Orthodontie Côte-des-Neiges is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to offer you the best orthodontic treatment for your unique needs.
Straighten Teeth with Precision Using Orthodontic Braces
Orthodontic braces are a proven solution for correcting the alignment of teeth and jaws. Known for their effectiveness in a wide range of cases, braces help reposition teeth with precision while ensuring long-term occlusion. At Orthodontie CDN, each treatment is tailored to the patient’s individual needs—whether it involves crowding, excessive spacing, malocclusion, or skeletal discrepancies. Every smile has its own unique configuration, and the approach is based on thorough analysis, careful planning, and continuous adjustment of the appliances.
Braces work through a system of brackets bonded to the teeth and connected by an archwire that applies constant, gradual force. This mechanism gently guides the teeth into their ideal position over several months. Regular appointments allow for monitoring progress and adjusting wire tension to keep treatment on track. Contrary to popular belief, modern braces are more comfortable than before, using more discreet, biocompatible materials. While traditional metal braces are still common, ceramic options are also available for adults seeking a more subtle look.
Orthodontic technologies we use

Damon brackets
Damon brackets require fewer adjustments than standard braces. Using this self-ligating technology means having fewer appointments and being more comfortable during your treatment.
Braces for Teens and Adults: The Right Time is When It’s Right for You
Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for teenagers. Although many begin between the ages of 11 and 14, a growing number of adults are choosing braces to correct misalignment they never had the opportunity to treat earlier in life. The biological process remains the same at any age: teeth can move when subjected to continuous force. What changes is the treatment strategy and the rate of adjustment, depending on bone density and individual habits.
Some patients worry about the length of treatment. It typically ranges from 12 to 30 months, depending on the complexity of the case. Initial results are often visible after just a few months, which can be highly motivating. Day-to-day comfort also improves with time: while some sensitivity may occur in the early days, the adjustment period is usually brief. To protect the braces, sticky, hard, or very fibrous foods should be avoided, but with a few adjustments, maintaining a varied diet is entirely possible.
Personalized Expertise with Dr. Tram-Anh Nguyen
Each treatment begins with a comprehensive orthodontic consultation. Dr. Tram-Anh Nguyen assesses the dentition, performs digital X-rays, and outlines a clear, customized treatment plan. The goal is not only to correct misalignment, but also to enhance facial aesthetics and ensure long-term stability. Monthly adjustments are carried out at the clinic in a professional and calm environment, where each step is clearly explained to help patients understand the process.
Parents often ask at what age a child should be evaluated. A first assessment can take place as early as age 7, although actual treatment usually starts later, once permanent teeth have erupted. For adults, there is no upper age limit—only overall oral health is considered to determine treatment feasibility. Some patients fear pain or overly frequent visits. In reality, most adjustments occur every 6 to 8 weeks, and any discomfort typically subsides within a few days.
Long-Lasting Results and Continued Support
At the end of treatment, a retention device is always prescribed—either a bonded wire behind the teeth or a removable night-time retainer. This maintenance phase is crucial to prevent relapse, as teeth naturally tend to shift back to their original position. The clinic provides long-term follow-up even after the braces are removed, with periodic check-ups to ensure continued stability.
Choosing braces means investing in a straighter smile, balanced chewing function, and improved overall oral health. Braces offer a reliable solution for both simple and complex cases. With high-quality care and a structured protocol, the final result lives up to expectations. Orthodontie CDN welcomes patients of all ages in Montreal, offering personalized care, regular follow-up, and solid clinical expertise.
