Cosmetic & Orthodontics for Lockport Residents

An overbite, crossbite or open bite is about more than how your teeth look. Bite planning happens at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg, starting with a full look at how everything fits.

Looking past the front teeth

A bite concern calls for the whole picture.

Lockport sits outside the City of Winnipeg, so residents travel in to Winnipeg North Dental for orthodontic planning. A straight row of teeth is just one part of what gets reviewed. Root support, jaw relationships and how the teeth work together all influence which movements are realistic.

Clear aligners can manage suitable overbites, open bites, crossbites and front-to-back differences, sometimes with removable elastics linking the upper and lower teeth. Certain movements are more predictable with braces or with a combined approach. Veneers can change how selected teeth appear, yet they do not correct a bite or move a root.

Jaw and root review

Photographs and appropriate X-rays join the clinical exam, since what shows above the gum tells only part of the story.

Elastics, when planned

These small removable bands connect the arches to help correct selected bite relationships as part of an aligner plan.

Appliance follows movement

Direct control from braces can suit a broad range of movements, so the correction you need weighs heavily in the choice.

Mapping out your appointments

Start with the exam, then talk through the schedule.

Orthodontic treatment is rarely one appointment, so bring your scheduling questions with you from the beginning.

Request your visit
  1. 01

    Tell the clinic what you have noticed

    It could be teeth that do not meet, or an upper row sitting behind the lower one. Mention you are coming from Lockport and ask what the first visit involves.

  2. 02

    Go through the diagnostic stage

    Teeth, gums, bite and jaw relationships are examined, and records help show where each tooth would have to go and which movements need extra control.

  3. 03

    Compare appliances honestly

    Ask how many visits aligners or braces might take in your case, what follow-up would be needed, and how progress would be checked along the way.

Helpful details about cosmetic & orthodontics in Lockport.

Ask our team
Can clear aligners fix an overbite?

Some can be addressed that way. Whether yours is suitable depends on tooth position, root support and jaw relationships, and that is decided at the assessment.

What would rubber bands on aligners be doing?

Elastics run between the upper and lower teeth to help shift certain bite relationships. They come off with the trays, and not every plan uses them.

Could the issue be my jaw and not my teeth?

Jaw relationships are part of the review, because they influence which tooth movements are realistic. The examination is where this gets sorted out.

Would veneers hide a bite problem?

They might change how the front teeth look, but the bite and the roots stay where they are. Orthodontics may be the safer and more conservative discussion.

Does a corrected bite need retainers too?

Yes, retention follows orthodontic treatment of either kind. Teeth can keep shifting throughout life, so retainers should be worn as prescribed.
