Shoreline Orthodontics

DID YOU KNOW... The nitinol wires used in orthodontics were originally developed by NASA. These wires are highly flexible and maintain their shape after being distorted, which makes them very effective for straightening your teeth! During orthodontic treatments, the teeth are moved by putting a force on the tooth. Your body responds to that force by remodeling the bone around the tooth in a process called bone cell activation. This allows the tooth to move closer to the pos...ition of the archwire to relieve that force, making the teeth nice and straight. Various types of medications can alter bone metabolism, and this may be linked to faster or slower tooth movement in some individuals. We're so excited for Sarah who just got her upper braces on! * * * * #shorelineorthodontics #orthodontics #orthodontist #shorelinefamily #smilesdelivered #community #supportlocal #vancouverisland #vancouverislandproud #courtenaybc #comoxvalley #corussmiles #loveyoursmile #bigsmiles #smile #braces #invisalign

THE IMPORTANCE OF SEVEN DID YOU KNOW... Both the Canadian and American Association of Orthodontics recommends a child has their first orthodontic screening around age 7. At age 7 children have a mix of baby and adult teeth in place as well as the face and jaw are growing so we can see how the teeth fit together. This is an ideal time for an orthodontist to identify any problems that may exist and plan the most appropriate time for when orthodontic treatment should begin.... Head to our website and book your child's first consultation to find out which treatment is best for them. * * * * #shorelineorthodontics #orthodontics #orthodontist #shorelinefamily #smilesdelivered #community #supportlocal #westshore #duncan #langford #victoria #victoriabc #sooke #nanaimo #vancouverisland #vancouverislandproud #corussmiles #loveyoursmile #bigsmiles #smile #braces #invisalign

HAPPY ORTHODONTIC MONTH! October is National Orthodontic Health Month. Stay tuned for some history, science, and fun facts about orthodontics this month. DID YOU KNOW...... Braces have been around for a long time. The earliest orthodontic appliance was reported in 1728! Modern day braces are based on the straight wire pre-adjusted appliance, which was established in 1970 by Dr. Lawrence Andrews. As technology advances, so do orthodontic treatments. In 1997, Invisalign was created as the first clear, virtually invisible aligner. It since has become one of the most popular options and a standard in orthodontic treatments. This is Kelsey, she recently started her Invisalign treatment and will start seeing results in just a matter of weeks. To find out which treatment is best for you, visit our virtual consultation tool, SmileSnap. https://shorelineorthodontics.com/ #orthomonth #shorelineorthodontics #orthodontics #orthodontist #shorelinefamily #smilesdelivered #community #supportlocal #vancouverisland #vancouverislandproud #duncan #courtenay #campbellriver #nanaimo #langford #victoria #corussmiles #loveyoursmile #bigsmiles #smile #braces #invisalign
