Yes, orthodontics can effectively fix crowded teeth by using braces, aligners, or other devices to gradually shift teeth.
An overbite occurs when the upper teeth overlap the lower teeth, while an underbite is when the lower teeth protrude beyond the upper teeth.
Orthodontic treatment progresses in stages: consultation, active treatment (braces or aligners), and retention to maintain results.
Retainers are typically worn full-time for the first few months after braces are removed, then nightly for several years.
Not wearing your retainer can lead to teeth shifting back to their original positions, requiring additional orthodontic treatment.
Braces can help correct speech issues caused by misaligned teeth or jaw, improving clarity and pronunciation over time.
Clear aligners in Toronto typically range from $4,000 to $7,000, depending on the complexity and length of treatment.
Invisible aligners are effective for most cases of teeth misalignment but may not address more complex issues as well as metal braces.
