A way to straighten all your teeth
Orthodontics is the fitting of braces to straigthen the alignment of teeth. Often carried out during school years it is becoming increasingly popular with adults as a number of new products that reduce the visibility of the fitting have come onto the market.
How does it work?
Braces apply a constant gentle pressure to the teeth encouraging them over time to move into their correct place. It's as simple at that!
What is the procedure like?
Orthodontics requires regular visits and usually takes about 2 years to complete though a lot depends on the individuals teeth. A brace is created initially and subsequent visits change the pressure being applied to the teeth to ensure a good final result. A retainer may be used after the brace has done its work to ensure the teeth do not move out of alignment.
What different types exist?
Metal
These are the cheapest kind of brace - and the most visible.
Invisible / Ceramic
A number of options allow the use of braces that are hard to see - through use of materials that blend with the natural look of your teeth. These are usually more expensive than metal braces and can take longer to complete the straightening process further increasing the cost.
Lingual Braces
Fitted behind the teeth these have the advantage of not usually being visible. They take a while to get used to and people can experience speech difficulties at first.
What affects the price?
- The type of brace.
- How much adjustment needs to be done.
- The amount of visits that will be required.

Save yourself up to 70% on dentistry in Tijuana
Tijuana lies on the border with California, a stones throw from San Diego. The city, once seen as a playground for Hollywood stars and Las Vegas mobsters, is now a modern urban center of 1.5 million, with a large manufacturing base supplying the North American market with cars, electronics and pharmaceuticals. Low property prices and its proximity to the border make it a popular retirement location and increasingly a commuter zone for Americans seeking lower costs of living.
Tijuana acts as a draw for skilled dental workers, with clinics competing on quality as well as price with those just across the border. Dentists in Tijuana have easy access to training programs in California, with several regional initiatives encouraging training north of the border.
To the south of Tijuana is the Baja peninsula with hundreds of miles of beautiful coastline, much of it totally unspoilt, fishing villages and resorts dot the sea-shore and some are home to dental practices that offer a more vacation like alternative to those in the border cities. Access is easy - the border sees over 200,000 crossings each day. Flights can be taken into the nearby San Diego airport, only 20 miles to the north, or directly to General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport on the edge of the city. An American drivers licence is valid for Tijuana and all of the Baja peninsula.
