To find out how our dentists in Île-Perrot can help you address those teeth or jaw problems bothering you and threatening your oral health, ask for an orthodontic consultation.

Orthodontic Consultation: An Essential Step

Before even considering the possibility of getting an orthodontic treatment, you first need to consult a qualified professional, namely the general dentists at Centre Dentaire Don Quichotte. Your dentist needs to collect important information during a complete examination of your teeth and jaws and with help from X-rays, photos, etc. In light of this information, he will be able to recommend the treatment best suited for your situation, expectations and budget.

Orthodontic consultations are for people of all ages. Nonetheless, we advise parents to consult with their children around the age of 7. It helps ensure the teeth and jaws develop properly and, otherwise, it allows the dentist to start an orthodontic treatment to intercept any problem detected.

Braces with metal brackets

To fix overlapping or misalignment problems in the teeth and jaws, metal brackets are cemented to the teeth. Teeth are connected to each other with a wire, the orthodontic bow, which inserts in each of the brackets. This system is generally held in place with ligatures. The desired outcome is achieved by modifying the orthodontic bow over the course of treatment.

Braces with clear brackets

They work in a similar way to traditional braces with metal brackets. Nonetheless, the orthodontic bow and brackets can be made of ceramic or another material whose colour better matches with natural teeth. This type of braces offers more discretion for the client, without decreasing efficiency.
