​
There are different types of braces depending on the material, size, color and shape. Some are more discreet, others more resistant, and others more customizable. Orthodontics benefits chewing function, pronunciation, breathing and smiling.
Aligners - Invisible Orthodontics
This innovative treatment develops a series of transparent and removable aligners, corresponding to the stages of the movements that the teeth must perform.

​
They are safe and comfortable for the patient, as they do not have sharp edges or points that cause the typical discomfort of wounds on the tongue, sores inside the mouth and lips, gum problems, etc.
​
Another point in favor is their usefulness for people who suffer from some allergy or rejection to metals such as nickel.

Ceramic Self-Ligating
An unparalleled fusion of two highly attractive technologies in orthodontics.
​
The use of ceramic material and the self-ligating technique represent complete success from an aesthetic point of view, reflecting on other aspects of comfort, resistance and durability. This group of qualities are effective when incorporating into the clip system that have the function of holding the arches of the bracket, instead of the traditional ligatures that may wear out.
​
Its translucent effect, plus the innovative and smooth surfaces resistant to stains, provide security and also personalized control, achieving results based on the preferences and unique needs of each patient.
​
Installation: $3,000,000 COP
Controls: $200,000 COP
Metal Self-Ligating
This technique provides guided displacements in the teeth using a mechanism incorporated by a front cap that holds the wire arch within the same bracket to allow free movements and thus, reduce friction (less resistance).
​
Given that they do not use elastic ligatures that can deteriorate with plaque, saliva, intraoral temperature changes; they are considered much more hygienic and efficient in closing spaces.
​
The reduction of time in the consultation is remarkable and controls could be done every 6 weeks.

Mini Braces
Smaller than conventional ones and equally efficient in terms of treatment results, these braces are the aesthetic solution that many seek for their low visibility, comfort in the treatment (patient-dentist) and easier oral hygiene.
​
They are a safe way to move the tooth with a sophisticated appearance, due to the lower height, without losing security.
