Crooked Teeth? Bite Problems? Dental Braces for Appearance and Performance

Dental braces, also known as orthodontic braces, are a fixed, orthodontic appliance used to correct bite issues and the alignment of teeth. Not only can braces enhance your smile, they can greatly improve the function of your teeth and jaw. Bone remodelling and dental movement are the desired result as orthodontic braces move teeth through the use of light force.

Dental Braces at Destination Dentistry - Adult and Youth Appliances

Dr. Kinniburgh has been improving the smiles of the young and young at heart at Destination Dentistry in Lethbridge, Alberta for nearly 40 years. In addition to general dentistry, Dr. Kinniburgh also offers a wide range of styles and choices of orthodontic braces to address your particular dental concern.

We offer various types of orthodontic braces which make a significant impact in the look and function of our patients' teeth and jaws.

Types of Braces for Teeth

• Traditional dental braces are made of stainless steel. Assorted brackets are available, depending on the course of treatment required.
• Ceramic braces or invisible braces are a popular alternative to traditional metal braces. They blend in with the natural colour of teeth and are, therefore, less visible. As they are not as strong as metal braces, they may lengthen treatment time. Invisible braces are also somewhat larger than metal braces.
• Gold plated stainless steel braces are another alternative to traditional dental braces. Gold tends to blend better with teeth and some people prefer its appearance to metal. They are also an excellent alternative for people who are allergic to nickel.
• Lingual braces are fitted behind the teeth so they are less visible. It may take longer to adjust to them because they can hinder tongue movement.

Dr. Kinniburgh looks forward to meeting with you to discuss your dental concerns and designing a solution that suits your needs.
