Correcting malocclusion in Barcelona is a crucial procedure, not only for the aesthetic benefits but also due to the adverse impact that misaligned teeth can have on overall health. An incorrect bite does not only spoil a smile, making it less attractive, but it can also lead to a range of dental issues, from rapid tooth wear to injuries in the maxillofacial structure. The average price for braces in Spain is approximately €950, with a maximum cost reaching around €1500.
Misalignment of teeth can be caused by various factors, including hereditary conditions, prenatal development issues, artificial infant feeding, certain habits, the loss of teeth, and other contributing factors.
In the past, orthodontic corrections were made with metal braces, which were bulky and unsightly, leading many children, tired of teasing from their peers, to opt out of wearing them altogether.
Today’s modern dentistry allows for malocclusion correction using invisible braces systems, which are non-removable devices attached to the teeth on the inner side of the mouth. At the Corona Dental clinic in Barcelona, advances in aesthetic dentistry now allow for the fabrication of braces from a variety of materials, elevating them to accessory-like status. Nowadays, patients can choose braces made of ceramic, sapphire, or metal.
Each tooth is fixed to an individual bracket, which is connected to the others via a nickel-titanium arch wire that gradually shifts the teeth into their desired positions. This wire is shaped to match the ideal bite alignment, and thanks to its ability to return to its original position, it effectively helps straighten the teeth. In about a year and a half at most, the braces should correct even the most complex bite misalignments, with mild cases being resolved much more quickly.
Braces are usually placed during adolescence, once the baby teeth have been replaced by permanent teeth and the roots have not yet fully hardened.
