Orthodontics Calgary NE - How Orthodontic Treatment Works

Orthodontic treatment is one of the most effective ways to improve your smile and bite. The right orthodontist can guide you through all the necessary steps to ensure a healthy and beautiful new smile.

When you visit us at Family Braces NE, we will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine whether you are a candidate for orthodontic treatment or not. Orthodontic treatment is designed to realign teeth and correct any misalignment. It can be done with traditional braces, Invisalign® clear aligners, or other methods.

Here at Family Braces NE Calgary, we see people of all ages who want to achieve a beautiful smile and a healthy bite.

Here are some of the reasons why people choose orthodontic treatment:

To improve self-confidence. Having straight teeth can help you feel more confident about your appearance.

To prevent future problems. Correcting misaligned teeth now can help prevent damage to your jawbone and other tissues over time.

To keep your natural teeth for life! When properly cared for, it's possible to keep your natural teeth for life with regular brushing and flossing, but sometimes orthodontic treatment is needed to make sure everything looks good!

How Orthodontic Treatment Works

Orthodontic treatment is designed to move teeth into the correct position. The main goal of orthodontics is to correct dental irregularities and improve the health of a patient's smile.

There are several types of orthodontic treatment available:

Braces:

Braces are small metal appliances that fit over the teeth, usually for about two years. Braces can be used to move teeth in any direction, depending on the type of brace used.

Invisalign®:

Invisalign is a line of clear aligners that are worn over the course of months to achieve perfect orthodontic results. Invisalign aligners are made with smooth edges and nearly invisible brackets that allow you to straighten your smile without anyone noticing you're wearing them! Each aligner moves your teeth slightly toward the next one until your teeth are straightened at their final position. A major benefit of Invisalign is that it's removable so you don't have to worry about losing it or having it break while eating or brushing your teeth!

Why do you need orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontic treatment is not just about straightening your teeth. It's about improving the health and function of your mouth and teeth so that you can enjoy a healthy smile for a lifetime.

Straight teeth aren't just beautiful — they're healthier too. With good oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and correct tooth alignment, you can avoid gum disease, decay, and other problems associated with poor dental health.

Orthodontic treatment can also help improve your self-confidence by giving you a smile that makes you feel good about yourself.

Choosing an orthodontist for your child is an important decision that should be based on more than price alone. As with any medical professional, there are certain things to look for when choosing someone who will work on your child's mouth:

An active member of the Alberta Dental Association & College (ADA&C) or Canadian Dental Association (CDA) - If a dentist isn't registered with these organizations, he or she may not have up-to-date training in the latest techniques and technology in dentistry.

What to expect during your first visit to an orthodontist

First of all, don't be nervous! Orthodontists are used to working with patients of all ages and backgrounds. They're also well-versed in the latest technologies and treatments available, so you should feel confident that they'll work with you to find the best solution for your unique needs.

When you arrive at your appointment, you'll probably be asked to fill out some paperwork. You'll also have an opportunity to meet with the orthodontist who will be working with you and discuss how they intend to approach your treatment plan. Once that's done, you'll get started right away!

The first step is usually taking a series of x-rays using a tray that fits over your teeth and gums. This helps doctors see what position your teeth are in and if any issues need addressing before moving forward with treatment options. If this is the case, then plans will need to be made for additional appointments before moving forward with treatment options.

Next comes an examination of the patient's mouth area by hand (not just looking at x-ray images). This enables doctors to get an idea of how much room there is for teeth movement (orthodontic space).

After you get your orthodontic treatment for your teeth, it is important that you maintain a regular schedule of visits. You have already established the foundation for healthy teeth and jaw by getting the best orthodontic treatment possible. However, if there is any relapse from poor oral care or poor diet, you will have to go back to an orthodontist in Calgary NE to have another treatment.
