Traditional Braces in NE Calgary
Proven orthodontic treatment for a straighter, healthier smile, with metal and ceramic options for children, teens, and adults.

Overview
Traditional braces remain one of the most effective and reliable orthodontic treatments available. At London Square Dental, we use modern bracket systems that are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever before. Whether you need minor alignment correction or complex bite adjustment, our experienced team delivers lasting results for patients of all ages.

Metal Braces
Our metal braces feature high grade stainless steel brackets that are significantly smaller and sleeker than older designs. They deliver precise, predictable tooth movement for even the most complex orthodontic cases. Metal braces are the most cost effective option and can be personalized with coloured elastic bands for a fun, customized look that teens love.
Ceramic Braces
For patients who prefer a more discreet appearance, ceramic braces use tooth coloured or clear brackets that blend naturally with your teeth. They work with the same proven mechanics as metal braces but are far less noticeable. Ceramic braces are a popular choice among adult patients and image conscious teens who want effective treatment without the look of traditional metal.
Signs You May Need Traditional Braces
- Crowded or overlapping teeth that lack space to clean properly
- Gaps between teeth that cause food to get stuck or affect your bite
- Bite problems such as an overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite
- Jaw misalignment causing discomfort or difficulty chewing
- Protruding front teeth that increase risk of injury
Your Treatment Journey
Treatment begins with a thorough orthodontic consultation including digital X-rays, photographs, and impressions. We create a customized treatment plan that maps out every stage of your tooth movement. After your braces are placed, you will visit us every four to six weeks for adjustments, with each visit taking about 20 to 30 minutes as we monitor your progress closely.
Retention & Aftercare
Once your braces come off, retainers keep your teeth in their new positions. We provide custom fitted retainers and clear guidance on wear schedules. Consistent retainer use is essential in the months following treatment to ensure your results last, and we include follow up visits to monitor your retention.
