Orthodontics in Palma de Mallorca

At Clínicas Udemax we offer orthodontics in Palma de Mallorca for children, teenagers and adults at three clinics: Udemax Miramar, Emardental and Arcdental, which specialises in children. Our orthodontic specialists work with Invisalign, metal, self-ligating and sapphire braces, and lingual orthodontics, so we can choose the technique that best suits your mouth and your daily life.

Straightening your teeth is not just about appearance. A correct bite makes chewing easier, spreads forces more evenly across the teeth, reduces wear and can relieve strain on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). And it can be corrected at any age: what changes is the technique and, in some cases, the length of treatment. Your first visit is free, you can finance your treatment and we work with insurance companies.

We have highly qualified orthodontists who use the latest technology and innovative techniques to offer personalised treatment. At our clinic, a thorough diagnosis can include X-rays, photographs and study models, so that every step is tailored to each patient, with the experience and support of a team focused on your wellbeing. From self-ligating braces to Invisalign clear aligners, we focus on improving both the appearance and the function of your teeth. Our commitment is to provide comprehensive care that not only straightens your teeth but also improves your bite, helps balance your smile and can relieve joint discomfort, for a more harmonious smile and better oral health.

Orthodontics at Clínicas Udemax is led by Dr Cristina Martínez-Almoyna Rifá and Dr Ana Ledesma Pavón. When needed, they work alongside periodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery and paediatric dentistry.

No single appliance is best for every case. The choice depends on the problem to be corrected, your age, how discreet you want treatment to be and the commitment you can make.

We also offer lingual orthodontics, with the braces on the inner surface of the teeth, so they can't be seen when you smile. When there is a significant problem with the jawbones, orthodontics is combined with orthognathic surgery.

In children, orthodontics takes advantage of growth. Between the ages of 6 and 12, the development of the jaws can still be guided with interceptive orthodontics, which can avoid or simplify longer treatment later on. From the age of 12, once the permanent teeth are through, corrective orthodontics straightens them.

That is why we recommend a first orthodontic check-up at around age 7, even if your child has no visible problems. At Arcdental, our children's clinic, dental development is monitored together with paediatric dentistry.

It is worth considering if your teeth are crowded or gapped, if your bite does not feel right, if your upper teeth overlap your lower teeth too much (or the other way round), if your teeth are wearing down or if you have jaw discomfort. It is also worth considering before some treatments, such as implants or veneers, because aligning the teeth first improves the result.

A straight smile affects your confidence when talking and smiling, but the goal is also functional: a mouth that works well and stays healthy for years. When treatment ends, every case includes a retention phase, with a fixed or removable retainer, so your teeth do not move back.

We provide orthodontics at Udemax Miramar, in the outpatient department of Juaneda Miramar Hospital; at Emardental, in the Bons Aires neighbourhood; and at Arcdental, our children's dental clinic.
