Orthodontic Consultation at Point Chevalier Family Dentist

Invisalign:

Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. Here's a brief overview of how it works: 

• Custom-made aligners are created based on impressions of your teeth.
• You wear each aligner for 20-22 hours a day, removing them to eat, brush, and floss.
• Every 1-2 weeks, you switch to a new aligner, gradually shifting your teeth into place.
• Treatment typically lasts 5-9 months depending on complexity

• Nearly invisible aligners for discreet treatment
• Removable for easy oral hygiene and eating
• Comfortable and smooth aligners
• No brackets, wires, or food restrictions
• Quick and easy adjustments

Invisalign can address various orthodontic issues, including:

• Crowded or spaced teeth
• Overbites, underbites, or crossbites
• Teeth straightening for cosmetic reasons

Fastbraces:

Fastbraces is a type of orthodontic treatment that uses advanced technology to straighten teeth faster and more efficiently than traditional braces. Here are some key features of Fastbraces:

• Faster treatment time: Typically 5-9 months depending on complexity.
• Less frequent adjustments: Usually every 3-4 weeks.
• Triangular-shaped brackets: Allow for greater control and movement.
• Single wire technology: Simplifies treatment and reduces friction.
• Comfortable: Less pressure and discomfort compared to traditional braces.
• Aesthetic: Clear or tooth-coloured ceramic brackets for discreet treatment. 

How it works:

• Initial consultation: Assess teeth alignment and determine suitability.
• Fitting: Attach Fastbraces brackets and wire.
• Adjustments: Regular check-ups to adjust and tighten.
• Results: Noticeable improvement in teeth alignment within weeks. 

Fastbraces can address various orthodontic issues, including:

• Overcrowded teeth
• Gapped teeth
• Overbites
• Underbites
• Crossbites
