The CAO (Canadian Association of Orthodontics) and the AAO (American Association of Orthodontics) recommends that every child should see an orthodontic specialist by the age of 7. Early consultation allows the orthodontist to determine the optimum time for treatment to begin. Some orthodontic problems are easier to correct if detected early rather than waiting until all permanent teeth are present or jaw growth has slowed.
Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile.
Consider Invisalign to get the beautiful straight teeth you've always wanted - without braces. A complimentary consultation can determine if Invisalign is right for you. Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you're wearing. So, you can smile more during treatment as well as after.
Just as orthodontics repositions teeth, surgical orthodontics (also known as orthognathic surgery) corrects jaw irregularities to improve the patient's ability to chew, speak, and breathe and for improved facial appearances. In other words, surgical orthodontics straightens your jaw. Moving the jaws also moves the teeth, so braces are always performed in conjunction with jaw correction.
