What, Exactly, is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that is involved in correcting teeth position along with a number of other factors such as mouth shape or jawbone disorders.
Orthodontists are experienced in this type of dentistry and it is available to help both children and adults.
Some of the dental problems that can be treated with orthodontics include:
Our Happy Patient
Orthodontics for All Patients
Teaching children the benefits of oral care and health will benefit them for their entire lives. If your child has problems such as a crooked bite or misaligned teeth, we can begin orthodontic treatment as young as 8 or 9 years old.
Regular dental exams beginning as young as 2 years old will allow our dentists to monitor your child’s oral health and address problems when they are small or even prevent dental problems. Whether your child needs braces or a palatal expander, treating them young is the best practice as the bones are still soft and easier to manipulate into their proper place, which provides the best long-term results.
While adult patients sometimes prefer Invisalign for the discretionary treatment, orthodontics has come a long way, offering adults who are not candidates for Invisalign comparable treatments. Ceramic braces can be created to match the colour of your teeth so they blend in with your smile, while some patients prefer the more discreet lingual braces, which hide behind the teeth. A dental exam along with a conversation during the evaluation will help the dentist determine the best solution for your needs.
