Braces at GO Dental in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, treat bite problems and jaw misalignment. Orthodontists Dr. Arlette Florencio and Dr. Angélica Robayo provide orthodontic care at this Healthgrades-accredited clinic.
Braces and aligner options
Patients can choose metal brackets or ceramic brackets. Ceramic brackets may suit people with metal allergies or cosmetic preferences. GO Dental also offers Invisalign, a system of removable, custom-made clear aligners.
Invisalign aligners are changed every two weeks. They can be removed for eating and cleaning teeth. General alignment treatment often takes 12–24 months, while Invisalign treatment typically takes 9–15 months.
Orthodontic care is available at any age. An early assessment around age 7 can help identify developing bite problems.
Planning and follow-up
Treatment may include study, alignment, bite correction, closing gaps, and finishing. Appliance removal comes before the retention phase.
Planning can use digital panoramic images from a Planmeca Promax Scara 2 and digital models made with a CEREC Omnicam. Monthly appointments are recommended for adjustments.
After treatment, patients may use fixed hygienic retainers or removable acrylic-and-metal retainers. Long-term follow-up helps monitor the teeth after braces or aligners are removed.
Dr. Arlette Florencio leads the clinic’s orthodontic and Invisalign services. Dr. Angélica Robayo specializes in orthodontics and occlusion, or how the teeth meet when biting.
