Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry that focuses on correcting teeth by moving them and aligning your bite creating a beautiful and healthy smile. We use various forms of braces and other dental appliances to align the teeth. The most common ones are: metal braces, clear braces, lingual arch, tongue trap, nance button and a lip bumper. We also work with general dentists and other dental specialists to coordinate treatments and create fully corrected bites and smiles.
Metal braces
Metal braces are the most conventional braces and have shown to be extremely effective.Orthodontists have the control needed to move teeth using small adjustments. While they are more visible than other braces, today’s metal braces are much smaller, comfortable and popular among patients who like to choose multi-coloured elastics to go around the braces.
Clear Braces
Clear braces are similar to the metal braces except that the brackets are translucent and blend in with the teeth making them less noticeable. These braces require the patients to be more careful with their oral hygiene to prevent staining.
