Orthodontic Treatment
A straighter smile is more than just cosmetic—it supports healthier teeth, improved function, and long-term oral wellness. At Straven Family Dentistry in Georgetown, Ontario, we offer orthodontic treatments designed to gently align your teeth and enhance your overall smile.
Whether you’re considering braces for your child or exploring clear aligners for yourself, our team provides personalized, comfortable care to help you achieve beautifully aligned teeth at any age.
If your goals include repairing or replacing teeth along with alignment improvements, explore our Restorative Dentistry and Cosmetic Dentistry pages for complementary treatments.
Why Orthodontics Matters
Orthodontic treatment corrects issues with tooth alignment, bite, and jaw position. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, less prone to wear, and improve both comfort and appearance.
Orthodontics can address:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
- Teeth that protrude or don’t fit together properly
- Jaw discomfort related to misalignment
Aligned teeth support better oral health and a confident, balanced smile.
Orthodontic Treatment Options We Offer
Traditional Braces
Modern metal braces are more comfortable and streamlined than ever before. They are highly effective for children, teens, and adults requiring comprehensive alignment.
Clear Aligner Therapy
Clear aligners offer a discreet, removable option for straightening teeth. Ideal for adults and teens, aligners allow you to eat, brush, and floss normally while achieving gradual, predictable results.
Early Orthodontic Assessment (Children)
Early evaluation helps identify bite issues before they progress. If treatment isn’t needed right away, we’ll monitor your child’s development and recommend the right timing for care.
Adult Orthodontics
It’s never too late to improve your smile. More adults than ever are choosing orthodontics for better aesthetics, comfort, and long-term dental health.
If tooth replacement is part of your treatment plan, we may coordinate with our Dental Implants and Dentures services.
