Orthodontic Treatment in Scarborough, ON
Orthodontic Treatment Scarborough
A Personalized Approach to Straighter Teeth
Orthodontic treatment straightens teeth and improves how the upper and lower teeth fit together when you bite. It addresses concerns such as crowded teeth, gaps, crooked teeth, and bite problems that can affect chewing and everyday oral function. A well-aligned bite also makes daily oral care easier.
At BSRV Dental Office, our dentists provide orthodontic treatment for teens and adults, with many adult patients seeking care to improve alignment or address teeth that have shifted over time. We’ll discuss your concerns, assess your teeth and bite, and explain suitable treatment options.
Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic treatment does more than straighten teeth. It can improve how your teeth fit together, make daily oral care easier, and help protect your teeth from avoidable wear.
A Straighter, Healthier-Looking Smile
Correcting crooked or crowded teeth can create a more even smile and help you feel more comfortable showing your teeth.
Easier Brushing and Flossing
Straightening crowded teeth can make tight spaces easier to clean. Better plaque removal helps reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease.
Better Bite and Less Uneven Tooth Wear
When your upper and lower teeth meet more evenly, chewing can feel more comfortable. Correcting certain bite problems can also reduce uneven pressure on teeth and help protect enamel, which does not grow back once lost.

What to Expect During Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic treatment starts with an assessment, followed by a personalized plan, regular progress checks, and retainers to help maintain your results.
1
Consultation and Assessment
Your dentist examines your teeth, bite, and jaw alignment to understand your concerns. Digital X-rays or scans may be recommended when needed to assess tooth position and plan treatment.
2
Personalized Treatment Plan
Your dentist explains suitable treatment options, the appliance involved, and the expected timeline. Treatment often takes around 18–24 months, although the actual duration depends on the alignment issues and treatment approach.
3
Treatment, Progress Checks, and Retainers
Once treatment begins, braces may cause pressure or soreness for a few days, while clear aligners can feel tight when you start a new set. Follow-up visits help your dentist monitor progress and make adjustments when needed. After active treatment, retainers help keep your teeth in their new positions.
Is Orthodontic Treatment Right for You?
Who Is a Good Candidate for Orthodontic Treatment?
Crowded or Crooked Teeth
If your teeth overlap or look uneven, orthodontic treatment can help improve alignment and make cleaning between teeth easier.
Bite Problems
An overbite, underbite, or crossbite can affect how your teeth meet. Treatment can help correct certain bite problems and improve chewing function.
Gaps Between Teeth
Noticeable spaces between teeth may affect your smile or allow food to collect. Orthodontic treatment can help close suitable gaps.
Types of Orthodontic Treatments
Different orthodontic options address different alignment and bite concerns. The right choice depends on your teeth, treatment needs, and the results you want to achieve.
- Metal Braces: Traditional metal braces use brackets and wires to guide teeth into better positions. They can treat a wide range of alignment and bite problems, including complex cases.
- Ceramic or Clear Braces: These braces use tooth-coloured or clear brackets that blend more naturally with your teeth, making them a less noticeable alternative to metal braces.
- Clear Aligners: These removable trays gradually move teeth and can be taken out for eating, brushing, and flossing. They are suitable for selected mild-to-moderate alignment cases.
- Retainers: Retainers help keep teeth in their corrected positions after active treatment. Without wearing them as directed, teeth can gradually shift over time.
Everything You Need to Know
Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does Orthodontic Treatment Cost in Toronto?
The cost depends on the type of appliance, the complexity of your alignment concerns, and the expected treatment duration. Ask about an initial consultation to discuss your needs and receive a personalized estimate.
Braces or Clear Aligners: Which Is Better?
Neither option is best for everyone. The right choice depends on your bite, tooth alignment, and case complexity, which your dentist assesses before recommending suitable treatment.
Does Orthodontic Treatment Hurt?
You may feel pressure or mild soreness after braces are adjusted or when you begin wearing a new set of aligners. This usually settles within a few days, but contact your dental team if pain is severe or persistent.
How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Take?
Treatment often takes around 18–24 months, although some cases take less or more time. The duration depends on the alignment problems and how your teeth respond to treatment.
Am I Too Old for Braces?
No. Adults can receive orthodontic treatment at different ages if their teeth and gums are healthy enough. A dental assessment helps determine which options are suitable for your needs.
How Often Are Orthodontic Check-Up Visits?
Follow-up visits are commonly scheduled every few weeks, depending on the appliance and stage of treatment. Your dentist will explain the recommended schedule and monitor your progress.
