Your Coquitlam Invisalign® Provider
We know that a confident smile can have a positive effect. We offer traditional braces as well as Invisalign® to straighten your teeth and help you get the smile you deserve.
How Orthodontics Work
Orthodontics are a great solution for those looking to straighten their smiles.
This goal is achieved using braces or clear aligners that put gentle pressure on your teeth to move them into the correct position over a period of months or years.
We offer traditional braces, using metal wires and elastics or Invisalign. Our team can discuss the options with you and help you determine which route you'd like to go.
If you are ready for orthodontics or want to learn more, we are at your service! We offer flexible scheduling within the comfort of our practice, so contact us today to get started.
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal or ceramic braces have been used for decades to effectively straighten teeth and correct bite issues. Over the years, significant advancements in orthodontic technology have made modern braces more streamlined, less noticeable, and far more comfortable than earlier versions. Today’s braces are designed with smoother materials and smaller brackets, making them easier to maintain and more aesthetically pleasing.
How Braces Straighten Teeth
Braces work by applying consistent, gentle pressure to the teeth over an extended period of time. This steady force gradually shifts the teeth into their correct positions, improving both alignment and overall oral health.
As the teeth begin to move, the bone surrounding them responds by slowly remodelling. This process allows the bone to reshape and adapt, securely holding the teeth in their new alignment.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign braces may be a great solution for those looking to have their smiles corrected without undergoing the process of traditional braces. At Austin Heights Dental Centre, we understand that many of our Coquitlam patients are interested in straightening their teeth.
We are pleased to offer this treatment, which involves using clear, removable inserts. When you visit us for Invisalign® braces, we will first evaluate the structure of your teeth in order to determine whether you are a good candidate for this form of treatment.
We will then discuss the process and work to address each and every one of your questions. Your treatment time may take several months, but throughout the process, we will be attentive to your needs and concerns and ensure you understand the details and instructions of your treatment.
