Orthodontic treatment can transform not only your smile but also your confidence and overall oral health. Whether you’re dealing with misaligned teeth, gaps, or bite problems, our orthodontist is here to help guide you toward the best solution for your needs.
What is Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontic treatment helps align teeth and correct bite issues by using braces, aligners, or other devices to gradually move your teeth into the correct position. It addresses both cosmetic concerns and functional problems, such as:
- Crooked or misaligned teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Increased overbite, open bite, crossbite or scissorbite
- Jaw alignment issues affecting speech or chewing
In addition to improving your smile’s appearance, orthodontic treatment provides significant health benefits. Aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of decay and gum disease. A properly aligned bite also prevents uneven wear on your teeth and reduces strain on your jaw joints, which can lead to long-term issues.
Who Might Need Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontic care is suitable for both children and adults. If you’re experiencing any of the issues mentioned above, orthodontic treatment can greatly enhance your dental health and overall well-being.
While starting treatment early, during childhood or adolescence, is ideal, adults can benefit from orthodontic care at any age. There’s no limit to when you can achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.

Treatment Options: Tailored for You
We offer a variety of contemporary orthodontic solutions, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your lifestyle and dental needs:
1. Traditional Metal Braces
Our classic metal braces are a highly effective option for treating a range of orthodontic problems. Today’s metal braces are more comfortable and efficient than ever before.
2. Invisalign – Removable & Nearly Invisible
Invisalign aligners are clear, removable, and custom-made to fit your teeth. They are nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teens who prefer a discreet treatment option.
3. Incognito – Hidden Behind Your Teeth
Lingual braces are placed on the inner surface of your teeth, making them completely hidden from view. This is the ideal choice for patients who want their orthodontic treatment to remain invisible.
At Elgin Dental Care and Implant Clinic, our orthodontist will help you choose the best option for your case. Each treatment is fully tailored to your specific needs, ensuring you achieve the best possible results.

Looking to the Future: Your Journey to a New Smile
One of the most common questions we receive is, “How long will treatment take?” During your consultation, our orthodontist will give you a clear estimate based on your specific needs. Simple cases can be completed in just a few months, while more complex cases may take a year or longer.
Regular check-ups allow us to track your progress, make adjustments as needed, and ensure your treatment stays on course. These appointments are also an opportunity to discuss any concerns and keep your oral health in top condition.
As your treatment progresses, you’ll notice positive changes in your smile that boost your confidence, making the journey rewarding and worthwhile.
Choosing an Orthodontist: Why Specialist Care Matters
Orthodontic treatment can be provided by both general dentists and orthodontic specialists. However, orthodontists undergo an additional three years of specialized training focused solely on aligning teeth and correcting bite issues. This expertise allows orthodontists to handle more complex cases and offer a broader range of treatment options.
At Elgin Dental Care and Implant Clinic, we have one dedicated orthodontist who specializes in providing expert orthodontic care. By choosing a specialist, you will receive a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique dental needs, ensuring you achieve the best possible results.
Orthodontic care is a long-term investment in your smile and oral health. With the guidance of our orthodontist, you can feel confident that your treatment will be both effective and customized for you.
