1. What orthodontic treatments are available at Ora Dental in Scarborough?
At Ora Dental, we provide different kinds of orthodontic care, which include Invisalign clear aligners and Damon braces. They are both effective and different. Invisalign uses a series of clear and removable aligners which gradually move your teeth into place, while Damon braces uses low-friction technology. This makes the whole process more comfortable. They are meant for children, teens, and adults who want a great, perfect smile.
2. How does Invisalign® work, and who is it suitable for?
Invisalign® offers clear, custom-tailored aligners designed to fit over the teeth. Each aligner is usually worn for seven days before switching to the next aligner in the sequence. This treatment option best suits individuals with mild to moderately severe cases of dental misalignment. Its discrete nature explains its popularity among adults and teenagers. To facilitate the movement of teeth and the correction of bites, attachments or buttons may be used.
3. What are Damon® braces, and how do they differ from traditional braces?
Damon® braces stand apart from traditional metal braces. Using a self-ligating mechanism that decreases friction: braces, clips, and ligatures, and allowing the teeth to move more freely and comfortably. This also results in shorter treatment durations and reduced orthodontic visits. Above and beyond that, Damon® braces are focused on creating a more wider and beautiful smile.
4. At what age should a child first visit an orthodontist?
The Canadian Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by the age of seven. Early assessment allows the orthodontist to identify any developing issues and determine the appropriate time to begin treatment. Early intervention can guide the growth of the jaw and incoming permanent teeth, potentially simplifying future treatment.
5. How long does orthodontic treatment typically take?
The complexity of the case and the treatment option selected are the most important determinants of the time it takes to complete orthodontic treatment. For most patients, this takes anywhere from 12 to 24 months. The level of misalignment, the patient’s adherence to the treatment plan (such as wearing aligners and attending follow-up appointments), and the orthodontic technique chosen are some other determinants of the time it takes to complete treatment.
6. Are there any dietary restrictions during orthodontic treatment?
Yes, during orthodontic therapy, temporary dietary changes will be needed. Patients with traditional braces should avoid hard, sticky, or chewy food so as not to break the brackets and wires. While users of Invisalign® can remove their aligners and enjoy their regular diets, they must still brush their teeth and aligners afterward to avoid staining and to maintain oral hygiene before reinserting the aligners.
