Orthodontics is the specialty of dentistry that deals with obtaining a good dental occlusion, on the one hand to avoid damaging the ligaments of the temporomandibular joint and on the other hand, to obtain a correct alignment of the teeth that will allow us to reduce the risk of suffering periodontal problems, cavities, wear, improve aesthetics, etc.
When it comes to treatment, there are many questions that can arise: what clinic do I go to, what type of orthodontics do I wear, what treatment do I choose if each one has told me something different? We understand that it is a complicated decision and precisely in most orthodontic treatments can reach the same final result by different paths, which makes it even more difficult to make this decision. For this reason, it is essential that you take it from the hand of the specialist, he/she is the one who will best advise you.
At Alvarado Dental Clinic we have from the most conventional treatments with metal, ceramic or sapphire brackets to the newest ones like lingual orthodontics or transparent aligners like Invisalign.
Our orthodontist, Dr. Beatriz Izquierdo, will be delighted to assist you, recommend the most appropriate treatment and explain the guidelines you must follow to achieve excellent results.
At Alvarado Dental Clinic we are specialists in the placement of Invisalign orthodontics in Valencia. This technique allows the alignment of teeth without the use of conventional brackets, so it is almost invisible.
When you start an Invisaling treatment you will receive a series of personalized aligners that you will have to change approximately every two weeks. Over time, your teeth will change position smoothly and gradually.
This dental treatment can correct most dental problems. In addition, your specialist will show you in the dental clinic a simulation of how your teeth will move and, of course, how they will look at the end of the treatment.
The main benefits of Invisaling orthodontics over traditional braces are
Metal brackets are the best known traditional orthodontic treatment. It consists of placing metal brackets that are supported by the teeth and a metal support is used as a base. Thanks to their versatility, this type of bracket is used, above all, when the case is very complex and cannot be solved with more modern treatments.
Another advantage of this orthodontic system is that they are much more resistant, more effective, and easier to clean and maintain compared to other systems. Despite new technologies and advances in the world of dentistry, metal or fixed brackets are widely used for their effectiveness and their more economical price.
Ceramic or porcelain brackets are an orthodontic treatment often used to correct teeth in a very aesthetic way. Because they are made from porcelain-like materials, brackets are virtually invisible and blend in with the color of the patient’s own teeth.
At Alvarado Dental Clinic we join the new technologies and that is why we offer this type of orthodontic treatment where the brackets are placed behind the tooth, the lingual face of the tooth. With this treatment the dental appliance is totally imperceptible to other people.
The duration of treatment is usually shorter than with conventional treatment. Even so, it must be taken into account that each patient is unique and many factors depend on the duration of the treatment.
Regarding the final result, lingual orthodontics has the same result as traditional braces, but with unique aesthetic benefits. In our dental clinic we recommend the use of this treatment for those patients who do not want to sacrifice the aesthetics of their smile.
The Damon orthodontic system is an evolution from conventional dental brackets with which treatment times have been reduced significantly. This provides us with optimal results where in less time a clear alignment of the position of the teeth is achieved. In addition, thanks to Damon’s transparent and aesthetic braces, your orthodontics will be completely unnoticed.
Damon orthodontics is more effective and comfortable than other systems because it uses very light forces. By using these forces, it allows our team of professionals to precisely control not only the ideal position of the teeth, but also the patient’s facial appearance and profile.
With this treatment we can not only correct the position of the teeth, but also correct the image of the face, so we get a complete rehabilitation.
