What are the main objectives of orthodontic treatment in Barcelona?
- Objective 1: Enhance your attractiveness and confidence. We perform aesthetic corrections to achieve a straight and harmonious smile.
- Objective 2: Restore proper dental occlusion.
When should you consult an orthodontist?
Malocclusion is diagnosed when the upper and lower jaws don't align properly, dental arches don't occlude correctly, and consequently, food isn't properly masticated. Occlusal correction is essential even with straight teeth. Over time, untreated malocclusion can lead to temporomandibular joint pain, gingival recession, excessive enamel wear, and other complications.
CAUSES OF ORTHODONTIC PROBLEMS:
- Heredity Jaw growth patterns are determined prenatally. For example, large teeth (inherited from father) combined with a small jaw (inherited from mother) can result in crowding due to insufficient space. This leads to dental misalignment.
- Insufficient masticatory load When children primarily consume soft foods, their jaws develop inadequately. When permanent teeth erupt, there isn't sufficient space in the dental arch to accommodate them.
- Premature tooth loss If a primary tooth is extracted prematurely or a missing permanent tooth isn't replaced with an implant, adjacent teeth begin to drift, occupying the space. This results in dental arch irregularity.
- Individual characteristics and habits Incorrect tongue positioning, mouth breathing, atypical swallowing patterns, and digit sucking can contribute to improper jaw development. Dental alignment and occlusal correction can be achieved at any age.
How does orthodontic treatment proceed at Corona Dental Clinic in Barcelona?
During your initial consultation, you'll learn about the treatment process, estimated duration, and costs. If you proceed, the orthodontist will develop a detailed treatment plan and prescribe necessary diagnostics.
Diagnostic procedures include:
- Panoramic radiograph (OPG)
- Dental impressions for study model fabrication
Facial and dental photographs are taken to track visual progress. In some cases, additional diagnostic procedures may be required. The orthodontist analyzes diagnostic data, develops a detailed treatment plan, and reviews it with the patient. An appointment is then scheduled for orthodontic appliance placement.
