A straighter smile can make a big difference, not just in how you look, but in your overall oral health. At Fortis Dental, we offer orthodontic treatments, including traditional braces and Invisalign, to help correct misaligned teeth and bite issues. Whether you’re looking to improve your smile or relieve discomfort caused by alignment problems, we’re here to help.
Why orthodontic treatment matters
Orthodontic care isn’t just cosmetic. Straightening your teeth can:
- Make brushing and flossing easier
- Reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease
- Prevent uneven wear on teeth
- Help relieve jaw pain and bite issues
- Improve overall comfort and function
Metal braces
Traditional metal braces are a reliable and effective way to straighten teeth. Using a system of brackets and wires, braces gradually guide your teeth into proper alignment over time. They’re a great option for treating more complex cases and are suitable for patients of all ages. Treatment timelines vary, but many patients complete their treatment in about 18 to 24 months.
Invisalign treatment
Invisalign offers a more discreet way to straighten your teeth. Instead of brackets and wires, this treatment uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners that gently move your teeth into place. Invisalign aligners are:
- Nearly invisible when worn
- Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing
- Comfortable and easy to use
- Designed to fit seamlessly into your daily routine
Which option is right for you?
The best orthodontic treatment depends on your specific needs, lifestyle, and goals. Some patients benefit from the precision of traditional braces, while others prefer the flexibility and appearance of Invisalign. During your consultation, we’ll assess your smile and recommend the option that’s right for you.
