The scientific foundation of orthodontics<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n

Orthodontics is the specialized branch dedicated to the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and skeletal malocclusions. Our primary goal is to restore the functional and aesthetic harmony of the stomatognathic system, achieving proper occlusion, efficient chewing, appropriate speech, and optimal oral hygiene.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

How do we achieve tooth movement?<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n

We act on the teeth and supporting tissues by applying controlled mechanical forces to induce physiological tooth movement. These forces trigger bone remodeling in the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone, allowing progressive movement toward the ideal position.<\/p>\n

Prior to treatment, we conduct a comprehensive orthodontic study including diagnostic models, photographic analysis, panoramic radiographs, and cephalometric tracings to determine the type of malocclusion (dental, skeletal, or mixed).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

Highly Predictable Treatments<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n

Orthodontics is a comprehensive discipline combining biomechanics, biology, and aesthetics to offer personalized treatments. Choosing the right technique always depends on the diagnosis, patient age, case complexity, and personal expectations.<\/p>\n

Thanks to current advances in digital orthodontics, intraoral scanners, and virtual treatment planning, our treatments are now more precise, predictable, and comfortable than ever. At Cl\u00ednica Ortigosa, we transform your smile with the highest clinical safety and scientific rigor.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontics<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
At what age can treatment begin?<\/h5>

There is no maximum age, but an early evaluation (interceptive orthodontics) is recommended for children to help guide jaw growth.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n

What is the difference between braces and clear aligners?<\/h5>

Clear aligners offer greater aesthetics, comfort, and ease of hygiene, while braces remain highly effective for complex cases.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n

Does tooth movement hurt?<\/h5>

It is normal to feel mild pressure for the first few days following an adjustment, but it is not considered acute pain. This discomfort is generally milder with clear aligners than with traditional braces.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n

How often will I need checkups?<\/h5>

It depends on the technique used, but checkups are generally scheduled every 4 to 8 weeks to monitor and ensure progress.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n

Is digital orthodontics better?<\/h5>

Yes, it enables more precise virtual planning, minimizing errors and making tooth movements much more predictable.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":2709,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2663","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicaortigosa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicaortigosa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicaortigosa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicaortigosa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicaortigosa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2663"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/clinicaortigosa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2663\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2669,"href":"https:\/\/clinicaortigosa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2663\/revisions\/2669"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/clinicaortigosa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2709"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/clinicaortigosa.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
