Crooked teeth, gaps, or an uneven bite can affect how your teeth look and work together. Dentus Family Dental offers braces in St. Albert to straighten teeth and correct certain bite problems.

If you’re looking for braces near you, we can explain how they work, how long treatment may take, and what to expect throughout the process.
What Are Dental Braces?
Braces are orthodontic appliances that gradually move teeth into better positions. Traditional braces have small brackets attached to the teeth and connected by a wire that applies controlled pressure to move them.
They can correct crowding, gaps, rotated teeth, and certain bite problems. Treatment time varies depending on the type and complexity of tooth movement required.
When Might You Need Braces?
Braces may be recommended when crooked or crowded teeth affect your bite, make cleaning difficult, or change the appearance of your smile.
Braces can help with the following dental concerns:
Crowding
Teeth overlap or look crooked when there isn’t enough room.
Spacing
Gaps between teeth may affect the appearance of your smile.
Rotated teeth
Teeth are twisted or turned out of their normal position.
Overbite
The upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth too much vertically.
Underbite
The lower front teeth sit ahead of the upper front teeth.
Crossbite
Some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth when biting.
Our dentist in St. Albert can examine your bite and discuss the available treatment options.
Understanding Your Orthodontic Options
There are different ways to straighten teeth. We offer the following options for orthodontics in St. Albert:
Treatment | How It Works | What to Know |
Traditional Braces | Metal brackets and wires gradually move teeth. | Fixed to the teeth throughout treatment. |
Invisalign Clear Aligners | Removable clear trays move teeth in stages. | Must be worn as directed for effective treatment. |
Not every option suits every patient. Our dentist can discuss which approach may work for your teeth and bite.
What Are the Benefits of Braces?
Braces may help:
Reduce unwanted spaces between teeth
Correct certain bite problems
Improve the position of overlapping teeth
Make daily oral hygiene easier once teeth are properly aligned
Improve how biting forces are distributed
The results depend on your original tooth position and the amount of correction needed.
How Does Treatment With Braces Work?
Our dentist will first examine your teeth and bite. We may take X-rays, photographs, or other dental records to help plan treatment.
Once the braces are fitted, the brackets and wire apply controlled forces to gradually move your teeth. You will return for regular appointments so we can check your progress and make adjustments.
Choosing braces usually means committing to regular visits over several months or longer. When choosing a dental clinic to get braces, ask about the expected timeline, appointment schedule, and daily care requirements before starting.
