What is teeth straightening?

Teeth straightening is an orthodontic procedure whose objective is to move the teeth to place them in a correct position within the dental arch. This treatment improves the aesthetics of the smile by creating a harmonious and natural appearance, but it also ensures proper chewing function through balanced interdental contacts, achieving a healthy occlusion that withstands daily pressures without failure.

Among the available procedures, the following stand out:

Conventional orthodontics: It consists of small square metal devices that are cemented to the front or lingual surface of the teeth and determine the direction of tooth movement with absolute control. This system also uses other elements: the archwire, a wire inserted into the central slot of the brackets whose function is to connect the teeth to position them in the desired way, transmitting forces along multiple axes. Ligatures, rubber bands in different colors, hold the archwire and secure it to the brackets. The archwire and ligatures exert gradual pressure on the teeth for their progressive repositioning. Like dental scaffolding, it offers unmatched stability for complex movements such as rotations or inclinations.

Invisible aligners: This is a cutting-edge orthodontic system with removable plastic trays, transparent and custom-made for each patient’s teeth. It integrates digital tracking to detect smooth progress that is imperceptible to the naked eye.

Is It Right For Me?

It allows correction of the following malocclusion problems:

Dental crowding: Teeth that are very close together and poorly positioned, making cleaning difficult and affecting aesthetics.
Crossbite or open bite: There is no correct upper-lower fit.
Overbite: The upper teeth protrude over the lower teeth.
Diastemas: Spaces between adjacent teeth.
Teeth inclined toward the buccal, palatal, or lingual side.
Rotated teeth.
Temporomandibular joint problems.

An oral evaluation confirms whether you are an ideal candidate for this treatment.

Process:

To begin, the dentist performs a comprehensive diagnosis with key studies: panoramic X-rays that capture the position of roots, bones, and underlying structures to detect hidden anomalies; occlusion models that create exact physical replicas of your bite, allowing movements to be simulated before deciding; scans of the oral cavity that generate hyper-precise 3D digital models without extra radiation; cephalometry, which analyzes craniofacial angles and proportions through tracings on lateral radiographs to evaluate skeletal relationships; and detailed intraoral and extraoral photographs, taken with special lighting and standardized angles to document the initial state, compare progress, and plan the final aesthetics. This comprehensive combination generates a unique treatment plan, considering factors such as bone age, habits, and patient expectations. Without this step, any correction would be imprecise.

Metal braces:
It begins with meticulous dental preparation: the dentist cleans each surface with polishing paste and a prophylaxis brush, carefully removing food debris, plaque, and biofilm to create an impeccable base. Then, the enamel is selectively demineralized with controlled acid gel for 30 seconds, creating micropores for optimal molecular adhesion without weakening the tooth. A flowable adhesive (composite resin) is applied, brackets are positioned using guides for exact height and angle—crucial, as a one-millimeter error alters the entire movement—and they are cemented with curing light, hardening in seconds for permanent fixation.

Finally, the archwire is inserted into the slots, the ends are bent for safety, and it is secured with elastic ligatures that apply initial torque. Brackets are not random: their buccal or lingual placement and vertical height dictate whether the tooth rotates, extrudes, or intrudes. Monthly visits are necessary to change archwires to more rigid ones and replace ligatures, monitoring progress with photos and scans.

Clear aligners:
It begins with a detailed evaluation of the patient’s occlusion, followed by an intraoral scan to create a perfect virtual model. Software simulates between 20 and 50 successive trays as needed, each programmed for 0.25 mm of movement. They are manufactured using 3D printing and medical-grade plastic thermoforming and delivered in sets. Each tray is worn for approximately 2 weeks, for 20–22 hours per day (only removed for meals and hygiene). The total duration of treatment depends on the complexity of the malocclusion and may range from 1 to 1.5 years, with check-ups every 6–8 weeks. It is important to note that wearing them fewer hours delays results.

Our results

Our patients have achieved excellent results with personalized orthodontic treatments, proven in hundreds of cases each year. For example, patients with mild dental crowding—slightly crooked front teeth—have effectively completed their treatment in just over six months, leaving with aligned smiles that facilitate hygiene. Moderate cases, such as noticeable diastemas or rotated teeth that caused visible spaces, were corrected in twelve to eighteen months, with patients reporting uniform chewing and the end of discomfort when speaking.

More complex cases, such as crossbites that caused lateral wear or open bites with excessive gingival exposure, required twelve to twenty-four months, but ended with balanced occlusion and no relapse thanks to subsequent use of retainers. Patients with bruxism and temporomandibular joint problems have seen total relief: clicking disappeared and headaches ceased.
