At the Golden Dental Centre, we have two Invisalign® providers. Invisalign® treatment is made up of a series of clear aligners that are worn for one or two weeks at a time. Typically it takes about 25 aligners to complete the adjustment process, but it can sometimes be more depending on the amount of adjustment needed. What helps the teeth move are small tooth-coloured attachments that are strategically shaped and placed on the tooth. The aligners attach to them and use them to pull or push the teeth where they need to be.

Commonly known as metal braces, this type of treatment uses metal brackets and wires to move, rotate and correct orthodontic issues. Although less common now, sometimes fixed braces might be recommended over the removable, clear aligner kind depending on the particular patient’s case.

Used for kids as a phase one treatment option, this appliance corrects spacing issues by expanding the patient pallet. Each week, a patient uses a special metal key to open the pallet expender one turn, to slowly expand the appliance. The best part? Patients get to choose the colour!

This device is used for young children who are still getting adult teeth. With a specialized treatment plan, the appliance helps kids’ jaws grow correctly, to help prevent future orthodontic issues in the future.
