Orthodontics can help correct TMJ or jaw issues by realigning teeth and improving bite function, reducing discomfort and strain.

Orthodontic treatment improves bite function, reduces risk of tooth decay, and can alleviate strain on the jaw and teeth, enhancing overall health.

If a wire or bracket breaks, contact your orthodontist immediately to avoid delays or discomfort during treatment.

Brush after meals, floss daily, and avoid sugary snacks to prevent cavities while wearing braces. Regular dental visits are also essential.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic screening by age 7, even if no dental issues are visible.

Invisible aligners are effective for most cases of teeth misalignment but may not address more complex issues as well as metal braces.

Clear aligners in Toronto typically range from $4,000 to $7,000, depending on the complexity and length of treatment.

Braces can help correct speech issues caused by misaligned teeth or jaw, improving clarity and pronunciation over time.

Not wearing your retainer can lead to teeth shifting back to their original positions, requiring additional orthodontic treatment.

Retainers are typically worn full-time for the first few months after braces are removed, then nightly for several years.
