Orthodontic services in East Gwillimbury for straight teeth and a healthy bite

Did you know that straight teeth have many benefits beyond providing you with a great smile? In addition to looking aesthetically pleasing, straight teeth and a properly aligned bite have many oral health benefits, helping protect your teeth, jaw, and joints from unnecessary stress and helping you clean your teeth and gums better. At Harvest Hills Dental Care, we provide a variety of customized orthodontic services for patients in the East Gwillimbury, ON area to help improve their smiles’ health, and appearance.

Why orthodontic treatment may be needed

Orthodontic treatment helps bring the teeth and jaw into proper alignment. When they are misaligned, it makes it more difficult to sufficiently clean your teeth and gums, contributing to unnecessary decay and disease. Additionally, misalignment of your teeth and/or jaw places extra stresses on all of the oral structures – muscles, joints, teeth, and jaw bone – which can lead to premature wear and tear on your teeth, TMJ disorder, and even headaches, neck, shoulder, and back pain. Some of the common manifestations of misalignment include:

• Overcrowded teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Crooked teeth
• Overbite
• Underbite
• Open bite
• Crossbite
• A misplaced midline

Modern orthodontic options 

At Harvest Hills Dental Care, we offer a variety of modern orthodontics services to meet a wide array of patient needs.

• Traditional braces consist of brackets and wires that shift the teeth into their proper position and can be accompanied by rubber bands to gently align the jaw.

• For patients who are concerned about the appearance of metal braces, Invisalign® clear aligners can be a great choice, discreetly yet effectively aligning your teeth and jaw.
• Expanders are typically used for younger patients whose dental arch is not large enough for their adult teeth to grow in the proper position; early intervention can help reduce the need for more extensive orthodontics or oral surgery later on.

We take pride in providing orthodontic care to patients of all ages at Harvest Hills Dental Care, tailoring your treatment to your specific needs and preferences. To schedule an orthodontics consultation for you or your child, call our East Gwillimbury office today at (365) 659-1008!
