Our mission at Dientes & Sonrisa Láser Bogotá is to provide all our patients with a pleasant experience in our facilities while performing high-end and sophisticated orthodontic treatment.
One of the most common problems related to dental problems is the shape and arrangement of the teeth and jaws, which for different reasons present obvious irregularities. In some more complicated cases, these dental and bone anomalies significantly affect the shape of the face and, as a consequence, people's self-esteem.
Orthodontics is a fundamental dental technique to achieve a good smile design. In many of our patients, having well-aligned teeth achieves a better harmony between the dental set and the face. We cannot ignore the need to have a perfect bite, in addition to the aesthetic part, good orthodontic treatment is important to correct imperfections that affect normal performance when chewing.

Orthodontic treatment can last between 6 to 24 months. It depends on the complexity of the case, the quality of the brackets, the type of brackets (conventional or self-ligating), if they are metallic or aesthetic, if extractions are required. Bracket companies help us more and more to shorten times. The treatments designed by software are the fastest and also the acceleration with Diode laser.
At DientesySonrisa- Invisible Orthodontics Bogotá from the beginning we give you the estimated treatment time, cost and plans so that you are very clear about the approximate duration of your treatment.
Orthodontics can improve your smile by straightening and aligning your teeth. This can be done using braces, clear aligners, or other devices. Straightening your teeth can not only improve the appearance of your smile, it can also improve the function of your bite and make it easier to clean your teeth, which can lead to better overall oral health. Additionally, aligning your dentures can help alleviate any pain or discomfort caused by a misaligned bite.
Some common orthodontic treatments include:
Metal braces: Traditional metal braces use brackets and wires to slowly move teeth into the desired position.
Clear Brackets: Clear braces are similar to metal braces, but use clear or tooth-colored wires and brackets, making them less noticeable.
Lingual braces: lingual braces are similar to metal braces, but are placed inside the teeth, making them virtually invisible.
Clear aligners: Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, use a series of removable, clear plastic trays to gradually shift teeth into the desired position.
Self-ligating braces: Self-ligating braces are similar to traditional metal braces, but use a special clip instead of elastic bands to hold the wire in place.
Your orthodontist will recommend the best treatment option based on your specific needs and goals.
Some of the possible risks and side effects of orthodontic treatment include:
Teeth and jaw pain: During the first few days after braces are placed, it is common to experience tooth and jaw pain due to the pressure the appliance puts on the teeth and gums.
Gum irritation: Orthodontic appliances can irritate the gums, causing inflammation and bleeding.
Mouth injuries: Orthodontic appliances can cause injuries to the tongue, cheeks or gums due to constant friction.
Temporary changes in chewing and speaking: Orthodontic appliances may temporarily affect chewing and speaking until the patient becomes accustomed to the appliance.
Sliding teeth: If not cleaned properly or if rubber pads are not used, teeth can shift out of their proper position.
It's important to talk to your orthodontist about any concerns or side effects you experience during treatment.
At our Dientes & Sonrisa Láser Bogotá clinic, we recommend the use of a transparent removable retainer such as Invisalign or Exiss for a minimum of 3 months, 24 hours a day, to consolidate the position of the teeth. After 3 months, we recommend visiting us for a retention check and using these transparent retainers only at night. We generally recommend them for 2 years, but this time can vary.
There are 2 types of retention. The thin wires with various shapes that are fixed behind the teeth with fluid resin and transparent plates or the traditional ones made in our laboratory with acrylic and a wire in front from canine to canine or continuous up to the molars. We have enough time to decide which one is ideal for you depending on hygiene during treatment and judicious attendance at monthly check-ups.
You should definitely change your eating habits from day one. Avoid sticky, hard, crunchy foods such as:
• Hard candies and colombinas.
• Toasted bread.
• Nuts and seeds.
• Sticky candies like frunas and gums.
• Chicharrón, PROHIBITED.
• Gum balls.
• Bite Ice.
• Cobs.
Nor should you bite apples, pears, pizza, hamburgers and tough meats with your front or front teeth. You are forbidden to tear. But CALM, you can do it by breaking it with a fork and knife into small pieces. These dietary recommendations and the hygiene kit will be delivered by our specialist as soon as you finish cementing your brackets.
The time it takes for each tooth to straighten or reach the right place can vary greatly depending on the age of the patient, quality and type of brackets. Each case is different and depends on the complexity of the treatment. In adult patients it takes longer, since the mandible has finished forming. That is why it is important to start orthodontic treatment with brackets at an early age, between 11 and 13 years of age.
A tooth moves approximately 1mm each month and it is the time necessary for your new control. Trust your orthodontist and the changes will be seen very soon if you have doubts you can always have a second opinion. Do not hesitate to contact us, via WhatsApp it is easier.
It is the most important question that patients ask me as soon as we place the brackets.
That is why at DientesySonrisa - Invisible Orthodontics Bogotá we deliver the Orthodontic Kit at the first appointment. In the kit we have the brush indicated for orthodontics that has a V in the center so as not to knock down the brackets. Comes with dental floss, long and short junipers, interdental brushes and something very important: wax that will help you in the first 2 months where you will have blisters and small lacerations on your cheeks and lips.
In our link you can consult the correct way to brush:

Both systems are effective, even so, there are some differences, advantages and disadvantages in both processes, here we describe them for you.
The advantages of fixed retention are:
1. It works 24 hours a day.
2. It is always there, it is not necessary to remove or put on.
3. It does not need any adjustment or maintenance.
The disadvantages of fixed withholding are:
1. You can't eat hard things, bite apples, mangoes, pears because it might peel off.
2. You need to be extremely judicious with hygiene, floss, interdental or interproximal brushes and hopefully a Water Pik.
3. If it comes unstuck, you must go immediately to the clinic so that the loose wire does not irritate your tongue or you lose the smile that you worked so hard to obtain.
The advantages of removable retention are:
1. Eat what you want since it will not take off. Nothing is fixed.
2. If it breaks, bends or has a defect, just don't use it, it won't hurt you. You stop using it and we repeat it. It has a 1-year guarantee at our DientesySonrisa- Invisible Orthodontics Bogota clinic.
3. It is easy to clean with a toothbrush and toothpaste. There are Corega pills to leave it for a few minutes and it will be like new. Clean, fresh breath and pleasant flavor.
4. You can easily brush and floss as many times as you want a day.
The disadvantages of removable retention are:
1. You must be judicious, obedient and USE IT. It only works if you use it, if you forget to put it it doesn't work.
2. It is easily lost. You leave it in a restaurant, on a trip or anywhere else.
3. You break it, you sit on it, the dog eats it. New stories come to us every day.
The steps are very simple:
1. Go to the consultation. Verify that your Dr. is a specialist in ORTHODONTICS from a good University. Check their credentials, diploma, authorization by the Secretary of Health and ask all you want. Don't be left with any doubt about your treatment, times, price and method of payment.
2. They will request diagnostic tests such as panoramic and profile X-rays, tomography if necessary, 3D scanner, digital photos and bone analysis.
3. Clinical examination and detailed Clinical History. Be sure to review and sign the informed consent.
4. Today there are many brands of brackets. Metallic or aesthetic. Conventional or self-ligating. Invisible like linguals and aligners like Invisalign. Let the specialist guide you. The most expensive is not always the ideal for your treatment.
You are ready, let's start and enjoy this orthodontics that soon you will be able to show off a beautiful smile.
The frequency of control appointments varies depending on the problem presented by the patient and also on the bracket technique we choose. Here are some approximate times according to each treatment.
1. Conventional Orthodontics: appointments every 30 days.
2. Self-ligating Orthodontics: appointments every 45 to 60 days.
3. Lingual Orthodontics: appointments every 30 days (1 month)
4. Orthodontics without Invisalign brackets: every 30 days
The effective forces for the movement of teeth with orthodontics are smooth and continuous, for which it is necessary to activate them in control appointments at the times given by the manufacturer of the brackets, periodic updates and the experience of the professional. In this way, the gentle and constant pressure necessary for the treatment to develop in the planned times from the first assessment appointment is maintained.
VERY IMPORTANT: The softer the forces, the less discomfort for the patient, and it will never be possible to make up for an absence from control appointments with greater force.
There are several ways to find out if your Dr. Or Dentist is who he says he is:
1. There are different associations or federations that bring together health professionals in all areas. In orthodontics, the best known is the Colombian Society of Orthodontics.
2. The Colombian College of Dentists can help you.
3. The easiest is to look for the Empowerment star that should be in a visible place in the clinic.
4. The diploma can also help you. Look for it, take a picture of it with your cell phone and find out.
At DientesySonrisa all our professionals are from the best Universities in the country. Check this link:

The answer is only one: it is NOT necessary to extract third molars, wisdom teeth or wisdom teeth before, during or after our orthodontics. Only if it is observed that these molars or wisdom teeth are impacted, retained or develop an infectious process (pus), they cause pain, food retention or bother to perform a posterior orthodontic movement with mini-implants, we ask the maxillofacial surgeon to remove them. .
At Dientes & Sonrisa Láser Bogotá we have a maxillofacial surgeon and the procedure can be performed under the supervision of your orthodontist.
It is important that you choose a good orthodontist or clinic, hopefully a small one, because orthodontic treatment lasts several months. That is specialized in orthodontics, that meets your expectations, that is personalized and effective within the agreed deadlines.
1. Find a place where they can attend to your emergencies, where you can have the doctor's WhatsApp. That the clinic always has orthodontists on staff, those clinics that go to the doctor a few days a month is not advisable.
2. Look for your doctor on social networks Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. What experience do you have, where have you worked, what certifications do you have, are you constantly training, are you a university professor, etc….
3. Check if they invest in renewing their equipment, laser, 3D scanner, digital technology. They are at the forefront.
4. In Google My business or Google My business you will find many reviews and ratings. You can review them until you write to a patient to receive advice.
Finally, all the staff (auxiliary, secretary, X-ray staff, even the security guard or doorman) who attend you at the clinic, are essential when choosing an orthodontic clinic. At Dientes & Sonrisa Láser Bogota we transmit confidence, security, knowledge and tranquility to the patient from the first moment he comes to the clinic.
Sometimes some teeth become crooked again after several months or years with the brackets in the mouth. Surely your doctor at some point told you that TEETH HAVE MEMORY. But there are other causes or reasons why they can move. Mainly because:
1. Not using retainers for as long as the orthodontist recommended.
2. The fixed retainer came off and you didn't notice.
3. A very short orthodontia or they were removed due to an unscheduled trip.
4. Impacted wisdom teeth or wisdom teeth that I did not perform the surgery on time.
5. With age all front teeth become crowded or crooked.
6. Lingual frenulum that surgery was not performed.
7. Loss of teeth.
8. Due to bruxism or clenching of the teeth.
When the movements are small with some Exiss plates or a wire retainer it can be solved in a few weeks. Ask us and we can help you with the fastest and easiest treatment.
The exams that should be requested if or if they are: A basic package with some profile and panoramic x-rays, 8 photos of the face and teeth, bone analysis. For more complex cases, tomographies, 3D scanners, models and periapical radiographs are requested.
