Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment may be considered for patients of different age groups to address dental alignment issues. Common objectives include improving oral hygiene, occlusion, and overall dental function.
At Cameron Dental Centre, we offer orthodontic services including braces and clear aligners for children and adults. Treatment options are determined based on individual clinical assessments.
Orthodontic evaluation is often recommended during early adolescence, typically around age 12, when the jaw and dentition are still developing. A range of treatment modalities is available depending on the patient’s oral condition and needs.
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.
