Frequently Asked Questions: Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment must be performed by a certified orthodontist. This specialized professional is responsible for diagnosing and correcting anomalies in teeth positioning and bite function. The specialist plans dental movements using clinical studies and digital technology to achieve functional, aesthetic, and stable long-term results.
The first step to starting orthodontic treatment is to undergo a specialized assessment, where the specialist evaluates teeth positioning, the bite, and the patient’s functional and aesthetic needs. To begin treatment, it is essential to have good oral health, including healthy gums and no active cavities or infections. In some cases, it may be necessary to perform preliminary hygiene procedures, oral rehabilitation, or complementary treatments before starting orthodontics.
The duration of orthodontic treatment depends on the complexity of the case and the type of treatment chosen. On average, it can last between 12 and 24 months, although some patients require less time and other more advanced treatments can take longer. During your specialized assessment, a comprehensive diagnosis is made to estimate the approximate timeframe and plan dental movements in a personalized manner.
Brackets are fixed systems bonded to the teeth that allow for controlled and highly precise dental movements. In contrast, clear aligners are digitally designed, removable transparent splints that offer a more aesthetic and comfortable alternative. Both treatments aim to correct teeth positioning, but the choice depends on the clinical needs, habits, and goals of each patient.
Clear aligners can correct multiple dental alignment issues through personalized digital planning. However, not all cases are the same, and certain complex conditions may still require conventional braces or combined treatments. The appropriate choice depends on the diagnosis made by the specialist and the patient’s functional and aesthetic goals.
It is normal to feel slight pressure or sensitivity during the first few days after starting treatment or following routine adjustments. This sensation is typically temporary and is a normal part of the teeth movement process. Both conventional orthodontics and clear aligners are engineered to perform progressive, controlled movements to ensure maximum comfort throughout the treatment.
Orthodontics can be performed on children, teenagers, and adults, depending on the individual needs of each patient. In many cases, an early assessment is recommended to detect anomalies in dental development and plan treatment opportunely. Today, an increasing number of adults choose to start orthodontic treatments to improve both the aesthetics and function of their smile.
During treatment, it is vital to maintain excellent oral hygiene, attend all scheduled follow-up appointments, and follow the specialist’s recommendations. Patients with fixed brackets should avoid very hard or sticky foods that could damage the components. For those using clear aligners, it is important to wear them for the recommended daily duration and remove them only for eating and performing oral hygiene.
Yes, in many cases, it is perfectly possible to undergo orthodontic treatment if you have dental implants, crowns, or prior restorations. Each case must be evaluated individually to determine treatment viability and correctly plan dental movements. A specialized diagnosis allows us to define the best alternative according to the patient’s specific oral conditions here in Bogota, Colombia , ensuring optimal results in record time.
