\n What is orthodontics and when should this treatment be applied? <\/h2>\n <\/header>\n
\n

Orthodontics is a specialist field in dentistry<\/strong> that studies, prevents and corrects abnormalities in the shape, position, relation and function of dental and maxillofacial structures.<\/p>\n

It’s used for patients who don’t have healthy teeth and gums due to these kinds of abnormalities. This kind of treatment not only improves facial appearance, it also provides better dental hygiene, less wear and tear on the teeth, improved speech and good dental function.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\n How is an orthodontics procedure performed? <\/h2>\n <\/header>\n
\n

The orthodontics process starts with a thorough examination of the patient<\/strong> together with an x-ray<\/strong> to identify the problems that need to be corrected. The dentist will then advise on the most suitable treatment<\/strong> and discuss the process with the patient.<\/p>\n

One of the most frequent questions patients ask tends to be how long these treatments last<\/strong>, but this depends on the initial diagnosis and the orthodontic process, but the average is 18 months.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n What kinds of treatments does IGB Dental offer? <\/h2>\n <\/header>\n
\n

The orthodontic treatments offered by IGB are classic, invisible and cosmetic. The difference between classic and <\/strong>cosmetic <\/strong>orthodontics is the material used but the procedure and function are the same<\/strong>. On the other hand, invisible orthodontics is performed using the same process but with aligners that cover the teeth.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n INVISIBLE ORTHODONTICS <\/h2>\n <\/header>\n
\n

\nInvisible orthodontics is the most popular because of its cosmetic advantages. This type of treatment is frequent in adults and consists of making a set of customised clear aligners that correct the position of the teeth so they align correctly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The advantage of these aligners compared to conventional brackets <\/strong>is that they can easily be taken out and put back in, helping to ensure better oral hygiene, reduce tooth decay and prevent gum disease.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\n COSMETIC ORTHODONTICS <\/h2>\n <\/header>\n
\n

\nCosmetic orthodontics is another alternative for people who want to improve the positioning of their teeth discreetly. The mechanism is similar to classic orthodontics, but replacing stainless steel brackets with cosmetic brackets<\/strong> in materials such as sapphire, ceramic or polysulfone. The bracket adheres to the teeth, pulling it into its correct position.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\n CLASSIC ORTHODONTICS <\/h2>\n <\/header>\n
\n

\nThis type of orthodontics is more focused on children’s dentistry. It consists of stainless steel brackets joined to an arch by rubber bands<\/strong> that children tend to like having in all kinds of colour combinations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
