Innovative Teeth Straightening 
for Kids, Teens, and Adults

Invisalign at Ball Family Dental can treat a wide range of alignment issues, including crossbites, crowding, open bites, gapped teeth, overbites, and underbites. Invisalign clear aligners are made of SmartTrack®, a clinically proven material that improves control of tooth movements, with desired results achieved in an estimated 12–18 months.
When you choose Invisalign in Killam, AB, you’ll switch to a new set of virtually invisible aligners about every two weeks. Although you need to wear your aligners for 20–22 hours a day, they’re removed at mealtime and for oral hygiene, making it far easier to properly brush and floss your teeth than fixed clear braces.

Invisalign

When a baby tooth is lost too early, nearby teeth can move into the empty space, thereby blocking the proper eruption of permanent teeth. This can lead to crowding, overlapping, malocclusion (improper bite alignment), or failure to erupt.
A space maintainer acts as a placeholder to keep the space open and prevent other teeth from shifting into the empty space. This helps permanent teeth come in straight and also prevents the need for extensive orthodontics in Killam, AB, later on, which may include braces or even tooth extraction.

Space Maintenance in Children

Teeth have a natural tendency to move back (relapse) into their original position after teeth straightening, whether you wore traditional metal braces or clear aligners. With compliance, retainers prevent a relapse from occurring, ensuring your hard work, time, and money doesn’t go to waste!
Removable retainers are customized from BPA-free plastic and fit snugly to maintain the correct position of all of your teeth. Bonded or fixed retainers consist of a wire that is bonded most often behind the lower front six teeth or sometimes the upper front teeth if you have a high risk of front tooth movement.

Removable and Bonded Retainers

Expansion appliances are orthodontic devices designed to widen the dental arch—most often the upper jaw—to correct crowding, crossbites, and narrow arches. This treatment is most commonly advised in children aged 8–18 because their jaws are still developing and can be guided more easily.
Fixed expanders are cemented to the molars and adjusted with a key, whereas removable versions are worn for a predetermined period. After the desired width is achieved, the appliance remains in place for several months to enable new bone to form and stabilize, before orthodontic treatment at Ball Family Dental, such as Invisalign.

Expansion Appliances

The HealthyStart System works with the natural forces of tooth eruption in children with soft, comfortable, removable devices that gently guide erupting teeth into correct alignment. In addition, HealthyStart aids in the correct growth and alignment of the lower jaw, expanding arches to ensure space for incoming permanent teeth.
If your child has symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing, HealthyStart maximizes airflow by bringing their upper and lower jaws forward, thereby opening up their airway. By addressing these issues early, HealthyStart promotes healthier growth in children and their long-term well-being.

HealthyStart®

It’s true that braces, clear aligners, and other orthodontic treatments can help create beautiful, straight smiles at any stage of life. But malocclusion can cause difficulty chewing, speech issues, bruxism (teeth clenching/grinding), excessive tooth wear, and even airway issues that cause obstructive sleep apnea.
Properly aligned teeth enhance oral function, make it easier to clean teeth, and improve both your oral and overall health. At Ball Family Dental, we strive to offer affordable and customized teeth straightening in Killam, AB, some of which <a href="/insurance-and-financing/">insurance may cover</a>, and we can also help you set up financing.
