Invisalign & Braces in Surrey: Straighten Your Smile
A straight smile is not just about aesthetics; it's also fundamental to long-term oral health. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease, while a correct bite prevents premature wear on your enamel. At Canary Dental in Surrey, we offer personalized orthodontic solutions, from discreet Invisalign clear aligners for working professionals to traditional metal and ceramic braces for growing teens and complex cases.
Orthodontic Solutions for Every Age
We recognize that every smile is unique. Our team will carefully assess your bite, alignment, and aesthetic goals to recommend the most effective treatment path.
- Invisalign Clear Aligners: The modern alternative to braces. Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, virtually invisible plastic trays to gently shift your teeth into place. They are removable, meaning you can eat your favorite foods and brush and floss normally without navigating around wires.
- Traditional Braces: Time-tested and highly effective, traditional braces remain the best choice for treating severe crowding, complex bite issues, and significant jaw misalignment. We offer high-quality, low-profile brackets for enhanced comfort.
- Children's Early Intervention (Phase 1 Orthodontics): The Canadian Dental Association recommends that children have an orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Early intervention can guide proper jaw growth, create room for erupting permanent teeth, and potentially reduce or eliminate the need for extensive braces later in life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Invisalign vs. Braces: Which one is better?
Neither is objectively "better"—it depends entirely on your specific clinical needs and lifestyle. Invisalign is fantastic for mild to moderate alignment issues and offers superior aesthetics and convenience. However, traditional braces provide more precise control for complex tooth movements. We will help you weigh the pros and cons during your consultation.
Am I too old to get braces or Invisalign?
Absolutely not! Healthy teeth can be moved at any age. In fact, a significant portion of our orthodontic patients are adults who are finally taking the step to achieve the confident smile they've always wanted.
How long does Invisalign treatment usually take?
Treatment times vary widely based on the complexity of the case. Mild crowding can sometimes be resolved in as little as 6 months, while more comprehensive adjustments may take 12 to 18 months. Wearing the aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours a day is crucial for staying on track.
Will my dental insurance cover orthodontics?
Many extended health and dental insurance plans include a lifetime maximum benefit for orthodontic treatment. Our administrative team will happily help you check your policy and submit pre-determinations to maximize your benefits.
