.
