What Are Your Options for Orthodontic Treatment?
As orthodontics can be a lengthy process, you should learn more about your options before starting treatment. Orthodontic solutions today go beyond the traditional metal braces of the past. In this post, Drs. Elise Vincelette and Raman Samra from SV Orthodontics answer your questions about our orthodontic services in Toronto, Ontario, so you can decide which system is best for you.
What are my options for orthodontic treatment?
At SV Orthodontics, we offer several orthodontic treatments to straighten teeth. These include Gold Iconix braces, clear ceramic braces, and Invisalign clear aligner therapy. Drs. Vincelette and Samra will evaluate your oral health and inspect the state of your teeth to determine the problems that need to be addressed. This will enable us to guide you to the orthodontic system we feel would be best for you.
At what age should my child receive an orthodontic consultation?
Screening for orthodontic issues can begin around the age of 7 after your child’s permanent teeth have started to come in. At this time, we can assess your child’s dental development and determine if orthodontics may be needed in the future. Adolescent orthodontic treatments generally start between the ages of 10 and 14. Â
What age is considered too old for orthodontic services?
There’s no age limit for correcting orthodontic issues. Adults can benefit from orthodontic treatment just as much as children or teens. Orthodontics may be easier for adults as they’re more mature and responsible enough to comply with their treatment guidelines.

What dental problems can orthodontic treatment fix?
Drs. Vincelette and Samra offer orthodontic solutions for straightening crooked teeth, fixing overlapping teeth, closing gaps between teeth, and correcting problems with your bite and overcrowding. We’ll create a treatment plan that addresses your unique orthodontic needs and monitor your treatment from start to finish, ensuring your smile goals are achieved.
How do I care for my teeth when wearing braces?
Good oral hygiene is essential when wearing braces to minimize the risk of cavities. We recommend brushing and flossing after every meal. Our staff at SV Orthodontics will review brushing and flossing techniques that can help minimize plaque buildup during your orthodontic treatment. We also recommend scheduling routine dental cleanings to help keep your mouth fresh and clean. Lastly, you should avoid sugary, hard and chewy foods during treatment as they can get stuck in your braces and increase your risk of cavities.
How long do orthodontic treatments last?
The time frame for completing orthodontic treatment varies, depending on the problems that need to be fixed. The average treatment time can range from 12-24 months.
