As a general dentist and orthodontist from Canada, I have had the passion for creating beautiful smiles. It is amazing how orthodontic treatment can change one’s life. We have helped numerous patients at Pavilion Dentistry find their confidence through transformed smiles, and I am looking forward to sharing with you what makes this journey so special.

Understanding What Types of Treatment an Orthodontist Provides

Think of the orthodontist as an architect for your smile. We have undertaken additional years of specialized training beyond dental school to master the art and science of aligning teeth and jaws. While general dentists can treat many dental issues, orthodontists specialize in creating harmony in your smile through carefully and precisely moving your teeth.

Modern Solutions for Every Lifestyle, Provided by an Orthodontist

Gone are the days when you would think your only choice was metal braces. Today, orthodontic treatments come in just as individually unique as our patients. Although there is absolutely nothing wrong with traditional metal braces as far as efficiency is concerned, you just may be impressed with tooth-colored ceramic braces and invisible, removable aligners that one can remove for those particular instances in your lifetime. We also offer lingual braces that sit behind your teeth-the ultimate in discretion for those who want to keep it totally private.

Beyond Straight Teeth

Orthodontic treatment has many advantages beyond an improved appearance. When your teeth fit together correctly, you will notice a big difference in your routine oral care. Consider trying to clean between crowded or overlapped teeth. It would just be like trying to vacuum between furniture that was packed tightly together. Once the teeth are adequately spaced, it is far easier to brush and floss. This can reduce the chances of cavities and gum disease by a significant percentage.

Your Face, Your Profile, Your Confidence

Ever notice how a well-balanced smile can make someone’s face light up? Orthodontic treatment isn’t just about straightening teeth-it’s a way to improve your look all over your face. By properly aligning your bite and straightening your jaw, we are able to make your whole facial features come into harmony with one another. Many of our patients tell us that until their treatment, they never realized just how much their crooked teeth impacted their overall facial structure.

Your Pathway to a New Smile

An orthodontic treatment starts the exciting journey of improving one’s smile. At Pavilion Dentistry, we take the time to talk with you about what you would like to achieve and any concerns that you may have. We will then examine your teeth and jaw and take any needed images to create a customized treatment plan in accordance with your lifestyle and needs. We’ll guide you through every step, making needed adjustments to guarantee your comfort throughout your treatment.

Investing in Yourself

Orthodontic treatments are investments into your future. Yes, it does take a monetary commitment, but the returns in oral health, better looks, and self-confidence cannot be measured in any amount. We have taken patients who never smiled-they would cover their mouth to laugh-and turned them into ones that just cannot stop smiling. That level of change will affect everything, from personal relationships to professional opportunities.

Your Smile Awaits

At Pavilion Dentistry in St. Catharines, we believe that everyone deserves to be confident in their smile. Whether for yourself or your children, if orthodontic treatment is something you consider, we are here to help you understand your options and make the best decision for your unique situation.
