The ideal solution for perfect dental alignment is Invisalign technology. This revolutionary orthodontic method uses transparent, custom-made aligners designed to straighten your teeth with unmatched precision and discretion.
Unlike traditional dental braces, Invisalign offers an almost invisible aesthetic, making it the preferred choice for adults. By choosing Invisalign, you opt for a modern and efficient approach to orthodontics, ensuring an aligned and radiant smile.
Invisalign orthodontic treatment uses transparent and removable dental aligners for precise dental alignment. These custom-made aligners are designed to be worn for a few weeks to a few months, depending on your personalized treatment plan. They gradually work to realign your teeth to their ideal position.
What sets Invisalign apart is the advanced use of 3D imaging technology. From the start, you can visualize the complete journey of your orthodontic treatment, from the current position of your teeth to the desired outcome.
Invisalign dental aligners operate using cutting-edge technology to move your teeth with remarkable precision. Each aligner is designed to make specific movements, carefully calculated for certain teeth at each stage of the treatment. These movements, although subtle, are extremely effective, moving teeth by a few millimeters according to a pre-established plan.
This gradual approach ensures optimal transmission of the necessary force for realignment. You change aligners approximately every two weeks, allowing your teeth to gradually move to their desired final position.

A night dental guard, often used for bruxism, is a device designed to mitigate the effects of teeth grinding and clenching, common during sleep. This guard, similar to a plastic mouth guard, plays a crucial role in keeping the teeth apart, thus reducing the damage caused by these involuntary movements.
Bruxism is often linked to stress. For some, relaxation techniques like meditation can effectively prevent this problem. In some cases, support from a therapist may be beneficial to address the underlying causes of bruxism.
Visits to the dentist should start in the year following the appearance of your child’s first tooth. These early visits are crucial to ensure that milk teeth develop properly and to prevent future dental problems. They also allow your child to get accustomed to the dental office environment, which can help reduce anxiety in future visits.
Brushing your baby’s teeth should start as soon as the first tooth appears, usually around 6 months.
Use a very soft-bristled toothbrush designed for babies and a tiny amount of fluoridated toothpaste (the size of a grain of rice).
Gently brushing the teeth and gums will help prevent plaque buildup and establish good oral hygiene habits from an early age.
Encourage your child to brush their teeth twice a day for two minutes. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a tiny amount of fluoridated toothpaste. Show them how to gently brush all surfaces of the teeth and gum.
You can create a little ritual by accompanying each brushing with a catchy tune!
It is also helpful to make teeth brushing a family activity so your child learns by imitation.
Early orthodontic treatment, or interceptive orthodontics, is often recommended for children between 6 and 10 years old. This type of treatment is particularly beneficial for correcting issues such as misalignment of the jaws, overlapping teeth, or harmful oral habits.
It’s important to have your child evaluated by an orthodontist as early as possible to determine if they could benefit from this treatment. For more information on early orthodontics and its benefits, I invite you to read our detailed article on the subject.
Signs that may indicate the need for orthodontic treatment in a child include difficulties in chewing or biting, overlapping or excessive spacing of teeth, jaws that seem to be misaligned, as well as persistent habits such as thumb sucking after the age of five.
If you notice any of these signs, it is advisable to schedule an appointment with an orthodontist for a complete evaluation.
