Why Straight Teeth Matter?

Straight teeth are more than just aesthetically pleasing. They contribute to better oral health, improved bite function, and increased self-confidence. Misaligned teeth can be difficult to clean, leading to a higher risk of cavities and gum disease. They can also cause jaw pain, headaches, and even speech difficulties.
With orthodontic treatment in Scarborough, you can address these issues and enjoy the benefits of a healthy, beautiful smile.

Traditional Braces

Traditional braces have been a trusted and effective method for straightening teeth for generations. They consist of metal brackets and wires that gently guide your teeth into their proper positions over time. Today’s braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever before, and you can even add a touch of personality with colored bands!

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign offers a virtually invisible alternative to traditional braces. These clear, removable aligners gradually straighten your teeth without the need for metal brackets and wires. Invisalign is a popular choice for adults and teens who want a more discreet orthodontic treatment.

The cost of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case and the type of treatment you choose. We offer complimentary consultations to discuss your options and provide you with a personalized treatment plan and cost estimate.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, we understand that orthodontic treatment is an investment. We offer flexible payment plans to make it more affordable for our patients. We also accept most dental insurance plans and can help you maximize your benefits.

What should I expect during my first orthodontic consultation?

During your initial consultation, we’ll conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and bite, take X-rays, and discuss your concerns and goals. We’ll then explain your treatment options and help you choose the best one for you.

How often will I need to visit the orthodontist during treatment?

For traditional braces, you’ll typically need to visit us every 4-6 weeks for adjustments. For Invisalign, appointments are usually every 6-8 weeks.

What can I eat while wearing braces or Invisalign?

With braces, you’ll need to avoid certain foods that can damage the brackets or wires, such as sticky candy, popcorn, and hard nuts. With Invisalign, you can remove your aligners to eat, so there are no food restrictions. However, it’s still important to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid sugary drinks and snacks.
