Orthodontics
North York

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry specialized in diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities. While many people associate orthodontics with aesthetics, straight teeth are also essential for your long-term oral health.

Properly aligned teeth are easier to brush and floss, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Correcting a misaligned bite (malocclusion) can also relieve jaw pain and prevent excessive wear on your tooth enamel.

• Crowding: When there isn’t enough room for all your teeth.

• Spacing: Gaps between teeth.

• Overbite/Underbite: Misalignment of the upper and lower jaws.

• Crossbite: When teeth sit incorrectly inside or outside the opposing teeth.

Traditional dental braces remain one of the most effective and reliable ways to straighten teeth. They give us precise control over the movement of your teeth, making them the ideal choice for treating complex orthodontic issues.

Today’s braces are lighter, smaller, and more comfortable than those from the past. We offer options tailored to your lifestyle and aesthetic preferences:

• • Ceramic (Clear) Braces: A popular choice for adults and professionals. These brackets are made from tooth-colored material that blends in with your smile, offering the effectiveness of traditional braces without the high-contrast look of metal.

  • Traditional Metal Braces: The most durable and cost-effective option, widely used for children and teens.

  • Who Needs Them? Braces are often recommended for treating severe overcrowding, complex jaw misalignment, or rotated teeth that clear aligners may not be able to fully correct.

Instead of wires, this system uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic trays that fit snugly over your teeth.

• Removable: You can take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss, meaning no dietary restrictions.

• Discreet: The aligners are clear and difficult to spot, so most people won’t know you are wearing them.

• Comfortable: Smooth plastic reduces irritation to the cheeks and gums compared to metal wires.

For patients who want a straighter smile without the look of metal brackets, clear aligners offer a virtually invisible solution. This is a popular choice for adults and professionals in Toronto who want discreet treatment.

We know that orthodontic treatment is a journey. Our North York clinic is committed to making that journey as comfortable and convenient as possible.

• Comprehensive Exams: We assess your overall oral health, not just your tooth alignment.

• Digital Technology: We use digital scanners to create precise models of your teeth—say goodbye to uncomfortable putty impressions.

• Flexible Options: We help you choose between braces and aligners based on your lifestyle, budget, and clinical needs.

• Family Care: We treat patients of all ages, from young children needing early intervention to adults seeking a new smile.
