Orthodontics in Winnipeg, MB

Evaluation

When you come in for your first appointment, our team will take a comprehensive look at your oral health. We’ll carefully examine your teeth, gums, and jaw to understand how they all fit together. This examination helps us spot any issues with how your teeth align, if there’s overcrowding, or if there are any bite problems. It’s like creating a detailed map of your mouth! By doing this, we can better understand what kind of treatment might work best for you.

Discussion

During this appointment, we’ll have a conversation to understand what you want to achieve with orthodontic treatment. We’re here to listen to your concerns and answer any questions you might have. Together, we’ll discuss the different options available—whether it’s traditional braces, clear aligners, or other orthodontic appliances. This is your chance to tell us about your preferences, and we’ll explain how each option works, how long it might take, and what you can expect during the treatment process.

X-Rays and Imaging

To get a really clear picture of your teeth and jaw, we might take X-rays or use special 3D imaging technology. These tools help us see things that are not visible during a regular examination. X-rays give us a detailed look at the roots of your teeth and the condition of your jawbone. With 3D imaging, we can create a three-dimensional view of your teeth and jaw, helping us plan your treatment with incredible precision. It’s like having a special pair of glasses that show us exactly what’s going on inside your mouth, allowing us to tailor your treatment plan specifically to you.
