7 Things You Need to Know About the Latest Advances in Braces

Back in the day, traditional metal braces were bulky and uncomfortable for many people. While most individuals were eager to have straighter teeth, few enjoyed wearing braces. However, orthodontic technology has come a long way. When you’re ready to achieve the smile of your dreams, Drs. Raman Samra and Elise Vincelette at SV Orthodontics are here to help. Below, we explore seven things you need to know before choosing this treatment.

1. Choosing the Right Braces for Your Unique Situation

Choosing the braces that will be the best fit for you depends on a variety of things. These include your lifestyle, goals for your smile, and the type of treatment you want to have. Drs. Elise Vincelette and Raman Samra work closely with their patients to understand their needs before recommending the best orthodontic solution for them. Some patients want the durability of traditional metal braces, while others may go with a more discreet option, like clear ceramic braces.

2. Timing Is Key: When Should You Start Orthodontic Treatment

Getting the timing right will play a role in successful treatment. According to the Canadian Association of Orthodontists, children should have a consultation by the time they’re seven years old. Teens and adults can complete a consultation whenever they or their dentist feel it is the right time to complete an evaluation!

• Early childhood treatment (ages 7-9)
• Adolescent and Teen treatment (ages 10-18)
• Treatment for adults (18+)

3. Traditional Metal Braces Are a Time-Tested Teeth Straightening Solution

Traditional metal braces are still one of the most effective and reliable orthodontic treatments. Metal braces are extremely durable. Equally important, they can correct even the most complicated dental issues. This includes severe misalignment and problems with your bite. Modern metal braces are much less bulky than the old-school type, making them more comfortable. 

4. Blend Style With Functionality with Gold Iconix Aesthetic Braces

If you want to add a touch of style to your orthodontic experience, one good option is Gold Iconix braces. These braces are made with champagne-gold overlaid onto stainless steel. The colour blends beautifully with your teeth, and you also have the same reliability as traditional braces. Many of the patients who visit SV Orthodontics love how Gold Iconix braces give them a level of sophistication.

5. Clear Ceramic Braces Give You a Discreetly Confident Smile

Patients who want a less noticeable and more discreet option for teeth straightening often choose clear ceramic braces. These braces are made from tooth-coloured materials that seamlessly blend with your teeth. Clear ceramic braces are a great option for adults and teens who value discretion.
