Orthodontics in Saint-Léonard, Montreal
Orthodontic treatment straightens misaligned teeth and corrects bite issues, and it is not just for teenagers: many of our adult patients start treatment later in life. Crowded, gapped, or crooked teeth are harder to keep clean, which over time can lead to more cavities and gum problems, so straightening them is about more than appearance. At OpusDent, we look at your whole mouth before recommending a path forward, and we explain your options clearly so you can decide what is right for you.

For anxious patients →Options and ages
There is no single age cutoff for orthodontic treatment. Children sometimes benefit from an early evaluation when a dentist spots a developing bite issue, while teens and adults make up a large share of the patients we see for straightening. The right approach depends on your teeth, your bite, and your goals, which is why we talk through your options with you instead of defaulting to one treatment for everyone. Whatever your age, the process starts the same way: an honest look at what your teeth actually need.
