When teeth are misaligned or the bite (the way upper and lower teeth meet when the mouth is closed) is irregular, many problems can arise. These flaws have aesthetic, functional and health consequences. That is why it is important to correct them with suitable orthodontic treatment, as a teenager or as an adult.

At Clinique dentaire Saint-Étienne in Lévis (Saint-Étienne sector), we offer traditional or innovative solutions that can begin as early as the start of adolescence.

Treatments in this category

  • Spark (clear aligners)

    Improving the alignment of your teeth and jaws in complete comfort and discretion is possible, thanks to Spark clear aligner treatment. It uses removable, transparent trays custom-made to follow your progress. This solution also fits easily into daily life.

  • Traditional orthodontics

    With today’s braces, the brackets are low-friction and the alignment wires are much more flexible. This makes treatment less uncomfortable and faster. We offer more discreet, comfortable and effective bracket options.

Problems treated with orthodontics

Orthodontics deals with misaligned teeth and jaws and offers solutions to correct them and avoid the related problems, such as aesthetic concerns, difficulty speaking and chewing, a higher risk of tooth wear and build-up of plaque and tartar. The problems treated can take many forms:

  • Crossbite: this is when upper teeth sit behind lower teeth when the mouth is closed. It can cause abnormal wear of the affected teeth;
  • Spacing: some teeth are too far from their neighbours or simply out of line. Besides not looking good, this increases the risk of bacteria getting in between the teeth;
  • Crowding: teeth sometimes overlap their neighbours, which makes them harder to clean. Tartar then tends to build up between them;
  • Open bite: the jaws do not meet as they should when closed. This bite problem can make chewing difficult and cause fatigue and pain in the joints;
  • Deep bite: the upper teeth come down too far over the lower teeth, which can cause tooth wear and joint pain;
  • Underbite: the lower jaw is too far forward, so the lower teeth overlap the upper ones.
