About the specialty of Orthodontics
Orthodontics is the specialty of Dentistry that deals with issues of dental alignment and dentofacial disharmony. Misaligned teeth hinder oral hygiene, increasing the risk of cavities and periodontal disease, and can cause muscle overload, resulting in pain in the head, neck, and shoulders.
Correction is done through fixed, removable, or virtually invisible clear aligners.
With technological advances, orthodontic treatments have become more efficient and comfortable, allowing patients of all ages to achieve a healthy and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Orthodontic Solutions - Which is best for you?

Technology and Innovation applied to Orthodontics
At MALO CLINIC, technological advancements have profoundly transformed Orthodontics, making treatments faster, more precise, and comfortable.
The introduction of digital planning through intraoral scanners allows for the replacement of traditional impressions with highly detailed 3D images, improving diagnosis, outcome predictability, and patient experience. This digital planning also enables the simulation of the final smile even before the start of treatment.
The evolution of materials and orthodontic systems has brought about more discreet and effective solutions that reduce discomfort and facilitate tooth movement. These systems allow for the application of more controlled forces, decreasing pain, treatment time, and the number of necessary appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions
1
At what age can one start orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontic treatment can begin as soon as alignment or bite problems are identified, most often from the age of 7. However, there is no age that compromises the results of using a dental appliance, so adults can also benefit from orthodontic treatments.

How long does orthodontic treatment last?
The duration of orthodontic treatment varies according to the complexity of the case. On average, it can last between 12 to 18 months, but simpler cases can be resolved in less time, while more complex cases may take longer.

Do braces cause pain?
In the first few days after the placement or adjustment of the device, it is common to feel some discomfort or sensitivity. This sensation usually diminishes after a few days.
4
What are the types of orthodontic appliances available?
There are several types of braces, including fixed braces with metal brackets, clear aligners like Invisalign™, and removable braces. The choice depends on the diagnosis and the preferences of the patient.
