BRACES AND INVISALIGN FOR ADULTS – HEALTHY, CONFIDENT SMILES AT ANY AGE
Regardless of our age, we’re all entitled to have a smile that we can be proud of. Today, approximately one in five orthodontic patients are adults – so it comes as no surprise that many of our patients are also adults. Orthodontic treatments such as Braces and Invisalign, even at later stages in life can dramatically improve your personal appearance and self-esteem, in addition to positively contributing to your dental health. We all know that there is no comparison to natural, healthy teeth that will last you a lifetime.
Aligning teeth through orthodontic treatment permits better oral hygiene, which in turn helps to prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and bone loss. A proper bite also helps to prevent abnormal wear of tooth surfaces and sometimes improves jaw and joint pain.
Having treatment as an adult herself, Dr. Virdee is quite sympathetic about the concerns that you may have with orthodontic treatment. We know that you want orthodontic care that is discrete, comfortable, painless, efficient and most importantly, fast. We also know that you have a busy lifestyle, and may not always have the time for frequent appointments. Good news! We offer state-of-the-art techniques and appliances that are designed just for you and your busy lifestyle. These appliances are less noticeable, reduce discomfort levels, decease the frequency of visits and get you in and out of treatment quickly so you can LIVE, LAUGH, SMILE everyday!
The best part of your orthodontic journey at Hometown Orthodontics is that Dr. Virdee will be with you every step of the way. Dr. Virdee is one of the top orthodontists in Sudbury and a leading orthodontist in Mississauga.

Adults have numerous choices today on the types of orthodontic treatments they can choose from.
These options are discrete and easy to maintain.
Invisalign
No one needs to know you’re straightening your teeth! We take pride in using a modern treatment approach to give you the confident, youthful and healthy smile you have always wanted – without the use of traditional braces. Dr. Virdee’s philosophy is that almost every patient can be treated with Invisalign. So it comes as no surprise that Dr. Virdee is the top Invisalign Dentist in Sudbury. In fact, more than 75% of our adult patients are treated using Invisalign.
Invisalign aligners are a series of trays that fit over your teeth and are custom-made for your mouth only.
These trays are made of smooth, comfortable, virtually invisible plastic material that gradually shift your teeth into their proper positions. The convenience of Invisalign therapy means that it has minimal impact on your lifestyle. The trays are clear so you don’t have to be self-conscious about how you look – hardly anyone will notice that you’re wearing them.
Since the aligners are removable, you can brush and floss normally and eat all your favorite foods. Have a date? Going to a big event or celebration?
Having family photos taken? No problem – you can take your Invisalign trays out and smile! To learn more about Invisalign, check out our Invisalign page.
While we love to see you, the best part of Invisalign is that you’re spending less time at our Sudbury orthodontist or our Port Credit orthodontist offices. The smooth, comfortable plastic aligner material won’t irritate your cheeks and gums and there are seldom any parts that break or need replacement so there are virtually no emergency visits. Since you will be given a series of trays to change regularly, the frequency of visits with us will be limited to approximately every 8-12 weeks. This means that you will have more time to LIVE, LAUGH, SMILE.

Clear or Ceramic Braces
If you don’t love the idea of Invisalign and aren’t a fan of traditional metal braces, there are several other options. Ceramic braces (also known as “clear braces”) are one of the best aesthetic alternative to traditional braces. These braces look and function the same way as traditional braces with the exception that they are virtually clear or tooth-coloured. They are fast and efficient and give you a healthy, confident smile without the attention that metal braces may give. Ceramic braces are just one way that Hometown Orthodontics strives to deliver you the latest technological advances in orthodontics. We offer ceramic braces in both our Mississauga and Sudbury locations.

Lingual Braces
If you’re looking for Lingual braces in Sudbury or Mississauga, you have come to the right place. These braces are the best option when you really want conventional braces or don’t like the idea of putting your fingers in your mouth to remove clear aligners. Dr. Virdee is the only doctor to provide lingual braces in the Greater Sudbury area and one of the few orthodontists that provides lingual braces in Mississauga.
Unlike conventional braces that are bonded on the front of your teeth, lingual braces or hidden braces are bonded to the back of your teeth. Because they are completely hidden, no one can really tell that you are wearing them – unless of course you tell them!
Using CAD/CAM technology, the braces and wires are engineered and manufactured exclusively for your teeth. This means that treatment is more efficient and generally, the overall treatment time is shorter. Lingual braces are also comfortable because they are custom-made to fit the contours of your teeth and, since they’re made of gold, they’re also a great choice for patients with nickel allergies.
Dr. Virdee is the only orthodontist in the Greater Sudbury area certified to treat patients with lingual braces. So if you really don’t want anyone knowing you’re straightening your teeth – she’s the orthodontist of choice!
Learn more about these totally invisible braces on our Lingual Braces page. And check out some of our patients smiles in our Smile Gallery.
