Orthodontics and Clear Aligners
in Bogotá, Colombia.
From $2,800.
Clear aligners and traditional braces supervised by Dr. Luis González orthodontist and oral rehabilitation specialist with 40 years of practice. Xerenova uses Graphy, a South Korean aligner system designed for accuracy and comfort in complex cases.
ABOUT GRAPHY ALIGNERS
Not Invisalign.
A South Korean system designed
for precision in complex cases.
Graphy is a clear aligner system developed in South Korea, designed for orthodontists who handle complex cases where standard aligners fail. The material is stiffer and more dimensionally stable than conventional aligner plastics it holds its shape under bite pressure longer, which means more accurate tooth movement per tray.
Most patients who come to Xerenova for aligners have already been told by a US orthodontist that their case is too complex for Invisalign, or they've had a previous aligner treatment that didn't finish correctly. Graphy was built specifically for cases like these.
Dr. González has been using Graphy since its introduction in Colombia. He is one of the few orthodontists in Bogotá certified to use the system in complex adult cases. Every Graphy treatment at Xerenova is planned and supervised by him from the first scan to the final retainer.
Why Graphy instead of Invisalign
Material
Graphy uses a proprietary resin that's stiffer and more dimensionally stable than conventional aligner plastics. It holds its shape longer under bite pressure — more accurate tooth movement per tray.
Complex cases
Designed for orthodontists handling cases where standard aligners don't deliver enough force or precision. Ideal for adult patients with significant crowding, spacing, or bite correction needs.
Digital precision
Every case is digitally planned with a 3D simulation before the first tray is made. You see the projected movement sequence before treatment begins.
Cost
A full Graphy treatment in Bogotá costs a fraction of what Invisalign costs in the US — without compromising the quality of the material or the supervision of the specialist.
WHICH OPTION IS RIGHT FOR YOU
Clear aligners or traditional braces.
How to choose.
Both options are available at Xerenova. The right one depends on the complexity of your case, your lifestyle, and your timeline. Dr. González makes this recommendation after reviewing your records.
Graphy Clear Aligners
from $2,800
Removable trays changed every 1 to 2 weeks. Nearly invisible, no food restrictions, easier hygiene. Requires discipline — they need to be worn 20 to 22 hours per day. Best for mild to complex adult cases when the patient can commit to the protocol.
Traditional Braces
from $1,800
Fixed brackets bonded to the teeth. More effective for certain types of tooth movement that aligners can't achieve. No compliance requirement — they work whether you want them to or not. Best for severe cases or patients who prefer a fixed appliance.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Three situations where orthodontics
in Bogotá makes sense.
Most patients who come to Xerenova for orthodontics are adults not teenagers. These are the most common situations.
Adults who never had braces
Crowded teeth, spacing, or a bite that was never corrected. Adult orthodontics in the US is expensive and slow. In Bogotá, the same treatment costs a fraction of the price and is supervised by a specialist with 40 years of orthodontic practice.
Failed previous aligner treatment
Patients who finished Invisalign or another aligner system and didn't get the result they expected. Graphy's precision in complex cases makes it a strong option for finishing treatments that other aligners couldn't complete.
Orthodontics before a larger restoration
Some full mouth rehabilitation cases require pre-orthodontic treatment to position the teeth correctly before implants or crowns are placed. Dr. González plans the orthodontic and restorative phases as a single coordinated sequence.
THE PROCESS
How orthodontics works at Xerenova.
Supervised remotely between visits.
Orthodontic treatment takes time typically 12 to 24 months. Most of that time happens at home. Xerenova structures the process so your trips to Bogotá are efficient and your progress is monitored remotely between them.
Remote evaluation
You send your photos, X-rays, and a brief description of your concerns. Dr. González evaluates your case and responds within 24 hours with a treatment recommendation, timeline, and fixed pricing.
Before you book a flight.
First appointment
First trip to Bogotá. Full orthodontic examination, intraoral scan for the 3D digital plan, and X-rays. For Graphy cases, the digital simulation is reviewed with you and approved before the trays are ordered from Korea.
Trip 1: 3 to 5 days in Bogotá.
Treatment at home
You receive your first set of trays and begin treatment at home. Dr. González monitors progress via photo check-ins every 4 to 6 weeks. Follow-up trays are shipped to your home address as the treatment advances.
Monthly check-ins via WhatsApp.

COMMON QUESTIONS
What patients ask before
starting orthodontics in Bogotá.
Every 4 to 6 weeks, you send Dr. González a set of intraoral photos via WhatsApp using the same angles used in your initial appointment. He reviews them and confirms whether you can advance to the next tray or whether an adjustment is needed. If progress is on track, your next set of trays is shipped directly to your home address. If something needs in-person attention, a visit to Bogotá is scheduled. Most patients make 2 to 4 in-person visits over the full treatment.
Yes, and it's one of the most common situations Dr. González sees. Patients who completed Invisalign but didn't achieve the result they expected are often good candidates for Graphy. The evaluation starts from your current dental situation. Dr. González will tell you honestly whether Graphy can finish what Invisalign started.
Most patients make 2 to 4 in-person visits to Bogotá over the full treatment period of 12 to 24 months. The first visit is for the evaluation, scan, and treatment planning. Subsequent visits are for in-person check-ups every 4 to 6 months. The final visit is for retainers and completion documentation. Most of the treatment happens remotely, at home, with monthly photo check-ins via WhatsApp.
Yes, and for some patients it's clinically necessary. When orthodontics is part of a larger rehabilitation plan — moving teeth to create space for implants, or correcting a bite before placing crowns — Dr. González plans both phases as a coordinated sequence. The orthodontic phase is always completed before restorative work begins so the final positions are stable before any permanent restoration is placed.
Yes. Upper and lower retainers are included in every Xerenova orthodontic treatment plan. They are fabricated at the final appointment in Bogotá and delivered before you travel home. There are no end-of-treatment surprises — what's in your quote covers the full treatment from first tray to final retainer.
GET STARTED
What Dr. González needs
to evaluate your orthodontic case.
Orthodontic evaluation requires less clinical material than implant cases. The most important thing is a clear set of photos showing your current tooth position and bite.
Intraoral and extraoral photos
Front face photo (natural smile), front teeth photo, left and right side views, and biting position. You can take these yourself with a phone using a small mirror for the side views.
Panoramic X-ray
A full radiograph of upper and lower teeth. Required. Your local dentist can take one for around $50 if you don't have a recent one.
Cephalometric X-ray (if available)
A lateral skull X-ray used for detailed orthodontic planning. If you have one from a previous evaluation, send it. If not, it can be taken at Roxtro in Bogotá on your first appointment.
Description of your concerns (optional)
What bothers you about your teeth — crowding, gaps, bite, asymmetry. The more specific you are, the more targeted Dr. González's evaluation can be.
