Invisible braces in Alicante
Sometimes moving a tooth saves having to cut it down.
Orthodontics before prosthetics
Clear aligners correct tooth position through a series of trays planned digitally. Beyond the obvious cosmetic use, they have a less well known and very valuable application: preparing the mouth before prosthetic work.
Move it rather than grind it
When a tooth sits out of line, the classic answer was to cut it down and fit a crown that disguised the position. Moving it first with orthodontics keeps far more healthy tooth and gives a better-looking result.
And before implants
In mouths that have had a gap for years, the neighbouring teeth have tipped into it. Straightening them first lets the implant go where it belongs, instead of forcing the prosthesis to fit a distorted space.
Orthodontics first lengthens the calendar, but it usually improves the final result and saves more of your own tooth.

At this clinic
Orthodontics as a stage in a bigger plan
At the Luceros clinic orthodontics often appears inside a rehabilitation plan rather than as a treatment on its own. Sorting the position before rebuilding changes the result and reduces how much has to be cut away.
We also use it to recover space before placing an implant in an old gap.
- Orthodontics first to keep more healthy tooth.
- Space recovered before implants go in.
- Planned together with the prosthetic stage.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions about this treatment
01 How many hours a day do I need to wear the aligners?
Around 22 hours a day. They come out to eat and to brush. It is the factor that most determines whether the planned timeline is met.
02 Will people notice them?
They are clear and fit closely to the tooth, so they go unnoticed in normal interaction. There may be a slight speech adjustment in the first few days.
03 Are clear aligners suitable for my case?
For most crowding, spacing and alignment corrections, yes. Severe skeletal malocclusions may need a different approach. That is determined by the initial study.
04 What happens when treatment finishes?
A retainer is fitted, fixed or removable. Without retention teeth tend to drift back: the retention phase is not optional.
