Dental braces in Oshawa
Not everyone is born with straight teeth and a well-aligned jaw. Traditional braces gently move your teeth into place, so your family can bite, chew and smile with ease.
Traditional braces still straighten smiles beautifully
You have plenty of ways to straighten your teeth, and choosing one can feel overwhelming. Our Oshawa team will walk you through your options so you can make an informed decision.
Clear options like Invisalign have grown popular, but traditional braces are still widely used today. We have helped many patients get the healthy, straight smile they always wanted.
The process is simple. Small brackets are bonded to your teeth and joined by a light wire that applies gentle pressure, straightening your teeth over the course of your treatment.
What braces can do for you
Braces do more than straighten. They can make everyday biting and chewing more comfortable too.
Re-align your teeth
Move crooked teeth into place for a better smile. Braces can also treat relapses from earlier treatment.
Close gaps
Bring spaced-out teeth together and help with problems caused by missing teeth.
Comfortable biting and chewing
Properly positioned teeth make eating easier and more comfortable.
Less wear and tear
Correct positioning helps minimize the wear that comes from teeth meeting at the wrong angles.
Avoid jaw surgery
In some cases, braces can reduce or avoid the need for jaw surgery.
Bracket or wire bothering you?
If a bracket or wire causes sudden pain or discomfort between visits, our emergency dentist team will try to see you the same day to fix it.

How do braces straighten teeth?
Small brackets are bonded to your teeth and joined by a light wire that applies gentle pressure. Over the course of treatment, that pressure moves your teeth into a straighter position.
Can my kids choose colours for their braces?
Yes. Kids and teens can have fun with their braces by picking colours for their elastics.
What happens once my teeth are straight?
Braces are often paired with cosmetic dentistry once your teeth are aligned, for a fuller smile makeover.

Call us. Our emergency dentist team will try to see you the same day to fix it.
