If you are looking for braces in Toronto, our team is here to help. At Dental Arts Toronto, we offer braces, early treatment for kids and Myobrace therapy. We treat children, teens and adults. With clinics in both Uptown and Downtown Toronto, a straighter smile is always close by. Best of all, your journey starts with a free consultation.

What Braces Can Fix

Braces are still one of the most reliable ways to fix bite and alignment issues. For example, they can correct crowded or crooked teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, crossbites and open bites. Beyond looks, straight teeth are easier to clean. As a result, they lower your risk of cavities, gum disease and uneven wear over time.

Getting Braces in Toronto: How Treatment Works

Every smile is different, so every plan should be too. Your journey begins with a free visit at either of our clinics. During this visit, we check your bite, take digital records and talk about your goals. Then we map out a clear plan, including timing, costs and what to expect at each stage. After that, regular adjustment visits keep your progress on track.

Early Interceptive Treatment for Children

Children should have their first orthodontic check by age seven. Why so early? Because early interceptive treatment can guide jaw growth while a child is still growing. In many cases, this reduces the need for extractions or long treatment later. Our pediatric dentistry team watches for crowding, thumb habits and bite issues at routine checkups. However, a focused orthodontic check gives parents the full picture.

Myobrace: A Gentle, Habit-Focused Option

For some children, Myobrace is a helpful option alongside or instead of braces. This removable appliance targets the habits behind crooked teeth, such as mouth breathing and poor tongue posture. It is worn for a short time each day and overnight. Over time, Myobrace supports natural alignment and healthy jaw growth. During your visit, we will explain whether Myobrace, braces or both would suit your child best.

Where to Get Braces in Toronto: Downtown and Uptown

We proudly offer orthodontic care from two convenient Toronto clinics.

Both offices welcome new patients, referrals and families from across the city. In other words, quality care is always close to home or work.

Braces or Invisalign: Which Is Right for You?

Many adults ask about clear aligners as well. In fact, our practice is home to an Invisalign Diamond+ Provider. If you want a nearly invisible option, ask about Invisalign and clear aligners during your visit. We will compare both options with you, because the right choice depends on your bite, lifestyle and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions About Braces

How long do braces take to work?

Most patients wear braces for 12 to 24 months. However, treatment time depends on how complex your case is. Minor crowding may take a year or less, while bigger bite issues take longer. During your first visit, we will give you a clear estimate for your smile.

At what age should my child get braces?
There is no single right age. Most children start braces between ages 10 and 14, once most adult teeth have come in. That said, an early check by age seven helps us spot problems sooner. In some cases, early interceptive treatment or Myobrace can shorten or simplify later care.
Do braces hurt?

Braces should not cause sharp pain. You may feel some pressure or tenderness for a few days after each adjustment. In the meantime, soft foods and over the counter pain relief usually keep you comfortable. If a wire or bracket ever irritates your mouth, call us and we will fix it quickly.
