MONTREZ À VOS DENTS QUI EST LE PATRON
Un traitement orthodontique pour adulte adapté à vos besoins!
LES TRAITEMENTS ORTHODONTIQUES POUR ADULTES
L’alignement des dents peut être obtenu à n’importe quel âge si vos dents, gencives et l’os qui retient vos dents sont sains.
VOICI NOS OBJECTIFS DE TRAITEMENT POUR LES PATIENTS ADULTES:
Nous vous fournirons un plan de traitement orthodontique complet et détaillé dont le but est de vous donner le magnifique sourire que vous avez toujours désiré et une occlusion fonctionnelle pour vous aider à conserver votre dentition pour la vie et ainsi mieux mastiquer pour faciliter la digestion.
Nous coordonnerons les soins avec votre dentiste généraliste et d’autres spécialistes dentaires, si nécessaire, pour vous fournir les meilleures options de traitement pour des résultats esthétiques et fonctionnels optimaux.
Nous savons aussi qu’il y a une question d’esthétisme qui peut être un frein pour certains adultes qui aimeraient entreprendre un traitement orthodontique. Sachez que dorénavant plusieurs types de traitements sont disponibles et qu’il existe des techniques qui sont plus discrètes et qui peuvent correspondre à vos besoins. Par exemple, vous pourriez opter pour des broches transparentes, pour le traitement Invisalign ou tout autre traitement similaire. N’hésitez pas à prendre rendez-vous pour une consultation. Grâce à une première rencontre, nous pourrons discuter des options qui s’offrent à vous selon votre situation!
WHAT HAPPENS AT THE FIRST VISIT?
The first visit to our clinic starts with a friendly introduction and a tour of our facilities. Then together, we fill in and revise a medical questionnaire before taking digital photos of your face and your teeth. Afterward, Dr. Archambault, Dr. Morton or Dr. Sallard will perform a complete orthodontic examination. And finally, your child’s orthodontist will answer all of your questions and send a report to your dentist.
If you choose to begin an orthodontic treatment at our clinic, the length of the visits will vary depending on the stages of the treatment. At each appointment, you will meet with the orthodontist and a technician that will take care of your child’s treatment.

How long will my orthodontic treatment take?
The length of a treatment depends on the orthodontic problem of each patient and may be influenced by many factors, such as the severity of the problem, the growth rate of the jaws and the collaboration of the patient. In general, the length of a treatment varies between 12 and 36 months. On average, a person wears braces for about 24-30 months. Excellent oral hygiene and assiduous attendance to regular appointments will contribute to keeping the treatment on track.
How often will I need to visit the orthodontist?
Your appointment schedule will depend on your individual treatment plan. The first appointment to install braces generally takes 1 to 2 hours. Most patients come back for adjustments every 4 to 8 weeks. These appointments can take about 20 to 30 minutes each. Sometimes, there are specific situations that require a more frequent verification.
I am an adult, is it too late for an orthodontic treatment?
Many of our patients are adults. 25% of all orthodontic patients are. Health, happiness, and self-esteem are also very important for adults. There is no age limit for orthodontic treatment; however, your teeth and gums must be in good health to begin and orthodontic treatment and be monitored throughout treatment by your general dentist. New techniques and materials, supervised by an orthodontist, such as Invisalign® transparent devices, have made treatment much less visible and much more comfortable.
What will happen if I need to postpone an appointment?
If you must postpone an appointment, please call to inform us as soon as possible. Canceling an appointment may delay the progress of your treatment.
Please call us during business hours at 450 218-1892. We will require a 48hrs (2 business days) notification for any appointment modifications/cancellations. Fees may apply if delays are not respected.
Do dental braces cause pain?
Normally, ‘’braces’’ do not cause pain. However, after certain adjustment visits, the teeth may be sensitive and cause some discomfort for a few days. In this case, following the recommendations of your orthodontist, medications such as Advil or Tylenol may provide relief Most patients experience only minor discomfort after adjustment visits for a few days.
