Orthodontics (Braces For Adults And Children)
Orthodontic treatments (or braces) improve your smile by straightening teeth and helping jaw muscles function properly. Crooked teeth, overcrowding, or jaw misalignment can affect the way your teeth look and work. It can also make teeth cleaning more difficult. Most "bad bites" are inherited, but they can also be caused by accidents, early or late loss of baby teeth, or thumb-sucking.
Orthodontic treatment plans are custom created for each patient. The plan will include clinical examinations, impressions of your teeth, and photos and x-rays of your mouth and head. After these preliminary visits, brackets will be bonded to the front of your teeth and gently pulled together into the right position. Your braces will need to be adjusted periodically to ensure that your teeth are moving correctly and efficiently. We also provide Invisalign, a no-braces solution to orthodontics.
Both children and adults can benefit from orthodontics. The Canadian Dental Association recommends that every child receive an orthodontic evaluation by age six, since treatment is sometimes more effective before a child receives all their permanent teeth. Treatment for adults also takes longer because their facial bones are no longer growing. Please call or visit our office for more information or to schedule a orthodontic consultation.
