The best orthodontic treatment is the one that suits your budget. If you’re looking for a treatment for your kids Metal Braces may be the best option, but if the treatment is for yourself, you may prefer a more aesthetic option as Cosmetic Braces or Invisible Aligners.
Metal Braces are the cheapest and more effective method to improve your smile. They are the most used and tested around the world, so you’re guaranteed great results.

About dental orthodontics
The best age to start an orthodontic treatment is when the teeth’s roots have grown completely. The age varies if the child is a boy or a girl, but it’s between 13 and 15 years old.
There’s no best age. We usually associate orthodontics with teens but that doesn ́t mean it’s exclusive for the young. If you are an adult who wants to improve your smile without compromising your image you can opt for cosmetic braces or invisible aligners.
Any type of orthodontic treatment helps the orthodontist reach their goals unless you have a very specific bone or dental problem. The difference between treatments is the ease the orthodontist will reach their goals, for example, self-ligating braces helps reach orthodontic goals easier and within less time.
It’s not possible to set a specific time as it varies from patient to patient, but the average is 18 months. It is important to mention that extremes like very short or long treatments (for example, 12 months or 36 to 48 months) are signs of deficient orthodontic treatment.
If your orthodontic treatment was completed successfully as well as the Retention phase, there should be no reason to get a second or third treatment. If necessary, it is possible to receive a new treatment taking care at all times of the movement of the teeth, since poorly managed treatments may cause problems in the dental roots.
Yes, everyone may receive Orthodontic treatment unless they have severe periodontic problems, teeth movement, or small teeth roots.
You may eat whatever you want, but you must be careful in the way you eat. For example, eating shelled corn instead of eating it on the cob. The prohibition of consuming certain foods is related to the possibility that a bracket may detach, specially when consuming hard foods.
Your treatment is not completed when the braces are removed. The last phase of treatment, and one of the most important, is the Retention phase. This phase allows the bone that wraps the teeth’s roots to regenerate. You must follow your dentist’s advice to complete the treatment successfully and avoid the teeth from moving in the future.
