Orthodontics

Conventional, invisible and lingual orthodontics for children and adults is the speciality of dentistry dedicated to the study, prevention and correction of alterations in the shape of the jaws and position of the teeth, achieving a functional and aesthetic balance in the mouth of patients.

At Hinboca Dental Clinic we work with the most modern and avant-garde systems for orthodontic treatments.

Always keep in mind...

Conventional, invisible and lingual orthodontics for children and adults is not just about aligning teeth, which is often the main concern of patients. It should not be forgotten that orthodontics also corrects disorders of the jaws, the face and, above all, anomalies in mastication.

The appropriate age to start treatment varies according to the type and severity of the pathology. At Hinboca Dental Clinic, Dr. Carmen Caballero advises that whether or not an anomaly is detected, children should be checked at around the age of six.

Normally orthodontic treatment is linked to adolescence, but even if we do not start treatment early, it is important to monitor it to ensure the best oral health for your children.

Orthodontic treatment can be interceptive or corrective.

  • Interceptive treatments are those carried out on children during the “deciduous” or “mixed” dentition (deciduous and permanent teeth at the same time). This type of treatment consists of correcting abnormal habits that can modify the normal growth of the jaws. An example of frequently occurring malocclusions are those caused by thumb sucking.
  • Corrective treatments are those that are carried out if interceptive treatment has not been carried out previously or if the severity of the malocclusion requires treatment of the “bite”.

Ideally, these treatments should begin at around 10 or 12 years of age, but they can also be carried out in adolescence or adulthood.

The duration of the treatments is usually between 12 and 36 months, although all cases are individually assessed to evaluate the treatment time.

In terms of orthodontic treatment, at Hinboca Dental Clinic we work with the most modern and cutting-edge systems.

Invisalign is the pioneering treatment in innovation, technology and research to precisely control the alignment of teeth.

Invisalign treatment is completely different from conventional orthodontics. This type of treatment is used for both adolescents and adults without age limits.

Thanks to the most revolutionary technology, it consists of a series of transparent and removable aligners that align teeth progressively and without the need for wires or brackets. They do not incorporate any metal and are therefore virtually unnoticeable.

Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating, for a proper cleaning of your teeth or for special occasions such as weddings and other events.

Another advantage of Invisalign is that our orthodontist will offer you a specific treatment plan in which you will be able to see the movements of your teeth in a three-dimensional way thanks to a programme that will virtually show you the changes that are taking place in your teeth. Our orthodontist Dr. Carmen Caballero is an accredited Invisalign Provider and is one of the most recognised in this field of orthodontics.

Within conventional orthodontics with brackets, Hinboca Clínica Dental is committed to the highest quality. We use the best known orthodontic system which is the Damon System. Damon orthodontics is a low friction, self-ligating orthodontic system that does not use ligatures or rubber bands. These characteristics make the treatment much faster, and the rounded brackets are more comfortable and easier to clean than other systems.

The Damon system allows for a considerable reduction in treatment time due to the low friction of no ligatures. Another advantage of not wearing ligatures is that the patient does not get sores and retains much less tartar, since brushing the teeth is very easy. In this system it is the brackets themselves that hold the archwires in place and there is no need to change the “rubber bands”. This allows us to greatly shorten the time of check-ups with the orthodontist.

The Damon System has been proven to be the most effective and fastest type of orthodontics known.

This bracket system achieves the best aesthetic result of all existing bracket systems. They are transparent and their arc is white. Unlike other aesthetic brackets, our brackets do not vary in colour and therefore you will not notice that you are wearing them.
