Orthodontics promotes your oral health

  • Corrects the open bite: this happens when when biting, the upper and lower teeth do not overlap and there is a space between them.
  • Crossbite: when the upper arch is located inside the lower arch.
  • Diastemas: separated teeth.
  • Dental Apiñamento
  • Retrognathism: This condition occurs when there is no space in the bone where the teeth are located.

When these conditions are corrected, other problems that may occur, such as bruxism or difficulty in speech, digestion or breathing, are also solved. Orthodontics is recommended for people of all ages, depending on their condition and lifestyle, treatment may be recommended.
