ToggleWhat is orthodontics?
It is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the perfect placement and alignment of teeth through a system of bone correction of dental structures.
At what age can I start treatment?
The age to begin orthodontic treatment is around 11 years old, which is when all the final teeth are generally in the mouth. However, some people begin treatment at age 5, when preventative orthodontics is necessary, primarily to correct bad habits.
What are the types of orthodontics?
There are different types of orthodontics. The first is orthopedic orthodontics, which serves to prevent future abnormalities by guiding the proper growth of the jawbones. Then there is corrective orthodontics, used when an abnormality in the position of the teeth already exists. This can be achieved with conventional metal braces, cosmetic braces, self-ligating braces, or even invisible orthodontics.
How much does orthodontic treatment cost in Barranquilla?
Each treatment is personalized, so costs may vary. Patients must attend an evaluation consultation to learn this and other details about the treatment.
When to get braces?
Orthodontics is a treatment that, in addition to achieving a beautiful smile, also pursues oral health goals. It's not just about fixing crooked teeth, but also about solving the problems that come with a bad bite. Anyone with a bad bite should undergo orthodontic treatment. A bad bite results in poor hygiene, enamel wear, cavities, and chewing problems, among other things.
WHAT TYPE OF ORTHODONTICS SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?
Orthodontics has evolved so much that we offer a range of options for you to choose from, the one that best suits your lifestyle. Traditional braces, for example, have the advantage of being more durable and more affordable.
If your priority is aesthetics and you want to align your teeth in a more subtle way, you can opt for cosmetic, self-ligating, or lingual braces. If you're an image-driven person, a television personality, or a public figure, you'll probably want to consider invisible orthodontics. This consists of removable, transparent retainers that fit snugly over your teeth, provide absolute comfort, and are equally effective.
