Orthodontics is an effective treatment for a myriad of oral health problems. Generally this treatment is associated with aesthetic reasons only, but this is not really the case. Although this is the main reason that pushes people to undergo orthodontic treatment, it can also solve problems of breaks, incorrect angles or dental crowding, mandibular underbite or prognathism or premature loss of baby teeth, among many others.
Can we improve facial symmetry through orthodontics?
When we talk about facial symmetry we are referring to the bone, so this would require surgery and a comprehensive diagnosis by an expert facial surgeon. Orthodontics alone could not improve the symmetry of our face.
How long does orthodontic treatment last?
Depending on the starting point of the patient, it will be longer or shorter. The duration can range from 18 to 24 months.
For which patients is orthodontics recommended?
Invisible orthodontics is for aesthetic reasons the perfect alternative to the usual metal brackets.
They are ideal for patients who want to go unnoticed, those who are considered too old for braces or look less attractive with them on.
