Teeth-Straightening Solutions from the Teenage Years and Beyond

We offer a range of orthodontic treatments for every type of smile, designed for both adolescents and adults. Orthodontic treatment doesn’t just enhance the appearance of your smile, it also plays a key role in improving your overall oral health. Misaligned teeth and a crooked bite can be difficult to clean, cause discomfort, and even lead to pain. With the right treatment, these issues can be resolved in as little as six months, improving both your confidence and dental well-being.

    How Do I Know if I Need Orthodontics?

    You may benefit from orthodontic treatment if you experience any of the following issues:

  • Overbite: When your upper teeth sit too far forward.
  • Spacing: Gaps or spaces between your teeth.
  • Underbite: When your lower teeth are positioned too far forward.
  • Crowding: Teeth that overlap or are too close together, making flossing difficult.
  • Crossbite: A bite where the teeth don’t align comfortably.
  • Pain: Chronic headaches, jaw pain, or discomfort in the upper back and neck.

If you’ve noticed any of these concerns, orthodontic treatment may be the solution to both improve your smile and enhance your overall comfort.

Orthodontic Treatment Options

There are several orthodontic treatments available, depending on your specific needs and budget. Here are some of the options you may consider:

Traditional Braces

When people think of braces, they often picture the bulky metal brackets and wires. However, modern braces are much smaller, less noticeable, and just as effective as older models. These updated brackets are easier to clean and provide more comfort than ever before.

Clear Brackets

For those seeking a more discreet option, clear brackets are available. These are a popular choice, particularly among adults, as they combine the effectiveness of traditional braces with a nearly invisible appearance. From a distance, it’s difficult to tell you’re wearing braces at all.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, have become a highly popular alternative to braces. These custom-made, transparent trays gradually move your teeth into their desired position. They fit comfortably and can be removed for eating, brushing, flossing, or special occasions, making them a convenient and subtle option for orthodontic treatment.

Each option has its own benefits, and we can help you determine which treatment best fits your lifestyle and goals.

The Cost of Orthodontic Treatment in Orillia

After conducting an oral exam, we can provide you with an accurate quote, giving you clarity on what your insurance plan will cover and what your out-of-pocket expenses will be. Without insurance, orthodontic treatment typically ranges from $4,000 to $6,000 or more.

What Factors Determine the Cost of Orthodontic Treatment?

Several factors influence the overall cost of your orthodontic care, including:
  • Current Oral Health: The condition of your teeth and gums will impact the complexity of the treatment.
  • Amount of Tooth Movement: The extent to which your teeth need to shift will affect the duration and cost of the treatment.
  • Type of Orthodontic Treatment: Different treatment options, such as traditional braces or Invisalign, come with varying costs.
  • Treatment Duration: Longer treatment periods may increase the overall expense due to more frequent check-ups and adjustments.

Since every smile is unique, the best way to determine the right treatment and its cost is by scheduling a consultation. During this visit, we’ll discuss your personal smile goals, examine your teeth, and create a personalized treatment plan that meets your needs. This ensures you receive a tailored solution that fits both your dental goals and your budget.

Contact us today

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Frequently Asked Questions

While orthodontic treatment is often recommended for younger patients, particularly before their adult teeth fully emerge, it’s not limited to teenagers. If you’re a parent, now is a great time to schedule a consultation for your teen. However, adults can also benefit from orthodontic care, so even if you’re older, it’s never too late to start working on a straighter smile.

When braces are first put on, they don’t typically cause pain. However, as your teeth begin to shift into place, you might experience some mild discomfort. Most patients describe it as a slight pressure rather than actual pain. If you ever find the discomfort to be bothersome, let us know, and we’ll work with you to make adjustments and keep you comfortable during your treatment.

Certain foods can damage your braces or get stuck in them, so it’s best to avoid hard or sticky items like caramel, candy apples, and corn on the cob. Sticky foods such as gum and popcorn can also create cleaning challenges. Additionally, be mindful of sugary and acidic foods, as they can be harder to clean from your braces and lead to plaque buildup. If you have clear braces, be cautious with foods that stain, like beets, curry, and certain processed foods like Kraft dinner.

If your wire, brackets, or aligner tray breaks, contact us immediately! Don’t wait until your next scheduled appointment, as addressing the issue promptly can prevent further complications.

Flossing with braces can be tricky, but floss threaders and super floss are specifically designed to help. These tools allow you to effectively clean around your braces or permanent retainers. If you’re unsure how to use them, we’d be happy to demonstrate at your next appointment.

The duration of orthodontic treatment depends on the extent of the changes needed. For minor adjustments, treatment can take as little as six months. However, most patients wear braces for six months to two years. After a thorough oral exam, we can provide a more precise estimate tailored to your needs.

Moved from Toronto about 3 years ago and had been travelling back and forth to the city for dental appointments. Last year I had a dental emergency, severe pain in my left side, couldn’t sleep for days and needed urgent dental attention. I called around to different local dentists and Bayside was able to get me in almost immediately. I ended up having an abscess tooth (ouch) which didn’t improve with antibiotics alone which meant I had to get a pulpectomy followed by a root canal once the infection went away. I’m not a huge fan of the dentist to begin with, but with the level of pain and discomfort I was feeling, I was thrilled to be in the dental chair and have someone help me. I’m very grateful for the friendly, caring and professional staff at Bayside and I’ve decided to start coming here instead of using my dentist in the city.
