Braces

Braces are one of the most effective ways to straighten teeth, align your bite, and improve overall oral health. At The Wireworks, we offer a variety of braces options, from traditional metal to clear ceramic and lingual braces, tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. Our team is dedicated to helping patients in Toronto – Yorkdale and Barrie – Downtown achieve the smile they’ve always wanted.

Why Choose Braces?

Braces aren’t just about aesthetics; they play an essential role in maintaining long-term oral health. Misaligned teeth can lead to issues like tooth decay, gum disease, and difficulty chewing. With braces, you can experience benefits such as:

  • Improved Alignment: Corrects crowded, spaced, or misaligned teeth.
  • Enhanced Oral Health: Reduces the risk of gum disease and tooth decay.
  • Better Functionality: Improves bite function, making it easier to chew and speak properly.

Types of Braces We Offer

At The Wireworks, we provide various braces options to fit your lifestyle and preferences:

  1. Traditional Metal Braces: Durable and effective, metal braces are ideal for all ages. They can correct even the most complex alignment issues.
  2. Ceramic Braces: These are less noticeable than metal braces, making them a popular choice for teens and adults concerned about aesthetics.
  3. Lingual Braces: Positioned on the back of your teeth, lingual braces are nearly invisible, making them a great option for those who want a discreet look.
  4. Invisalign Clear Aligners: Though not traditional braces, Invisalign offers an alternative for mild to moderate misalignment without wires or brackets.

Who Needs Braces?

Braces can benefit people of all ages who want to improve their smiles and oral health. You may be a good candidate for braces if you experience:

  • Crowded or overlapping teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
  • Difficulty chewing or biting

What to Expect During Braces Treatment

Your journey to a straighter smile starts with a consultation. Here’s a brief overview of the braces process:

  1. Initial Consultation: We assess your dental needs, take X-rays, and discuss your treatment options.
  2. Application of Braces: Once you decide on the type of braces, our orthodontist will carefully apply them to your teeth.
  3. Regular Adjustments: You’ll visit us every few weeks to adjust your braces, ensuring gradual alignment.
  4. Final Removal and Retainer: After the treatment is complete, braces are removed, and a custom retainer is provided to maintain your new smile.
