What sets us apart
Braces vs aligners
It is important to understand the difference between braces and aligners. Braces are the most versatile and effective system for cases of any complexity, giving precise control over every tooth movement without relying on the patient remembering to wear the appliance.
Braces
Braces are small metal brackets bonded to your teeth which, with the help of wires and other attachments, allow us to move your teeth.
Aligners
Aligners are plastic trays designed for the same purpose, but they are removable. The main difference is that one is fixed and the other removable and, of course, how they look

Frequently asked questions
We answer the most common questions about orthodontics with braces so you know exactly how it works and what advantages it offers before you start treatment. If you still have questions, our team will be happy to help you in person.
How much do braces cost?
The price of braces can vary depending on the type of orthodontics, the complexity of the case and the length of treatment. Correcting mild crowding does not cost the same as treating more complex bite problems. That is why the best approach is a prior assessment to get a personalised diagnosis and a quote tailored to each patient’s needs.
What types of braces are there?
The most common braces fall into three main types: metal, aesthetic and self-ligating. Metal braces are the best known and most widely used, aesthetic braces are designed to be less noticeable, and self-ligating braces include a system that can improve some aspects of treatment. The choice will depend on the clinical case, the aesthetic goal and the orthodontist’s recommendation.
What do braces correct?
Braces are used to correct tooth alignment and bite problems. They can help treat crooked teeth, crowding, gaps, crossbite, overbite, open bite and other issues that affect both the appearance and function of the mouth. The aim is not only to improve your smile but also to achieve a more balanced bite and better oral health.
Which type of braces is best?
There is no single type of braces that is best for everyone. The most suitable option depends on the position of the teeth, the bite, the patient’s age, their aesthetic preferences and the type of treatment needed. After a full check-up, the specialist can tell you which system best suits your case to achieve an effective, stable result.
How long do you wear braces for?
The length of treatment with braces depends on the complexity of the case and how each patient responds. In general, it can last several months or even more than a year. For treatment to progress as planned, it is important to attend check-ups, maintain good oral hygiene and follow your dentist’s instructions.
Our goal is for you to correct your smile comfortably and effectively, with the confidence of an expert team looking after you every step of the way.
