Orthodontics has come a long way, and in 2025, patients have more choices than ever when it comes to straightening their teeth. Whether you’re a teen or an adult, there’s a braces option that fits your lifestyle and goals.
Here’s a breakdown of what’s available in Canada this year.
👉 1. Traditional Metal Braces
- Made of high-grade stainless steel
- Smaller and more comfortable than past versions
- Often the most cost-effective option
- Great for complex orthodontic needs
👉 2. Ceramic (Clear) Braces
- Tooth-coloured brackets blend in with your smile
- Less noticeable than metal
- Popular with older teens and adults
- Slightly more delicate and may stain if not properly cared for
👉 3. Lingual Braces
- Placed on the back (tongue side) of your teeth
- Completely hidden when you smile
- Custom-made for each patient
- May take longer to get used to when speaking or eating
👉 4. Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign®)
- Removable, plastic trays worn over your teeth
- Virtually invisible and easy to clean
- Ideal for mild to moderate cases
- Must be worn 20–22 hours per day for best results
