Benefits of Orthodontic Care

The most noticeable benefit of straightening teeth is how it improves the appearance of your smile. Yet this is far from the only reason to consider braces. A straighter smile ensures that the daily pressures of biting and chewing are evenly distributed across the bite, reducing uneven wear and tear. It also makes brushing and flossing easier, reducing your risk of dental issues like cavities and gum disease. In cases of children with severe misalignment, orthodontic treatment might reduce difficulties with speech. Add to that the confidence boost you receive from a beautiful smile, and it's easy to see the many gains that braces could provide.

Phase I & II Treatments

Phase I and Phase II are orthodontic treatment approaches used at different times during the development of young smiles. Phase I treatments typically begin between ages six and nine and focus on guiding the proper growth and development of your child's teeth. This early intervention is designed to help prevent future complications and may involve various dental appliances such as:

• Specialized retainers
• Headgear
• Limited phases of braces
• Space maintainers
• Functional appliances
• Expansion appliances

Phase I isn't necessary for every case, and our dentist may choose instead to observe the development of your child's bite and only intervene if needed. The benefit of this treatment is that successfully guiding the bite development could mean your child needs less time wearing braces in Phase II or potentially avoid it altogether.

Phase II treatment usually starts around ages eleven to twelve, once all of your child's adult teeth have emerged. Phase II concentrates on refining alignment and spacing with traditional braces or other suitable orthodontic appliances. Depending on the severity of your child's misalignment issues, this phase of treatment can last up to three years. Our orthodontist collaborates closely with you and your child throughout Phases I and II, providing a carefully tailored approach to their orthodontic needs.

Braces for Adults

We understand the importance of achieving a straighter smile as an adult, but we also know it can be challenging to find the time to begin your orthodontic journey. That's why our practice offers braces treatments tailored to your needs and schedule. We know you lead a busy life, and we always do our best to accommodate you so you can get the vital orthodontic care you need. We're always happy to talk to you about Invisalign® braces, which are a viable treatment option for many adults, especially those seeking minor realignments after previous orthodontic treatments.

How To Tell If You Need Orthodontic Treatment

While some misalignment issues, like crooked teeth, may be obvious, some more subtle alignment problems can cause long-term complications. That's why consulting with our orthodontist is crucial in determining whether you could benefit from braces. We can often minimize or alleviate several of these symptoms with proper orthodontic care. Reach out to our dentist if you notice issues such as:

• Difficulty or tenderness when chewing
• Mouth breathing
• Underbite or overbite
• Jaws that shift, make sounds, protrude, or are recessed
• Teeth that have become worn due to an uneven bite

Our Braces Process

When you visit our office for a consultation, our orthodontist will thoroughly examine your alignment needs. If we determine braces are the right choice for treating your misalignments, we'll begin by employing precise imaging technology to create a custom plan for straightening your smile. We'll schedule regular checkups throughout your orthodontic journey to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments. In addition to traditional braces, we also offer Invisalign treatment as an alternative option for eligible patients seeking a discreet orthodontic solution.

Why You Need Retainers After Braces in Scarborough

Retainers play a crucial role in maintaining the results of your orthodontic treatment. After your braces are removed, your teeth need time to stabilize in their new positions. Wearing retainers helps prevent relapses so your smile remains straight for years to come. Our orthodontic team will provide detailed instructions on wearing and caring for your retainers to maximize their effectiveness and preserve your beautiful new smile.
