Orthodontics
WHAT IS IT?
Orthodontics is a type of dental treatment whose function is to diagnose any type of alteration in terms of position and function of our dental parts. Thanks to orthodontics, we can correct any type of alteration or anomaly that you have in your mouth.
Invisible. Removible. Fixed
Orthodontic treatment is focused on improving your dental aesthetics, always according to your own needs. This type of oral treatment can be performed in 2 main ways, that known as removable or fixed orthodontics.
Fixed orthodontics
This type of orthodontics is one of the most used today, mainly because they are the cheapest of all and offer really positive benefits for your dental health.
This type of dental treatment, as a rule, usually consists of 3 different aspects:
- Certain groups which function as support or retention.
- Certain types of elements called stainless steel wires, TMA, nitinol, etc.
- Other auxiliary parts such as retractable springs or ligatures, which may be made of rubber or wire.
.
This type of orthodontic treatment has both advantages and disadvantages. For example, in their favor, we should note that these are shorter dental treatments, so that the intensity and force exerted on the bite can be controlled. In addition, the patient’s own help is not required and does not in any way make the person’s telephone difficult.
The biggest drawback of this orthodontics in Malaga is that it is usually quite boring when it comes to cleaning your mouth. These orthodontic appliances are also more complicated to install and are much less aesthetic than removable orthodontic appliances.
Removable orthodontics
These removable orthodontic appliances are more comfortable than fixed appliances, since the patient himself can remove them during meals or when cleaning the mouth. This type of treatment in the field of orthodontics is able to improve different types of malocclusion in the person at a cheaper price.
In addition, it significantly improves the patient’s smile, greatly improving the dental aesthetics itself. It is usually focused primarily on orthodontics for children or children, although it is also prescribed for orthodontics in adults at the same time.
Metal supports
Invisible orthodontics or Invisalign
The world of orthodontics has changed a lot over the years and now we can talk about transparent orthodontics or without brackets, a completely revolutionary treatment. Thanks to him, all kinds of problems such as the following are improved:
– excessive separation of dental parts
– dental overcrowding
– overbite
– cross bite and much more
Invisible orthodontics is perfect and ideal for all those who need an orthodontic appliance but who are hesitant to use it because they work in front of the public. Invisible orthodontics and lingual orthotics are perfect for this task.
The biggest difference we can find in this type of treatment and the traditional ones with aligners is that they are completely transparent and do not use any type of support. They simply use 2 aligners which correct the wrong position of the teeth, which are replaced every 2 weeks.
In addition, you can remove them during meals or when you are going to perform your dental hygiene, because they are very comfortable to wear and will not produce any type of friction. At Clínica Tafur, we are specialists in invisible orthodontics, come and find out quickly !!
Aesthetic supports
It is a type of fixed device that promotes perfect alignment of our teeth and improves both the bite and the malocclusion of the patient. If you are wondering what material are cosmetic orthotics, they can be made of various substances, such as:
Sapphire supports: they are really transparent and small. They are also very resistant, do not deform and adhere perfectly to dental parts. It is the most requested type of orthodontics today and it is not stained.
Zirconium: thanks to this material, greater resistance is obtained while improving the aesthetics of the patient because they are white, very similar to dentin. In addition, they do not stain despite wine or tobacco.
Porcelain supports – Previously in high demand, but have been improved by zircon and sapphire supports.

Metal supports
As for this class of supports, they are those of a lifetime, which also offer high resistance for a lower price. One support is placed per dental part and these will be joined by an orthodontic arch. Its main objective is to solve the problems related to both the bite and possible overcrowding, while closing any existing interdental space.
Among its main advantages, besides the price, is its resistance. They are ideal for the treatment of children’s orthodontics.
Among its disadvantages, we can point out that the physical aspect of the patient, because, as we have already commented, more and more people are opting for cosmetic facial treatments to take care of their physical appearance. This is why the main problem with this treatment is that it is constantly in view.
The main feature of these brackets is that they do not have ligatures, as is the case with other treatments. They are replaced by certain types of clips which are placed right between what is the orthodontic arch itself and the support. With this, these dental pieces can be moved to a correct position. They are also known as Damon Orthodontics. although there are many other brands of self-ligating today.
One of the main advantages of using this orthodontic appliance is that you will hardly notice any pressure when wearing the appliance. In addition, its cleaning is quite simple because it does not contain any type of rubber. In addition, it is not necessary to go to your dental clinic regularly to check the state of orthodontics as it can happen with other types of treatment.

Tafur dental clinic
Experts in maxillofacial orthopedics
A computer program allows us to simulate the desired movements of the teeth before starting orthodontic treatment. In this way we can show the patient the estimated result before starting the treatment and evaluate the possible alternatives with him.
We take the measurements of the prosthesis and send the obtained file to the United States, where a team of experts in collaboration with our orthodontist evaluates the treatment plan.
Once the patient has given the green light to the treatment proposal, personalized supports and bows are made for the patient, i.e. the supports are only used for this case and incorporate exclusively individualized movements for this patient.
This high individualization in the design of the components of the orthodontic system allows the patient to see the treatment time reduced compared to conventional techniques. The obvious advantages of this technique compared to the rest made us bet once again on an innovative and advanced technological system in clinical practice.
In our center, we have a specialist in orthodontics and maxillofacial orthopedics, which allows us to offer our patients a global solution to their problem.
Unlike the traditional system, in which the orthodontist adapts the standard orthoses and arches to the patient’s teeth, thanks to an advanced 3D planning system, it is possible to quickly and precisely correct the malposition of the teeth.
In our dental clinic, we are pioneers in Spain integrating the CEREC Connect system, which allows us to take a three-dimensional measurement of the patient’s teeth using an intraoral scanner.
