Orthodontics is the science of straightening teeth, improving bite, and all things related to teeth and mouth structure. It can improve the looks of your smile but, more importantly, orthodontics improves the function of your mouth.
Improving how your teeth and mouth work together increases how well it helps with basic things like chewing. That improves nutrition and quality of life which lasts over a lifetime. In some cases, improving nutrition through better teeth function can lower the risk of disease and increase longevity as nutrition is related to overall health.
Being able to eat all your favorite foods because of improved mouth function will add to enjoyment throughout your life.
Better mouth function can also improve speech. That, in turn, can improve confidence and open up opportunities. Improving your smile's looks also serves as a confidence boost and can help launch a new season of life.
Traditional braces are effective and affordable with orthopedic visits scheduled every 4 weeks. The typical treatment period averages around 18 months.
Clear or ceramic aligners and lingual braces offer effectiveness but without the high visibility of traditional braces. Treatment periods average 18 months but can be longer. Visits are between 4 and 6 weeks apart.
Clear aligners like Invisalign are hardly detectable and are effective with many misalignment issues. Visits can be 6 to 8 weeks apart and treatment times can be as short as 6 months or up to 2 years.
Orthodontics in Canada typically starts at $2,000 but can go as high as $10,000. It depends on each case and whether other dental services are required before getting orthodontics, the length of treatment, and the method used. Younger children between 9 and 11 years old are typically less expensive because their teeth are easier to move to a correct position so the sooner you get started, the more likely it is for the cost to be lower.
The best way to get an exact cost is to set an appointment with a Maison Dental orthodontist. An exam and X-ray can give you a definitive treatment plan. Our staff can discuss various payment options for you too.
