When to get braces?
Orthodontics is a treatment that in addition to looking for a nice smile, also pursues oral health objectives, not only to fix crooked teeth, but to solve the problems associated with having a bad bite. Orthodontic treatment should be performed on anyone who has a dental malocclusion. Since a bad bite translates into poor hygiene, tooth enamel wear, cavities, chewing problems, among others.
WHAT TYPE OF ORTHODONTICS TO CHOOSE?
Orthodontics has evolved so much that we have a range of options for you to choose the one that best fits your lifestyle. Traditional brackets, for example, have the advantage of being more resistant and more economically priced.
If your priority is aesthetics and you want to align your teeth in a more “disguised” way, you can opt for aesthetic, self-ligating or lingual brackets. If you are a person who works on your image, on television or you are a public figure, you probably want to use invisible orthodontics, which consists of using removable transparent retainers that fit the teeth, provide absolute comfort and are just as effective.
