Metal and aesthetic braces
Metal and aesthetic braces (Mallorca · Can Pastilla)
Braces remain the most versatile tool when maximum biomechanical control is needed: large rotations, extractions, including embedded or moderate skeletal discrepancies. In Can Pastilla we work with ceramic/sapphire braces of high discretion and low friction to shorten times and improve comfort.
What braces solve
Complete alignment, bite correction and coordination of the arches. Ideal if you don’t want to depend on removability or malocclusion requires complex movements.
Process
Study → cementation → periodic activations → finishing phase → retainers.
Care
Proper oral hygiene (brush, floss/interdental, irrigator), avoid sticky/hard foods and adhere to controls to prevent decalcification.
Why choose us
We plan with a global approach: oral health, function and final aesthetics. We offer aesthetic options without sacrificing effectiveness.
Frequently asked questions
How long do they last and how is the adaptation?
Initial adaptation causes pressure at 48–72 h. Average duration is 12 to 24 months depending on complexity and collaboration (hygiene, care of orthodontia).
Do ceramic brackets stain?
Ceramic brackets no; elastic ligatures can stain and can be changed at the appointment. Sapphire brackets are very discreet.
Can I play sports?
Yes, if there is contact, use a mouth guard. For any accident/injury, advice to avoid delays.
Will I have to wear retainers?
Yes, just like with braces: it's the only way to preserve the result long-term.
