Know Your Options Before You Choose

Straight teeth come by two main roads, and neither is universally better. Here is what each actually is, in plain language, so your assessment conversation starts on solid ground.

What Are Braces?

Braces are small brackets bonded to your teeth, connected by a thin wire that your dentist adjusts over time. They apply gentle, continuous pressure that guides teeth into position, and because they are fixed in place, they are always working, with nothing to remember or remove.

Types of Braces

Metal Braces: the modern version is smaller and more comfortable than most people remember, dependable for every kind of correction, and usually the most economical option.
Ceramic (Tooth-Coloured) Braces: the same mechanics with brackets that blend into your smile, a popular middle ground for teens and adults who want a fixed option that stays discreet.
Best For: complex movements, bite and jaw corrections, and anyone who prefers treatment that works around the clock without daily wear-time to track.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign straightens teeth with a series of custom, nearly invisible clear aligners instead of brackets and wires. We scan your teeth, map the movement digitally, and you switch to the next aligner in the series as your smile progresses, wearing them about 20 to 22 hours a day.

How It Helps and Why People Choose It

Nearly Invisible: most people will not notice you are in treatment, at work, at school, or in photos.
Removable: take them out to eat, brush, and floss normally, no food restrictions and easier hygiene.
Comfortable: smooth plastic with no brackets or wires, and check-ins that fit busy schedules.
Best For: many mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and bite cases, and aligner technology now handles more than it used to. Your assessment confirms if your case qualifies.

Which road fits your smile depends on your teeth, your goals, and your routine, which is exactly what a free assessment settles. Try the 30 second check below for a head start.

What Orthodontics Costs in North York

These are general 2026 planning ranges, not quotes. Your written estimate at the assessment is what counts, and we walk you through it line by line.

Braces

$3,000 to $7,000
Metal or ceramic · all ages · often best for complex bites

Invisalign Clear Aligners

$3,500 to $8,000
Nearly invisible · removable · great for many mild to moderate cases

Making it manageable: most private insurance plans include orthodontic benefits, we bill insurers directly, and flexible monthly payment plans are available through Beautifi. One straight note: the CDCP generally does not cover orthodontic treatment, and we'd rather tell you that here than surprise you later.

Good Questions

Ortho FAQs, Answered Plainly

Am I too old for braces or Invisalign?
Not at all. Healthy teeth can be moved at almost any age, and a growing share of the people we treat are adults. Discreet options like clear aligners and ceramic braces make treatment easy to fit around work and life.
Do braces hurt?
Expect pressure and tenderness for a few days after starting and after adjustments, rather than sharp pain. That feeling is your teeth moving, and it settles quickly. Soft foods, cool water, and simple comfort tips help a lot.
How long does treatment take?
Minor corrections can take a matter of months, while more involved cases run around eighteen months to a couple of years. Your assessment gives you a realistic, personalized timeline before you commit to anything.
Invisalign or braces, which is better?
Neither is universally better. Aligners are removable and nearly invisible, and suit many mild to moderate cases. Fixed braces are always working and often win for complex movements. The right answer depends on your teeth, your goals, and your routine.
My teeth shifted after having braces as a teen. Can that be fixed?
Yes, and it's often simpler the second time. Because your teeth were once aligned, many adults need only a shorter course of treatment, and clear aligners keep it discreet.
When should my child first be checked?
Around age seven is a good first orthodontic check, because enough adult teeth are in to spot crowding, bite, or jaw concerns early. Early does not always mean braces now; often we simply monitor and plan the ideal time.
Will my insurance cover orthodontics?
Many private plans include orthodontic benefits, and we help you check yours and bill directly. The CDCP generally does not cover orthodontic treatment. Flexible monthly payment plans are available either way, and every plan starts with a written estimate.
