ORTHODONTICS

Transform Your Smile

Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry dedicated to correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. By utilizing braces or clear aligners like Invisalign, orthodontists can gradually guide teeth into their optimal positions, improving both the appearance and function of your smile. Orthodontic treatment can address a variety of issues, including overbites, underbites, crossbites, crowding, and gaps. Investing in orthodontic treatment can lead to a straighter, healthier, and more confident smile.

At My Dentist on Steeles, we offer a comprehensive range of orthodontic services to meet your unique needs. Whether you prefer traditional braces or the discreet option of Invisalign, our experienced orthodontists can help you achieve your desired results.

Orthodontic services include:

Traditional Braces

Traditional braces are a well-established method for correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. This orthodontic treatment involves attaching metal or ceramic brackets to the front of each tooth, which are then connected by wires to gradually apply pressure and guide teeth into their desired positions. While traditional braces are highly effective, they are also visible, which may be a concern for some patients. However, advancements in orthodontic technology have led to more discreet options, such as clear or tooth-colored brackets, and colored elastics to personalize the look.

Invisalign

Invisalign offers a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. This innovative system utilizes a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually shift teeth into their desired positions. Invisalign is a popular choice for both adults and teenagers who seek a less noticeable way to straighten their teeth. The aligners are virtually invisible, making them ideal for those who are conscious of their appearance. Additionally, Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, and brushing, allowing for easier oral hygiene and a more convenient lifestyle.

Retainers

Retainers are essential for maintaining the results of orthodontic treatment. They prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions. Retainers can be either removable or fixed. Removable retainers, like clear aligners or Hawley retainers, are worn at night or specific times. Fixed retainers are bonded to the back of teeth for continuous support. By wearing retainers as prescribed, patients can enjoy a long-lasting, healthy, and beautiful smile.
