BRACES AND ADULTS, ARE THEY AN OPTION FOR YOU?

As an adult, have you ever wondered about getting braces?  Has it been a life long question, or did you have braces as a child or teen but the results didn't last?  Do you question whether other people have to chew on only one side of their mouth, or if that space between your teeth was really important enough to close? These questions and many more are presented to us every day at Strathcona Orthodontics.  There is no one answer for everyone as each person's situation is unique. But, when you are searching for answers be sure that you are looking at the most current technology available from a Certified Orthodontic Specialist.

One thing you should know is that orthodontic technology has changed considerably over the years.   With technology that is available today including Damon Braces, Invisalign and Invisalign Teen, there is no longer the need for outdated head gear and unnecessary tooth extractions. By using this current technology patients can expect braces that are more comfortable to wear, shorter treatment time and modern, comfortable retention appliances.

For non growing patients who require only mild to moderate orthodontic correction one option may be Invisalign or Invisalign Teen.  These are a series of clear removeable aligners that gradually move your teeth into place.  You just need to book an initial examiniation to see if you are eligible for this amazing technology.

If you require a more classic approach to orthodontics, then consider seeking out an office that uses Damon Braces, which we at Strathcona Orthodontics consider the most up to date and preeminent technology available.  Damon Braces reduce the need for removal of healthy teeth (extractions) and bulky outdated head gear.  These low-profile braces are more comfortable than conventional braces and deliver faster treatment time with fewer visits to the orthodontist. Through the latest technologies, Damon Braces ensure that through more gentle tooth movement you get the smile you have been dreaming of!  For more information on the Damon Difference™ just click on this link: www.damonbraces.com/qo2.php. 

At Strathcona Orthodontics, our doctor is a Certified Orthodontic Specialist, a Certified Damon Specialist and a Qualified Invisalign Provider.  We'd be delighted to chat with you about any of these amazing technologies and how they could help you achieve a wonderful, functional smile.
