Cosmetic & Orthodontics for Waverley West Residents
Clear trays get most of the attention, but fixed braces remain a real choice. Our McPhillips Street clinic can compare both for the movements your teeth would need.

The fixed appliance
Sometimes visible is simply fine.
Not everybody is troubled by showing brackets and wires. If you would rather have an appliance that stays put than one you must remember to reinsert, traditional braces deserve a fair hearing. They work continuously and can give direct control over a broad range of tooth movements, while asking you to change how you clean around them.
Waverley West is an area in Winnipeg, and anyone there who is drawn to this approach can ask about it at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. The final recommendation depends on your teeth, roots, bite and jaw relationships. Your preference matters, too, as does the daily cooperation you can honestly offer.

Nothing to remember
Once placed, braces stay on your teeth during active treatment, so there is no tray to misplace or forget.
Direct control
Brackets and wires act on teeth throughout treatment, and they can manage many kinds of movement.
Extra cleaning effort
Fixed hardware creates more places for plaque to gather, and your cleaning routine needs to adapt accordingly.

Helpful details about cosmetic & orthodontics in Waverley West.
Ask our teamIs it unusual to ask for braces these days?
Not at all. Aligners are popular, yet many patients still have sound reasons to choose a fixed appliance, and some tooth movements may be more predictable with one.
When would braces be preferred on clinical grounds?
Some movements are less predictable with aligners. After reviewing root position and bite, the dentist may suggest braces or a combined approach for those cases.
What is harder about keeping braces clean?
Food and plaque can collect around brackets and wires, so your usual routine has to change. Ask to be shown what cleaning would involve for your own teeth.
Will I still have retainers when the braces come off?
Yes. Retention follows braces just as it follows aligners, because teeth can drift when retainers are not worn as prescribed.
Could I change my mind after an assessment and choose aligners?
You can raise it at any stage before starting. Whether aligners would suit depends on what your teeth need and how reliably you could keep them in.
Can tooth shape be refined after the braces are finished?
That is often a reasonable question once teeth are aligned. Small edges may suit reshaping or bonding, and whitening could also be considered, depending on what the dentist finds.
Whom does a Waverley West resident contact about braces?
