OURVISION

To improve the lives of as many patients as possible through the Beyond Braces health-focused approach

The Beyond Braces smile is the outcome of our approach which focuses on early, 2-phase treatment of children to improve the growth of the facial and jaw structure, to improve airway and sleep health, and to focus on TMJ and neuromuscular health.

We will lessen the need for more complicated, traumatic, and compromised treatment such as those involving tooth extraction and jaw surgery.

We will be relentless at educating our team, colleagues, parents, and patients on the importance of tongue position, lip seal, and nasal breathing.

We will always recognize our fortunate and unique position to impact the trajectory of our patients' health like no other health care provider

OURAPPROACH

We NEVER compromise facial aesthetics in order to get straight teeth:

Too often, Facial appearance is often significantly altered with orthodontics, which traditionally involves retracting teeth in the face Our philosophy is centered on treatments that reveal and enhance natural beauty We focus on achieving full facial balance through less invasive techniques, creating wider, more appealing smiles that emphasize the natural aesthetics of each individual's face

The DURATION that our patients remain in braces is dramatically reduced:

There is common perception that orthodontic treatment may take upwards of 2-3 years With the technologies that we employ, and our non-extraction philosophy, we are often ale to complete treatment in as little as 12 months

Our treatment planning is focused on WHOLE BODY health:

We believe in focusing on a patients overall health regardless of age, and will not compromise this simply to achieve the result of straight teeth Too often, this can be overlooked This can result in compromised airways, which have been associated with headaches, TMJ problems and sleep apnea Our goal is to establish an overall balance for dentofacial health and development, contributing to overall health and wellness

We always treat the CAUSE, not the symptom:

Crooked teeth and bad bites often stem from unfavourable dentofacial growth, often due to poor oral posture such as mouth breathing By addressing the cause of mouth breathing and promoting nose breathing, we can optimize facial development and enhance the stability of orthodontic outcomes

We recommend that patients seek an orthodontic evaluation at an EARLY AGE. as young as age six is beneficial.

People can benefit from orthodontic treatment at any age; however, there are many advantages to seeking early diagnosis, as treatment options become more limited once all the permanent teeth have come in and facial growth has slowed

It is our recommendation that children have an orthodontic check-up by the age of 6 This way, problems with the growth of the jaws or crowding of the teeth can be addressed, often eliminating the need for complicated treatment, such as adult tooth removal or surgery, after the adolescent growth spurt Additionally, some of the underlying causes of orthodontic problems, such as dependency on mouth breathing instead of nose breathing, thumb sucking, and dental decay, can be recognized early to prevent problems from worsening

We focus our treatment planning on maintaining a healthy airway and DO NOT believe in tooth extraction or the use of headgear:

We believe that removing teeth to alleviate crowding can compromise the airways and lead to undesirable facial development Instead, we utilize various methods to create space for all the teeth to be properly aligned as nature intended, avoiding the need for extractions

Our technology and treatment planning often allows us to reverse unwanted effects of previous orthodontic treatment

Adults unhappy with previous orthodontic treatment results can often see dramatic improvements Treatment may be as simple as broadening the smile or as involved as opening spaces where teeth were extracted and replacing teeth Sometimes, even simple changes can help reduce or eliminate headaches and TMJ symptoms.

EARLY PREVENTION ISKEY

Dr Dhol is passionate about two-phase orthodontic treatment Too often, opportunities for growth modification are missed, and unnecessary dental extraction surgery may be the consequence With an understanding of etiological factors such as airway obstruction, tongue posture, and muscle imbalances, we can alter negative growth patterns and steer growth towards an optimal path. A critical component of early orthodontic treatment is myofunctional therapy to ‘retrain’ the muscle and improve the long-term stability of our treatment Our methods allow for correction of severe crowding, cross-bites and functional shifts, hyper/hypo-divergent skeletal growth patterns, chronic mouth breathing and snoring, hyper/hypotonic muscle imbalance, constricted dental arches class II/III skeletal growth patterns, airway obstruction, and gingival hyperplasia secondary to mouth breathing

OUR APPROACH

What is Early Age Orthodontics?

Early age orthodontics addresses issues like crowded teeth or bite concerns before adult teeth come in and while jaw growth is still active. This phase of treatment helps develop the upper and lower jaws for optimal facial development and creates better foundations, simplifying teenage braces

Improving the Outcome of Teenage Braces

Optimizing jaw growth can improve speech, chewing, breathing, and sleep Correcting crowding of incoming adult teeth enhances oral hygiene and boosts selfesteem and confidence

Jaw Growth Development

40% of jaw growth is complete by age 4, and 90% by ages 11-12 Addressing jaw growth issues within this window of opportunity is crucial.

Myths about Orthodontics

A common misconception is that treatment should start only after all adult teeth are in. However, early intervention can be more effective Orthodontics is about more than straightening adult teeth

Recommended Age to Visit an Orthodontist

The Canadian Association of Orthodontists recommends kids see an orthodontist no later than age 7 At Beyond Braces, we offer free consultations for kids earlier than age 7 to stay ahead of potential issues Treatment duration depends on your child's unique situation, and your orthodontist will develop a tailored plan

Options for Early Growth Modification

Early growth modification, often called phase one treatment, may involve appliances to widen the upper jaw, bring it forward, make room for incoming adult teeth, and encourage the lower jaw to come forward These appliances can be fixed or removable. Your orthodontist will help choose the best option for your child

Signs Parents Can Look For

Parents should watch for signs indicating the need for orthodontic treatment, such as a large overbite, trouble chewing or swallowing, or speech issues If you're curious about how orthodontics can help your child, book a free consultation with us today

OUR APPROACH

Signs your Teen May Need Orthodontics

While misaligned teeth are an obvious sign that your teen may benefit from orthodontics, other issues may also indicate the need for treatment These include: bite problems difficulty chewing speech issues, headaches, mouth breathing, and sleep disturbances

Myths about Teen Orthodontics

There are many myths circulating about the effectiveness of braces compared to Invisalign for teens Due to advancements in materials, techniques, and practitioner experience, Invisalign is not only a great alternative to braces but may actually be a better option for teenagers in many cases The choice between braces and Invisalign often depends on personal preferences and lifestyle. It is important to remember that while both braces and Invisalign are excellent tools, it is your orthodontist who ultimately creates your new smile

Braces Vs Invisalign

When deciding between braces and Invisalign, teens should consider their extracurricular activities and lifestyle Generally speaking, there are fewer visits and shorter appointments with Invisalign compared to braces Many teens find Invisalign offers numerous advantages, including easier brushing and flossing since the aligners can be removed, and fewer dietary restrictions as there is no concern for breakage

Our Approach

Regardless of the choice between Invisalign or braces, at Beyond Braces, we promote healthy nutrition, excellent oral hygiene, and careful cleaning of the appliances. At our orientation visit, we review all care and maintenance procedures and provide excellent tools to assist you With the option of Atome virtual monitoring, we can also motivate and coach our teen patients along the way

OUR APPROACH

Orthodontics for All Ages

At Beyond Braces, we specialize in orthodontic treatments for all ages, including adults We believe that healthy gums and bones are crucial because they provide a solid foundation for addressing tooth alignment and bite correction at any stage of life

Orthodontic treatment not only enhances appearance and self-confidence but also plays a vital role in improving overall oral health

Crooked teeth and improper bites can lead to various issues such as tooth decay, gum and bone loss, abnormal wear of tooth surfaces, frequent headaches, and discomfort related to TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) or TMD (Temporomandibular Disorder) pain

Addressing these concerns through orthodontic treatment can alleviate these symptoms and prevent further dental complications.

Our Approach

Our advanced techniques and appliances reduce discomfort, decrease visit frequency, shorten treatment time, and offer multiple options, including translucent braces, Invisalign, transparent aligners, lingual braces, or light force faces During a complimentary consultation, we determine the best treatment, outline the plan, time, and cost. We ensure patients fully understand the process and have time to ask questions.

We’ve helped over 3,000 patients, including many adults, proving it’s never too late to improve your smile and health At Beyond Braces, it’s all about our patients

At Beyond Braces, our sterilization practices are extensive, encompassing every aspect of our operations to ensure the highest standards of hygiene and patient safety We understand that effective sterilization is the cornerstone of a safe orthodontic practice, and we take meticulous steps to prevent cross-contamination Our rigorous protocols are designed to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and fungi, significantly reducing the risk of infections for our patients.

Compliance with health regulations is a top priority, and our practices meet or exceed industry standards, demonstrating our commitment to a safe and hygienic environment This not only safeguards our patients but also protects our staff from occupational exposure to infectious agents

Our rigorous sterilization protocols contribute to better treatment outcomes by reducing the risk of posttreatment infections, ensuring smoother, more successful orthodontic procedures By prioritizing extensive sterilization, we build trust and confidence with our patients, reinforcing our reputation for excellence and professionalism in orthodontic care
