Orthodontics for adolescents in Panama

When starting orthodontic treatment in adolescents, it begins with ...

Mixed dentition and the beginning of the development of the jaws; making propitious the moment to correct problems of 

malocclusion (when the upper and lower teeth do not fit perfectly together) in a period in which it is still possible to control bone growth.

Among the frequent problems that occur in young people, it is common to find dental cases (teeth that are widely separated, crowded or outside the dental arch that affect the alignment and aesthetics of the smile) and skeletal cases (irregular growth of the jaw that produces bite problems or occlusion). To correct these conditions, it is necessary to place some type of orthodontics that meets the needs of each patient; being especially useful the experience of the orthodontist at the moment of guiding the most suitable choice.

One aspect that will always prevail from the specialist's approach is the effectiveness of the type of orthodontics in the face of the problem that needs to be corrected; However, it is possible that from the patient's point of view the aesthetic element is placed on the table above any other.

The most recommended….

is to talk with your orthodontist and together select the orthodontic system that best suits your condition; knowing that in young people between 10 and 18 years old, you can use:

Traditional metal braces

Orthodontics with metal brackets (traditional)

It is the traditional system par excellence and continues to be highly effective. It is resistant, cheaper than others and although many young people consider it not aesthetic, it will always be an alternative to consider.

Sapphire Brackets

Orthodontics with Sapphire brackets

A good alternative for young people who want a 100% effective treatment without forgetting the aesthetic element. The bracket made of sapphire crystal is practically transparent, does not stain and is camouflaged with the own color of the teeth; And even though the arch is perhaps something that is not so imperceptible, for many it is considered a minor problem.

Ceramic Brackets

Orthodontics with ceramic brackets

In this system, the brackets are made with ceramic porcelain of a similar color to the natural tooth; however, it presents the same case as sapphire brackets in terms of the metal arch and the brackets tend to be much more fragile than other options.
Lingual Orthodontics

Lingual orthodontics

It is the only treatment alternative that fully fulfills the “invisible” condition, since in this type of orthodontics the brackets are placed on the inside of the teeth, that is, on the lingual side. From the outside it is imperceptible and they are made with the same material as traditional orthodontics.

Orthodontics with clear aligners such as Invisalign® teen

Orthodontics with clear aligners (Invisalign teen)

A good alternative for young people who want a 100% effective treatment without forgetting the aesthetic element. The bracket made of sapphire crystal is practically transparent, does not stain and is camouflaged with the own color of the teeth; And even though the arch is perhaps something that is not so imperceptible, for many it is considered a minor problem.

Stay in control at all times

Between the ages of 11 and 15, most permanent teeth have erupted. At this time it is recommended to correct any dental malposition.
