Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment is a powerful way to improve your smile, bite, and overall oral health. At Richmond Centre Dental Clinic, we offer a wide range of customized solutions including Clear Aligners, Invisalign®, Invisalign Teen, metal braces, ceramic braces, retainers, palatal expanders, and treatments for bite correction, crowding, and gapped teeth. Whether you're beginning treatment or maintaining your results, our team is committed to providing personalized, comfortable care that fits your lifestyle and delivers lasting results.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a discreet, comfortable alternative to traditional braces, ideal for mild to moderate orthodontic cases. These removable trays are custom-made to gently shift your teeth into alignment over time. Unlike metal braces, clear aligners allow you to enjoy all your favorite foods and maintain excellent oral hygiene without restrictions. They offer flexibility for busy adults and teens who want to improve their smiles without the appearance of brackets or wires.
Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen
Invisalign® and Invisalign® Teen offer a modern, discreet way to straighten your teeth using a series of custom-made, clear aligners. These aligners are comfortable, removable, and nearly invisible, making them an excellent option for both adults and teens who want to improve their smile without the look or feel of metal braces. You can eat your favorite foods and maintain your oral hygiene routine with ease, all while gently moving your teeth into alignment.
Aligners must be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day to stay on track. Most treatment plans take about a year, though this may vary depending on the complexity of your case. Invisalign® Teen includes wear indicators to help monitor usage and support successful outcomes for younger patients.
Metal Braces
Metal braces remain the most trusted orthodontic treatment for correcting a wide range of alignment issues. They are made of durable stainless steel brackets connected by a metal wire, gradually guiding your teeth into proper alignment. Modern metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever before. They are often the best option for patients with complex bite issues or severe crowding.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces work the same way as metal braces but feature clear or tooth-colored brackets that blend in with your natural teeth. This makes them a popular choice for adults and older teens who want a less noticeable option. While they provide excellent results, ceramic braces may require a bit more maintenance to prevent staining and keep them looking their best throughout treatment.
Retainers
After orthodontic treatment, retainers are essential for keeping your teeth in their newly aligned positions. Custom-made for comfort and precision, retainers prevent teeth from gradually shifting back. We offer both removable and fixed retainer options to meet your needs and lifestyle. Wearing your retainer as directed is key to preserving your beautiful smile for the long term.
Palatal Expanders
Palatal expanders help create more space in a child's upper jaw by gradually widening the palate. This treatment is typically used in growing children to correct issues like crossbites, crowding, and impacted teeth. By intervening early, palatal expansion can reduce the need for future orthodontic procedures, including extractions, and ensure better facial development and breathing patterns.
