Teeth-Straightening Solutions from the Teenage Years and Beyond

Most children lose their baby teeth by the age of 13. Before they’ve lost their last few baby teeth and have most of their adult teeth, it’s easy to spot areas where teeth might overcrowd or come in crooked. This is the ideal time to begin orthodontic treatment while their permanent adult teeth are settling in.

As much as we love enhancing the natural beauty of a smile, orthodontic treatment is also crucial for oral health. Misaligned teeth and a crooked bite can be difficult to clean, uncomfortable, and even painful. With orthodontic treatment, these issues can be addressed in as little as 6 months.

    Your teen might benefit from orthodontic treatment if they have:

  • An overbite: when the upper teeth sit too far forward.
  • Excessive spacing: gaps or spaces between the teeth.
  • An underbite: when the lower teeth sit too far forward.
  • Crowding: when teeth overlap or are difficult to floss.
  • Crossbite: a bite that doesn’t mesh comfortably.
  • Pain: chronic headaches, jaw pain, or upper back and neck pain.

Orthodontic Treatment Options

There are many treatment options available depending on the patient’s needs and budget. Here are a few of the options that may be suitable:

Traditional Braces

When you think of braces, you may imagine bulky metal brackets and wires. Today’s modern dental brackets are smaller, less noticeable, and just as effective as the older designs. They are easier to clean and more comfortable.

Clear Brackets

If you want traditional braces but prefer a more discreet option, clear brackets might be the right choice. These brackets are especially popular with young adults, offering the benefits of traditional braces with a more subtle appearance.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, have become very popular. These custom made transparent trays gradually shift teeth into their ideal position. They fit snugly and can be removed to eat, brush, and floss normally, making them a great option for special occasions like school dances or class presentations.

The Cost of Orthodontic Treatment in Brampton

With a typical insurance plan, orthodontic treatment usually averages between $3,000 and $5,000 out of pocket. After an oral exam, we will provide you with an accurate quote so you can determine how much your insurance plan will cover and what your actual out of pocket expenses will be. Without insurance, orthodontic treatment typically costs about $4,000 to $6,000 or more.

    How Do We Determine the Cost of Your Orthodontic Treatment and Why Does It Seem Expensive?

    Several factors influence the cost of orthodontic treatment:

  • The current condition of the patient’s oral health, including teeth and gums.
  • How much the teeth need to move.
  • The type of orthodontic treatment chosen.
  • The length of the treatment.

Since every smile is unique, the best way to find out which treatment is right for you and how much it will cost is to schedule a consultation. After an examination, we will create a personalized treatment plan with an accurate timeline and cost.

Contact us today

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ideally, orthodontic treatment should begin before most adult teeth have come in. If you are a parent, we recommend scheduling a consultation for your teen. However, it’s never too late to start orthodontic treatment! There are options for adults as well.

Braces do not hurt when they are first applied. After they begin to shift your teeth, you might feel some discomfort. Most patients describe this as more annoying than painful. If you experience any pain or discomfort, please let us know! We can provide solutions to ensure your treatment is as comfortable as possible.

Avoid foods that may damage your braces (such as candy apples, caramel, or corn on the cob) or those that might be difficult to clean out of your braces (like caramel, gum, and popcorn). You may also want to avoid sugary or acidic foods, as they can be harder to clean off your teeth. Clear braces can be stained by certain foods like beets, curry, and macaroni and cheese.

Call us right away! Don’t wait until your next appointment.

Floss threaders and super floss are available, designed specifically for flossing braces or permanent retainers. We’d be happy to show you how to floss your braces during your next visit.

For small changes, orthodontic treatment may take as little as 6 months. For most patients, braces are typically worn for anywhere between 6 months and 2 years. After an oral exam, we can provide a more accurate estimate based on your specific needs.

Ray Lawson Family Dental truly sets the standard for what a great patient experience should feel like. From the moment you walk in, the environment is cool, calm, and beautifully maintained, which already makes a big difference for anyone who might feel nervous about a dental visit. Manmohan and Binder are incredibly kind and helpful at the front desk. They are always welcoming, openly communicative on the phone, and genuinely take the time to listen and help find times that will work. You never feel rushed or dismissed when speaking with them. The entire team comes across as highly experienced and confident in what they do. Dr. Navreen and Dr. Gurm are especially wonderful with patients. They consistently check in during procedures to make sure patients are comfortable, ask if anything hurts, and offer reassurance along the way. Their explanations are clear, and they always make sure patients know what to expect next and what to watch for after treatment. It is also really heartwarming to see how patient and encouraging they are with kids, even offering breaks and putting on children’s songs on the TV to help them feel more relaxed. Harbinder and Varinder as the dental assistants also work so seamlessly with the dentists. They are always in sync, anticipating what is needed and keeping everything running smoothly, which makes the whole experience feel very efficient. The hygienist, Haseera, is also fantastic, very gentle, thorough, and kind, which makes cleanings feel comfortable and stress free. Overall, you can tell that everyone in this office genuinely care about the people they treat, and I would absolutely recommend this practice to anyone looking for a dental office that combines expertise with compassion.

I recently had a root canal procedure at this establishment. The staff members were exceptionally polite,courteous, and the dentist herself was remarkably pleasant. Although I initially experienced some apprehension, I felt much more at ease once the procedure commenced. I wholeheartedly endorse their services to others..
