Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment is suitable for all ages looking to improve the alignment of their crooked teeth in order to improve their oral hygiene, bite and smile.
At Cameron Dental Centre, we provide both braces and invisible aligners for kids and adults.
Early teens, around 12 years old or so, is the ideal time for one to consider orthodontic treatment as this is the age where the child’s mouth and jaw are still growing. There are various types of options when considering orthodontic treatment for teeth alignment.
Invisible Aligners
Clear aligners are a series or sequence of clear, paper thin, removable mouth guards. They are an alternative to braces and function by moving teeth in small increments within each aligner.
Aligners are changed regularly, from every 3-4 days up to every 2-3 weeks, depending upon the aligner system used. They are virtually invisible, comfortable, don’t affect speech, and can be removed for eating, tooth cleaning and special occasions.
When to use it?
Clear aligners are a solution for patients seeking a discreet and comfortable orthodontic treatment.
