Depending on the moment in which the orthodontic technique is performed, we can find the following types:
Preventive orthodontics. Orthodontics focused on making small corrections in the teeth, as well as controlling bad habits and imbalances.
Interceptive orthodontics. It is usually performed in children during temporary (milk) or mixed dentition, between 6 and 10 years of age, and is indicated for the correction of initial changes of a weak bite. It has the purpose of modifying bone, contributing positively to the development of harmonious, functional and aesthetic permanent teeth.
Corrective orthodontics. It is usually performed in youth and adulthood to solve an existing problem of poor occlusion, morphology and facial aesthetics.
