Orthodontics near you

How many times have you thought about your teeth? Are you unhappy with how crowded, crooked, or misaligned they are when you bite down? Have you felt shy to smile or talk due to the appearance of your mouth? At Dentistry on Bayview, we offer orthodontics in North York to help straighten teeth, ensure proper bites, and provide the ability to smile with confidence.

Orthodontics helps straighten teeth and fix bite problems with braces or clear aligners. Teenage patients and their parents can be apprehensive about embarking on this treatment, and the same applies to full adult patients. Orthodontic treatments can be a very smooth process. If you are looking for orthodontics near you, we have plenty of solutions available for you.

What Is Orthodontics and Why Does It Matter

When people think of orthodontics, they often assume that it’s a procedure meant to straighten teeth, and while orthodontic care certainly straightens teeth, it’s truly meant to assist the entire mouth in functioning properly. When teeth are crowded or not properly positioned, it can make chewing harder, add stress or pain to the jaw, and even cause cavities. Orthodontic care works by gently moving teeth to better positions, so you feel as if your bite is natural, and your smile looks great.

At Dentistry on Bayview, we’re proud to offer orthodontics in North York to help improve the way your teeth fit together and how confident you feel when you smile. The goal in choosing braces or clear aligners is the same: strong, well-aligned, healthy teeth and a smile you feel lasts.

Indications You May Want Braces or Aligners

You may need orthodontic treatment if you:

  • Have crowded or overlapping teeth
  • Have gaps between your teeth
  • Have an overbite, underbite or crossbite
  • Have jaw pain when chewing or discomfort
  • Are looking for straighter teeth due to a want or need for your confidence, smile, or professional reasons

If you visit a dentist near you, they will assess your teeth and let you know if you would benefit from braces or aligners. At Dentistry on Bayview, we will hold your hand through the process with empathy and understanding.

What You’ll Experience During Your Orthodontic Treatment

Getting orthodontic work done nearby will be a stepwise process. The steps are:

Step 1: Consultation and planning
During the initial visit, a dentist in North York, Toronto, will evaluate your teeth, take X-rays, and discuss your treatment goals. So we can create your customized treatment plan.

Step 2: Treatment Begins
Once your braces or clear aligner(s) are placed, your teeth will be moved gradually in phases based on your needs, and appointments will be scheduled accordingly.

Step 3: Enjoy Your New Smile!
When your teeth are in their proper spot, we will take off your braces or finish your clear aligner(s) and proceed to fit you with a retainer to keep your new smile.

Most treatment plans will range between 12 and 24 months, based on each individual’s needs. We will be checking in on your progress all the way through to keep you up-to-date and at ease.

FAQ’s

What's the difference between clear aligners and braces?

Braces have wires and brackets that are metal, and clear aligners are just trays. They are both used to align teeth, but the clear aligners are removable and less visible.

How long does orthodontic treatment take?

Most people are in braces/clear aligners for 1 to 2 years. But we will provide you with an estimated time period based on your own needs.

Is orthodontic treatment painful?

You might see and feel a little pressure when your teeth start to move, but this is usually mild and will go away quickly.

Are adults able to get braces or clear aligners?

Yes. Orthodontics are not just for kids, and many adults are choosing orthodontic treatment so they can have a nice smile and a functional bite.
