Traditional Braces in Calgary

Proven orthodontic treatment for a straighter, healthier smile. Metal and ceramic options for children, teens, and adults.

Traditional braces remain one of the most effective and reliable orthodontic treatments available. At London Square Dental, we use modern bracket systems that are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever before. Whether you need minor alignment correction or complex bite adjustment, our experienced team delivers beautiful, lasting results for patients of all ages.

Metal Braces

Our metal braces feature high-grade stainless steel brackets that are significantly smaller and sleeker than older designs. They deliver precise, predictable tooth movement for even the most complex orthodontic cases. Metal braces are the most cost-effective option and can be personalized with coloured elastic bands for a fun, customized look that teens love.

Ceramic braces for discreet orthodontic treatment

Ceramic Braces

For patients who prefer a more discreet appearance, ceramic braces use tooth-coloured or clear brackets that blend naturally with your teeth. They work with the same proven mechanics as metal braces but are far less noticeable. Ceramic braces are a popular choice among adult patients and image-conscious teens who want effective treatment without the look of traditional metal.

Your Treatment Journey

Treatment begins with a thorough orthodontic consultation including digital X-rays, photographs, and impressions. We create a customized treatment plan that maps out every stage of your tooth movement. After your braces are placed, you will visit us every four to six weeks for adjustments. Each visit takes about 20 to 30 minutes, and we monitor your progress closely to keep treatment on track.

Retainer for maintaining straight teeth after braces

Retention & Aftercare

Once your braces come off and you see your beautiful new smile, retainers keep your teeth in their new positions. We provide custom-fitted retainers and clear guidance on wear schedules. Consistent retainer use is essential in the months following treatment to ensure your results last a lifetime. We include follow-up visits to monitor your retention.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I need to wear braces?+
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case, but most patients wear braces for 12 to 24 months. Minor alignment issues may be resolved in as little as 6 months, while more complex bite corrections can take up to 30 months. We provide a personalized timeline during your consultation.
Are braces painful?+
You may experience mild soreness for a few days after your braces are placed and after each adjustment appointment. This discomfort is temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and soft foods. Most patients find that any discomfort decreases significantly after the first week.
What is the difference between metal and ceramic braces?+
Metal braces use stainless steel brackets and are the most durable and cost-effective option. Ceramic braces use tooth-coloured or clear brackets that blend with your teeth for a more discreet appearance. Both are equally effective at straightening teeth; the choice comes down to aesthetic preference and budget.
Can adults get braces?+
Absolutely. There is no age limit for orthodontic treatment. Many of our patients are adults seeking to improve their smile and bite alignment. Modern braces are more comfortable and less noticeable than ever, and adult patients often achieve excellent results with consistent wear and regular adjustments.
How do I care for my teeth while wearing braces?+
Thorough brushing after every meal, daily flossing with a floss threader or orthodontic floss, and regular dental cleanings are essential. We recommend avoiding hard, sticky, and chewy foods that can damage brackets. We provide a complete care kit and detailed instructions when your braces are placed.
