Odonto Magalhaes is a specialist dental clinic located in the Boqueirae neighborhood of Santos, SP, with a clinical history dating back to 1989. The practice operates from Avenida Conselheiro Nebias, 726, and is led by Dr. Paulo Magalhaes (CRO/SP 41233), a dentist with postgraduate specializations in orthodontics and orofacial pain โ disciplines that form the two central pillars of the clinic's clinical offering. A second consulting location is also maintained in the Vila Clementino district of Sao Paulo city, near the Santa Cruz metro station, extending the clinic's reach to patients based in the capital.
The clinic serves private patients only and conducts appointments in Portuguese, Spanish, and English, accommodating an international patient base that reflects Santos's status as Brazil's largest port city and a hub for expatriate professionals.
Orthodontics and Invisalign
Orthodontics is the founding specialty of Odonto Magalhaes. Dr. Paulo Magalhaes completed his postgraduate specialization in Orthodontics and Facial Orthopedics at UNESP Sao Jose dos Campos in 1997, accumulating more than two decades of specialist clinical experience in the field.
The clinic is a certified Invisalign provider and uses the system's ClinCheck 3D treatment planning software to map tooth movement digitally before any aligner is produced. Invisalign is offered for a wide range of malocclusions including crowding, spacing, dental protrusion, narrow arches, crossbite, overbite, and general misalignment. The removable nature of the aligners makes treatment compatible with professional and social life, and the near-invisible appearance appeals strongly to adult patients.
For patients seeking treatment that is entirely undetectable from the outside, Odonto Magalhaes also offers lingual orthodontics using the Incognito system โ a technique in which brackets are bonded to the inner (tongue-facing) surface of the teeth, completely concealing the appliance from external view. Conventional fixed metal braces and removable functional appliances are also available for appropriate cases.
Temporomandibular Dysfunction and Orofacial Pain
The second major specialty of the clinic is the diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular dysfunction (DTM/TMJ disorders) and orofacial pain โ an area in which Dr. Magalhaes holds a Master's degree from Centro Universitario Sao Leopoldo Mandic, Campinas (2011). Conditions treated include jaw joint pain, clicking or locking of the temporomandibular joint, headaches of dental origin, bruxism (teeth grinding), and chronic facial pain.
Treatment approaches include occlusal splints, bite adjustment, physiotherapy referrals, and where appropriate, botulinum toxin injections to reduce masseter muscle hyperactivity associated with bruxism and jaw clenching.
Orofacial Harmonization
Odonto Magalhaes offers a full range of orofacial harmonization (HOF) procedures recognized under CFO Resolution 198/2019 as a dental specialty. These aesthetic and therapeutic procedures include:
- Botulinum toxin (Botox) โ for facial wrinkle reduction, gummy smile correction, and bruxism treatment
- Hyaluronic acid fillers โ lip augmentation, lip contouring, and facial volume restoration
- Bichectomy โ surgical removal of the Bichat fat pad for improved facial contouring
- PDO threads โ minimally invasive skin tightening and lifting
- Microneedling and intradermal therapies โ skin texture improvement and collagen stimulation
- Laser therapy and ozone therapy โ tissue healing and aesthetic treatments
Dental Aesthetics
Beyond orthodontics and harmonization, the clinic provides targeted aesthetic dental treatments:
- Dental veneers โ porcelain or resin laminates applied to the front surface of teeth to correct staining, chips, fractures, or shape irregularities
- Teeth whitening โ in-office laser whitening for fast results, and customized at-home whitening kits using silicone trays fabricated to the patient's dental arch
