TREATMENT OPTIONS

We offer four orthodontic treatment options for patients at our clinic.

Traditional Braces

Traditional braces are the most commonly used orthodontic treatment for teens. They are versatile enough to correct all types of malocclusions and can be customized with your favorite colors to show your personality.

 

Clear Aligners

Clear Invisalign® aligners are an aesthetic alternative to metal and clear braces. The aligners are clear and removable, which gives patients the freedom to smile with confidence and maintain normal brushing and flossing habits. Clear aligners aren’t for everyone, as they require excellent patient compliance to be effective.

Clear Braces

Clear braces work the same way as traditional braces, but are made of a translucent ceramic material instead of metal. Clear braces are a more aesthetic treatment option, but may require more care than their metal counterparts.

 

Appliances

Appliances are sometimes required during treatment. Some types of appliances may include headgear, elastics, palatal expanders, positioners, retainers, separators or spacers, etc.

FOR ADULTS

 

Orthodontic Treatment for Adults

Orthodontic treatment is no longer just for teens. In fact, the Canadian Association of Orthodontists states that one in four orthodontic patients is over the age of 21.

 

Common Reasons Why Adults are Considering Orthodontic Treatment:

  • Abnormal jaw pain or pressure that is caused by crooked teeth

  • Desire for a healthier mouth and a more confident smile

  • A bad bite or malocclusion, causing teeth to fit together incorrectly

  • Teeth are crowded or spaced apart, possibly leading to tooth decay or gum disease

WHY SHOULD YOU CONSIDER ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT?

Straight teeth are healthy teeth — Teeth that are properly aligned are easier to keep clean with flossing and brushing, and may help prevent other health problems.

A beautiful, straight smile builds confidence — Orthodontic treatment can help boost your self-confidence, giving you a better quality of life and the freedom to smile without holding back!

Mouths left untreated can get worse — Not receiving orthodontic treatment when it's needed can create long-term health issues costing you more in the end.
