For most people, a beautiful smile is the most obvious benefit of teeth braces. We believe that it’s more than just a smile. Straight teeth help an individual effectively bite, chew and speak, contributing to healthy teeth and gums.
Properly aligned teeth and jaws may alleviate or prevent physical health problems. Teeth that function better also tend to look better. An attractive smile is a pleasant “side effect” of orthodontic treatment.
You may be surprised to learn that straight teeth are less prone to decay, gum disease, and injury. Straight teeth collect less plaque, a colorless, sticky film composed of bacteria, food, and saliva.
Orthodontics is the specialty responsible for correcting the teeth’ position and skeletal abnormalities taking into account facial aesthetics, dental aesthetics, articular health, and periodontal.

Why Having Teeth Braces is Important?
Our custom teeth braces in Tijuana have helped patients develop healthy smiles, recover and improve their self-esteem. Get the orthodontic treatment you deserve.
Few people have perfectly naturally aligned teeth. Suppose you’re not part of the lucky ones; in that case, the solution is orthodontics, which specializes in diagnosis, prevention and carries out appropriate treatment to correct irregularities (both dental and facial) that may arise.
Some of the dental and facial problems that most often occur are the following:
- Crowding (teeth crowded due to lack of space)
- Spaces between teeth
- Open bite
- Posterior crossbite
- Dental protrusion or maxillary protrusion (upper teeth left)
- Overgrowth of the jaw
- Pain or jaw sounds

What are the Benefits of Having Dental Braces?
These appliances (dental braces) are responsible for straightening the teeth. We position them steadily by applying pressure on the teeth and preserving them in a fixed position for a certain time.
It’s necessary to make a thorough diagnosis to create a personalized treatment plan that establishes clear treatment objectives and provides stability and function to each patient.
Many children and adults require orthodontic treatment made of rubber bands and wires to help correct teeth by applying pressure. The wires are responsible for repositioning the teeth, while the rubber bands are used to correct alignment.
Some orthodontics treatments are combined with therapeutic devices such as facial masks, mouth guards, or palatal expander devices. This can be done prior or after your orthodontics procedure.
How Long Will You Have Braces?
To integrate all the information, it will be possible to elaborate the treatment plan that will continue in each case, show the patient the clinical case, objectives of treatment, and the time in which it will take place.
In the diagnostic presentation, the patient will be informed about the different systems indicated to treat their case. Being able to choose between different orthodontic options, from conventional brackets to the most innovative and aesthetic, personalized, and self-ligating. Options give a more efficient dental movement and reducing the number of appointments.
The duration of orthodontic treatment will depend to a large extent on the malocclusion or crowding that each patient presents and the constancy of their monthly adjustment’s appointments.
Different Types of Braces
Dentists can implement different types of orthodontic systems to correct your smile at Dental Alvarez.
However, you need to get a consultation with our specialists to determine the right one for you.
These are the types of braces available:
- Infant or first stage orthodontics: Its main objective is to correct oral habits and facial discrepancies.
- Traditional braces: Metal braces that cost and resistance make them the most popular braces in the clinic.
- Aesthetic Braces: Ceramic or sapphire braces that go unnoticed without changing color and are much less noticeable than metal braces.
- Self-Ligated Braces: They allow continuous and light forces that decrease the treatment time and the number of appointments, thus offering a faster treatment. We have both self-ligating metal braces as well as aesthetics.
- Invisalign: System consisting of a series of invisible aligners that should be used 22hrs a day to achieve treatment goals. They are very comfortable and highly aesthetic.

Clear Aligners vs Regular Braces: Which is Faster?
Teeth Braces have come a long way from the “train track” look of years ago. Today, many orthodontic patients can get braces that attach to the backs of the teeth or use transparent brackets.
- Treatment time for traditional metal braces is usually 2-3 years, while clear aligners braces require less time
- Traditional teeth braces show a metal framework, while a clear aligners system uses a set of clear thin acrylic aligners almost invisible to simple sight
- Regular braces and clear aligners can vary in price
- Regular braces focus on malocclusion problems besides aligning your teeth, while clear aligners focus on the cosmetic part of aligning with rotation movements but not with translation movements

We can offer dental services with 50% to 75% less than the average costs in the United States, without considering your insurance coverage. If you happen to have dental insurance in Tijuana, don´t forget to ask if we accept it, your savings can be even higher.

What Patients Say
Had a great experience. Went in to have 3rd molars extracted. Had them both out in about 10 minutes! Felt very comfortable there. They have underground parking, so you don’t have to leave your car on the street. The price was great (compared to U.S. costs). They were very professional. I’ll be back soon for the other side!
Marcus Field
Again I have to say the best place for dental work. Amazing staff, dentists, and assistants. I’m a huge chicken when it come to dental work. Not once did I feel uneasy or even pain. I had 8 lower teeth pulled. Go back in November for implants.
