How Do Orthodontics Work?
Whether it's for children, teens, or adults, the primary focus of orthodontic treatment is correcting the alignment of the teeth and jaw to help improve oral health and function.
The goal is achieved using braces or clear aligners that gently apply pressure to the teeth, gradually shifting them into their ideal position over several months.
When teeth are properly aligned, they fit together more naturally, putting less strain on the jaw and making daily cleaning easier and more effective.
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces, made of either metal or ceramic, have been used for decades to straighten teeth.
Thanks to recent advances in orthodontics, today's braces are now more discreet, more comfortable and easier to maintain, making treatment better suited to patients’ lifestyles.
How Do Orthodontic Braces Straighten Teeth?
Braces apply continuous, controlled pressure to the teeth for a set period of time, slowly moving them into their ideal position.
This gradual movement also stimulates the restructuring of the jawbone, which changes shape to accommodate the new positions of the teeth.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
With Invisalign clear aligners, your teeth gradually move into place using a series of custom-made, clear plastic trays.
One feature of Invisalign clear aligners is that they are removable, allowing you to take them out during meals or when you'd rather not draw attention to your orthodontic treatment.
Just like custom whitening trays, Invisalign aligners are made to fit closely over your teeth and can be worn throughout the day with ease.
