Metal and Aesthetic Braces

Braces in Lima are a fixed orthodontic treatment that corrects crooked, crowded or gapped teeth and bite problems in children, teens and adults. At The Dental Clinic we offer metal braces, ceramic braces and zirconia braces, as well as invisible orthodontics with clear aligners, at our Miraflores and San Isidro locations. We design a personalized plan for every patient and, when the case calls for it, coordinate it with other treatments such as wisdom tooth extraction.

What are braces and fixed orthodontics?

Orthodontics is the dental specialty that prevents and corrects misaligned teeth and jaws. Braces are small brackets bonded to the teeth that, together with an archwire, apply gentle, controlled forces to align them. They can correct crowding, gaps between teeth, overbites, crossbites and other bite problems.

What types of braces do we offer?

  • Metal braces: the classic, durable and versatile option for all types of cases.
  • Ceramic braces: tooth-colored and more discreet than metal braces.
  • Zirconia braces: aesthetic and low-visibility, for those looking for a more discreet fixed orthodontic option.
  • Complex cases: combined with auxiliary appliances to correct severe misalignment, malocclusion or jaw discrepancies.

If you prefer a removable option, we also offer invisible orthodontics with clear aligners.

Braces or invisible aligners?

Braces are fixed and allow precise control over the movement of each tooth, which is why they are recommended in many cases, including complex ones. Aligners are removable and nearly invisible, but they must be worn most of the day. During your evaluation we explain which option is right for your case.

When are braces recommended?

  • Crooked, crowded or visibly gapped teeth.
  • Difficulty biting properly or bite problems.
  • Jaw pain, joint clicking or uneven tooth wear.
  • When you want to improve the appearance of your smile.
  • For adults too: age does not prevent you from straightening your teeth if your oral health allows it.

How long does treatment with braces take?

It depends on the complexity of the case. As a reference, many treatments last between 12 and 24 months, with regular check-ups. During your evaluation we give you an estimate for your case.

How much do braces cost in Lima?

I was treated by Dr. Demartini a while ago, she did an excellent job and I still go to my check-ups with her. That's why I later brought my mom too, for a great job she needed so she could be healthy and happy. I highly recommend her, not only for the quality of the professionals, the doctor and her team, but also for the wonderful people I found there ❤️

Very grateful to Dental Clinic, excellent service. Dr. Oscar Rojas is a master at surgery and the assisting staff is first-class, and Dr. Lilian Demartini was very kind giving the final instructions! Overall, from the reception desk until you leave, everything is excellent! Blessings!

Michael/ Australia

While on vacation in Peru from Australia in December, I went to see the team at The Dental Clinic to get crowns (for my upper teeth), whitening and a cleaning. I was welcomed by Gianluca, who was extremely kind and attentive, and then I met Lilian and the team to do the work on my teeth. The clinic was in an excellent location and was top quality. The work Lilian did on my teeth, preparing them for the crowns, making them and then placing them, was fantastic. The process was painless, easy and very professional. Thank you so much for making my teeth look amazing. I recommend this clinic without hesitation. Thank you so much for everything, and I'm looking forward to coming back to get my lower crowns done. :)
