Orthodontic dentistry
With so many people looking to improve their smile, we are proud to offer our patients two effective orthodontic options, allowing them to achieve a straighter smile.
Did you know that correcting your bite and straightening your teeth not only looks great –- it also has a positive impact on your general health? When your teeth are in their proper positions, it’s easier to chew your food and your digestion improves. It can also reduce tension headaches caused by improper alignment.
Here at Unionville Gate Family Dentists, we’re proud to be able to offer our patients different orthodontic options and timelines to suit their lifestyles. Contrary to popular believe, braces do not always need to be worn for a full two years –- some treatments are completed in as few as six months.
We offer two options for orthodontics in Markham –- traditional metal braces or Invisalign.
Traditional metal-style braces use metal wires, which have to be regularly tightened to straighten your teeth.
Invisalign braces are removable aligners that are changed every two weeks. Each aligner is custom-made to fit your teeth and slowly move them into their ideal positions.

What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign treatment uses a series of clear aligners that work to correct your orthodontic issues while offering the appearance of wearing no braces. No wires or discomfort, available for both teens and adults. Clear and removable to fit your lifestyle fewer appointments. IT’S THE CLEAR ALTERNATIVE TO BRACES.
How Does It Works ?
Invisalign clear aligners are designed to move your teeth by tiny increments as your treatment progresses. You will wear each aligner for about two weeks before it is replaced by the next one in the series.This process will continue until your teeth are in their prescribed, corrected positions. The duration of your treatment will be determined based on your specific needs.
How long Invisalign treatment take?
It depends. Most cases can be completed within 12-18 months. The exact duration of your treatment will be based on your specific needs. Factors that may determine the duration of your treatment include the misalignment of your teeth or jaw, the shape of your bite, and the amount of movement required to correct the problem.
