Orthodontics

Orthodontics specialises in problems related with the position and alignment of the teeth.

Orthodontics is a very specific speciality of dentistry. It specialises in the correction of the position of the teeth with the aid of fixed or removable appliances.

The most common orthodontic problems are the crowding (lack of space), the upper teeth are inside the lower teeth (crossbite), the upper teeth are prominent or when the lower teeth are in front of the upper teeth.

At Poço Novo Clinic we work with experienced professionals and use the most innovative and appropriate methods for each clinical case.

Objectives of Orthodontics

  • Improve the masticatory function, enabling better swallowing, phonation and breathing;
  • Promote dental alignment;
  • Improve the aesthetic appearance of the smile and the patient’s self-esteem;
  • Prevent or treat problems in the temporo-mandibular joints;
  • Improve oral hygiene and gum health (as “recessed” teeth are more difficult to clean).

Dental brace

A dental brace consists in the careful application of pressure on the teeth and jaws. There are diverse types of dental braces which can be fixed or removable. Orthodontic treatment, the type of brace and its durability depend on a meticulous and personalised analysis in order to be as effective as possible.
