Orthodontics aims to place the teeth straight on their bony bases and to achieve a good relationship between the two dental arches.
The ideal time for the first orthodontic check-up is usually at 6 years of age, at the time of eruption of the first molars.
In cases where there is not adequate closure of both jaws, early treatment allows correction of the most severe occlusal anomalies by taking advantage of the child’s growth.
In cases where there is adequate closure of both jaws, we will wait until 10-12 years of age for placement.
Request an appointment in Palma or Manacor for your child so we can analyze the case.
Treatment is also possible in adulthood as long as we have a correct oral health.
Invisalign: is a computerized orthodontic system. Unlike conventional orthodontics, as it is controlled by a computer, it is very precise.
This type of orthodontics straightens teeth by means of small molds called aligners, custom-made, removable and invisible for each patient, which are changed every 2 weeks.

Age 6 is the ideal age for a first orthodontic visit. This is the moment when the first definitive molars erupt and where we can, by means of an X-ray, detect possible anomalies in the position and formation of the teeth.
Advantages of an early 1st visit:
– Simplifies the most complex orthodontic treatments.
– In many cases, it eliminates the need for surgery in adulthood.
– It helps the patient achieve a beautiful smile and a harmonious face.
