Understanding Orthodontics

You may not realize it, but orthodontics does more than improve the look of your smile—it makes it healthier too.

Our Barrie orthodontics treatments straighten your teeth so that they look great and work better as well by improving your bite. Teeth that are overcrowded can be harder to keep clean and healthy, so by using orthodontics to straighten and align your teeth to the way they should be you and your dentist will be better able to provide you with the health care you deserve.

Orthodontics works by applying a very gentle and subtle pressure to your teeth that gradually moves them into place so that they are straight and properly aligned. How long it takes varies per person based on things such as amount of straightening needed, appliance used and more. The best way to find out the answers to all of your questions is to make an appointment and come in for a consultation. No two mouths are exactly a like which is why it’s best to have us give you a personal consultation so that we can work with you to get you the results that you’re after.

We now offer a new treatment option called Invisalign. These alternatives to braces are clear and removable aligners which eventually move your teeth to where they should be. They are a clear and almost invisible solution to braces for people who want to be able to smile with confidence before and during the treatment. Invisalign boasts a 96% patient satisfaction rate.
