Orthodontics and clear aligners in Agadir: for adults and teenagers

What does orthodontics treat?

Orthodontics corrects the position of the teeth and the relationship between the jaws: crowding, gaps, protruding or rotated teeth, open bite, deep bite or a mismatch between the arches. Beyond appearance, well-aligned teeth are easier to clean, protect the gums, spread chewing forces more evenly and wear less.

Treatment is common in teenagers, whose growth makes tooth movement easier, and increasingly in adults, who now make up a large share of patients thanks to clear aligners.

How do clear aligners work?

Aligners are transparent trays made to measure from a digital or physical impression of your teeth. Each tray is worn for about two weeks and moves the teeth slightly; the full series gradually brings them to the planned final position.

They can be removed for eating and brushing, are nearly invisible and comfortable. In return, their effectiveness depends entirely on wearing them for the large majority of the day and night, removing them only for meals and hygiene.

Aligners or braces: which is right for you?

Aligners suit many mild to moderate cases: crowding, gaps, slight rotations, relapse after an earlier treatment. Fixed braces (metal or ceramic) remain the best option for large movements, complex malpositions, or when rigorous aligner wear cannot be guaranteed.

The decision is made after a full orthodontic assessment: clinical examination, X-rays, photos and a study of the bite. Some treatments combine both approaches.

The stages of orthodontic treatment

Orthodontic treatment happens in several stages, and the overall duration depends on the correction required:

• Orthodontic assessment: examination, X-rays, impressions or scan, photos, then a treatment plan and quote.
• Preparation if needed: cleaning, treatment of cavities, sometimes an extraction or small attachments bonded to the teeth for aligners.
• Active phase: wearing successive aligners or regular adjustment of braces, with check-ups at the clinic.
• Retention: a wire bonded behind the teeth or a night retainer to stop the teeth moving back.

Adult orthodontics in Agadir

There is no age limit for straightening teeth as long as the teeth and gums are healthy. In adults, treatment is often preceded by a gum assessment and a cleaning, and existing crowns, implants or missing teeth are built into the plan. Clear aligners are especially popular with adults because they are discreet at work and in social life.

Orthodontics for international patients

Aligner treatment can be started during a stay in Agadir: the assessment, preparation and the first trays are done here, and the following trays are worn at home with remote check-ins on WhatsApp and reviews on your next visits. Fixed braces need regular adjustments at the clinic and are less suited to patients who live abroad.

How much does orthodontic treatment cost in Agadir?

The cost depends on the complexity of the case, the technique chosen (aligners or fixed braces), the number of trays and the length of follow-up. A detailed quote is provided after the assessment, before any commitment.
