What is orthodontics?<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Orthodontics is the dental specialty that corrects the position of the teeth and jaw when they are not properly aligned. But it goes far beyond aesthetics: a properly aligned bite improves oral hygiene, reduces tooth wear<\/strong>, and can alleviate problems such as jaw pain or bruxism. <\/p><\/div>

At our clinic in Ibi, we treat patients of all ages\u2014children, teenagers, and adults\u2014using a comprehensive diagnostic process that includes intraoral scans and dental CT scans<\/strong> to precisely plan each movement before fitting the first aligner or bracket.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Treatment at any age<\/p><\/div><\/div>

There’s no age limit for orthodontic treatment. Whether you’re 12 or 50, we’ll find the treatment that’s right for you. <\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Digital Diagnosis with a 3D Scanner<\/p><\/div><\/div>

We’ll scan your teeth painlessly and show you what your smile will look like before we begin.<\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Results That Last<\/p><\/div><\/div>

With proper follow-up care and a retainer, the results of orthodontic treatment are permanent.<\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

All types of cases<\/p>

Who is this treatment for?<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>

There is no such thing as the “perfect” orthodontic patient. Whether you have crowded teeth, an improper bite, or simply want to improve your smile, we’ll evaluate your case and explain whether orthodontic treatment is the best solution for you. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/div>

Crowded or Gapped Teeth<\/h3><\/div>

When teeth don’t have enough space or are too far apart, orthodontics realigns them in a controlled and precise manner.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/div>

Malocclusion<\/h3><\/div>

A crossbite, open bite, or deep bite isn’t just a cosmetic issue. It can lead to tooth wear, headaches, and temporomandibular joint problems. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/div>

Adults who have never sought treatment<\/h3><\/div>

It’s never too late to start. More and more adults are choosing invisible braces to correct issues that weren’t addressed during childhood. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/div>

Children and Adolescents<\/h3><\/div>

The ideal age for an initial evaluation is between 7 and 9 years old. The sooner a problem is detected, the easier it is to solve. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Types of Orthodontic Treatment<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>

We work with the most advanced systems on the market so you can choose the option that best suits your situation, your lifestyle, and your preferences. Dr. Espuelas will provide you with a no-obligation consultation to help you determine which one is right for you. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"Invisible<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Invisible Orthodontics<\/h3><\/div>

With Spark aligners, you can straighten your teeth gradually and almost imperceptibly. They are removable, comfortable, and made of a highly transparent material. The preferred choice for adults who want a discreet solution without compromising on top-notch results. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Metal<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Metal braces<\/h3><\/div>

Metal braces remain one of the most effective and cost-effective options for correcting complex malocclusions. They are durable, precise, and suitable for virtually any type of case. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Aesthetic<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Aesthetic Braces<\/h3><\/div>

Just as effective as metal braces, but made of tooth-colored ceramic. A more discreet alternative for those who prefer traditional braces without them being too noticeable. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Lingual<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lingual Orthodontics<\/h3><\/div>

Lingual braces are placed on the inner surface of the teeth, so they are completely invisible from the outside. They are the most discreet option of all, ideal if your job or social life requires that no one know you’re wearing braces. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

At our clinic in Ibi, I use the most up-to-date techniques\u2014clear aligners, lingual braces, self-ligating braces, and conventional braces\u2014to ensure that each patient receives the treatment they truly need, not the one that\u2019s easiest to perform. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

I\u2019d been thinking about getting braces for years, but I always put it off. Finally, I made up my mind and came to see Dr. Espuelas. He explained everything to me very calmly, without pressuring me, and recommended Spark aligners. It took a little over a year, and the results have been incredible. I\u2019m very happy with the care I received and with how my smile turned out. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
