Looking for Orthodontic Treatment in Orangeville?
Ever wondered about those misaligned teeth that you or one of your family members might have? Orthodontic is the speciality of dentistry that deals with the alignment of improperly positioned teeth. There are two main objectives; improving the physical look and appearance but more importantly, enhancing the oral health and functionality.
The Orthodontic Treatment
The initial step starts with the dentist carefully examining the structure of the teeth, jaws, and face. He or she would likely use Panoramic x-rays, photographs and bite imprints. The results of the evaluation will determine the orthodontic procedure to proceed with. The dentist may recommend either fixed or removable appliances.
Metal Braces
These braces are made of bands, archwires, and brackets. The brackets are bonded in front of the teeth while bands are fixed around the teeth and function as anchors for the appliance. Metal braces are best for children since they are durable and very affordable.
Ceramic Braces
Clear ceramic braces are tooth-coloured braces so they are almost invisible. They are made of ceramic or porcelain making them very smooth.
Invisalign Braces
Invisalign are customised clear plastic aligners. They are designed using the modern technology of 3-D imaging. To quicken teeth alignment, the patient has to wear one set of aligners for two to three weeks after which they are replaced with another new set of aligners. The Invisalign aligners are very convenient as they allow the patient to eat, drink as well as brush and floss teeth normally. Results are achieved much faster when using Invisalign. These types of appliances are best for both teenagers and adults.

Orthodontic FAQ
Why one might need orthodontic treatment?
Crooked, or improperly aligned teeth are difficult to clean and thus susceptible to cavities, dental caries, and periodontal diseases. Non-aligned teeth also cause stress on the chewing muscles which further leads to shoulder, head, back and neck pain or TMJ/TMD disorders.
What is the right age for Orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontic treatment can be done at any age; however, the younger the patient is, the better. Especially after the first permanent teeth have fully grown. Therefore, the best age to start orthodontic treatment is as early as 12 years. This is because the kids’ teeth and bones are much easier to readjust and tend to have less dental work to deal with. However, orthodontic technology has advanced in recent years, so it is possible to perform orthodontic treatment on patients of any age to achieve a straight, hygienic and healthy smile.
How much does Orthodontic treatment costs?
That depends on the complexity of the case. Orangeville Smiles Dentistry offers a free consultation session to its patients. During this session, the dentist will explain the treatment plan as well as the cost. There are financing options and promotions from time to time.
