Orthodontics
Orthodontic intervention is critical for many patients.
- Braces
We provide a wide range of options, from classic metal braces to ceramic with different colour options.
- TM Joint Splint Therapy
Have jaw pain or clenching problems? You might need a TMJ Splint. TMJ splints keep your teeth slightly apart, which helps take the pressure off of the joints of your jaw and the muscles surrounding the joints.
- Night Guards
Night guards help patients deal with teeth grinding during their sleeping hours. Grinding teeth or clenching your jaw results in a sore jaw and worn down enamel.
- Invisalign & Teen-Invisalign Braces
Invisalign braces are custom made to fit your teeth snugly, so that they are virtually invisible. We create a custom treatment plan to gently shift your teeth into place by replacing your aligner every week.
Are you worried about crooked teeth but don’t like the idea of getting braces? You aren’t alone. You are part of a growing group of people who want their teeth correction to be as unnoticeable as possible.
With recent advances in dental alignment, the industry has developed Invisalign: a series of clear, custom aligners that are moulded specifically to your teeth. No metal brackets, no elastic bands, just a set of virtually invisible plastics that get changed out every two weeks until the end of your treatment.
Invisalign also comes with extra benefits above being invisible compared to braces. You now have no restriction on the foods you can eat, is removable at any time, allows for normal brushing and flossing for better oral health, and is made of smooth and comfortable plastic that is far less likely to irritate the inside of your mouth when compared to sharper metal braces.
If you or a loved one needs braces and are looking for a suitable alternative to traditional metal varieties, Invisalign may just be the solution you have been looking for. Our friendly dental staff in our convenient Scarborough location are well-equipped to help you discover if Invisalign is right for you!
- Retainers
Most often used as the last phase of orthodontic treatment, retainers ensure that teeth stay in place after braces have been taken off. Our retainers are comfortable, unnoticeable to the eye, and can be worn all day or only during the night.
- Space Maintainers
Space maintainers can be essential to allow for the growth of permanent teeth after your child’s baby teeth have fallen out. If a space is not maintained for permanent teeth to emerge, orthodontic treatment may be required in the future. In this way, space maintainers are a preventative measure that can save money in the future.
- Athletic Mouth Guards
A custom made athletic mouth guard is far superior to store bought guards. The snug fit made from a mold guarantees maximum protection and comfort.
- Snoring & Sleep Appliances
Our oral appliance therapy is designed to help with sleep apnea and snoring by ensuring an open airway while sleeping.
- Habit Appliances for Young Children
It can be hard to kick the thumb sucking habit, but a simple appliance can make it a whole lot easier. Prolonged thumb sucking can lead to misaligned teeth and other orthodontic issues later on in life. Our appliance is designed to block your child’s thumb from touching the top of his or her mouth, deterring the activity by removing the source of gratification.
