At Etobicoke Dental Care, we understand the importance of a confident, healthy smile. Braces are an effective solution for straightening teeth, correcting bite issues, and improving overall oral health. Whether you’re a teen considering braces for the first time or an adult looking to enhance your smile, we offer customized orthodontic solutions to meet your needs.
Benefits of Braces
Braces do more than just straighten teeth. Here are a few key benefits:
- Improved Alignment: Correct misaligned teeth for a more even, attractive smile.
- Better Oral Health: Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Enhanced Bite Function: Address overbites, underbites, or crossbites to make chewing more comfortable and effective.
- Boosted Confidence: Achieve the smile you’ve always wanted, helping you feel more self-assured in your daily life.
The Process of Getting Braces
Initial Consultation
During your first visit, we’ll assess your teeth and bite, discuss your goals, and recommend the best treatment plan.
Customized Treatment Plan
We’ll create a detailed plan tailored to your needs, including the type of braces, estimated treatment time, and costs.
Placement of Braces
Once you’re ready, we’ll carefully place your braces or deliver your custom-fit aligners to start the transformation process.
Regular Adjustments
For braces, you’ll visit us every few weeks to adjust wires and monitor progress. For aligners, we’ll provide new trays periodically as your teeth shift.
Completion & Retainer
When treatment is complete, we’ll provide a retainer to maintain your new smile and prevent teeth from shifting.
Tips for Maintaining Oral Hygiene
Good oral hygiene is crucial while wearing braces or aligners. Follow these tips to ensure a healthy and successful treatment process:
- Brush After Every Meal: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to clean around brackets and wires.
- Floss Daily: Use floss threaders or orthodontic floss for hard-to-reach areas around braces.
- Use a Mouthwash: An antibacterial mouthwash can help reduce plaque and keep your gums healthy.
- Avoid Hard or Sticky Foods: These can damage your braces or get stuck, making cleaning difficult.
- Clean Your Aligners: If you’re using clear aligners, rinse and clean them daily with a gentle cleanser.
