Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a medical specialty which consists of moving teeth and modifying the position of the jaws using orthodontic appliances. The treatments are aimed at children, to teenagers as well as to adults (invisalign lingual orthodontics Invisalign).
Orthodontic treatment
Orthodontic treatment will help improve facial balance as well as the functions of chewing, swallowing, breathing and speaking. Aligning your teeth will allow you to obtain a magnificent smile and will also facilitate better dental hygiene, avoiding cavities and bleeding gums.
There are two types of orthodontic treatment: braces and aligners.

Braces are small attachments glued to the external (conventional orthodontics) or internal (lingual orthodontics) side of the teeth. These brackets are called “orthodontic braces”. The braces can be metal or ceramic and transparent. The movement of the teeth takes place along an arc whose shape makes it possible to guide the movement. This arc is changed regularly depending on the movements that we wish to obtain
