Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the malposition of teeth problems.

Why should we do Orthodontics?

As a matter of fact, there are very few people who have properly aligned teeth. Orthodontics is the most conservative and effective treatment to correct the poor positioning of the teeth.

Thanks to orthodontics:

• You will achieve an ideal teeth layout enabling you to chew better.
• It will be easier to clean your teeth, reducing the risk of tooth decay and diseases affecting the gums and bone supporting the teeth.
• You'll have a nicer smile, improving your self esteem.

When should it be done?

It is recommended to start checking the children’s teeth from the age of 4 in order to detect any alteration in the position of the teeth or in the way of closing them.

In the vast majority of cases orthodontics must start between the age of 12 and 13, since it is at this time that permanent teeth have come out and that we can still take advantage of the patient’s natural growth to achieve a faster treatment, more convenient and stable over time.

However there is no age limit to solve the problem of poor teeth positioning. The number of adults who choose orthodontic treatment to enjoy the benefits of well-set teeth is increasing more and more.
