What are the Benefits of Getting Braces on Your Teeth?
If crooked, overlapping, or uneven teeth are robbing you of a confident smile, it’s time to visit SV Orthodontics in Toronto, Ontario! We offer various options for orthodontic treatment to change your smile for the better. Drs. Raman Samra and Elise Vincelette answer your questions about the use and care of braces and are here to help you decide if they’re a good fit for you.
What are some of the benefits of getting braces on your teeth?
If you’ve been putting up with crooked teeth for some time, orthodontic braces can be a life-changing experience! Through the use of braces, Drs. Samra and Vincelette can straighten crooked teeth, correct bite issues, close gaps between teeth and remedy problems with overcrowding. Braces can give your smile a straighter, healthier, more attractive appearance. Straightening your teeth will improve your ability to chew, allowing you to eat a wider variety of food. Better chewing improves digestion and helps you get more nutritional value from your food, which can contribute to a healthier, stronger you!Â
Are there different types of braces I can choose from?
At SV Orthodontics, we offer a variety of braces, including traditional metal braces, Gold Iconix braces, and clear ceramic braces to make your treatment more discreet. Your orthodontists at SV Orthodontics can explain the pros and cons of each and guide you in selecting the braces best suited for your treatment.
How do I maintain good oral hygiene with braces?
Undergoing orthodontic treatment with braces can make oral hygiene more challenging, but it’s still possible to maintain good oral care. Brushing after every meal and flossing before bed will help keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy. Drs. Samra and Vincelette will teach brushing and flossing techniques to improve oral hygiene during treatment. It’s also important to eat a healthy diet and avoid sugary foods and drinks that can contribute to decay or gum disease. Routine dental cleanings should also be scheduled throughout your orthodontic treatment.

Is wearing braces painful?
You may feel some discomfort initially as your teeth adjust to the braces and the pressure they place on them. As you adapt, the discomfort will cease. In the meantime, you can take OTC pain relievers to manage discomfort from this treatment.
How long do I have to wear braces on my teeth?
Treatment times vary to meet patients’ individual needs. Depending on the problems you want to correct, you may wear braces from six months to several years.
What should I know about braces aftercare?
Once your treatment is complete, we’ll make you retainers to keep your new smile straight. A retainer prevents your teeth from returning to their former positions. We offer removable and fixed retainers to keep your smile perfectly aligned for years to come.
