A Healthier Bite. A More Confident Smile.

More Than Invisalign
Clear aligners can be an excellent option for many patients, but they are not the only way to move teeth or correct a bite.
Comprehensive orthodontic care allows us to evaluate the position of the teeth, the relationship between the upper and lower jaws, facial growth, bite function, and long-term stability. Depending on the patient's needs, treatment may involve clear aligners, braces, or another customized orthodontic approach.
Our goal is not simply to make teeth look straighter. We want to help create a healthy, functional, and stable result.
Orthodontics for Adolescents
The adolescent years are often an ideal time to address crowding, spacing, bite concerns, and developing jaw relationships.
An orthodontic assessment can help identify the following:
-
Crowded or overlapping teeth
-
Teeth that are not erupting properly
-
Excessive spacing
-
Overbites and underbites
-
Crossbites
-
Difficulty biting or chewing
-
Jaw growth concerns
-
Teeth that appear unusually prominent
-
Early or late loss of baby teeth
Not every child needs immediate treatment. In some cases, the best recommendation is simply to monitor growth and development until the timing is right.
Adult Orthodontics
It is never too late to explore a healthier, straighter smile.
Adults may consider orthodontic treatment to:
-
improve smile appearance
-
correct shifting teeth
-
address crowding or spacing
-
improve bite function
-
prepare for implants, crowns or other restorative dentistry
-
make teeth easier to brush and floss
-
correct relapse following previous orthodontic treatment
We understand that appearance, comfort, and convenience matter. Depending on your clinical needs, clear aligners or discreet orthodontic options may be available.
Braces or Clear Aligners?
Traditional Braces
Braces provide precise and predictable control over tooth movement and can be used to treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns.
They may be recommended for patients with:
-
significant crowding
-
complex tooth movements
-
rotated teeth
-
bite discrepancies
-
teeth requiring more detailed control
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners use a customized series of removable trays to gradually reposition the teeth.
They may appeal to patients who want:
-
a less noticeable treatment option
-
removable appliances
-
easier brushing and flossing
-
fewer dietary restrictions
-
a treatment approach suited to an active or professional lifestyle
Clear aligners must be worn consistently to work effectively and may not be appropriate for every orthodontic concern.
What to Expect at Your Orthodontic Consultation

-

-

-

-
a discussion of suitable treatment options
-
an estimated treatment timeline
-

Our team will take the time to explain what we see and answer your questions before treatment begins.
Advanced Orthodontic Records
Our Stoney Creek Mountain clinic is equipped with cephalometric X-ray technology, which allows us to evaluate the relationship between the teeth, jaws, and facial structures as part of comprehensive orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.
Digital scans may also be used to create accurate models of your teeth without traditional impression material in many cases.
Orthodontics Within Your Dental Home
Orthodontic treatment sometimes needs to be coordinated with other dental care. Because Fraccaro Dental Group provides a broad range of services, our dentists, hygienists, and clinical teams can communicate and collaborate throughout your care.
This may be especially helpful when orthodontics is coordinated with:
-
regular cleanings and preventive care
-
fillings or other restorative treatment
-
cosmetic dentistry
-
dental implants
-
crowns and bridges
It is one more way we are building your family's One-Stop Smile Shop™.
