Contact Antosz Vincelli Orthodontics - Canmore

At Antosz Vincelli Orthodontics - Canmore, our orthodontists use Invisalign to address misalignment issues in the teeth and jaws in both teenagers and adults.

Invisalign clear orthodontic aligners can be used to straighten teeth without metal or wires. For anyone who has concerns about the aesthetics and general upkeep that come with braces, Invisalign could be the solution.

When it comes to aesthetics, the clear plastic construction of Invisalign aligners makes them very low profile – practically invisible – when worn. The aligners are also removable, so in terms of upkeep, they're easy to clean and also allow patients to brush and floss their teeth as usual.

Additionally, Invisalign can be quite comfortable to wear, since the smoothness of the plastic tends to preclude much of the friction that braces can cause.

More About Invisalign

At Antosz Vincelli Orthodontics - Canmore, our orthodontists can prescribe braces for children, teenagers, and adults to help resolve a wide range of misalignment issues.

Depending on the nature or severity of your misalignment, treatment with braces can take anywhere from 6 to 24 months.

When it comes to straightening teeth, braces are the most common treatment, and they are considered highly effective. Made up of wires and brackets that are fixed to the teeth, braces gradually shift the teeth into their prescribed straighter positions via gentle, constant pressure.  

More About Braces

Sleep Apnea is brief pauses in breathing that occur during sleep. This breathing disorder can affect anyone, including children, teenagers, and adults of any age. 

These pauses in breathing are usually the result of a narrow and/or partially blocked airway. In patients where these issues are further aggravated by narrow or receded jaws, orthodontic treatment can help resolve sleep apnea. 

Our Canmore orthodontists can help patients with sleep apnea by correcting misaligned teeth and jaws, and by prescribing custom-fitted appliances that can make breathing easier during sleep.

If you or your child suffers from disrupted sleep, an assessment for sleep apnea may be a good idea.

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) can occur in children, teenagers, and adults. TMD affects the hinge joint that connects the jaw to the temporal bones of the skull.

When this joint becomes misaligned, it can result in significant jaw discomfort or pain, neck pain, headaches, teeth grinding, joint locking or restricted movement, and various clicking and popping sounds when the jaw opens and closes. 

All of these issues can cause serious disruptions to your day-to-day life. They may affect your mood, your ability to speak and eat, and even the quality of your sleep.

If you suffer from TMD, our Canmore orthodontists can help, with treatments ranging from straightforward bite adjustments to corrective bite surgery.
