Why Teeth Straightening Matters for Oral Health

Straightening your teeth isn’t just about appearances. Proper alignment plays a key role in your long-term oral health. Misaligned teeth can lead to:

  • Difficulty brushing and flossing
  • Increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease
  • TMJ discomfort or jaw strain
  • Speech challenges
  • Lowered self-confidence due to smile aesthetics

Teeth Straightening Options We Offer in Cold Lake and St. Paul

At our practice, we believe every patient deserves a custom treatment plan. Here’s a breakdown of the top orthodontic treatments available today, each designed to meet different goals and lifestyles.

Traditional Metal Braces

Metal braces remain one of the most effective and time-tested orthodontic tools.

Benefits:

  • Ideal for complex orthodontic cases
  • Durable and budget-friendly
  • Predictable outcomes

Challenges:

  • Noticeable brackets and wires
  • Can be uncomfortable after adjustments
  • Require careful oral hygiene

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces function like metal braces but use clear or tooth-colored brackets for a subtler look.

Benefits:

  • Less visible than metal braces
  • Strong and effective for various misalignment issues

Challenges:

  • Slightly more expensive
  • Brackets may stain if not cleaned well 

Clear Aligners (Like Invisalign)

Clear aligners are removable trays that gradually shift your teeth. They’re a popular choice for adults and teens who want a discreet solution.

Benefits:

  • Nearly invisible when worn
  • Removable for meals and brushing
  • No food restrictions

Challenges:

  • Requires consistent wear (20–22 hours/day)
