Braces in Ottawa | Affordable & Effective Orthodontic Care

Braces at The Teal Umbrella

Introducing Braces

Braces are devices that are placed directly on to the teeth to help align and improve tooth conditions. By gently pushing the teeth in the desired direction, they can help to correct overbites and under bites, crooked teeth and many more.
While braces are often considered a cosmetic fix, they can also help prevent health problems like decay between crooked teeth from becoming a large problem. They make your teeth look healthier and reduce the risk of dental issues and gingivitis.
Braces are often used in combination with elastics to help align the bite line. This process can allow you to chew more easily, decreasing the separation between your teeth and aiding with a consistent bite.
At The Teal Umbrella, we offer braces for your whole family. We want to help make sure that you’re happy with your smile and that your teeth are healthy.

Long-Term Oral Health

Long-Term Oral Health

Braces not only improve the appearance of your smile but also contribute to better oral health by correcting misalignment issues, which can prevent future dental problems like gum disease and tooth decay.

Braces vs Invisalign

Braces

  • Effective for Complex Cases: Braces are often recommended for more complex orthodontic cases, including severe misalignment and bite issues.
  • Durable: Fixed to your teeth, braces provide continuous correction without the need to remove them for cleaning.
  • Customization: You can choose different colored bands for a fun, personalized look.
  • Low Maintenance: Braces are fixed, so there's no need to worry about losing or forgetting them.

Invisalign

  • Discreet: Clear aligners are nearly invisible, offering a more subtle treatment.
  • Removable: Invisalign allows you to take out your aligners for meals and special occasions, making it more convenient for some patients.
  • Comfort: Made from smooth plastic, Invisalign is gentler on gums and cheeks.
  • Predictable Results: Invisalign uses advanced 3D imaging to map out the entire treatment plan, allowing you to see a virtual preview of how your teeth will look after treatment, ensuring more accurate and predictable results.

Which Orthodontic Issues Can Braces Treat?

Overbites

Occurs when the upper front teeth excessively overlap the lower front teeth, potentially causing jaw pain, tooth wear, and speech issues.

Underbites

The lower front teeth extend past the upper front teeth, leading to chewing difficulties and an increased risk of tooth wear and jaw problems.

Openbites

Occurs when the upper and lower teeth don’t touch when the mouth is closed, often resulting in difficulties with biting and speech.

Gapped Teeth

Noticeable spaces between teeth that can result from missing teeth or an imbalance in jawbone size, which may lead to gum problems and misalignment over time.

Crowded Teeth

When teeth overlap or are too close together due to a lack of space in the jaw, making cleaning difficult and increasing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

Crossbites

When upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth, this misalignment can cause teeth to wear unevenly, leading to gum disease or bone loss.

  • Dr. Samarrae, there are special people in this world! and you are truly one of them. I'd like to thank you for caring attitude and top quality work, always has time to explain and educate in oral health. Dr. Samarrae has been my dentist for over 6 years and she is continually on a quest for knowledge of techniques to provide better patient care, plus the facilities are super clean and very modern. Her co-workers are very nice and friendly. I'm so glad that you're my family dentist.

  • Lots of patience with nervous patients !

  • Wish I had known them years ago, I'm sure I would not have lost all I did. Dr. Samarrae is lovely as is all staff. Respectful, cordial and most of all caring. Then what can I say, there is "Elizabeth", what an asset and treasure to you all !!

  • I came in for a crown. Haven't had a crown done for a while. The new techniques make it a better experience. Thanks for the care !

  • Crowns are no fun, but with this dentist, and her team, it's almost pleasant! Love the warm towel! what a nice touch. Thanks

  • Melanie always makes me smile ! Her personal, professional approach inspires confidence in the work she is doing. She puts me at ease, which is not an easy task! I have also learned valuable oral hygiene tips. Thanks Mel!

  • Gentle + professional treatment. I appreciate your efforts to increase my comfort during my dental work. I feel that I'm in good hands. Thanks

  • Just wanted to say thank you so much for this morning,  Dr. Samarrae , you did a great job on my tooth. And just a few  words  on your lovely ladies at the front , Dr.-  they are simply the best, sooooooooo sweet, funny, helpful, kind, always a nice thing to say.  Very engaging, Just wanted to let you know how lucky you are to have such a great staff (big raise, girls) I dread the thought of going to the dentist ( as a little girl – the dentist’s  were not as caring as you are ) it left an impact on me. But , I always leave your office feeling like you really care and you are all so kind. So, for this I say ….job well done.  

  • From the moment I arrived, the staff at The Teal Umbrella shattered my preconceptions about visiting the dentist. I had a thorough interview before getting anywhere near a dentist chair, and got to sit down with Dr. Sheema in a separate room to discuss a longer term care plan. It's so nice to find a dentist who takes the time to know their patient. I've come back a number of times now and have always had the same hygienist - Linda. The treatment from all the staff has been quick, caring, and pain free. I couldn't be happier that I found Dr. Sheema team!

  • The kindness of the staff really stands out! Visiting the dentist used to make me quite nervous, but now I feel much more at ease.
