Straighten Your Smile With Orthodontics in Winnipeg

Dr. Rose Dhillon and Dr. Doug McDermid are general dentists who offer orthodontics in Winnipeg, MB. If you have a misaligned bite or crooked teeth, you could be an ideal candidate for braces or other orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic care can help you:

Correct problems from crooked teeth to gaps between teeth
Attain good oral hygiene more easily
Feel more confident about your straight smile
Boost your overall self-esteem

Call Lakewood Dental Centre at 204-977-8515 to schedule an orthodontic consultation for you or your child. We offer traditional braces, clear orthodontic aligners, and short-term orthodontics. We often supplement treatment with Propel Orthodontics devices and TAD (temporary anchor devices), both of which can speed up orthodontic time frames.

Find the Best Fit for a Better Smile

Choose Traditional or Modern Solutions

If you’re interested in clear aligners that are removable and more discreet than traditional metal braces and brackets, we have choices including Invisalign and SureSmile.

If the misalignment of your bite is mild or your need for braces is more cosmetic, any of these choices may be recommended as a short-term orthodontic option.

Our dentists can also treat patients with traditional metal braces. We offer stainless-steel wires and a titanium-nickel blend called nitinol. Nitinol wires remember being straight, so when they’re curved around your teeth, they’re constantly trying to return to a straight line. This action creates pressure on your teeth that nudges them into straighter positions.

If you’re concerned about the appearance of metal wires in your smile, you can choose braces that are tooth-coloured and less obvious.

Children & Adults Can Get Straighter Teeth

We generally fit patients with braces between the ages of 10 and 14, but we can also assist adult patients who need braces.

If you think your child needs braces, we can conduct an orthodontic exam and discuss how your child’s teeth are coming in. We may also be able to address early issues through orthodontic therapies. Our dentists in Winnipeg, MB will be able to explain your child’s options to you.

You’ll still brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss daily. We’ll teach you how to floss your teeth with braces. It’s important to maintain good oral hygiene while wearing braces, so your teeth don’t stain and are healthier at the end of your treatment.

Make the first move toward straighter teeth with your choice of orthodontics in Winnipeg, MB. Call Lakewood Dental Centre at 204-977-8515 or schedule an appointment online.

Common Questions About Orthodontics

Which type of orthodontics is best?

Your general dentist offers several orthodontics options depending on your circumstances. Your individual case will determine in large part which type of orthodontics will work best for you. We provide standard metal braces, tooth-coloured braces, Invisalign, Smart Moves, and K-Line clear aligners. Your dentist will go over your options with you and help you choose based on your smile goals.

How much does orthodontics cost?

Each patient is different, with a unique set of wants and needs. It is not possible to give you an estimate on your orthodontic treatment until we’ve first performed an exam and worked up treatment options for you. Then we can make sure you have all the information you need, including cost, to decide on the orthodontic care that’s right for you.

Does dental insurance cover orthodontics?

Dental insurance plans vary greatly in their orthodontic coverage. If you have questions about a specific plan, you may want to contact your provider directly. Or, give us a call here at the office, and we’ll try to help. Many plans pay a portion of the cost of orthodontics, and every penny they pay means that much less you have to.
