At Viva Orthodontics in Waterdown, orthodontic specialist Dr. Hussam Al Fakir offers adults a range of discreet options, from clear aligners to tooth-coloured braces, built around your career, your social life, and your goals. Treatment is more comfortable and lower profile than it has ever been.
Straightening your teeth as an adult is about more than looks. Here is what treatment can do for you.
Clear aligners and tooth-coloured braces let you straighten your smile without drawing attention at work or in meetings.
Straighter teeth are easier to brush and floss, lowering your risk of decay and gum disease as you get older.
Correcting your bite reduces uneven wear and strain, helping protect your natural teeth for the long term.
A smile you feel proud of can boost your confidence in your career, your relationships, and everyday life.
If you had braces as a child and your teeth have moved since, treatment can bring your smile back into line.
Today's appliances are smaller, smoother, and more comfortable, so treatment fits easily into a busy adult life.
The two most popular choices for adults are both low-profile. Here is how clear aligners and tooth-coloured ceramic braces compare.

If you choose Invisalign, wearing your aligners 20 to 22 hours a day keeps you on track and finishing on time.
Aligners pop out quickly for a meeting or presentation, and ceramic braces keep treatment low profile all day.
Aligners make travel easy, just bring your case and your current and next sets. We can plan ahead for longer trips.
Brush and floss thoroughly, and clean your aligners daily, to keep your teeth and gums healthy throughout treatment.
Quick, regular visits keep everything moving and let us make small adjustments to keep you on schedule.
Once you finish, wearing your retainer as directed is what keeps your new smile straight for the long term.

Not at all. Healthy teeth can be moved at almost any age, and a growing number of our patients are adults. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, you are likely a candidate, which we will confirm at your free consultation.
Most adults carry on at work without any trouble. Aligners can be removed for an important meeting, and any brief adjustment in speech with a new appliance typically settles within a day or two.
Both work very well. Invisalign offers maximum discretion and removability, while braces, including tooth-coloured ceramic, can be ideal for more complex cases. Dr. Al Fakir will recommend the best option for your smile and lifestyle.
Yes. Teeth can drift over the years, especially without a retainer. This kind of relapse is very common and often straightforward to correct, sometimes in less time than your original treatment.
It depends on your case. Minor corrections can be quite quick, while more involved cases often take in the range of twelve to twenty four months. You will get a personalized timeline at your consultation.
Many dental plans include orthodontic coverage that applies to adults as well as children. We bill insurance directly where possible and offer flexible monthly payment plans, and we are glad to review your coverage for free.
We provide custom retainers to hold your teeth in their new position. Wearing your retainer as directed is what prevents future shifting and keeps your smile looking great for the long term.
It is never too late for a smile you love. Book your free consultation, meet Dr. Al Fakir, and see a preview of your potential new smile, with discreet options built around your life.
