Orthodontics in Malaga

Any orthodontic treatment begins with a preliminary study to assess the patient's condition and determine the treatment that best suits their needs. Once this preliminary study is complete, the best orthodontic treatment options are presented to the patient, whenever possible.

The duration of orthodontic treatment will depend on the complexity of each patient's case. For simple cases, such as minor crowding, 6 months of orthodontic treatment may be sufficient, and in more complex cases, it may be extended up to 30 months.

Yes, it is never too late to correct your smile. Adults can opt for various treatments, either traditional braces or more innovative ones such as invisible orthodontics or lingual orthodontics, which go practically unnoticed. In addition, in recent years orthodontics in adults has increased considerably due to improvements in the treatments themselves and because they are often a fundamental part of a comprehensive rehabilitation and/or aesthetic treatment.

Yes, there are traditional orthodontic treatments that use the braces we all know, although there are also new invisible orthodontic treatments such as invisible orthodontics or lingual orthodontics.

The total price for orthodontic treatment will depend on the complexity of each case, the chosen treatment (braces, clear aligners, or lingual braces), and its duration. To determine the cost of orthodontic treatment, an initial assessment and a subsequent treatment plan tailored to each patient's needs will be necessary. If you wish, you can schedule an appointment so we can evaluate your case.

Fixed orthodontic treatments consist of a set of arches and wires that, placed in a certain position and at a specific angle, push the teeth so that they are placed in their correct position and aligned with all the teeth.

This treatment is complemented by the use of rubber bands or elastics to apply greater force on certain areas.

On the other hand, removable orthodontic treatments work by using caps for the teeth that generate force and pressure on the teeth themselves to generate orthodontic movement (move the teeth).

As for the latest innovations in orthodontic treatments, the use of microimplants stands out (link to the page of microimplants in orthodontics), which through small anchors improve and accelerate the process of tooth movement. These anchors are placed in a minimally invasive intervention, improving.

Yes, this type of treatment is called sectoral orthodontics, in which the objective of the orthodontic treatment is only to move one, two or several teeth in a specific area.

And you might be wondering why we are only going to move a few teeth?

A very common example is those patients who lost a tooth some time ago and the surrounding teeth have invaded that space, resulting in poor masticatory function in the area and insufficient space to place an implant in that absence.

Therefore, sectoral orthodontic treatment is part of a comprehensive and multidisciplinary treatment. Two work philosophies that define us.

Yes, it is possible to perform orthodontic treatment only on the lower arch, either with braces or with lingual or invisible orthodontics.

Yes, it is possible to perform orthodontic treatment only on the upper arch, either with braces or with lingual or invisible orthodontics.

It is not usual, but some setbacks may arise during orthodontic treatment, such as: a bracket falling off, the archwire moving, loss of an orthodontic element, cavities, etc. However, these setbacks are usually resolved before they have any consequences beyond discomfort, thanks to dental check-ups.
