Orthodontics

A beautiful, healthy smile is one of the most important aspects of overall well-being, and at Paris Dental Centre, we are committed to helping you achieve just that through expert orthodontic care. Our family-oriented practice, established in 1979, focuses on providing personalized and compassionate care that makes every patient feel comfortable and confident throughout their orthodontic journey.

‍

Whether you are seeking braces for yourself or your child, orthodontic treatment can have a significant impact on your smile, your dental health, and even your self-esteem. We understand that every patient is unique, and we tailor our orthodontic treatments to meet your individual needs, ensuring that your experience is as seamless and comfortable as possible.

Why is Orthodontic Treatment Important?

Orthodontics is not just about improving the appearance of your smile—it’s also about improving the health and function of your teeth and jaws. Misaligned teeth or bite problems, such as overbites, underbites, or crossbites, can lead to a range of issues, including difficulty chewing, jaw pain, and even tooth wear. Orthodontic treatment can correct these issues and prevent further dental problems in the future.

‍

Beyond functional improvements, orthodontics can also boost your confidence. A straighter smile can have a positive effect on your self-esteem and how you interact with others. At Paris Dental Centre, we’re passionate about giving our patients the smile they’ve always dreamed of while ensuring their oral health remains in top condition.

Types of Orthodontic Treatments

At Paris Dental Centre, we offer a variety of orthodontic treatments designed to suit different needs and preferences. Whether you're a teen or an adult, we have options that will work for you.

‍

• Traditional Metal Braces: Traditional metal braces are one of the most common orthodontic treatments. Made of high-grade stainless steel, these braces are effective in treating a wide range of alignment issues. Metal braces consist of brackets attached to the teeth, connected by wires, and are adjusted periodically to gradually shift the teeth into their desired position. Modern advancements have made metal braces smaller, more comfortable, and less noticeable than ever before.

• Clear Braces: Clear braces work similarly to traditional metal braces but are made of a clear, ceramic material that blends in with the natural colour of your teeth. They are a popular choice for teens and adults who want a more discreet option while still benefiting from the effectiveness of braces. Clear braces are less noticeable than traditional metal braces but still provide the same reliable results.

• Invisalign®: Invisalign is a revolutionary, nearly invisible orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to straighten teeth. These aligners are removable, making it easier to eat, brush, and floss compared to traditional braces. Invisalign is ideal for those who prefer a more discreet, comfortable treatment option, and it is effective for treating many types of alignment issues, including overbites, underbites, and crowded teeth.

• Lingual Braces: Lingual braces are similar to traditional metal braces but are placed on the inside of the teeth, making them virtually invisible to others. This option is perfect for those who want the effectiveness of braces but don’t want to be concerned about the appearance of their orthodontic treatment. Lingual braces are custom-made to fit the contours of your teeth and provide a high level of precision.

The Orthodontic Process: What to Expect

Orthodontic treatment can take several months to a few years, depending on the complexity of the case. The process generally follows these steps:

‍

• Consultation and Evaluation: The first step in any orthodontic journey is a consultation with one of our orthodontic specialists. During this visit, we will assess your dental health, discuss your goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan. We may take digital X-rays, photographs, and impressions to help us create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

• Placing the Braces or Aligners: Once we’ve developed your plan, the next step is to place your braces or fit you with Invisalign aligners. If you're getting traditional metal or clear braces, the brackets will be bonded to your teeth, and the wires will be threaded through them. For Invisalign, we will provide you with a series of custom-made aligners to wear over a set period.

• Adjustments and Monitoring: You’ll need to visit our office regularly for adjustments or progress checks. If you’re wearing braces, we’ll adjust the wires to ensure your teeth are shifting in the right direction. If you're using Invisalign, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners as directed. Regular check-ups are crucial to the success of your treatment.

• Completion and Retainers: Once your treatment is complete and your teeth have moved into their desired positions, we will provide you with retainers to help maintain your new smile. Retainers are crucial for keeping your teeth in their new alignment and preventing them from shifting back to their original position.

‍

We understand that orthodontic treatment can feel like a big commitment, and we are here to make the process as comfortable and convenient as possible. From the moment you walk into our office, you’ll notice our people-focused approach. We believe that creating a positive and supportive environment is key to making your treatment a success.
