Traditional Orthodontics

The orthodontic dentist aims in his treatments to ensure a more aligned smile for the patient, besides correcting imperfections in the bite that hinder the time to eat, talk and sleep.

There are different types of orthodontic appliances and the dentist will indicate the best one to use in each case so that the patient’s needs are met.

Evaluation by an orthodontist is essential for the entire treatment process to be comfortable and the end results to be satisfactory for the patient.

The devices solve problems such as:

• Misaligned teeth
• Correction of the bones of the face
• Correction of masticatory muscles
• Teeth bonding
• Improvement of maxilla and mandible size

Orthodontic appliances can treat various oral problems if they are diagnosed early.

The types of orthodontic appliances can in many cases be chosen by the patient himself.

Usually the device with metal brackets are the most used. Porcelain brackets are being increasingly sought by patients because of their aesthetics.

Porcelain brackets are almost invisible and match the shade of the tooth.

There are also self-ligating devices, which resemble the original brackets, but do not use the traditional rubbers and their movements are much faster.
