Lingual braces in Specialized Aesthetic Dentistry

About the clinic

Lingual braces at Odontología Estética Especializada in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, attach brackets to the inner surfaces of teeth. The clinic’s orthodontic team has over 25 years of experience, and Dr. Annabella Lainville specializes in lingual and invisible orthodontics.

Brackets hidden behind the teeth

Lingual braces are fixed in place on the tongue-facing side of the teeth. This keeps the brackets out of view when smiling. The clinic also offers Invisalign clear aligners as another less visible option.

Orthodontists and diagnostics

Dr. Annabella Lainville is a member of the Dominican Society of Orthodontics, American Association of Orthodontists, and World Federation of Orthodontists. She also teaches postgraduate students at Iberoamerican University.

Dr. Ana P. Fondeur teaches in the university’s orthodontics postgraduate program. She belongs to the American Association of Orthodontists, World Federation of Orthodontists, and Dominican Society of Orthodontics.

Planning may use an iTero digital scan, panoramic X-ray, dental CT, or digital X-rays. The iTero scanner captures a digital image of the teeth without conventional impressions.

Care at the clinic

Founded in 2001, the clinic has orthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, and maxillofacial surgery departments in one building. It also has a CAD-CAM laboratory and laser dentistry. Sedation dentistry is available for patients who need extra comfort.

To learn whether lingual braces may suit your needs, you can request a consultation through Bookimed.

Specialized Aesthetic Dentistry: more details about the clinic

Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo
Odontología Estética Especializada is a multi-specialty dental clinic in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. It opened in 2001 and has five departments in a single building. The clinic combines oral health restoration with aesthetic treatments for the face and teeth.

Medical Team and Expertise

The medical team includes five specialist doctors. Some hold PhD and Master's degrees in dentistry and oral medicine. Several teach as professors at institutions like the Iberoamerican University (UNIBE).

Doctors are active members of several international professional organizations:

  • American Association of Orthodontics (AAO)
  • World Federation of Orthodontics
  • International Association of Pediatric Dentistry (IAPD)
  • Latin American Association of Orthodontists
  • Dominican Society of Orthodontics (SDO)

Dental Specialties and Methods

The clinic covers several dental fields, including orthodontics, endodontics, periodontics, and maxillofacial surgery. The team treats oral diseases too. Speech and myofunctional therapy are available as well.

Orthodontics and Aesthetics

Specialists straighten teeth with several modern techniques. Dr. Annabella Lainville and Dr. Ana P. Fondeur bring over 25 years of experience to this department. They offer Invisalign clear aligners and invisible lingual braces. Both methods straighten teeth without visible metal brackets.

Rehabilitative and Pediatric Care

Dr. Oscar Irizarry leads the prosthetics and rehabilitation department. His focus is dental implants and aesthetic restorations. Dr. Jessica Fernández treats children as the clinic's pediatric dentist. Sedation dentistry is available for patients who need extra comfort during procedures.

Facial Aesthetic Medicine

Dental work here pairs with facial aesthetic treatments. These help balance the look of the smile and face. Available services include:

  • Botulinum toxin applications
  • Hyaluronic acid fillers
  • Facial modelers and enzymes

These options are part of the clinic's wellness approach.

Diagnostic Technologies

Digital imaging supports precise treatment planning. Surgeons and dentists use these tools to map the mouth and jaw before surgery. Available diagnostic equipment includes:

  • Dental Computed Tomography (CT)
  • Mandibular CT scans
  • Panoramic X-ray (Orthopantomogram)

Patients can book diagnostic consultations with general dentists or maxillofacial surgeons. Scan results guide implant and orthodontic work, so treatment is safer.

International Patient Services

The clinic treats patients from around the world as part of the region's dental tourism sector. International visitors can get a smile makeover while visiting the Caribbean.

The facility offers the CLUB DE SALUD concept. It's a network of benefits for patients and their families in dental and facial aesthetics.
