Teeth-Straightening Solutions for Teens and Adults
Orthodontic treatment is suitable for all ages, offering solutions to straighten your smile while improving oral health. Straightening your teeth not only enhances appearance but also makes them easier to clean and reduces discomfort from misalignment. In some cases, treatment can be completed in as little as six months.
Do You Need Orthodontic Treatment? You may benefit from orthodontics if you experience:
- Overbite: Upper teeth protrude too far forward.
- Underbite: Lower teeth extend past the upper teeth.
- Spacing: Gaps between teeth.
- Crowding: Overlapping teeth that make flossing difficult.
- Crossbite: Misalignment of teeth when biting.
- Pain: Chronic headaches, jaw discomfort, or upper back and neck pain.
If you have any of these concerns, orthodontics in Toronto can enhance both your smile and comfort. Contact us today to explore your options!
Orthodontic Treatment Options
We offer a range of orthodontic solutions to meet your needs and budget. Here are some of the most effective options:
Traditional Braces
Modern metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and easier to clean than older models while still delivering reliable results for even the most complex cases.
Clear Brackets
For those seeking the strength of traditional braces with a more discreet appearance, clear brackets are a subtle option that blend in with your teeth. They’re popular with adults who want a less noticeable solution.
Clear Aligners
Invisalign and other clear aligners use custom-made, nearly invisible trays to gradually straighten your teeth. They’re comfortable, removable, and discreet, allowing you to eat, brush, and floss normally while achieving a beautifully aligned smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Orthodontic treatment is most effective in younger patients, ideally before all adult teeth have fully emerged. However, it’s never too late to straighten your teeth—treatment options are available for adults as well. A consultation can help determine the best approach for you or your teen.
Braces themselves don’t hurt when first applied, but you may feel mild discomfort as your teeth begin to shift. Most patients describe it as more of an annoyance than pain. If discomfort persists, let us know—there are ways to make treatment more comfortable.
To protect your braces and ensure proper cleaning, avoid these foods:
- Sticky Foods: Caramel, gum, and chewy candies.
