Straighten Your Teeth and Boost Your Confidence with Braces in Mississauga
Looking for dental braces to straighten your smile? Braces are a type of teeth-straightening treatment used to correct misaligned teeth and improve the overall appearance and function of your bite. They consist of brackets, wires, and bands attached to your teeth that gradually shift them into the desired position over time. If you'd like to compare braces with clear aligners first, visit our orthodontics overview page or learn about Invisalign.
Importance of Dental Braces
Teeth misalignment can cause several dental and health issues, such as difficulty chewing, speech problems, and jaw pain. Braces help correct these issues and improve your overall oral health. Straighter teeth are also easier to clean, which lowers your risk of cavities and gum disease. Additionally, braces can improve your self-confidence and enhance the appearance of your smile.
What Are Braces and How Do They Work?
Braces are orthodontic appliances that use constant, gentle pressure to gradually shift your teeth into the correct position. Brackets are attached to your teeth and connected with an archwire. Over time, the wire applies pressure to the brackets, slowly moving your teeth into their ideal alignment. Small adjustments made at each visit keep that pressure working in the right direction throughout treatment.
Types of Braces
There are several types of braces available, each with their own advantages and drawbacks. Our dentists will help you choose the option that best fits your case, budget, and lifestyle.
Metal Braces
Metal braces are the most common type of braces and are made of stainless steel brackets and wires. They are typically the most affordable option and are suitable for a wide range of dental issues, from minor spacing to complex bite corrections.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces work the same way as metal braces but use tooth-coloured or clear brackets that blend in with your teeth. They're a more cosmetic option, though they tend to be more expensive and can require more frequent adjustments.
Self-Ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces use a specialized clip or bracket that holds the archwire in place, eliminating the need for elastic ties. This can make them more comfortable and reduce the number of adjustment visits needed.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are attached to the back of your teeth, making them nearly invisible from the front. They're a highly cosmetic option, though they can be more challenging to clean and may take some getting used to when speaking.

Step 1: Free Consultation
Getting started is free of charge at Sana Dentistry. Your dentist will examine your teeth, take x-rays and molds or digital scans, and put together a personalized treatment plan tailored to your bite.
Step 2: Placement and Adjustments
Brackets are bonded to your teeth and connected with an archwire. You'll come in for regular appointments — typically every four to eight weeks — so we can adjust the wires and keep your treatment progressing as planned.
Step 3: Retention
Once your teeth have reached their ideal position, your braces are removed and you'll be given a retainer to wear, which holds your teeth in place and protects your new smile long-term.
What Age Should I Get Braces?
There is never a wrong age to get braces! That said, between the ages of 9 and 14 is typically the optimal time, since the jaw and facial bones are still growing and more responsive to treatment. Adult braces are just as effective at straightening teeth, although results may take a little longer to become fully apparent.

Braces FAQ
How often will I need adjustments?
Most patients come in every four to eight weeks so we can tighten or replace wires and keep your treatment moving toward your final result. We'll set a schedule that works for your specific treatment plan.
Will braces hurt?
You may feel some pressure or mild soreness for a few days after braces are placed or adjusted, which is a normal sign that your teeth are moving. Most patients find over-the-counter pain relief and soft foods are enough to manage any discomfort.
Are there foods I should avoid with braces?
Yes — sticky, hard, or chewy foods like caramel, popcorn, hard candy, and ice can damage brackets and wires. We'll give you a full list of foods to avoid at your first appointment so you can protect your treatment progress.
How do I clean my teeth with braces on?
Brushing after every meal and flossing daily is especially important with braces, since food can get trapped around brackets and wires. We'll show you techniques and tools, like floss threaders or interdental brushes, to help keep your teeth and gums healthy throughout treatment.
How long will I need to wear braces?
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case, but typically ranges from one to three years. Your dentist will give you a personalized estimate as part of your free consultation.
