If so, according to our Montreal dentists team, you may be in need of orthodontic treatment.

Many people believe that orthodontic treatment is simply done for aesthetic reasons – getting braces to straighten your teeth and give you a more confident and radiant smile. While correcting aesthetic problems is important, orthodontics also help to keep your jaw and teeth in correct alignment.

Who May Benefit from Orthodontic Treatment?

A surprising number of people are actually in need of orthodontic treatment. They may be experiencing jaw pain, headaches, neck pain, and they don’t realize that the pain may be due to the misalignment of their teeth and their jaw.

Candidates for orthodontic treatment include people who have:

  • Overbite – top front teeth are too far forward
  • Underbite – bottom front teeth protrude out farther than the top front teeth
  • Openbite – front teeth do not meet when the side teeth are closed
  • Crossbite – certain teeth that should align do not (lower teeth are crossing upper teeth)
  • Crowded teeth
  • Crooked teeth
  • Gaps between the teeth
  • Lips that don’t close completely

Types of Orthodontic Treatments (Appliances)

There are various types of appliances used in orthodontic treatments including:

  • Regular, visible braces
  • Clear removable appliances
  • Invisible braces
  • Headgear (used for children and teenagers who have a serious misalignment of teeth)
  • Night braces (used to move specific groups of teeth while braces are created)
  • Retainers (used to provide support once the braces are removed)

Types of Orthodontic Treatments – Invisalign

According to our dentists, Invisalign braces are fast becoming the preferred orthodontic treatment. The Montreal dentists state that Invisalign braces are a great alternative to metal braces, as they are much more comfortable to wear and they have been proven to be just as effective.

Invisalign’s technology features the use of a series of custom-made aligner trays created specifically for each patient. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable plastic which is virtually invisible. You simply wear them over your teeth. A great benefit is that you can remove the device. This enables you to brush and floss your teeth and eat normally.

Types of Orthodontic Treatments – Duration

The duration of treatment varies for each patient. Consult with your dentist to determine the treatment that is best for you and create your treatment and follow-up plan.
