Why Braces?
While the most obvious benefit of orthodontic treatment is a beautiful and straight smile, there is more to orthodontics than their aesthetic advantages. Well-aligned teeth not only increase your self-confidence; they make it easier to maintain good oral hygiene as they are easier to clean and care for. Additionally, straight teeth can help prevent abnormal wear of tooth surfaces, chewing and speaking difficulties, and excess stress placed on your gums and bone tissues.
How Does Orthodontic Treatment Work?
Orthodontics come in a wide variety of options and materials—metal, ceramic, or plastic are the most common. Besides, they can be fixed or removable. Nonetheless, despite the type of orthodontic treatment chosen, braces place a gentle force to shift your teeth into their correct positions carefully.
The braces of today are much more aesthetically pleasing, smaller, sleeker, less visible, and more comfortable. You can choose from clear (ceramic) braces or metallic as well as fun bands colours or, brackets without any elastic ties. Also, modern braces near you have less noticeable wires, and the patient’s teeth can move quicker with less discomfort.

Our dentists in Winnipeg, MB, will work with you to establish a custom-treatment plan that will help you reach your best aesthetic and functional results possible.
Duration of Treatment
The most ideal time to seek orthodontic treatment is dependent on each individual. The stage of growth and development of your teeth and jaws are two factors to consider. Teeth that are healthy respond just as well to orthodontic forces when compared to younger patients. This means orthodontic treatment can be successful at every age! None the less, 4 out of 5 patients who seek orthodontic treatment are adults.
Once your orthodontist has determined that it is the ideal time to begin, treatment typically ranges from one to three years, depending on the severity of the problem. Diligent compliance with recommendations, such as the prescribed wear of rubber bands or appliances, is an important factor in achieving the most efficient treatment.
