Teeth-straightening solutions from the teenage years and beyond
Most children lose their baby teeth by the age of 13. Before they’ve even lost their last few baby teeth and have most of their adult teeth it’s pretty easy to tell where there will be over-crowding or where permanent teeth are coming in crooked. This is the best time to begin orthodontic treatment while they’re still settling in to their permanent adult smile.
As much as we love bringing out the natural beauty of a smile, orthodontic treatment is even more important for their oral health. Misaligned teeth and a crooked bite can be difficult to clean properly, feel uncomfortable and even cause aches and pains. With orthodontic treatment, these issues can be resolved in as little as 6 months.
Orthodontic treatment is an exciting milestone that builds confidence for young adults. Whether your teen chooses clear aligners or traditional braces, our team is here to guide them toward a healthy, well-aligned smile. Please be advised that all orthodontic treatments at our practice are provided by a General Practitioner.
Your teen might benefit from orthodontic treatment if they have:
- An overbite – when the upper teeth sit too far forward.
- Excessive spacing – gaps or spaces between the teeth.
- An underbite – when the lower teeth sit too far forward.
- Crowding – when teeth are overlapping or impossible to floss.
- Crossbite – a bite that doesn’t mesh comfortably.
- Pain – Chronic headaches, jaw pain, or upper back and neck pain.
Orthodontic Treatment Options
There are several orthodontic treatment options available to help improve the alignment, function, and appearance of your smile. Your recommended treatment will depend on your individual needs, lifestyle, and goals.
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces remain one of the most effective ways to correct crooked teeth, crowding, and bite issues. Modern braces are much smaller, more comfortable, and less noticeable than older metal brackets, making treatment easier and more convenient than ever before.
Clear Brackets
For patients looking for a more discreet option, we also offer clear brackets. These braces blend in more naturally with your teeth while providing the same reliable results as traditional braces. They’re especially popular among teens and young adults who want a less noticeable treatment option.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, have become an increasingly popular choice for straightening teeth. These custom-made transparent trays gradually guide teeth into proper alignment and can be removed for eating, brushing, flossing, and special occasions. Their nearly invisible appearance makes them a convenient option for many patients
The cost of orthodontic treatment in Barrhaven
With most insurance plans, orthodontic treatment typically costs between $3,000 and $5,000+ out-of-pocket. After a full oral examination, a more accurate estimate can be provided, including how much your insurance is expected to cover and what your remaining balance may be. Without insurance, treatment usually ranges from $4,000 to $6,000+.
Several factors can influence the overall cost of orthodontic care, including:
- The current condition of your teeth and gums
- The amount of movement required to properly align your teeth
- The type of orthodontic treatment selected
- The length of the treatment
Since every smile is different, the most accurate way to determine both treatment needs and cost is through a consultation. After a detailed exam, a personalized treatment plan is created, including a clear timeline and a tailored cost estimate.
