Braces in Torrevieja
Braces correct tooth position and bite using fixed brackets and a metal wire that's adjusted at periodic check-ups, and remain the reference technique for the most complex bite issues.
What it is and who it's for
Brackets are small supports bonded to the tooth surface and connected by a wire. Adjusting the wire at each check-up applies controlled force that moves the teeth into the planned position.
It's recommended for moderate to severe bite issues, crossbites or open bites, and for treatments started in childhood to guide jaw growth. It's also used in adults when the case isn't suited to clear aligners.
How we do it at this clinic
Treatment starts with a full orthodontic study: X-rays, photographs and a bite analysis that determines the most suitable appliance — metal, cosmetic or combined with other devices depending on age and case.
Check-ups are scheduled monthly to adjust the wire and assess progress. For children's treatments, the family is given an approximate calendar and advance notice of each phase (for example, a removable appliance before moving to the fixed phase). Saturday opening hours make it easier to fit in these check-ups without missing school or work during the week.
