Orthodontic Care for Straighter Teeth

Orthodontic treatment helps improve the position of teeth and the way your upper and lower teeth come together. Treatment may be considered for concerns such as crowding, spacing, or bite problems that affect the appearance, function, or alignment of your smile.


At Beach Dental in Toronto, your dentist will assess your teeth, bite, jaw relationship, and treatment goals before discussing whether orthodontic care may be appropriate. Your treatment plan will depend on the type and severity of your alignment concerns and the movement your teeth require.

  • How do I know if I need orthodontic treatment?

    Orthodontic treatment may be considered if you have crowded teeth, noticeable gaps, teeth that do not meet properly, or other alignment concerns. Some problems are primarily cosmetic, while others can affect chewing or oral hygiene. Your dentist can assess your teeth and bite and discuss whether orthodontic treatment may be appropriate.

  • What orthodontic treatments does Beach Dental offer?

    Beach Dental offers Invisalign® clear aligner treatment and retainers. Invisalign is used to gradually move teeth into planned positions, while retainers help maintain tooth alignment after active orthodontic treatment. Your dentist can assess your bite and alignment to determine whether the available orthodontic options are suitable for your needs.

  • How long does orthodontic treatment take?

    Treatment time varies considerably depending on how much tooth movement is needed, the type of alignment or bite concern, and how consistently the treatment instructions are followed. Some cases require less time than others. Your dentist can provide a more individualized estimate after evaluating your teeth and developing a treatment plan.

  • Do I need a retainer after Invisalign?

    Retainers are commonly recommended after Invisalign or other orthodontic treatment because teeth can gradually shift after active movement is complete. Wearing your retainer as directed helps maintain the new tooth positions. Your dentist will explain how often and how long your retainer should be worn based on your individual treatment.

  • Can orthodontic treatment help with crowded or gapped teeth?

    Yes. Orthodontic treatment may be used to improve certain cases of crowded or spaced teeth by gradually moving the teeth into more appropriate positions. The amount of movement needed and the cause of the spacing or crowding determine which treatment approach may be suitable. An orthodontic assessment is needed before treatment is recommended.
