Getting braces isn’t just for teenagers anymore. As a dentist at Pavilion Dentistry, I have seen many adults walk through our doors, a little apprehensive about braces, who leave absolutely thrilled with the decision to transform their smiles.

The Evolution of Modern Braces

Remember those chunky metal braces from years ago? Well, think again. The options in orthodontics today are the difference between some clunky, olden-day flip phone and a modern smartphone. We’ve seen some incredible advances that make today’s treatment options more comfortable, discreet, and efficient than ever. Your Smile, Your Choice

Now, about options: from barely there to a little bit of bling, we got you covered. Clear ceramic braces blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, while modern metal braces are sleeker and more comfortable than their predecessors. And yes, we even offer fast braces and removable aligners for those special occasions when you’d rather not have any braces on at all.

Breaking the Age Barrier with Braces

You know what puts a smile on my face? When a patient comes in and says, “I always wanted braces, but I thought I was too old.” Then they realize that age is just a number when it comes to getting their dream smile. At Pavilion Dentistry, we’re seeing more adults than ever take control of their oral health with orthodontic treatment.

More Than Just a Pretty Smile

A beautiful smile is obviously something to look forward to, but the advantages of braces go way beyond that. Try to floss between a set of crowded teeth sometime-it’s like trying to negotiate a maze! The process of everyday oral hygiene is a lot less aggravating when your teeth are in line, reducing chances of cavities and gum issues along the way.

The Adult Experience

Getting braces as an adult is really quite different from what you might remember from your teenage years. For one thing, you’re making this choice for yourself, which typically means you’re more invested in the outcome. Our adult patients often tell us they wish they’d done it sooner!

Your Time, Your Terms

Busy and worried about fitting treatment into your busy schedule? I get it. That’s why we work with you to create a treatment plan that fits your life-not the other way around. Whether you’re presenting in the boardroom or attending key social events, we’ll help you navigate your orthodontic journey with confidence.

Making It Work

One of the biggest concerns I hear about is how it’s going to affect professional life. But here’s the thing: with options available today, most people won’t even notice you are wearing braces. In addition, we offer flexible appointment times to work around your schedule because we know life doesn’t stop for orthodontic treatment.

The Road to Your New Smile

It is easier to get started than you might imagine. It starts with a friendly chat in our St. Catharines office where we will talk about your wishes and concerns. We will be working together on a treatment plan that will suit your lifestyle, budget, and smile aspirations
