Traditional Braces

If you envision straighter teeth when you think of your oasis, you might want to consider your orthodontic options. In addition to Invisalign, Oasispark Dental offers more traditional braces made of metal, ceramic or acrylic. These are typically bonded to your teeth, placing a constant but gentle force in a carefully controlled direction to slowly move them into a corrected position. 

Brackets are also available in a clear colour nowadays, while wires can be made of materials that make them less noticeable than in the past. Traditional, yes, but modernized accordingly. Braces with the latest materials offer improved functional methods, and they even move teeth faster with less discomfort to patients. Contact our Newmarket dental practice today to schedule a consultation for yourself or your loved one.

Kids and braces

At Oasispark Dental, we know children can fear the dentist and might resist the thought of orthodontics—so, instead, we want to be a place where they can relax and find solace. Trusting our recommendations is essential, but so is getting to enjoy our fun environment alongside our friendly dental team.

Although patients of all ages can benefit from metal traditional braces many orthodontic issues can indeed be corrected in children more effectively. That being said, orthodontics also works best once children have all of their adult teeth. We typically say patients will require braces for up to three years, but possibly for as short a span as one year.

Some of the conditions we can work to correct with metal traditional braces:

• Overbites
• Underbites
• Crossbites
• Severe crowding
• Severe protrusion
• Narrow jaws

Orthodontics can also help offset potential problems such as thumb-sucking, speech problems, tongue-thrusting, and even the need for possible extractions or sustained dental trauma. Retainers then add to the effectiveness of teeth straightening and maintaining the progress that braces make.

We will also encourage your children along their orthodontic journey to: 

• consistently practice good oral hygiene, 
• use rubber bands on their braces properly, 
• avoid certain foods and drinks that can cause damage to them, 
• and visit Oasispark Dental needed for progress appointments to help us ensure everything is going well.
