Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is orthodontics?
    Orthodontics is a type of dentistry focused on correcting crooked teeth, crowding, spacing, and bite problems (overbite, underbite, crossbite) using braces or clear aligners.

  • What problems can orthodontic treatment fix?
    Orthodontics can improve teeth alignment, correct jaw/bite issues, reduce uneven wear, and make brushing/flossing easier by creating healthier spacing between teeth.

  • When should my child have their first orthodontic evaluation?
    Many families book an orthodontic checkup in the early school years to spot crowding or bite issues early. Even if treatment isn’t needed right away, early monitoring can help plan the best timing.

  • Do adults benefit from orthodontics too?
    Yes. Adult orthodontics is common for cosmetic improvement and bite correction. Clear aligners are popular, but braces can still be the best option for certain movements.

  • Braces vs clear aligners: which is better?
    Clear aligners are removable and discreet, while braces may be more suitable for complex tooth movements and for patients who might struggle with wear-time compliance. Your provider will recommend based on your goals and bite.

  • How long does orthodontic treatment take?
    Orthodontic treatment time depends on severity and the type of appliance. Some mild cases can be shorter, while bite correction and complex cases typically take longer.

  • How much do braces or clear aligners cost in Canada?
    Orthodontic cost varies by province, case complexity, and treatment type (metal braces, ceramic braces, clear aligners). A consult with records (photos/scan/X-rays) is the best way to confirm a quote.

  • Is orthodontic treatment covered by dental insurance in Canada?
    Many plans have orthodontic benefits (often with lifetime maximums and age limits). Coverage depends on your employer plan, and pre-approval is sometimes required.

  • Do braces hurt, and what should I expect after adjustments?
    Some soreness or pressure is normal for a few days after braces placement or tightening. Soft foods, saltwater rinses, and orthodontic wax can help reduce irritation.

  • Will I need a retainer after orthodontics?
    Yes. Retainers are essential to keep teeth from shifting back. Many patients wear retainers full-time at first, then switch to nighttime wear long term to maintain results.
