Clear Aligners – The Invisible Way to Straighten Your Teeth

Want straight teeth without metal braces?

Clear Aligners are the comfortable, removable, and nearly invisible way to improve your smile.

How They Work:

Your dentist will take impressions and create a series of clear, custom aligners.

You wear each set for about two weeks—each one gently shifts your teeth closer to perfect alignment.

Benefits:

• No metal wires or brackets
• Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing
• Comfortable and discreet
• Fewer dental visits

Clear Aligners can fix crowding, gaps, bite issues, and more—while helping your teeth look and function better.

Damon Braces System at Dentist on Queen

We use the high-quality American-made Damon Braces System, which uses gentle force to move teeth comfortably and efficiently.

Dr. Lu offers a range of brace styles to suit your needs and lifestyle:

• Stainless steel brackets – classic and durable
• Porcelain (tooth-coloured) brackets – more discreet
• Lingual braces – placed on the inside of teeth, completely hidden when you smile
• Invisalign – clear aligners for a nearly invisible option

Whatever your smile goals, we have a solution to match!

Early interceptive orthodontics is dental treatment for children—usually between ages 6–10—that helps guide proper jaw and tooth development before all adult teeth come in.

Why Start Early?

Treating issues early can:

• Prevent more serious problems later
• Guide jaw growth and improve facial balance
• Make room for adult teeth
• Correct harmful habits (like thumb sucking or tongue thrusting)
• Reduce or avoid the need for braces later on

What Does It Involve?

Treatment may include:

• Removable plates or expanders
• Partial braces
• Habit-breaking appliances
• Monitoring and guidance of growth

Every child is different, so we tailor the treatment to your child’s needs.

When a baby tooth is lost too early, other teeth can shift into the empty space. This can cause crowding and alignment problems when adult teeth come in.

A space maintainer is a small, custom-made device that holds the space open for the permanent tooth to grow in properly.

Why Use a Space Maintainer?

• Prevents future orthodontic problems
• Guides adult teeth into the correct position
• Saves time and money on future dental treatment

Space maintainers can be fixed or removable, depending on your child’s needs.
