Often, in the dental checkups we perform on our patients, we encounter a clear desire to improve their smile. However, they don't quite take the step due to fear of change, fear of looking strange, the belief that it's too late, or the thought that there's no solution for their case.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Currently, there are various types of orthodontics, and one that perfectly adapts to your needs, lifestyle, and budget. At Microdental Clinic in Mojacar, we offer all modern orthodontic solutions.

Understanding your orthodontic options

1. Traditional metal braces

The classic choice that remains highly effective:

• Pros: Most affordable, highly effective for complex cases, durable, precise control
• Cons: Most visible option, dietary restrictions, requires careful cleaning
• Best for: Children, teens, complex cases, budget-conscious patients
• Treatment time: 18-24 months average

2. Ceramic braces

A more aesthetic version of traditional braces:

• Pros: Less visible (tooth-colored or clear), effective as metal braces
• Cons: Slightly more expensive, can stain if not cared for properly, slightly larger
• Best for: Adults and teens wanting discretion, moderate to complex cases
• Treatment time: 18-24 months

3. Lingual braces

Hidden braces placed behind your teeth:

• Pros: Completely invisible from front, highly customized, no risk of front enamel damage
• Cons: Most expensive, initial speech adjustment, longer appointments, cleaning challenges
• Best for: Adults in public-facing roles, those wanting complete invisibility
• Treatment time: 18-36 months

4. Clear aligners (Invisalign)

The revolutionary removable option:

• Pros: Nearly invisible, removable for eating/cleaning, comfortable, fewer office visits
• Cons: Requires discipline (22 hours/day wear), not for severe cases, can be lost
• Best for: Adults, responsible teens, mild to moderate cases, busy lifestyles
• Treatment time: 12-18 months average
