Orthodontics | Anita Ankova Dental Clinic

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry dedicated to aligning teeth. At Anita Ankova Clinic in Navalcarnero, we use conventional techniques with brackets and invisible orthodontics to move each tooth to its ideal position, improving function and aesthetics. When patients are children or teenagers, we perform interceptive orthodontics, guiding the bone growth process in children with appliances that allow for the correct stimulation of the jaws, taking advantage of children’s growth phases.

The benefits of orthodontics go far beyond aligning our teeth. When teeth are correctly positioned, it allows for simpler, more effective, and optimal hygiene. Patients with proper alignment suffer fewer cavities, gum diseases such as periodontitis, and alterations in the shape and position of the gums, as orthodontics allows us to close spaces or correct crowding. Functionally, a correct bite prevents disorders or diseases of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). In summary, orthodontic treatments prolong the life and functionality of the oral cavity.

Currently, we have a range of orthodontic techniques, and at Anita Ankova Dental Clinic in Navalcarnero, we are specialists. We work with the most innovative and current techniques such as transparent or invisible aligners. This is one of the most requested treatments, as they are more comfortable, easy to use, and barely visible.

Invisible Orthodontics

At Anita Ankova Dental Clinic, we are committed to innovative methods and techniques that increase patient comfort without sacrificing the quality of the final results of our treatments. The first step is to perform a specific study (photos of the face and facial profile, intraoral photos along with radiographs) that is used for the digitalization of each patient, creating a virtual model that allows us to visualize the final smile results before starting the orthodontic treatment. The sequence of aligners makes controlled and gentle movements on the teeth and gradually modifies the bite. This technique is especially beneficial for patients who live far away or travel abroad, as the aligners are changed weekly, and clinical reviews are less frequent than with traditional orthodontic techniques.

Traditional Orthodontics with Brackets

In our dental clinic in Navalcarnero, we perform orthodontics with brackets. This technique is very suitable for children, teenagers, or adults with less commitment, as they cannot be removed by themselves. This allows us total control of the treatment and excellent functional and aesthetic results.

Orthopedics and Interceptive Orthodontics

Children are in a plastic phase of growth and bone development, which allows us to act in time with different appliances as they develop, thereby interfering with their chewing, swallowing, and breathing habits. We use fixed or removable functional appliances that can be combined with brackets. These appliances allow us to act in time for the correction of crossbites, atypical swallowing, speech therapy problems, solving common habits of thumb and/or pacifier sucking.
