Orthodontic expanders

For who?

Expanders are used in young patients when the bones have not reached their maximum growth and there is the need to make space in Maxillary or the mandible. With proper expansion of the bones the teeth can be properly aligned. 

Clear Aligners

What to know

Clear Aligners are used to straighten teeth. Most patients are candidates but if there are major corrections to be made; a combination of traditional orthodontic systems and aligners could be employed.  Clear aligners have to be used from 20 to 22 hours daily.  They are sets of upper and lower aligners that have to be used in a sequence.

Canine Retraction

What is this?

In some occasions Canines do not descent to the dental arch. In this cases it has to be guided to its correct place in the maxilla. To achieve this, an orthodontic button has to be bonded to the surface of the canine that was previously submerged in the roof of the mouth and had to be uncovered by surgery.

Retainers

What are they used for?

When we have achieved the goal of straitening teeth by the use of Orthodontics appliances we need to gain stability with the use of retainers. This devices can be made out of plastic or metal/acrylic.
