Orthodontic Services in Pierrefonds in the West Island
Our orthodontic services aim to improve the alignment of your teeth and the functioning of your bite, with the goal of ensuring your comfort and long-term oral health. Orthodontic treatment plans are available for children, teenagers, and adults. As a dental clinic, we offer Invisalign treatment and work with trusted local orthodontists to ensure you receive the most appropriate approach for your clinical needs.
Orthodontic Treatment Options
Orthodontic treatment is not one-size-fits-all. The recommended option depends on factors such as the type of tooth movement required, the complexity of your bite, and your lifestyle. Through our clinic and a qualified orthodontist, you have access to a range of potential treatments.
Removable Appliances
Removable appliances, including retainers and certain aligner-based options, can be appropriate for early orthodontic needs, space guidance, or retention after treatment. Because they can be taken out, results depend on consistent wear and good daily habits.
Best for:select early interventions, simpler corrections, retention and stabilization after treatment.
What to expect: removable for eating and brushing, with prescribed wear required for predictable progress.
Braces and Fixed Options
Fixed orthodontic appliances allow for precise and controlled tooth movement. They are often recommended when more complex corrections are needed. Generally metallic in appearance, some options combine ceramic brackets and white wires for a more discreet look.
Best for: broader alignment and bite correction where predictable, controlled movement is required.
What to expect: fixed appliances stay in place, require careful cleaning and follow scheduled adjustments and monitoring.
We Offer Invisalign Clear Aligner Treatment
Invisalign® is one of the orthodontic treatment options available at Centre Dentaire Pierrefonds. This treatment consists of a series of custom-made, removable clear aligners to guide gradual tooth movement. Because every case is different, suitability depends on your alignment needs and bite complexity, which we confirm during an orthodontic consultation.
Orthodontic Treatment for Adults, Teens, and Children
Orthodontic needs vary with age, mainly because growth, lifestyle, and goals tend to change over time. These factors are taken into account when selecting the appropriate treatment plan.
Children
In children, early orthodontic assessments can help identify developing issues such as crowding, spacing, or bite concerns. When treatment is indicated, the goal is often to guide development and reduce the likelihood of more complex problems later.
Teenagers
treatment, as most permanent teeth are present and growth allows for predictable correction. Your dentist and/or orthodontist, depending on the case, focuses on results, durability, and routines that fit in with school, sports, and everyday life.
Adults
alignment, correct tooth displacement, or promote long-term oral health. Your dentist and orthodontist will work in collaboration to plan a treatment based on existing dental work, if any, while aiming for an approach that matches your priorities.

Questions and Answers About Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatments can be effective at many ages. For children, an initial assessment is often recommended around age 7, when there is a mix of baby and adult teeth and early concerns may be easier to identify. Teens and adults can also achieve excellent results with the right treatment plan.
Treatment length depends on the complexity of each case. Many treatment plans fall in the 12–24 month range, although minor corrections may take less time and more complex bite concerns can take longer. After your assessment, your orthodontist will provide a realistic estimate based on your needs.
Yes. Modern orthodontic treatments can correct a wide range of bite issues, including:
- Overbite: the upper front teeth overlap the lower teeth too much
- Underbite: the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth
- Crossbite: some upper teeth don’t line up with the lower teeth
- Open bite: the upper and lower teeth do not meet, leaving a gap when you bite down
Correcting these bite issues not only improves your smile’s appearance but also helps reduce strain on the jaw joints and teeth.
Absolutely. It’s never too late to improve your smile and bite. Many adults choose orthodontic care to address shifting teeth, crowding, spacing, or bite concerns.
Orthodontic treatments should not be painful, but some mild discomfort or pressure is normal, especially after adjustments or when switching to a new aligner tray. This sensation typically lasts a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief if needed. Practical advice will be provided to help you stay comfortable throughout the treatment.
Coverage depends on your personal dental insurance plan, and orthodontic coverage often differs for children and adults. During your consultation, you will receive the information you need to confirm your coverage and reimbursement directly with your insurer.
During your consultation, We review your goals, examine your teeth and bite, and determine what records are needed (for example, photos, digital scans, or X-rays). You leave with clear treatment options and recommended next steps.
