Are your teeth crowded or misaligned? Our orthodontists see many patients with misaligned teeth. These conditions can include crossbite, overbite, overjet and crowded teeth – and the problem is not just aesthetic. A bad bite can also lead to numerous oral health problems. Whether we are working with [children](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/children-orthodontics), [teenagers](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/orthodontics-teens) or [adults](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/orthodontics-adults), the goal of orthodontic treatment is the same – to straighten teeth so they look better and work better. This goal can be achieved using braces or clear aligners that apply gentle pressure to your teeth and move them into the correct position over a period of months or years, leaving you with a more even smile. Orthodontic treatment can also help address issues related to chronic pain, TMJ Disorder and sleep apnea. ![Orthodontic Services in Calgary & Canmore](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/orthodontic-services-calgary.jpg) ## Orthodontic Treatment for All Ages ## Children Customized treatment plans for children to guide jaw growth and development.

[Learn More](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/orthodontics-adults) ## Traditional Braces Made of metal, traditional braces have been used for decades to straighten teeth. In recent years, advances in orthodontic treatment have resulted in braces that are low-profile, easier to care for and more comfortable. Braces put continuous pressure on teeth over a period of time, gradually moving them to their new, corrected positions. The bone changes to accommodate the new positions of the teeth as pressure is applied and the teeth shift. ![Traditional Braces in Calgary & Canmore](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/orthodontic-services-calgary-3.jpg) ## Invisalign Clear Aligners Invisalign clear aligners can gradually straighten your smile using a series of individually customized, clear plastic aligners that are adjusted over a period of time. If you’d prefer that no one know that you are straightening your teeth, Invisalign clear aligners offer a built-in convenience factor in that they’re removable. Similar in appearance to custom whitening trays, they are easy to insert. You can even remove them to brush, floss, eat and drink. ![Invisalign Clear Aligners in Calgary & Canmore](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/orthodontic-services-calgary-2-1.jpg) ## Treatable Orthodontic Conditions There are a number of malocclusions (misalignments) of the teeth and jaws that can be treated with braces or clear aligners. Your orthodontist will perform a comprehensive clinical evaluation of your jaw and mouth in order to determine your smile’s nature and severity, then customize a treatment plan to fit your unique needs. ## Crowding One of the most prevalent orthodontic problems is teeth that are too crowded. Crowded teeth are extremely difficult to clean, making them more prone to decay, even if good oral hygiene is practised. ## Spaces in Teeth Spaces in teeth can be a problem, especially if the early loss or extraction of teeth causes healthy teeth to tip into open spaces. Deterioration of the supporting bone may occur, causing teeth to become loose. ## Overbites This can cause abnormal wear of tooth surfaces, as well as excess stress on supporting bone and gum tissue. The stress on supporting tissues might contribute to gum disease and possibly lead to the loss of teeth. ## Underbites An underbite is a term for a dental condition characterized by lower teeth that extend outward farther than the upper front teeth. Severe cases of underbite may cause difficulty biting and chewing food, challenges with speaking and mouth and face pain due to the misalignment of the jaw. ## Crossbite A crossbite is a misalignment of teeth, usually where the upper teeth fit inside the lower teeth. This misalignment can affect a single tooth or groups of teeth. If not corrected, a crossbite can wear down the enamel of the tooth as the jaw. ## Sleep Apnea Sleep Apnea can happen when the airway is obstructed by any or all of the tonsils, adenoids, nasal obstruction, and tongue (not enough room because of narrow or receded jaws). At night, the body has to “fight” to get air past the obstructions. Cortisol, a stress hormone, is produced to create the fight to breathe. Sleep Apnea may cause long-term high levels of cortisol which may have negative effects. It can happen at all ages. Sleep Apnea and symptoms of Sleep Disordered Breathing can be helped with orthodontic treatment.

Jaw dislocation is what causes all of the symptoms that the patient experiences. [Learn More](/tmj-disorder-chronic-pain) ### TMJ & Chronic Pain Source: [https://www.vincelliortho.ca/tmj-disorder-chronic-pain/](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/tmj-disorder-chronic-pain/) # TMJ Disorder Treatment People with TMJ Disorder often experience jaw pain. Our orthodontists at Vincelli Orthodontics in Calgary & Canmore can help diagnose and treat this condition in children, teens and adults. The TMJ (temporomandibular joint) is a hinge connecting your jaw to the temporal bones of your skull. It allows you to move your jaw up and down and side to side so you can talk and eat. When your jaw joints are balanced and healthy, they support the proper movement of your mouth for comfortable speaking and eating. If your teeth and/or jaw become misaligned, TMJ Disorder (or TMD) can become a problem. This disorder can cause symptoms such as jaw pain, ringing in the ears and headaches that significantly affect an individual’s quality of life. Fortunately, our orthodontists in Calgary & Canmore can treat TMD symptoms in [children](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/children-orthodontics "Orthodontics for Children, Calgary & Canmore Orthodontists"), [teens](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/orthodontics-teens "Orthodontics for Teens, Calgary & Canmore Orthodontists"), and [adults](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/orthodontics-adults "Orthodontics for Adults, Calgary & Canmore Orthodontists"). Depending on a patient’s needs, treatment options may include bite splints, surgery and more. ![TMJ Disorder Treatment in Calgary & Canmore](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/tmj-disorder-chronic-pain.jpg) ## Chronic Pain Treatment Some patients have other chronic pain conditions along with TMD. Fortunately, we work with other specialized professionals who help with specific areas of the body, such as physiotherapists and chiropractors. Contact us to learn more about how we can help alleviate chronic pain. ## TMJ Disorder Treatment Our orthodontists in Calgary & Canmore can test for, diagnose and provide a treatment plan for TMJ Disorder using a two-step treatment process. #### Step 1 Special bite splints can be used to even out the bite and break up the protective reflex, allowing the muscles to relax and the jaw joint to seat itself properly in its socket. In some cases, this may take several months. #### Step 2 Once the jaw joints are in their healthy position, one can see what the specific bite problem is — and correct it. The severity of the bite issue will determine the type of correction recommended. Approaches can range from a simple bite adjustment to reshaping teeth to orthodontic treatment and corrective bite surgery. ![TMJ Disorder Treatment in Calgary & Canmore](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/tmj-disorder-chronic-pain-2.jpg) ## TMD & TMJ Symptoms TMJ Disorder (TMD) can cause a host of painful symptoms because your compromised jaw muscles have to work extra hard to do their job. Common symptoms include: * Jaw and facial pain * Jaw joint pain, locking, restricted movement * Degenerative changes in the jaw joint * Ear symptoms: pain, fullness, ringing, dizziness * Headaches and neck aches * Clenching and/or grinding of teeth, with associated wear, tooth breakage, bone loss, receding gums, lost teeth If you are experiencing any symptoms, [contact us](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/contact-calgary-orthodontist "Contact Vincelli Orthodontics in Calgary & Canmore") for a proper diagnosis from an orthodontist. ![TMD & TMJ Symptoms in Calgary & Canmore](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/tmj-disorder-chronic-pain-1.jpg) ### Sleep Apnea Source: [https://www.vincelliortho.ca/sleep-apnea/](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/sleep-apnea/) # Sleep Apnea Treatment Some patients may be dealing with sleep apnea and symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing. Our orthodontists at Vincelli Orthodontics in Calgary & Canmore can recommend orthodontic treatment options to help. This serious, potentially life-threatening breathing disorder is marked by brief interruptions in breathing during sleep. The condition can occur in people of all ages, including [children](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/orthodontic-services-calgary "Orthodontics for Children, Calgary & Canmore Orthodontists"), [teens](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/orthodontics-teens "Orthodontics for Teens, Calgary & Canmore"), and [adults](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/orthodontics-adults "Orthodontics for Adults, Calgary & Canmore Orthodontists"). The airway may be obstructed for a certain period of time by any or all of the tonsils, adenoids, nasal obstruction, or tongue, which may not have enough room due to narrow or receded jaws. At night, the body must “fight” to ensure air gets past the obstructions, which produces high levels of cortisol (the stress hormone). Long-term, this condition can lead to heart problems, issues with attention, and asthma. ![Orthodontics for Adults in Calgary & Canmore in Calgary & Canmore](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/orthodontics-adults.jpg) ## Orthodontics & Sleep Disorders Our orthodontists know that sleep is vital to your wellbeing. That's why we offer treatment for sleep disorders, like sleep apnea and snoring. By addressing orthodontic issues, we can help allow for easier breathing during sleeping so you can get a better night's rest. ## Snoring & Sleep Apnea Sleep disorders can disrupt your sleep and negatively impact your overall health and wellbeing. For patients who snore, their relaxed throat tissues cause the airway to restrict, creating the sound of snoring as oxygen is forced past. For patients with sleep apnea, their throat tissues over-relax and obstruct the airway, forcing the brain to wake them up to breathe. Sleep apnea can impact overall health and well-being, and eventually become life-threatening as it can cause irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, stroke and cardiovascular issues. However, there is hope. Our orthodontists can help you shift the lower jaw forward and open the airway, reducing the air resistance that leads to sleep apnea and snoring. ![Snoring & Sleep Apnea in Calgary & Canmore](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/sleep-apnea-1.jpg) ## Effects of Sleep Apnea Sleep apnea can happen to anyone at any stage of their life. The disorder can have adverse long-term effects on the health of people of all ages, especially children. These effects may include: * Growth problems and “failure to thrive” * Attention deficit, hyperactivity problems and learning issues * “Acting out” behaviours such as aggression and hyperactivity * Altered immune response leading to conditions such as asthma * Gastric esophageal reflux disease * Long-term cardiovascular problems ![Effects of Sleep Apnea in Calgary & Canmore](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/sleep-apnea-22.jpg) *5 more main links available on the website* ## Optional ### About Source: [https://www.vincelliortho.ca/about-calgary-orthodontics/](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/about-calgary-orthodontics/) - About the organization *Additional content available at [https://www.vincelliortho.ca/about-calgary-orthodontics/](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/about-calgary-orthodontics/)* ### Blog Source: [https://www.vincelliortho.ca/dental-blog/](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/dental-blog/) - Latest articles and updates *Additional content available at [https://www.vincelliortho.ca/dental-blog/](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/dental-blog/)* ### Careers Source: [https://www.vincelliortho.ca/career-opportunities/](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/career-opportunities/) *Additional content available at [https://www.vincelliortho.ca/career-opportunities/](https://www.vincelliortho.ca/career-opportunities/)* *3 more optional links available on the website*
