Dental Braces Markham

Greensborough Dental takes pride in making our patients’ orthodontic experience a pleasurable one with Dental Braces.

The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that children get an orthodontic evaluation no later than age 7.  Orthodontic treatment at Greensborough Dental – your Markham dentist can be done at any age but timely treatment ensures maximum dental health.  By the age of 7, the first adult molars erupt, establishing the back bite. During this time, we can evaluate front-to-back and side-to-side tooth relationships. For example, the presence of erupting incisors can indicate possible overbite, open bite, crowding or gummy smiles.

Adults suffering from a bad bit or crooked teeth can also improve their smile at any point in time. Visit Greensborough Dental in Markham for an orthodontic consultation. Depending on your case the duration of your treatment will be determined. Certain dietary instructions hove to be followed throughout your treatment time with traditional braces.

Traditional dental braces treatment process

1. 

   Planning Phase

Your first couple of visits to Greensborough Dental will include a medical and dental history evaluation, and x-rays of the teeth and jaws among other diagnostic tools. After careful planning, our highly skilled dentist, Dr. Afshin Riazi, will design and apply braces that coincide with the treatment plan in effect for you.

2. Active Phase

The active treatment phase involves visiting Dr. Riazi at our Markham dental office on a regular basis for adjustments and following specific treatment requirements to ensure successful results. A monthly appointment is usually required.

3. Retention Phase

When treatment is completed, the braces and/or appliances are removed and a new appliance/retainer is made for you. Sometimes, retainers are removable and sometimes they are fixed by a wire cemented on the inside of your teeth.
