Braces vs Aligners
It is important to understand the difference between braces and aligners. Braces are metal attachments bonded to your teeth that, with the help of wires and other components, allow us to move your teeth.
Aligners, on the other hand, are plastic trays designed for the same purpose, but they are removable. The main difference is that one option is fixed, while the other is removable and, of course, differs in appearance.
Steps of traditional orthodontic treatment
Step 1
Full dental examination
We will take X-rays of your teeth and bones to carefully assess your situation. In addition, we will take 3D images of your teeth to complete the examination.

Patients are usually seen once a month. During these appointments, the necessary adjustments will be made to ensure the treatment progresses properly.

Frequently asked questions
We answer the most common questions about traditional orthodontics, so you know exactly how it works and what benefits it offers before starting your treatment. If you still have questions, our team will be happy to assist you personally.
How much can braces cost?
The cost of braces can vary depending on the type of orthodontic treatment, the complexity of the case, and the length of the treatment. Correcting mild crowding is not the same as treating more complex bite problems. That is why the most advisable step is to have an initial assessment in order to receive a personalized diagnosis and a treatment quote tailored to each patient’s needs.
What types of braces are there?
The most common types of braces can be grouped into three main categories: metal, aesthetic, and self-ligating. Metal braces are the most well-known and widely used, aesthetic braces are designed to be less noticeable, and self-ligating braces include a system that can improve certain aspects of treatment. The best choice will depend on the clinical case, the aesthetic goal, and the orthodontist’s recommendation.
What do braces correct?
Braces are used to correct problems with tooth alignment and bite. 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 goal is not only to improve the smile, but also to promote a more balanced bite and better oral health.
Which type of braces is most recommended?
There is no single type of braces that is best for everyone. The most recommended 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 examination, the specialist can determine which system is best suited to each case in order to achieve an effective and stable result.
How long do braces last?
The duration of treatment with braces depends on the complexity of the case and each patient’s individual response. In general, it can last several months or even more than a year. For the treatment to progress as expected, it is important to attend follow-up appointments, maintain good oral hygiene, and follow the specialist’s instructions.
