We study the airway, in 3D

A CBCT is an X-ray in three dimensions. With it we plan every movement, protect the roots of the teeth and the temporomandibular joint, and explain it all to you with your own case in front of you.

For the little ones

Dentofacial orthopaedics

Children and teenagers still have growth potential in their jaws, which makes early treatments possible that steer the mouth and face towards correct growth. We provide dentofacial orthopaedics and children's orthodontics in Málaga from an early age, even with baby teeth.

The best dental clinic in Málaga. Dr Manuel Fernández was a true professional throughout my orthodontic treatment. I'm really happy with my new smile; the treatment was comfortable and much faster than at other clinics I had consulted.
Fernando Russo Bo

You can't put a price on feeling you're in good hands. They're all top, but from my experience with my daughter and now with me, I have to highlight Manuel's great professionalism: the best orthodontist in Málaga, without a doubt.
María del Carmen Gómez Ordóñez

Excellent care. Dr Manuel Fernández is the best orthodontist. My teeth turned out perfect, and the almost two-year process was great because he always made sure everything was going well and would turn out perfect. Thank you a thousand times.

FAQ

What people ask us before starting

What is the first appointment like?

We examine you, take photos and an intraoral scan, explain your treatment options calmly and give you your quote, with no obligation.

Clear aligners or braces?

It depends on the case and on your priorities. We work with both and, when it helps, we combine them.

How long does treatment take?

It depends on the complexity; most treatments last between 12 and 24 months. With 3D planning we give you a realistic estimate from the start.

Is there an age limit for orthodontics?

No. We treat children, teenagers and adults; in adults it is more and more common, especially with aligners.

Why do you take a CBCT?

It is an X-ray in three dimensions that shows bone, teeth, airways and the temporomandibular joint. It lets us plan precisely and protect the tooth roots and the TMJ.

How much does orthodontic treatment cost in Málaga?

Every case is different. At the first assessment appointment you receive a personalised, no-obligation quote, with aligners or with braces.

Do you offer Invisalign?

Yes, although we also work with clear aligners that we design and make ourselves, planned on the 3D study of your case. If you are looking for invisible orthodontics in Málaga, we explain the differences at the first appointment.

Where is the clinic?

At Clínica Áncora, Av. Sor Teresa Prat 57, bajo, Málaga (Spain): a dental clinic with every dental specialty, intraoral scanner, laser and CBCT on site.
