Teeth Straightening

Teeth Straightening is normally a dental procedure young teenagers experience. Most parents understand the importance of teeth straightening and the many health benefits this provides their children. However, as adults age, teeth can sometimes shift and smiles can become compromised again. 

The advancements in technology have made teeth straightening a procedure that is worth considering even as adults. The speed of teeth straightening has greatly improved as well as allowing minimal disruption in our daily lives.

If your smile is holding you back from enjoying some of the best moments in your life, feel free to call Dr. James Malouf and he will gladly advise you on the best teeth straightening options for you.

Invisalign

Invisalign is a modern and effective teeth straightening treatment that provides an aesthetically pleasing and more convenient alternative to braces. Teeth are straightened using a custom-made series of aligners created for your unique case. With clear, smooth and comfortable plastic your aligner trays are virtually invisible.

Invisalign’s smooth, clear plastic is one of the main reasons it has become so popular. It allows you to have your teeth straightened without anyone noticing. No matter what social or professional situation you find yourself in, Invisalign is so discreet that no one will notice. There are no metal brackets, no wires and no bands. You simply put in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks until your treatment is complete. Invisalign helps you achieve a straight smile without interfering in your life.

Orthodontics

Orthodontics is the treatment for improper bites (malocclusion). If untreated improper bites, or malocclusion, can cause tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationship, or both.

Orthodontic treatment can shift the teeth into a more ideal position and can also influence the control and modification of facial growth. This can be carried out as a preventative treatment or for purely aesthetic reasons with regards to improving the general appearance of your teeth increasing confidence and self-esteem.

Having misaligned, crowded or overlapping teeth can affect people’s overall appearance and confidence. This can also be a major contributor to ongoing issues such as tooth decay and gum disease. Teeth may also spread in the mouth and find themselves in the wrong place. This is often an issue for children whose adult teeth battle for position in the mouth.

Although highly complex orthodontics is most frequently performed by specialists, Dr. James Malouf is more than capable to deliver results in most cases, and possibly at a lower cost. As part of our consultation, we  identify any potential issues and then advise the most suitable course of action.
