Orthodontics is dedicated to the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of problems related to the incorrect positioning of teeth and facial structures (bones and soft tissues). When teeth are not aligned, hygiene becomes more difficult, increasing the risk of gum inflammation, tooth decay, tartar and even parafunctional habits. For this reason, orthodontic treatment is recommended to improve oral health and also the aesthetics of the smile.
Correctly positioned teeth contribute to a better appearance, more efficient chewing and clearer phonetics.
The aim of orthodontics is to correct the alignment of teeth and/or bone bases. The type of appliance indicated depends on the problem to be treated and the patient's age.
It is recommended that children be assessed by an orthodontist from the age of 4 to determine whether treatment is needed or just to monitor growth.
Adults and the elderly can also benefit from orthodontic treatment. As well as aligning the teeth, orthodontics helps to create the ideal space for future rehabilitation, often compromised by tilting or migrating teeth over the years.
This treatment modality aims to prevent problems in dental development.
When a baby tooth is lost prematurely, it is essential to maintaining space to prevent neighbouring teeth from tilting or migrating into this area. If the space is not preserved, the permanent tooth may not be able to erupt correctly, as well as causing misalignment in the adjacent teeth.
To maintain this space, specific devices are used, which can be fixed or removable, depending on the needs of each case. The shape and design of the device are defined according to the clinical indication.

O interceptive orthodontic treatment aims to act early, right at the start of the problem, allowing the growth and development of the teeth and face to occur in a more balanced way after the intervention.
This type of treatment can achieve results that would otherwise be impossible once the growth phase is over. Although it doesn't always solve the problem completely, it significantly reduces its severity and facilitates a possible second phase of treatment, should it be necessary.
They can be used intraoral appliances (fixed or removable), depending on the clinical situation. In some cases, the following are also indicated extraoral orthopaedic appliances, which act directly on the growth of facial structures, correcting bone discrepancies. presentations.
O corrective orthodontic treatment is usually started when the permanent dentition is already complete. Its aim is to correct dental misalignment, lack of space, close existing spaces or recover areas needed for future prosthetic rehabilitation, among other situations.
In these cases, the most commonly used device is the fixed braces, It is made up of brackets bonded to all teeth, allowing precise control of tooth movements.
More efficient, comfortable and faster tooth movement.
Passive self-ligating brackets allow teeth to move more freely and comfortably. Unlike traditional brackets, which rely on elastic bands to hold the arches in position - creating friction, pressure and greater discomfort.
How it works:
Forget everything you know about traditional dental braces. Today there is a solution invisible, comfortable and highly hygienic.
Because nobody needs to realise that you're wearing braces.
SureSmile is a transparent orthodontic system that uses a sequence of removable aligners produced using high-precision 3D digital technology.
This type of appliance is suitable for practically all orthodontic cases - from simple corrections to more complex treatments. It is discreet, comfortable, easy to clean and allows you to maintain your daily routine without limitations.
Invisible orthodontics was developed to meet the needs of those looking for effective results without using traditional metal brackets - whether for aesthetic, professional or comfort reasons.
SureSmile can treat a wide variety of orthodontic problems, from small movements to more complex cases. Regardless of the situation, the goal is always the same: to provide a more aligned, harmonious and confident smile.
These are some of the types of correction that can be resolved with SureSmile:
Crowded teeth
It occurs when there is not enough space in the jaw to accommodate all the teeth properly.
Spaced teeth
It happens when there is too much space between the teeth, creating visible diastemas.
Crossbite
It occurs when the upper and lower jaws are not aligned, causing one or more upper teeth to bite into the lower teeth. It can occur in the anterior and/or posterior area.
Overbite (Supraocclusion)
It is characterised by a marked overlap between the upper and lower teeth.
Prognathism
When the lower teeth protrude beyond the upper teeth, this is usually due to excessive growth of the lower jaw, insufficient development of the upper jaw or both.
