Orthodontic Treatment in Edmonton
Regardless of your age - whether you are a child, a teen, or an adult - the goal of orthodontic treatment is to straighten your teeth so that they look and work better.
At Westmount Dental Centre, our dentists offer traditional metal braces and Invisalign clear aligners as orthodontic options.
Both options work similarly in that they apply continuous pressure to your teeth over a period of time, slowly moving them into their desired positions.
As pressure is applied and the teeth move, the bone changes shape to accommodate the new positions of the teeth.
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces, made of either metal or ceramic, have been used for decades to straighten teeth. Recent advances in orthodontic treatment have resulted in braces that have a lower-profile, and are more comfortable and easier to care for than ever before.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
With Invisalign clear aligners, your smile is gradually straightened using a series of individually customized, clear plastic aligners. These aligners are removable for eating or brushing and flossing your teeth.
