Modern Orthodontics Explained

Modern orthodontics focuses on straightening teeth, correcting bite issues, and improving overall oral function using advanced, comfortable, and discreet methods. At Metro Scott Dental in Surrey, we offer orthodontic solutions that fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. Today's orthodontic treatments are more efficient, more aesthetic, and more personalized than ever before, allowing you to achieve a healthier, more confident smile with ease.

Who is a Good Candidate?

Orthodontic treatment is suitable for patients of many ages, from teens to adults. You may be a strong candidate if you have:

• Crooked, crowded, or overlapping teeth
• Gaps or uneven spacing
• Overbite, underbite, or crossbite concerns
• Teeth that have shifted over time
• Difficulty cleaning due to misalignment
• A desire for a more balanced, confident smile

After an evaluation, our team will recommend the best treatment option based on your goals, bite, and overall oral health.

Invisalign Clear Aligners Benefits

Invisalign clear aligners offer a comfortable and nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth without traditional braces. Customized to fit snugly over your teeth, Invisalign provides:

Retainers for Lasting Results

Retainers play a crucial role in maintaining your new smile after orthodontic treatment. They keep your teeth from shifting back to their original positions and help preserve the long-term stability of your results. Metro Scott Dental offers custom-made retainers that fit comfortably and are easy to care for. Wearing your retainer consistently is essential to protect the progress you've made.
