nos como los que aportan los sistemas
más tradicionales, los brackets.
Su principal ventaja es que es totalmente
transparente y removible.
Y el último paso del proceso es el
blanqueamiento. Para conseguirlo
existen las carillas dentales, tanto
para blanquear como para restaurar
piezas dañadas; y el blanqueamiento,
con el cual «se puede conseguir
una diferencia de hasta seis tonos
consiguiendo un color natural»,
afirma Nufrio.
La duración total para conseguir
una sonrisa perfecta depende de
cada paciente y de los tratamientos
que se apliquen, aunque gracias a la
tecnología el tiempo se ha reducido
considerablemente. / The smile
is one of the main ingredients to a
good first impression. It’s often the
first thing people see and is one of
the features that most catches other
people’s attention. As a result, and
due to increasing interest that patients
have taken in caring for their
teeth, dental treatments have improved
and innovations have been
introduced to help people get a perfect
smile.
There are a host of possibilities avail-

able, from software tools to redesigning
the mouth to invisible
orthodontics. These are new treatments
which, according to Marisa
Nufrio, founder and director of the
Smylife Clinic, «are changing the
way dentistry is understood.»
This is the case of an innovative technique
that makes it possible to «design
every last detail of [a patient’s]
new smile and see the end result of
the treatment before it even starts,»
says Nufrio. A facial analysis of the
patient is used to plan all the treatments
needed to achieve that desired
result, even correcting the size
or colour of the teeth. This analysis
concludes with «a real simulation
of what the patient’s new smile will
look like,» says Nufrio, a new technique
which the Smylife clinic has
been the first to introduce in Spain.
Invisible orthodontics is another
of the true revolutions in dentistry,
with results as good as those provided
by more traditional systems,
like braces. The main advantage of
this new system is that it is completely
transparent and removable.
And the last step of the process is
teeth whitening. Teeth are treated
with dental veneers, both for bleaching
and restoring damaged teeth,
and whitening, with which «you can
achieve a difference of up to six shades
for a natural colour,» says Nufrio.
The time it takes to get a perfect
smile depends on each patient and
the treatments used, although new
technology has reduced this time
considerably.
Tras un tratamiento dental, especialmente si lleva
blanqueamiento, hay que prestar atención, sobre
todo, al tabaco, a las bebidas que contienen teína o
cafeína y a determinadas frutas como las fresas y las cerezas.
Aunque no es menos importante recordar que mantener
la correcta higiene bucal y acudir al dentista regularmente
son esenciales para mantener nuestra sonrisa ideal. / Avoid
tobacco, beverages containing theine or caffeine, and certain
fruits like strawberries and cherries. No less important to
keeping your best smile is remembering to maintain proper oral
hygiene and to visit the dentist regularly.
