Traditional Braces in Mississauga

Achieve a Healthier, More Confident Smile with Metal Braces

A straighter smile is about more than appearance – properly aligned teeth can improve your oral health, make cleaning easier, and help create a comfortable, balanced bite.

At Erindale Dental, we offer traditional braces as an effective and reliable orthodontic treatment option for children, teens, and adults. Our team will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan designed around your smile goals, lifestyle, and dental needs.

Whether you are correcting crowded teeth, closing gaps, or improving your bite, traditional braces remain one of the most trusted ways to achieve a beautifully aligned smile.

What Are Traditional Braces?

Traditional braces use a system of metal brackets, wires, and small elastic bands to gradually move teeth into their ideal positions.

During treatment, brackets are carefully attached to the teeth and connected with an orthodontic wire. Gentle, controlled pressure is applied over time to guide your teeth into proper alignment.

Modern braces are more comfortable and customizable than ever, making orthodontic treatment a positive experience for patients of all ages.

What Can Traditional Braces Correct?

Traditional braces can help address a variety of orthodontic concerns, including:

1

Crowded Teeth

When teeth overlap or do not have enough space, braces can help create better alignment and spacing.

2

Gaps Between Teeth

Braces can gradually close unwanted spaces and create a more balanced smile.

3

Overbite

When the upper teeth extend too far over the lower teeth, orthodontic treatment can help improve bite alignment.

4

Underbite

Braces can help correct bite concerns where the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth.

5

Crooked Teeth

Straightening crooked teeth can improve both smile appearance and oral hygiene.
