While braces enhance aesthetics, they also improve oral health by preventing issues such as decay and gum disease. At The Teal Umbrella, we provide both traditional metal and ceramic braces, ensuring our Nepean patients receive the most effective treatment suited to their needs.

Invisalign®

Invisalign is an invisible, removable orthodontic solution that offers a comfortable and discreet way to straighten teeth. Made from clear plastic, Invisalign aligners gradually shift your teeth into the correct position without the hassle of wires or brackets.
Why Choose Invisalign in Nepean?
  • Nearly invisible aligners for a discreet treatment
  • Comfortable fit without gum irritation
  • Removable trays for easy eating and cleaning

Retainers and Jaw Orthopedics

 
Retainers are essential after orthodontic treatment to maintain alignment and prevent teeth from shifting. We offer custom-made retainers that ensure long-lasting results.
Functional jaw orthopedics help correct jaw growth discrepancies, often in younger patients. This treatment can prevent future dental issues such as:
  • TMJ pain
  • Sleep apnea
  • Small lower jaws
If you're seeking early orthodontic intervention in Nepean, our experienced team can assess and recommend the best treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions about Orthodontics

What is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities, primarily using braces and aligners to align teeth and jaws.
Orthodontic Treatments and GoalsOrthodontic Appliances: Orthodontic appliances include braces and aligners, which are used to apply gentle pressure and move teeth into desired positions. Correcting Issues: Orthodontics can correct a range of issues, including:
  • Malocclusion: Bad bites or improper alignment of teeth and jaws.

  • Spacing: Gaps between teeth.
  • Overbite: Upper teeth overlapping lower teeth.
  • Underbite: Lower teeth overlapping upper teeth.
  • Crossbite: Upper teeth fitting behind lower teeth.
By correcting these issues, orthodontics can improve oral function, reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease, and enhance the overall appearance of a person's smile. It's worth noting that orthodontics is not mentioned in the list of exclusions provided by the CDCP, which means that orthodontic treatments may be covered under the plan.
