The goal of all Orthodontic treatment is to correct any misalignment of your teeth and jaw. At Copperstone Dental, we provide Invisalign® Orthodontics. Orthodontics has come a long way since wire braces were first introduced. It now includes a wide variety of Orthodontic treatment options including traditional wire braces, and dental appliances. Traditional wire braces often left patients self-conscious about their smile, now with Invisalign®, being self-conscious about your smile is no longer a necessity.
When you schedule your Calgary Orthodontic consultation, Dr. Bryan Wong will identify the orthodontic option that best suits your needs. Please contact us today to schedule your complimentary Invisalign® consultation to learn more about your treatment options.
Orthodontics treatments are considered a safe and effective way of treating teeth that are crowded. As well orthodontic treatment can be used to correct spaced teeth, crossbite issues, and other orthodontic problems. Ideally, the goal of a straight smile can be used as a confidence boost and is an immediate way to make a great first impression!
Using orthodontic treatments like this can also benefit your overall oral health. Having properly aligned teeth can help prevent future dental issues like tooth decay and gingivitis, especially since brushing and flossing become easier. Also improving any bite irregularities, you may have can also aid in your ability to chew and speak clearly.
How Long is The Typical Orthodontic Treatment?The length of Invisalign® treatment varies for each patient. The treatment length depends on the severity of your particular orthodontic concerns. With orthodontics treatments nine to twelve months is considered an average timeframe for the plastic aligners to do their job.
The answer to this is NO! There is no age limit to wanting to have a perfect smile. Yes, it is ideal that orthodontic cases are treated earlier in life, but many adults are taking advantage of today’s treatment options that were not available in previous years.
With orthodontic procedures such as braces, your treatment should be relatively pain-free. While some patients do report a temporary discomfort at each new stage, this typically goes away after just a couple of days.
This necessity is typically quite rare, so depending on your case, teeth extraction may be necessary to make enough room for your treatment to work properly. However, this will be thoroughly discussed with you by your dentist.
If you feel your child might require orthodontic care, we suggest booking a complimentary consultation. Treatment requirements all depend on the development stage of your child’s teeth, which progresses differently for each person.
Typically, orthodontic care is covered under most dental coverage plans. However, we strongly recommend that you check with your insurance provider for the details specific to your plan. Our dental administration team is happy to answer any questions you may have about payment and insurance.
