Helping teens smile with pride
Most kids lose their last baby teeth around age 13, and by then, their adult smile is beginning to take shape. This is the ideal time to address orthodontic concerns like crowding, spacing, or bite misalignment before they become more complex issues later in life.
Orthodontics isn’t just about appearances. A properly aligned bite makes brushing and flossing easier, reduces wear on enamel, and helps prevent jaw pain and headaches. Many of our teen patients complete their treatment in as little as 6 to 24 months, and enjoy the benefits for years to come.
- Crowded teeth that overlap or are tough to clean
- Spacing issues, like noticeable gaps between teeth
- Overbite: top teeth sit too far forward
- Underbite: bottom teeth extend past the upper ones
- Crossbite: teeth don’t align properly when biting down
- Chronic discomfort: headaches, jaw tension, or neck pain
Orthodontic options for every lifestyle
We know that teens care about how they look, and how they feel. That’s why we offer a variety of treatment options to suit their needs, preferences, and budgets.
Traditional Braces
Modern metal braces are smaller, sleeker, and more comfortable than ever before. They’re still one of the most effective and affordable ways to align teeth.
Clear Brackets
Looking for something more discreet? Clear ceramic brackets offer the same reliability as metal braces but blend in better with the natural tooth color.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners like Invisalign are a favorite for teens. These removable, nearly invisible trays straighten teeth gradually, without metal or wires. They can be taken out for meals, photos, and special events, giving teens a bit more flexibility.
Cost of orthodontics in Mississauga
Orthodontic care is an investment in lifelong oral health. With dental insurance, families typically pay between $3,000 and $5,000+ out-of-pocket, depending on the plan. Without insurance, costs usually range from $4,000 to $6,000+. After a full oral exam, we’ll provide a personalized treatment plan and detailed cost breakdown.
The final cost depends on:
- The condition of your teen’s teeth and gums
- How far the teeth need to move
- The treatment method chosen
- The overall length of the treatment
To get an accurate estimate, the best first step is a consultation with a qualified Dentist in Mississauga, ON. From there, we can map out a timeline, cost, and answer all your questions.

Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend bringing your teen in for a consultation around the time they lose their last baby teeth. However, it’s never too late—many adults choose orthodontic care, too!
Not when first applied, but some soreness can happen as teeth begin to move. Most patients describe it as mild discomfort. Let us know if the pain lasts—we can help.
Sticky, chewy, or hard foods (like popcorn, caramel, gum, or apples on the core) can damage braces or make them harder to clean. Limit sugary and acidic foods to avoid decay.
