Creating Confident Smiles with Expert Orthodontic Care

A beautiful smile can change your life. At Orthodontie Face & Profil, we’ve seen hundreds of patients transform not just their teeth but their confidence and overall well-being through orthodontic treatment. We provide expert orthodontic care to patients in Laval and surrounding areas. We believe everyone deserves a healthy, aligned smile to be proud of.

Braces have come a long way in the past few years. The clunky metal brackets and wires of our childhood are now more comfortable, efficient and less visible. Modern braces have smaller brackets and thinner wires making them more comfortable than ever. Many of our patients are surprised by how quickly they adjust to their new braces and how much less noticeable they are than they thought.

When you come to our office for a consultation, we take the time to evaluate your specific needs. We look at the alignment of your teeth, how your jaws fit together and even the balance of your facial features. This comprehensive approach allows us to create a treatment plan that addresses not just the position of your teeth but how they affect your overall appearance. Many patients don’t realize orthodontic treatment can actually enhance their facial profile and balance not just straighten their teeth.

Traditional metal braces are still a reliable and effective option for many of our patients. These braces have brackets bonded to the front surface of each tooth connected by wires that gently guide your teeth into place. For patients who are concerned about the appearance of metal braces, we also offer ceramic braces which have tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend in with your natural tooth color. These have the effect of traditional braces but with a more subtle appearance making them popular among our [Braces for adults] patients who may feel self conscious about orthodontic treatment.

The journey to a straighter smile starts with an initial consultation at our Laval office. During this visit we’ll examine your teeth and jaws, take any necessary X-rays or digital scans and discuss your smile goals. We’ll explain all your treatment options and help you choose the one that best fits your needs and lifestyle. Our patients appreciate our straight forward explanations and our willingness to answer all their questions. We believe an informed patient is a happier patient throughout the treatment process.Once your braces are on, you’ll come to our office for adjustments. These appointments are usually every 4-8 weeks depending on your treatment plan. During these visits we check on your progress and make any necessary adjustments to keep your teeth moving in the right direction. These regular visits are key to the success of your treatment so everything stays on track and progresses as planned. Our team works hard to make these visits quick and comfortable, we respect your time and comfort throughout the process.

Many of our patients ask about [Invisalign] as an alternative to traditional braces. This system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth without metal brackets or wires. Invisalign can be an excellent option for many adults and teens, a nearly invisible treatment that fits well with professional and social life. During your consultation we’ll evaluate if Invisalign is right for your specific orthodontic needs or if traditional braces would provide better results for your situation.

Living with braces does require some adjustments to your daily routine, especially when it comes to oral hygiene and dietary choices. We take the time to educate our patients on proper brushing and flossing techniques with braces and which foods to avoid to prevent damage to their orthodontic appliances. While these adjustments may seem challenging at first most patients adapt quickly. Our team is always available to give you tips and support throughout your treatment journey.

The length of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case. Some patients can achieve their desired results in as little as 12 months, others may need 24 months or more. During your consultation at Orthodontie Face & Profil we’ll give you an estimate of how long your treatment will take. Factors that affect treatment time are the starting position of your teeth, how much movement is needed and how well you follow our recommendations for care and maintenance.

One question we get asked often is do braces hurt. While it’s normal to feel some discomfort especially after initial placement and adjustments, most patients find it very manageable. The pressure you feel is a sign that your braces are doing their job, gently moving your teeth into place. We recommend over-the-counter pain relievers when needed and soft foods for the first few days after adjustments. The good news is that this discomfort usually subsides within a few days as your mouth adjusts.After your orthodontic treatment you’ll need to wear retainers to maintain your new smile. Teeth have a natural tendency to shift throughout life and retainers prevent them from moving back to their original position. We recommend wearing retainers full-time at first then gradually transitioning to nighttime wear only. This retention phase is just as important as the active treatment phase for long lasting results.

At Orthodontie Face & Profil we understand that orthodontic treatment is an investment in your future. We offer various payment options to make braces more affordable for our patients. Many dental insurance plans cover some of the cost of orthodontic treatment and our office staff can help you understand your benefits. We believe everyone deserves access to quality orthodontic care regardless of their financial situation.

Many patients are surprised by the additional benefits of orthodontic treatment beyond just straighter teeth. Properly aligned teeth are often easier to clean which can reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Correcting bite issues can also improve chewing function and sometimes even reduce symptoms like headaches and jaw pain associated with misaligned bites. These health benefits add even more value to the cosmetic improvements our patients enjoy.

The technological advances in orthodontics have made treatment more comfortable and efficient than ever before. At our office in Laval we stay up to date with the latest developments in orthodontic techniques and materials. This commitment to continuing education allows us to offer our patients the most current and effective treatment options available. From digital scanning that eliminates the need for messy impressions to advanced bracket systems that reduce treatment time, we embrace innovations that improve the patient experience.

We take great pride in creating beautiful healthy smiles our patients are excited to show off. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing someone smile with confidence after completing their orthodontic treatment. Many patients tell us they wish they hadn’t waited so long to address their orthodontic concerns. The boost in self-esteem and confidence that comes with a straight healthy smile often extends to many areas of their personal and professional life.
