Traditional Orthodontics in Edmonton

Modern orthodontic technology has made major strides in improving the look, feel, and function of traditional metal braces in Edmonton. While cosmetic treatment methods like Invisalign clear aligner trays provide an aesthetic option, there are instances when metal braces are still the most effective orthodontic treatment method for complex smile concerns. Nowadays, modern braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever before, featuring low profiles and strong adhesives for a less invasive look and feel.
