Early Orthodontics

The use of appliances early in life is often recommended to guide the development of the jaw and prevent complex orthodontic problems. Palate expanders can be used to widen jaw arches, ensuring that adult teeth have enough space when erupting. This helps to reduce the amount of orthodontic treatment necessary at later ages to achieve a straight smile.

For patients in need of less extensive treatment, we also provide space maintainers. Not only can successful early orthodontic care limit the amount of treatment necessary in teen and adult years, but can eliminate the need for braces entirely for some patients. 

Braces for Adults and Children

Braces can be used to correct a variety of issues. In modern orthodontics, appliances are less noticeable than ever before. The issues that can be corrected by braces include:

• Overbite
• Underbite
• Crossbite
• Teeth Spacing
• Teeth Rotation
• Crowding

Invisalign® Clear Aligners

As an alternative to traditional braces for adults with mild to moderate misalignment, Dr. Kal Dhaliwal offers orthodontic treatment through Invisalign.  

This tray-based appliance is made using detailed impressions of a patient’s bite and gently pushes the teeth into better alignment with each successive set of trays. Each set of trays is worn for about two weeks, before changing to the new pair.

Made from a durable thermoplastic, Invisalign aligner trays are nearly invisible when worn, allowing patients to straighten their teeth without affecting the natural aesthetic appeal of their smiles. These trays can also be removed when eating or brushing the teeth, so patients are able to continue their regular diets and do not require specialized tools to floss.

Removable and Bonded Retainers

After patients have undergone orthodontic treatment, retainers are necessary to keep teeth from shifting out of alignment. At Alpha Dental Centre, we offer both removable and bonded retainers depending on the needs and preferences of our patients.

Removable retainers allow patients to enjoy easy dental hygiene and continue eating their favorite foods. Bonded retainers are placed on the back of the teeth, so patients do not have to worry about putting the appliance back in place after meals or brushing.
