We understand the ability to shape your smile so that your teeth and jaw do not have any problems. To achieve this, we use orthodontics and maxillary orthopedics. These two branches of dentistry allow us to prevent, correct, and treat growth or decrease problems. of the jaws and align the teeth.
The advantages of using orthodontic treatment are not merely aesthetic, it also allows us to have a more adequate and functional bite.
Orthodontics is a dental specialty focused on aligning the bite and straightening the teeth. You may need to see an orthodontist if you have crooked, overlapping, or gapping teeth.
Common orthodontic treatments include traditional braces, clear aligners, and removable retainers.
Metal brackets for many years have been the most used. They are used with stainless steel wires to gently move teeth over time.
Metal braces are visible when you smile. You can choose clear or tooth-colored ligatures to make your braces less noticeable. Or, if you’re feeling festive, you can choose brightly colored ligatures.
Ceramic or transparent brackets work in the same way as metal brackets. The key difference is that the brackets, wires, and ligatures are tooth-colored, so they blend in with your smile.
Sometimes called “invisible braces”, clear aligners are an alternative to braces. Instead of braces and wires, clear aligners are custom made to straighten teeth.
With these systems, you wear each set of aligners for approximately two weeks. Then switch to the next game in the series. Unlike metal braces, clear aligners are removable. You should only remove your aligners to eat, drink and brush your teeth.

They all work the same, it just depends on how much you want them to notice.
Those that are commented on the upper and lower tooth 45 minutes and the aligners 15 minutes.
The first 3 days it is a bit uncomfortable, after those 3 days you get used to it.
You cannot eat hard or toasted foods such as peanuts, ice, tortilla chips, popcorn, apples, pears, they must be cut into small pieces. With the aligners you can eat anything since they are removed to eat.
It will depend on the dental malposition.
