Types of Orthodontics

North Vancouver Orthodontics Invisalign

Invisalign

Invisalign corrects dental problems by using a set of hard plastic aligners fitted to your teeth. These aligners work much like braces, guiding your teeth into their proper position. Unlike braces, they are practically invisible, making them a popular choice for many patients.

North Vancouver Orthodontics ClearCorrect

ClearCorrect

Similar to other clear aligner brands (like Invisalign) available to certified dentists or orthodontists, ClearCorrect straightens teeth using a series of custom-made, removable, clear aligners that gradually move teeth little by little. This eventually corrects the smile to elicit a new, revitalized look. Clear aligner treatment is ideal for adults who don’t wan’t the obvious look that comes along with traditional braces, creating beautiful smiles in a more subtle way.

Damon Braces

Use a slide mechanism to connect archwires to the brackets, allowing the wire to move freely and eliminating the need for elastics.

Palatal Expanders

Useful for crowded teeth, crossbites, and impacted teeth. Where once tooth extraction may have been called for, palatal expanders can create more space for teeth by gradually expanding the upper jaw.

Benefits of Straight Teeth

While there are obvious cosmetic reasons to straighten teeth, there are also numerous health benefits:

  • Straight teeth are easier to clean. Crooked teeth are prone to trapping food and plaque in areas that can’t be effectively brushed and flossed. A healthy smile is a straight one!

  • Over crowded teeth are more prone to gum disease, along with inflammation and redness. Professional orthodontic treatment can help resolve crowded teeth concerns for more confident smiles!

  • Pressure on over crowded teeth can cause cracks and damage to enamel. Preventative orthodontic treatment can nip these concerns in the bud.

  • Gum disease has also been linked to serious health problems outside the mouth, such as heart disease. Straightening teeth can enhance overall health, especially oral health and heart health.

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are thin, tooth-coloured shells attached to the front surface of teeth to protect them and improve their appearance.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are used to replace teeth for anyone suffering from severe tooth decay, or even tooth loss. A screw is attached to the jaw, acting as the support for the artificial tooth.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth become stained over time from the foods and drinks we consume, as well as such factors as smoking and even some medications.
