Orthodontics in Valencia is the branch of dentistry specialised in correcting tooth position, bite problems and jaw alignment. Its purpose is twofold: to improve the aesthetics of your smile and to ensure healthy chewing function in the long term.
Not all malocclusions are the same, and choosing the wrong treatment can unnecessarily lengthen the process by months or increase the cost. Knowing which types of orthodontics exist, which one fits your case and what factors determine the price is key to making an informed decision.
At Clínica Dental Asensio we have spent more than 20 years treating orthodontic cases in Valencia, from mild crowding to complex malocclusions with a skeletal component. Our treatments are planned and supervised by Dr. José Luis Lanuza (Registration No. 46002399), a specialist with extensive experience in advanced orthodontics. On this page you will find a complete guide to all available treatments, their indications and what makes each option different.
When is orthodontic treatment necessary?
Orthodontics is not exclusively an aesthetic treatment. There are clinical situations in which correcting tooth position or the relationship between the jaws is essential for long-term oral health. The most common cases we treat at Clínica Dental Asensio in Valencia are:
Dental crowding: teeth do not have enough space in the arch and overlap one another. This makes proper hygiene difficult and encourages plaque build-up in areas the toothbrush cannot reach.
Crossbite: one or more upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to asymmetric enamel wear and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems.
Diastemas: excessive spaces between teeth which, beyond aesthetics, may indicate tooth size problems or a lack of interproximal contact.
Open bite or deep bite: when the front teeth do not come into proper contact when closing the mouth, causing an inadequate distribution of chewing forces.
TMJ problems associated with malocclusion: headaches, jaw clicking or premature enamel wear caused by an incorrect bite.
Early detection in children, ideally before the age of 12, allows bone growth to be used to solve many of these problems more effectively and at a lower cost. In adults, current treatments achieve equivalent results with the right techniques.
Types of orthodontics in Valencia
Each case requires a different solution. At Clínica Dental Asensio we offer all orthodontic systems currently available, so that the treatment can be adapted to your clinical situation, your lifestyle and your budget.
1. Self-ligating braces Valencia
A direct evolution of traditional braces. Their ligature-free system reduces friction on the archwire, resulting in more efficient tooth movement, fewer follow-up visits and a shorter overall treatment time. They are especially suitable for moderate to severe crowding where precise control of tooth torque is required.
2. Invisalign Valencia
The most advanced clear aligner system on the market. Using custom-made removable trays manufactured with 3D technology, it corrects tooth position progressively and almost imperceptibly. Because they can be removed for eating and hygiene, they eliminate the dietary restrictions of braces and make it easier to maintain periodontal health during treatment.
3. Lingual orthodontics Valencia
Brackets are bonded to the inner surface of the teeth, completely hidden from view. It is the most discreet fixed orthodontic solution, without the limitations of aligners in highly complex cases. It requires a phonetic adaptation period of two to four weeks.
4. Aesthetic orthodontics Valencia
Sapphire or ceramic brackets that mimic the colour of dental enamel. They offer the effectiveness of conventional fixed orthodontics with a much lower aesthetic impact. They are an intermediate option between metal braces and aligners, generally with a lower cost than lingual orthodontics or Invisalign.
5. Fixed orthodontics Valencia
The system of metal brackets and wires is the reference treatment because of its ability to control tooth movement in three dimensions. It makes it possible to solve complex cases with great precision and remains the most cost-efficient option in terms of result per euro invested.
6. Children’s orthodontics Valencia
Treatment at an early age takes advantage of bone growth plasticity to correct deviations that in adulthood would require much more complex interventions. The first orthodontic check-up is recommended between the ages of 6 and 8, when both primary and permanent teeth are still present.
Invisible orthodontics in Valencia
Invisible orthodontics in Valencia is the alternative to braces for those who want to correct their smile without visible appliances during treatment. Unlike metal or aesthetic braces, invisible orthodontic systems use removable transparent aligners that are changed progressively until the desired tooth position is achieved.
The system with the greatest clinical backing, the most precise digital planning and the highest volume of documented cases worldwide is Invisalign. Clínica Dental Asensio is an official Invisalign Diamond centre in Valencia, the highest certification level granted by Align Technology, with more than 1,000 cases completed by Dr. José Luis Lanuza and active certification since 2002.
Invisible orthodontics is indicated for most malocclusion cases — crowding, diastemas, crossbite, overbite and open bite — and allows patients to maintain normal dental hygiene throughout treatment because aligners can be removed for eating and brushing. If you want to know whether your case can be treated with invisible orthodontics, the first consultation at our clinic is free and includes diagnosis and a personalised treatment plan.
