Orthodontics

The greatest benefit of orthodontics is not aesthetics, since the care and alignment of the teeth affects the health of the patient, but also has a preventive function on teeth and gums. Dental crowding is one of the main dental problems, causing the appearance of caries, periodontal disease, chewing disorders, headache and even reducing the patient’s self-confidence by not being happy with his/her smile. Our team of orthodontists put at your disposal all the orthodontic options available on the market.

After conducting a study of models, photographs and x-rays, a virtual treatment plan is carried out, which can be shown to the patient to have a preview of the final result. Depending on the movements to be performed, a successive series of splints or aligners are manufactured to measure for the teeth of each patient, and they are changed every 2 weeks. Depending on the case, a greater or fewer number of aligners will be required, the cost of the treatment depends on this.

The aligners need a minimum of 20-22 hours a day of use, they should only be removed to eat and clean your teeth. The advantage is that they are aesthetically almost invisible and that since they are remissible, tooth brushing is easier than with conventional braces.

No one will notice that you are wearing these almost invisible aligners, making invisible aligners a seamless fit for your lifestyle and daily relationship with others.
The invisible aligners, as we already mentioned, are removable. Unlike what happens with fixed metal appliances, you will enjoy the flexibility of eating and drinking just by removing the aligners. You can also remove the aligners to brush your teeth and floss as you normally would to avoid halitosis and maintain proper oral hygiene, avoiding or reducing the possibility of tooth decay or gum problems.

It helps to improve the temporo-mandibular joint (it is the joint that makes it possible to open and close the mouth), reducing discomfort in patients, as well as the possibility of functional problems arising, caused by misalignment of the teeth.

Fixes malocclusion (the way the upper and lower teeth fit together), closure of diastema, rotations, angulations, and displacements.

This means that, in most cases, you have to spend less time at your dentist’s office for necessary adjustments to be made during treatment.

With the incorporation of the intraoral scanner for image capture, at Crooke Marbella Dental Clinic we are expanding its field of action to orthodontics. With this, we have achieved a more comfortable, reliable and effective way of taking records from a patient’s mouth to carry out the study prior to orthodontic treatment to align their teeth. This methodology, in addition to being more comfortable for the patient, allows us to study the case on the computer, and obtain a preview of the final results, to confirm that we will meet the patient’s expectations.

With STL files, there is no image deterioration and it is always available. We have this system connected to invisible orthodontic systems and digital smile design systems.
