Your Halifax Invisalign® Provider
Atlantic Dental Centre's team of qualified dentists offer traditional braces and Invisalign clear aligners as orthodontic treatment options to help straighten your smile.
How Orthodontics Work
The goal of orthodontic treatment is the same regardless of the age of the patient: to straighten your teeth so they look and function better.
At Atlantic Dental Centre, we achieve this goal using braces or clear aligners that gently put pressure on your teeth and cause them to slowly shift into the desired position over the course of months or years.
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces, made of either metal or ceramic, have been used for decades to straighten teeth. In recent years, advances in orthodontic treatment have resulted in braces that are low-profile, more comfortable, and easier to care for.
How Braces Straighten Teeth
Braces apply continuous pressure to the teeth over a period of time, slowly moving them into their new, corrected positions.
As pressure is applied and the teeth move, the bone changes shape to accommodate the new positions of the teeth.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
With Invisalign clear aligners, your smile is gradually straightened using a series of individually customized, clear plastic aligners that are adjusted over a period of time.
Invisalign clear aligners offer a convenience factor—they are removable for when you'd prefer no one know that you are straightening your teeth.
Similar in appearance to custom whitening trays, they are easy to insert and can be removed as needed when drinking, eating, or brushing!
