At Aurora Gateway Dental Care, everyone deserves a smile they can feel proud of. Our orthodontic services focus on straightening and aligning teeth for a healthier, more beautiful smile, one that looks great and functions perfectly.
Whether you’re considering traditional braces or Invisalign® clear aligners, our team is here to guide you through a comfortable treatment journey that aligns with your goals and lifestyle.
Orthodontics isn’t only about appearance, it’s about improving overall dental health and function. Crooked or crowded teeth can make cleaning more difficult, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Bite misalignments can also lead to uneven wear, jaw pain, or speech issues.
By aligning your teeth and bite properly, orthodontic treatment helps:
At Aurora Gateway Dental Care, we take a patient-first approach, ensuring every treatment is comfortable, effective, and tailored to your unique smile.
Traditional metal braces remain one of the most effective and reliable ways to correct complex alignment issues.
These braces use metal brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into the desired position. While newer, more discreet options exist, traditional braces are often the best choice for patients with significant bite or crowding concerns.
Modern braces are more comfortable, sleeker, and less noticeable than ever before, and at Aurora Gateway Dental Care, we make the experience as easy and positive as possible.
Benefits of Traditional Braces:
Our team will monitor your progress closely and make gentle adjustments along the way, ensuring your treatment stays on track for the best results.
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
If you prefer a more discreet approach, Invisalign® Clear Aligners offer a nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth, without brackets or wires.
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, removable trays that gradually move your teeth into alignment. Each aligner is made from smooth, BPA-free plastic for a comfortable fit. You can remove them to eat, drink, brush, and floss, making them a convenient and lifestyle-friendly option.
Benefits of Invisalign:
Ideal for both teens and adults, Invisalign allows you to transform your smile confidently while maintaining your everyday routine.
Retainers and Post-Treatment Care
After your orthodontic treatment, we provide custom retainers to help maintain your new smile. Retainers are essential for keeping your teeth in their corrected positions and preventing them from shifting back.
Our team will recommend a retainer schedule tailored to your case and provide tips on how to care for and clean your retainer effectively.
Here’s what you can expect:
Your comfort and confidence are our top priorities every step of the way.
While orthodontic treatment can begin as early as age 7, there’s no age limit. Teens and adults alike can benefit from braces or aligners, it’s never too late to improve your smile.
The duration depends on the complexity of your case. Most treatments last between 12 to 24 months, though minor cases may finish sooner.
You may feel mild pressure or discomfort for a few days after adjustments, but this is temporary. We’ll guide you on how to stay comfortable during treatment.
Patients with braces typically visit every 4–6 weeks for adjustments, while Invisalign patients come in about every 6–8 weeks for progress checks.
Good hygiene is essential, brush and floss regularly, avoid sticky or hard foods, and attend all your scheduled appointments for the best results.
