What is orthodontics?

Orthodontics is the discipline of dentistry responsible for correcting tooth position and the bite, through different dental alignment systems.

Well-aligned teeth not only improve the smile but also make daily hygiene easier, reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease, and improve chewing function.

Do patients who need Orthodontics present prior symptoms?

Orthodontics is indicated if you have any of these situations:

  • Crooked or crowded teeth
  • Spaces between teeth
  • Bite problems (open, cross or deep bite)
  • Difficulty chewing correctly
  • Irregular tooth wear
  • Difficulty maintaining good oral hygiene

Beyond improving aesthetics, Orthodontics helps prevent long-term functional and dental problems.

Types of Orthodontics

At AMLA we work with several orthodontic treatments:

1. Orthodontics with metal braces

Orthodontics with metal braces is the most traditional and effective system for correcting all types of dental malpositions. It consists of placing metal brackets bonded to the teeth, joined by a wire that guides their progressive movement.

When is it indicated?

  • Severe crowding cases
  • Complex bite problems
  • Young patients or adolescents
  • Treatments requiring very precise control of dental movement
2. Invisalign® invisible orthodontics

Invisalign is an invisible orthodontic system based on transparent, removable aligners, custom-designed for each patient. It allows teeth to be aligned progressively, without the need for brackets or wires.

Who is Invisalign for?

  • Adults looking for a discreet option
  • Patients who prioritise aesthetics during treatment
  • People with an active social or professional life
  • Mild and moderate cases (and many well-planned complex cases)
