Orthodontic evaluation

Do you need orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontics helps correct tooth position and improve the way the teeth fit together when biting. An evaluation with an orthodontist helps determine whether you need braces, clear aligners, or another alternative for your case.

Crowded teeth

When there is not enough space and the teeth overlap, rotate, or erupt out of position.

Spaces between teeth

Orthodontic treatment can help close gaps and better distribute the spaces in the smile.

Overbite

Occurs when the upper teeth excessively cover the lower teeth when the mouth is closed.

Open bite

Occurs when some upper and lower teeth do not make contact when biting.

Crossbite

Occurs when one or more upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth.

Rotated teeth

Rotated teeth can affect smile harmony and make proper cleaning more difficult.

Difficulty cleaning

Crowding and poor tooth positioning can make brushing more difficult and promote plaque buildup.

Discomfort when smiling

Correcting tooth alignment can improve aesthetics and help you smile with greater confidence.

Treatment alternatives

Types of orthodontic treatment available in Lima

There are different alternatives to correct tooth position and improve the bite. The choice between braces and clear aligners will depend on the diagnosis, the complexity of the case, and each patient’s needs.

02 More discreet

Aesthetic braces

Aesthetic braces use tooth-colored materials to make the appliance less noticeable. They may be an option for patients who want fixed orthodontic treatment with a more discreet appearance.

  • More discreet appearance
  • Fixed system
  • Recommended after evaluation
03 A discreet alternative

Clear aligners

Clear aligners are removable, transparent trays designed to produce gradual tooth movement. They require discipline and must be worn for the number of hours indicated by the orthodontist.

  • Discreet appearance
  • Removed for eating and brushing
  • Digital planning
Personalized treatment

Orthodontics for teenagers and adults

Age is not the only factor that determines whether a person can undergo orthodontic treatment. The condition of the teeth, gums, bone, and bite must also be evaluated.

A
Teenagers

Monitoring dental development, oral hygiene, and compliance with follow-up visits.

B
Adults

Fixed or discreet alternatives according to the patient’s oral health and treatment goals.

Not sure which type of orthodontic treatment to choose?

The orthodontist will evaluate your bite and explain the advantages, limitations, and care requirements of each alternative.

Treatment comparison

Which is better: braces or clear aligners?

Both alternatives can correct tooth position, but they work differently. The recommended option will depend on your bite, the movements required, your habits, and your commitment to treatment.

Fixed system

Braces

Braces remain in place throughout treatment and allow the orthodontist to control tooth movement using wires, brackets, and periodic adjustments.

  • They do not depend on the patient removing or placing them.
  • They can be used in a wide range of cases.
  • They require special care with hygiene and food.
Removable system

Clear aligners

Clear aligners are transparent trays that are changed progressively to produce the planned tooth movements. They must be worn for the number of hours indicated by the orthodontist.

  • They are discreet and removable.
  • They are removed for eating and oral hygiene.
  • They require consistency and daily discipline.

More than a straighter smile

Benefits of orthodontic treatment

Orthodontic treatment is not only intended to improve the appearance of the smile. It can also make oral hygiene easier, correct the way the teeth bite together, and contribute to a better distribution of forces between the teeth.

01

Improved tooth alignment

Helps correct crowded, rotated, spaced, or improperly positioned teeth.

02

Improved bite function

Helps improve the relationship between the upper and lower teeth when closing the mouth, chewing, and speaking.

03

Easier dental hygiene

When the teeth are better aligned, brushing and cleaning between them may become easier.

04

Greater confidence when smiling

Improving tooth position can contribute to a more harmonious smile and greater confidence in daily life.

05

Better distribution of forces

A balanced bite can help distribute chewing forces more evenly among the teeth.

06

Preparation for other treatments

In some cases, orthodontic treatment helps create space or improve tooth position before implants, crowns, or aesthetic treatments.

Important

The benefits depend on the diagnosis and the patient’s cooperation

Attending follow-up visits, maintaining good oral hygiene, and following the orthodontist’s instructions are important factors for progressing properly during treatment.

Frequently asked questions about orthodontics in Lima

Find answers to the most common questions about braces, clear aligners, treatment duration, prices, follow-up visits, and retainers. The final recommendation will always depend on a personalized evaluation with the orthodontist.

01 How much does orthodontic treatment cost in Lima?

The cost depends on the type of appliance, the complexity of the bite, the diagnostic studies required, and the estimated treatment duration. After the evaluation, the orthodontist will explain the recommended alternatives and provide a personalized estimate.

02 Which is better, braces or clear aligners?

Both alternatives can be effective, but they are not indicated in the same way for every patient. The choice depends on the bite, the movements required, the patient’s habits, and the treatment goals.

03 How long does orthodontic treatment take?

The duration varies depending on the complexity of the case, the type of appliance, the biological response, and attendance at follow-up visits. The estimated treatment time is determined after the diagnosis.

04 Does getting braces hurt?

Braces placement should not normally cause pain. During the first few days or after some adjustments, temporary pressure or sensitivity may occur while the teeth adapt.

05 How often are orthodontic check-ups scheduled?

The frequency depends on the system used and the stage of treatment. The orthodontist will indicate the appropriate interval to evaluate tooth movement and make the necessary adjustments.

06 Can adults undergo orthodontic treatment?

Yes. Adults may use braces or clear aligners as long as the health of the teeth, gums, and supporting structures allows the planned movements to be performed.

07 What studies are needed before getting braces?

Depending on the case, photographs, X-rays, intraoral scanning, or other records may be requested to evaluate tooth position, roots, jaws, and bite relationship.

08 Can I continue at V&C a treatment started at another clinic?

First, the current condition, the appliance in place, and the available documentation must be evaluated. After the review, it can be determined whether treatment can be continued and under what conditions.

09 What are retainers and why are they necessary?

Retainers are used after the active phase to help keep the teeth in their new position. The type of retainer and the length of use are determined according to each case.
