If your dream is to have straight teeth, you are in the right place.

Do you need braces?

Do you:

Want Straight teeth?
Have jaw pain that won't go away?
Have teeth growing where they are not meant to grow?
Have an uneven or offset bite?
Have large gaps in your teeth where food is getting stuck?

Braces are one of the most popular dental treatments that everyone knows about. Braces are best known for helping straighten your teeth. However, Braces aren't just for aesthetic purposes, they can sometimes be necessary to fix your bite.

Braces are made out of a few materials. Metal is the base material that you must have in your mouth if you get braces. The other material that they can be made from is Ceramic (the clear braces).

Step 1: General Evaluation

The first step as with any treatment is to see your General Dentist, this is in order to make sure there is nothing else that needs to be checked on before you can get braces.

For instance, you can not have braces placed if you have active gum disease or Cavities. Your General dentist will let you know if there is anything you need to take care of before you even start the process of putting on braces. You need a clean healthy mouth before you can have braces placed.

Step 2: Orthodontic Study X-rays.

Once you are cleared of all dental health issues and the General dentist has determined that Braces will help you in your journey to a healthy and happy mouth, you will be sent to our partner lab to have a series of photos, X-rays and Molds done. Once the lab has delivered your studies to us, we will call you to schedule your appointment with our Specialist.

We here at Odontologa Integral de Mexico, will give you an order form that you can provide to the Lab in order for them to give you the series of x-rays that we need.

How much do these studies cost? around $1000 - $2000 Mexican Pesos. (50-100) USD aprox depending on conversion rate of the day)
