Orthodontics is a specific discipline within dentistry.
It studies, prevents, and corrects both developmental alterations and the shape of the dental arches, the position of the jaws and teeth, with the aim of restoring balance in both the form and function of the mouth and face, while also improving facial aesthetics.
Orthodontics addresses much more complex issues than simply aligning teeth; it also corrects alterations in the upper jaw and mandible, facial alterations and, above all, functional chewing disorders.

At our dental clinic, we provide orthodontic treatment in Carabanchel, which corrects bite problems such as overbite, crossbite, underbite, open bite, midline deviation… as well as other issues such as the presence of diastemas or crowding.
We must bear in mind that many of these problems end up leading to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, chewing or speech difficulties, as well as problems related to the gums or premature tooth wear or loss.
Nowadays, there are various methods for orthodontic treatment in Carabanchel.
We are increasingly seeing more people opting for invisible orthodontics or aligners, although not all cases are suitable candidates for this type of treatment.
As for braces, they can be metal, ceramic, sapphire, self-ligating, or other options such as lingual orthodontics.
In general, children begin with interceptive orthodontic treatment to avoid and prevent more serious problems. This orthodontic treatment is carried out while there are still temporary or baby teeth in the mouth and corrects poor habits such as atypical swallowing or thumb sucking.
This does not mean that the child will not need other types of orthodontic treatment in the future to correct later problems.
It is advisable to request your no-obligation appointment at our Dental Clinic in Carabanchel as soon as you detect the problem, so that our team can assess your case.
Although orthodontics is generally associated with children and adolescents, it is not an exclusive treatment for them. It is increasingly common for many adults to be treated successfully at our Dental Clinic in Carabanchel.
In adults, orthodontics works on permanent teeth and in many cases is aimed at achieving good aesthetics.
It depends on each orthodontic case in Carabanchel, which must be assessed individually. However, the average duration is 18 months (a year and a half).
