The duration of your orthodontic treatment will depend on the complexity of your case and the type of treatment you choose. If you opt for clear aligners such as Invisalign, the process may be faster for mild to moderate cases. For braces (metal or ceramic), the average treatment time is usually between 12 and 24 months. We’ll provide you with an accurate estimate during your free initial consultation at our clinic in Vilafranca.

It is normal to experience slight pressure or discomfort at the start of treatment, whether with braces or when switching to clear aligners. This sensation, which indicates that the teeth are moving, is temporary and can be easily managed with pain relievers. Most patients at Vilafranca Orthodontics adapt quickly and experience minimal discomfort.

If you’re wearing braces, we recommend avoiding very hard, sticky, or crunchy foods to prevent damage to your braces. On the other hand, the big advantage of clear aligners is that you can remove them to eat, which means you won’t have any dietary restrictions. We’ll provide you with all the necessary instructions.

Good oral hygiene is essential during any orthodontic treatment.

• With braces: We recommend using interdental brushes, special dental floss (super floss), and, if possible, an oral irrigator.

• If you wear clear aligners: Brush your teeth after every meal and clean your aligners with the appropriate products.

In addition, we recommend that you have regular professional cleanings at our orthodontic clinic in Vilafranca.

Orthodontic treatment can be performed on both children and adults. An early evaluation allows for the detection of bite or developmental problems and helps determine the best time to begin treatment.

Both options can be effective. The choice depends on the diagnosis, the patient’s needs, the complexity of the case, and the patient’s aesthetic preferences.
