Traditional Braces
in Northeast Brampton
Traditional braces remain one of the most reliable and powerful ways to straighten teeth. At Gardenbrooke Dental in Northeast Brampton, we offer metal braces for children, teens and adults who need precise control over tooth movement and bite correction.
What Are Traditional Braces?
Traditional braces use small brackets bonded to the teeth and connected by an archwire. Modern brackets are smaller and wires more flexible than in the past, making treatment more comfortable and often faster than older systems.
Benefits
- Effective for complex bite correction.
- Precise control over tooth movement and rotation.
- Works continuously, so results do not depend on wearing aligners.
- Can be combined with palate expanders to guide jaw development in growing patients.
- Often a good choice for younger adolescents.
Treatment Process
- Orthodontic examination: X-rays, photos and impressions.
- Treatment planning: we explain your plan and timeline.
- Bracket placement: usually one to two hours.
- Adjustments: every four to six weeks.
- Debonding and retainers: braces are removed and retainers help your smile stay straight.
Treatment Time
Most patients are in braces for 18 to 24 months. Simpler cases may be shorter and complex cases can run longer.
