Orthodontic issues, such as crooked teeth, inhibit proper chewing and can complicate everyday activities like cleaning your teeth. This increases your risk of tooth decay and cavities. Additionally, crooked teeth put undue strain on your jaw muscles. Many patients with misaligned teeth and bite issues will hide their smiles out of embarrassment and low self-esteem.
With orthodontic treatment, you can transform your smile and improve your oral health! The aim of orthodontic treatment is to shift teeth into proper alignment for a more aesthetic smile and better oral health. While there are different ways to straighten and align teeth, the most popular option in NW Calgary is braces.
Your dentist may recommend braces to improve the appearance of your smile and correct orthodontic issues. Braces are effective at correcting these common problems:
We provide braces at our NW Calgary dental clinic to correct orthodontic issues, prevent oral health problems from developing, and improve oral hygiene.
Conventional braces consist of brackets, wires, and bands that work together to align the teeth. The brackets are affixed to the front surface of each tooth, and archwires are attached to bands that hold them in place on the brackets. The archwires are tightened periodically to move the teeth into proper alignment.
If you would like to receive braces in NW Calgary, please contact us to schedule a consultation.
Absolutely. Some people assume that braces are only for children. Although braces are recommended more often for children and teens, nobody is ever “too old” for braces.
Spy Hill Dental Clinic offers orthodontic treatment with braces for adults in NW Calgary. The brackets we use are small to make them less noticeable.
