Orthodontics Mississauga

Orthodontic Treatment in Mississauga

Straighter teeth, healthier smiles, and treatment options for every age and budget.

What Is Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on correcting crooked, crowded, or misaligned teeth and jaws. At Sana Dentistry, we use appliances such as traditional braces and clear aligners to gently and gradually move your teeth into their ideal position, improving both the way your smile looks and the way your bite functions.

Orthodontic treatment isn't just for teenagers. People of any age can benefit, whether you're a parent bringing in a child for their first orthodontic evaluation or an adult finally ready to straighten teeth that have shifted over the years. Straight teeth are easier to clean, less prone to decay and gum disease, and less likely to be damaged by injury or abnormal wear.

Treatment Options at a Glance

There are two main ways to straighten your teeth at Sana Dentistry. Every case is different, so the best way to know which one fits your smile is a free consultation — but here's a quick side-by-side to get you started.

Traditional Braces

Metal, ceramic, self-ligating, and lingual options. A proven, affordable way to correct even complex bite issues.

How Orthodontic Treatment Works

Every orthodontic journey starts with a free consultation, where your dentist examines your teeth and bite, takes any necessary x-rays or scans, and talks through your goals. From there, we build a treatment plan using either fixed appliances (braces) or removable clear aligners (Invisalign), both of which work the same basic way: applying gentle, consistent pressure to slowly guide your teeth into their correct position.

Treatment time typically ranges from one to three years depending on the complexity of your case, your age, and which treatment method you choose. You'll visit us periodically throughout treatment so we can monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed. The specifics of each appliance — including step-by-step process, wear time, and appointment schedule — differ between braces and Invisalign, so visit each treatment page for the full details.

Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontics

Braces or Invisalign — which is right for me?

It depends on your bite, your lifestyle, and your preferences. Braces are often the better choice for more complex corrections and tend to be more affordable, while Invisalign is popular with adults and image-conscious teens who want a nearly invisible, removable option. Many cases can be treated with either — the best way to know for sure is a free consultation, where we'll assess your teeth and walk you through the pros and cons of each for your specific situation.

Is orthodontic treatment covered by insurance?

Many dental insurance plans include partial coverage for orthodontic treatment, though the amount varies widely by provider and plan. Our team can help you understand your coverage and will always provide upfront, transparent pricing so you know exactly what to expect before starting treatment.

At what age should I bring my child in for an orthodontic evaluation?

Most orthodontic associations recommend a first evaluation by age 7, even if treatment doesn't start right away. This allows us to catch developing issues early, while there's still room to guide jaw growth and tooth eruption. That said, it's never too late — plenty of our patients begin treatment as teens or adults.
