Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics are the branches of dentistry that specialize in diagnosing, preventing and treating dental and craniofacial irregularities in children, teens and adults.
Always attentive to detail and using state-of-the-art technology, the Carrillo doctors apply multiple modern techniques in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics (guiding the growth of the facial bones) to achieve excellent esthetic and functional results. As a result, Dr. Carrillo González and Dr. Carrillo Fuentevilla have published their cases and patented techniques in the most respected international scientific journals, and are regularly invited to lecture by leading national and international associations.
More than esthetics
Orthodontics is not only about straightening teeth: it also improves bite function and overall oral health.
- Well-aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- A correct bite helps prevent jaw pain and headaches associated with TMJ problems.
- A straighter smile improves confidence and self-esteem.
- Timely diagnosis and treatment can prevent future problems and save costs.
Types of appliances
Each patient's needs determine which appliance is best for their treatment plan:
- Metal braces: very effective for complex problems such as crowding or misaligned bites.
- Ceramic braces: work the same way, but are clear and blend with the natural color of the teeth.
- Lingual orthodontics: brackets placed behind the teeth, completely invisible.
- Clear aligners: custom-made transparent trays, with no wires or brackets.
- Orthopedic appliances: such as expanders, which help correct the bite and guide jaw growth.
Certified in the most advanced orthodontic techniques
Given our patients' high demands for quality and esthetics, Dr. Roberto Carrillo González and Dr. Roberto Carrillo Fuentevilla are considered pioneering orthodontists in Latin America in esthetic techniques such as clear aligners, as well as in their patented Lingual Orthodontics techniques (behind the teeth), with which they have successfully treated a large number of patients for many years.
We are delighted to see patients we treated as teenagers come back with their own children. We are proud that patients have trusted us with their loved ones for three generations.
“Thanks to the Carrillo doctors I have a smile I love.”
