THE IMPORTANCE OF ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT
The work of orthodontic treatment can be designed for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. Along with these areas of expertise, our goal is to provide our patients seeking braces in Milton not only with a more attractive smile but also longer-sustaining dental health and a better quality of life in general.
THE SYNERGY OF DENTOFACAL ORTHOPEDICS AND ORTHODONTICS
At Oasis Dental, we fully know how much adequately aligned teeth and jaws mean to facial aesthetics and oral health. We offer a holistic approach to braces in Milton, one that leverages our depth of experience and expertise in the field of orthodontics, functional jaw orthopedics, and dentofacial orthopedics. This ensures we take care of the whole orthodontic needs and the orthopedic (jaw expander) needs of our patients for the best result.
Our practice uniquely integrates dentofacial orthopedics (jaw expander & ALF) with traditional orthodontics, allowing us to address both the positioning of teeth and the structural development of the jaw for kids, teens and adults. Dentofacial orthopedics is crucial, especially in younger patients, as it involves managing and guiding facial growth through the use of appliances like jaw expanders. This can significantly impact the facial profile and is often used as a preventive or corrective measure to optimize later outcomes from braces or other orthodontic treatments.
On the orthodontic side, we specialize in providing various types of braces (including traditional metal, ceramic, and invisible aligners) tailored to meet the individual needs and preferences of our patients. This comprehensive care model not only focuses on achieving beautifully aligned teeth but also ensures that they fit properly with the jaws for improved bite function and long-term oral health.
By combining these two areas of specialties , Oasis Dental can offer a more complete solution to orthodontic care that considers all aspects of facial aesthetics and functionality. Our team is committed to ensuring that our patients receive the most effective and efficient treatment, leading to beautiful smiles that last a lifetime.

YOUR FIRST ORTHODONTIC VISIT
Reasons Why your Child should get an Orthodontic Checkup no later than Age 7
KIDS & TEEN HOLISTIC PREVENTATIVE ORTHODONTICS
Phase 1
Interceptive Orthodontics
(aka. Functional Jaw Orthopedics - FJO, Myobrace)
The age between 3 and 10 is very important for children's jaw development and facial growth and FJO can be utilized.
We use functional jaw orthopedics (ALF, Schwarz, Twin block, Biobloc, facemask, limited orthodontics (partial braces), myobrace) to correct:
-
A misalignment of the jawbones
-
TMJ disorders (headaches & migraines in children)
-
Airway development
-
Underdeveloped jawbones
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that your child should get their first check up no later than age 7.
Phase 2
Comprehensive Treatment
(ex. Braces, ALF Orthodontics, Biobloc, FAAGA)
After age 11 to 13, all your permanent teeth erupt into your mouth. The crowding of the teeth is usually the result of the jaw bone being too small. This was concluded in classic study by world-renowned orthodontist Dr. James McNamara et al.

OUR BRACES SERVICES
Here at Oasis Dental, we appreciate that no two smiles are the same, and a perfect smile has been tailored. That's why we offer this wide array of braces options to suit customers' needs and preferences. From the traditional strength of metal to the aesthetic appeal of ceramics and the convenience of Invisalign®, our products are tailor-made for our customers.
1. Traditional Metal Braces: Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces in Milton. Most people usually come for them because of their outstanding ability to treat different categories of dental problems. Metal braces, while being affordable, are equally durable; hence, they are demanded in high numbers by patients of all ages.
2. Ceramic Braces: Made up of transparent materials, ceramic braces blend well with the teeth and are less visible compared to metal braces. Even with their esthetic benefit, however, ceramic braces usually pay a little more attention to oral hygiene, as they can be easily stained.
3. Invisalign®: The modern, new-age way to straighten teeth without braces, Invisalign works with a set of clear, removable aligners custom-made for your teeth only. That makes it aesthetically beautiful and almost invisible for both youths and grown-ups.
4. Non-Extraction Braces (ALF Functional Orthodontics): Non-Extraction Braces can effectively adjust the jaw and teeth alignment while maintaining the integrity of your natural smile. The key principle behind Non-Extraction Braces is to enhance the function and aesthetics of the smile through careful jaw repositioning and arch expansion. By broadening the dental arches, there is increased space for teeth to shift into their proper positions, resulting in improved alignment and facial symmetry. This technique is particularly advantageous for individuals who have crowded teeth but wish to avoid extractions.
Functional Orthodontics also helps to improve bite function, alleviate jaw pain, and reduce the risk of future dental issues related to crowded teeth. Patients often find this approach more comfortable and less invasive, as it prioritizes preserving all teeth and promoting a balanced facial profile.
BRACES TREATMENT WITHOUT REMOVING TEETH
At Oasis Dental, we offer braces treatments that avoid the need for tooth extraction. Utilizing a combination of ALF Orthodontics, jaw expanders and braces, we address dental crowding and misalignment effectively. Jaw expanders widen the upper jaw, creating space for teeth to align properly, which can significantly reduce or eliminate the need for extractions. This approach is ideal for preserving natural tooth structure while achieving desired alignment results, offering a less invasive alternative that appeals to both teens and adults. The use of ALF appliance and jaw expanders in conjunction with braces not only optimizes dental alignment but also enhances overall treatment efficiency and comfort.

JAW EXPANDER TREATMENT TO AVOID TREATMENTS
Jaw Expander Treatment is a strategic option to manage orthodontic issues without the use of braces, especially in younger patients whose jaws are still developing. The treatment involves a device that gradually widens the palate, helping to correct bite problems and reduce dental crowding. This non-brace approach applies gentle pressure to the upper jaw, increasing space for proper tooth alignment and potentially preventing the need for braces in the future. Besides improving dental alignment, this treatment can enhance facial aesthetics and function. Recommended for children exhibiting early signs of dental crowding, jaw expander treatment provides a significant advantage in maintaining a healthy, well-aligned smile as they mature.

FAQs ABOUT BRACES
At what age should my child first visit an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic checkup as early as 3 years old but no later than age 7 to detect any subtle problems with jaw growth and emerging teeth.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
The duration of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the individual case, but most treatments last between 18 to 24 months.
Is orthodontic treatment painful?
While braces adjustments can cause temporary discomfort, any pain is typically mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Can adults benefit from braces?
Absolutely! Braces are effective for patients of all ages, including adults. It's never too late to improve your smile.
How do I care for my braces?
Good oral hygiene is crucial. Brush and floss regularly, avoid hard and sticky foods, and attend all scheduled appointments.
Can you avoid teeth removal for braces treatment for teenagers or adults?
Yes, teeth removal for braces treatment can often be avoided depending on the specific dental issues and the amount of available space in the mouth. Orthodontic techniques like dental expanders or clear aligners can provide alternatives to tooth extraction by creating space and properly aligning the teeth without removal.
Does your dental clinic provide jaw expander treatment for kids, teens, or adults?
Yes, our clinic offers jaw expander treatments for patients of all ages. Jaw expanders are used to widen the upper jaw so that the upper and lower teeth will fit together better. They are most commonly used in children and teenagers while their jaw bones are still developing but can be adapted for adult use in certain cases.
What do jaw expanders look like?
Jaw expanders are orthodontic devices that fit across the upper palate. They usually consist of a central screw connected to bands that attach to the back molars, gradually widening the upper jaw when adjusted.
