✨ Clear Aligners & Invisible Orthodontics
Clear aligners offer near-invisibility, zero dietary restrictions, easier brushing and flossing, and significant comfort without poky wires or emergency visits. Thanks to our 3D intraoral scanner, you can visualize your simulated final outcome before starting.
Yes, modern biomechanics combined with skeletal anchorage (micro-screws) allow Dr Furió to successfully treat severe crowding, open bites, and crossbites with clear aligners, avoiding tooth extractions whenever clinically feasible.
🧒 Pediatric Orthodontics & Orthognathic Surgery
The recommended age for a first orthodontic check-up is 6 to 7 years old. Early assessment allows Dr Furió to detect subtle skeletal narrowness or jaw mismatches early, guiding bone growth gently and preventing invasive surgeries later in adulthood.
It is indicated for adult patients whose skeletal discrepancies between the upper and lower jaws cannot be aligned with braces alone. Dr Furió coordinates pre- and post-surgical orthodontic alignment in close collaboration with leading maxillofacial surgeons in Barcelona.
