Our patients of all ages benefit from the expert advice of our qualified orthodontist. Following an initial evaluation, we can suggest orthodontic appliances that are adapted to your teeth.
When Should Your Child See an Orthodontic Specialist?
Many situations can lead to early consultation with a dentist specializing in orthodontics. Sometimes, it is preferable to consult as early as 5 years old - when the baby's teeth are all set. For example, if the child has a gap between the upper or lower incisors (gap teeth), a deviation of the teeth, a significant shift between the upper and lower jaws, or a lack of space leading to overlapping teeth.
Orthodontic Treatment for Adults
At Centre Dentaire Champlain, you can still correct the positioning of your teeth thanks to the orthodontic service in Gatineau. In addition to children and teenagers, this treatment applies to adults who wish to correct the defects of their teeth.
We offer Invisalign, an alternative to traditional braces designed to correct dental irregularities and which revolutionizes the field of cosmetic dentistry. Invisalign is a transparent, discreet, comfortable, and custom-made dental appliance that you must wear by following the instructions given by the dentist.

How to Take Care of Your Braces?
