Orthodontist Vaughan

 

Choosing the right orthodontist can be tough especially if you want to make sure your family gets the best dental care possible. We know getting braces is a big investment in your oral health and overall wellness at Dentistry on the Pines. Our experienced staff uses the latest technology and customized treatment to give patients of all ages amazing results.

Orthodontic treatment does more than just make smiles look good. When your teeth are in the right place it makes it easier to clean your mouth, chew and reduces your chance of dental problems later in life. Plaque and bacteria can build up in hard to reach areas when teeth are not in the right place which can cause tooth decay and gum disease. Bite problems can also make some teeth wear out too fast, create jaw pain and make it hard to talk clearly.

Our full range of orthodontic services can help with many dental problems such as crowded teeth, spacing disorders, overbites, underbites, crossbites and open bites. We give each patient a full evaluation to determine the best way to treat them based on their specific needs. When we make treatment plans that fit each person’s goals and expectations we take into account age, lifestyle and personal preferences.

Many patients still choose traditional metal braces because they work and are popular. Modern braces are smaller and more comfortable than older ones. This makes them more appealing to both kids and adults. The brackets are precisely placed on each tooth and connected by wires that gently and gradually move the teeth into place. Regular adjustments ensure progress is stable during the treatment time.

Clear ceramic braces are a less noticeable option that works just as well as regular metal braces. These brackets are the same colour as your teeth so they blend in with your smile and are less visible while you’re in treatment. Many adults like this option because they can have orthodontic treatment without worrying about how they look at work or in public.

Invisible aligners are a great option for those who want the most private treatment. These glass trays are custom made for you and move your teeth into place slowly without the need for braces you can see. Aligners can be removed so patients can eat their favourite foods and continue with their regular oral hygiene habits during treatment. Early orthodontic treatment can prevent worse problems from happening. We recommend kids have their first orthodontic checkup by the time they are 7 when their permanent teeth start to come in. This time lets us find any problems and determine if early treatment would help. Sometimes dealing with problems as a youngster can make it less likely you’ll need more treatment later.

As more people realize how great it is to have straight teeth, adult orthodontic treatment is becoming more common. Age is not a problem for orthodontic treatment and many people in their 30’s, 40’s and even older finish treatment. Modern treatments work well and fit into the busy lives of adults.

The length of orthodontic treatment depends on how complex each case is. Most patients finish their treatment in 18-30 months but some cases may take longer or shorter. Regular appointments let us monitor progress and make any adjustments needed to get the best results.

We stay in touch with our patients and their family throughout the treatment process. We go over each stage of the process and give you clear instructions on how to take care of yourself at home. During orthodontic treatment it’s even more important to take care of your teeth. We can show you how to do it right.

We also offer a full range of dental services such as Root Canal treatment for sick teeth and Dental Implants for missing teeth. This one stop shop approach means all of Vaughan’s patients can get all their dental care in one place.

We think everyone should have a healthy and beautiful smile. To book your orthodontic consultation and take the first step towards getting the smile you’ve always wanted call our office today.
