Braces are used to correct alignment concerns and improve how your teeth come together over time.
At Strathpoint Dental Clinic, orthodontic treatment is planned based on how your teeth function, how they are positioned, and what you are looking to address. The goal is to guide teeth into positions that are easier to maintain and support your oral health long term.
Braces move teeth gradually by applying steady pressure over time.
This is done using brackets and wires that are adjusted at regular intervals. Each adjustment helps guide your teeth into better alignment based on your treatment plan.
Because tooth movement happens gradually, treatment is completed over a series of appointments, with progress monitored along the way. Adjustments are made based on how your teeth are responding to ensure movement continues as planned.
