— WHO IS THIS FOR?

Who is a candidate for orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontics is no longer just for teenagers or just metal braces. If you are wondering whether your case is a good fit, here are the situations where we refer patients to our trusted local orthodontist for treatment.

  • Crooked, crowded, or visibly misaligned teeth that bother you
  • Gaps between teeth you'd like to close without veneers
  • A bite that doesn't fit together right (overbite, underbite, crossbite)
  • Teeth that have shifted with age, even after previous orthodontic work
  • A teenager whose adult teeth are coming in misaligned or crowded

Modern orthodontics treats almost every alignment issue we see including cases that would have required jaw surgery or extractions just 15 years ago. At your consultation in Barrie, we use 3D scans and treatment planning software to show you what's possible for your specific case before any decision is made.

— OUR APPROACH

Assessment, referral, and coordinated care

We start with a thorough dental assessment, photos, and a 3D digital scan to understand your case. From there, we recommend a treatment direction and refer you to a trusted local orthodontist for placement, whether that is traditional braces, self-ligating brackets, or clear aligners. The orthodontist confirms the right system for your case.

Throughout your treatment, we stay involved as your family dentist: cleanings, check-ups, and any restorative or cosmetic work happen at our office, with the orthodontist plan in mind. This continuity keeps everything coordinated, with no fragmented information between providers.

After active treatment, you keep your retainer schedule with the orthodontist and continue your routine dental care with us.

  • Coordinated dental care during your orthodontic treatment
  • Retention and ongoing dental check-ups after treatment

— TYPES & OPTIONS

Orthodontic options for every kind of alignment case

Different cases call for different systems. Your orthodontist will confirm the right tool for your case, but here is the range you may hear about:

Clear Aligners (Invisalign-Style)

Removable, transparent trays you wear 22 hours a day. Nearly invisible during work, meals, and social events. Ideal for adults and motivated teens with mild-to-moderate alignment issues and the most discreet option available.

Self-Ligating Brackets

Modern fixed braces with built-in clips that hold the wire, no elastics needed. Fewer adjustment visits, less friction during tooth movement, and often shorter overall treatment time compared to traditional braces.

Traditional Metal Braces

The most reliable option for complex cases, severe crowding, bite correction, or significant jaw alignment work. Modern metal braces are smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than the bulky versions older patients remember.

There's no "best" system in absolute terms, there's only the best system for your specific case, your timeline, and your lifestyle. We'll show you all three options at your consultation and explain the trade-offs honestly.

— BENEFITS

Why orthodontic treatment is about more than appearances

Most patients come to orthodontics in Barrie wanting straighter teeth and that's a perfectly valid goal. But proper alignment delivers benefits that go far beyond aesthetics. Here's what timely orthodontic treatment actually changes :

Easier to Clean, Less Decay

Crowded and misaligned teeth trap food and bacteria in spots toothbrushes can't easily reach. Straight teeth dramatically lower your lifetime risk of cavities, gum disease, and the major dental work that follows.

A Bite That Actually Works

Misaligned bites cause uneven wear, jaw fatigue, headaches, and sometimes long-term TMJ issues. Correcting the bite, not just the appearance, protects your teeth and jaw for the next 50 years.

Confidence That Doesn't Wear Off

Unlike whitening or veneers, orthodontic results don't fade with time. Once your teeth are aligned and your retainer maintains the position, the confidence you walk away with stays with you.

Often Faster Than You Expect

Modern orthodontics especially clear aligners and self-ligating systems typically completes in 6-18 months for adults, not the 2-3 years many people assume. Mild cases sometimes finish in under six months.

— PRICING & INSURANCE

Orthodontics cost in Barrie & insurance coverage

Orthodontic treatment cost depends on the system and complexity, and is set by the orthodontist who delivers your treatment. We give you a clear initial assessment and a referral with your treatment direction, so you can have an informed conversation about cost.

Insurance, CDCP & Financing

Many private dental insurance plans include partial orthodontic coverage. The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) may also cover eligible patients. Your orthodontist will confirm the exact estimate and what your insurance reimburses.
