Expert Orthodontist Mississauga: Transform Your Smile with Advanced Teeth Straightening
A beautifully aligned smile supports long-term oral health and confidence. At
Meadowvale Town Dental Centre, our experienced orthodontist Mississauga
team blends advanced techniques with personalized care for children, teens, and adults.
Understanding Orthodontics: More Than Cosmetic
Orthodontics diagnoses, prevents, and corrects dental and facial irregularities. Misalignment can increase
cavity and gum disease risk, cause uneven tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches, and contribute to TMJ disorders.
Our comprehensive exams assess tooth position, bite, jaw relationship, and facial balance for functional and aesthetic results.
Common Orthodontic Issues We Treat
- Overcrowding: Overlapped/rotated teeth from limited jaw space.
- Spacing & gaps: From missing/small teeth or jaw size differences.
- Overbite/Underbite: Vertical or anterior-posterior discrepancies affecting wear and chewing.
- Crossbite: Teeth biting inside/outside their ideal position.
- Open bite: Front teeth don’t meet, reducing chewing efficiency and affecting speech.
Early evaluations around age 7 help intercept developing problems, even if treatment isn’t immediate.
Comprehensive Solutions for Every Age
Traditional Teeth Braces
Small, modern brackets with archwires apply gentle forces. Ideal for moderate-to-severe cases, complex rotations,
vertical movements, and significant crowding. Typical timelines: ~18–24 months.
Clear Braces
Tooth-colored/clear brackets provide discreet straightening with the same effectiveness as metal braces—popular with image-conscious teens and adults.
Clear Teeth Aligners
Removable, nearly invisible trays gradually align teeth—no diet restrictions and easy hygiene. Best for mild-to-moderate cases; complex issues may still need braces.
Kids & Children’s Braces
Phase 1 (ages 7–10): Interceptive treatment to guide jaw growth and create space. Comprehensive treatment (11–13): Finishes alignment after permanent teeth erupt.
Adult Orthodontics
It’s never too late. Clear braces and aligners fit professional lifestyles. We coordinate care for gum health,
bone levels, and restorative needs to deliver efficient 12–24 month results in many cases.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an orthodontist do?
A specialist with 2–3 extra years of training who corrects misaligned teeth and jaws using braces, clear braces, aligners, and other appliances.
When should my child see an orthodontist?
Around age 7 for an initial evaluation. Early assessment identifies developing issues and the best timing for treatment if needed.
How long does treatment take?
Depends on complexity and appliance: many braces/clear braces cases take 12–24 months; mild aligner cases may finish in 6–12 months.
Are clear braces or aligners as effective as braces?
For mild-to-moderate cases, yes. Complex rotations, vertical movements, or major bite changes may respond best to traditional braces.
