What are the benefits of orthodontic treatment?
- In the short term, the benefits are the alignment of the teeth and the obtaining of an ideal bite, as well as the patient’s satisfaction through the perfectly planned smile from the beginning, which will be according to the aesthetic criteria of the American Academy of Dental Cosmetics.
- The long-term benefits are the stability and functionality of the occlusion, which will protect the temporo-mandibular joint from the occurrence of possible dysfunctions (noises, pain) or to improve those present.
- Extremely important is the health of the gums and the facial harmony obtained through treatment.
In addition, we are with our patients in the period of maintaining the results (contention), offering aesthetic advice to complete the orthodontic treatment, as well as minimally invasive procedures: hyaluronic acid. In complex cases of craniofacial deformities, when the treatment lasts until the age of 18, together with the other specialties, we take care of all the stages of the treatment in detail.
