About Traditional Braces
Traditional braces remain the gold-standard for treating complex orthodontic cases — significant crowding, severe bite problems, or rotated teeth. Modern brackets are smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than ever, with ceramic (tooth-coloured) options available for older teens and adults who prefer a subtler look.
Why Patients Choose Us
The CSD Approach
What sets traditional braces at Calgary South Dental apart.
Handles Anything
Braces can correct cases that clear aligners can't — making them the most versatile option.
Always On
Braces work 24/7 — no risk of forgetting to wear your aligners.
Ceramic Option
Tooth-coloured ceramic brackets are far less visible than classic metal.
Treatment Details
What to Expect During Treatment
Treatment time averages 18–24 months and varies with complexity. You'll see us every 6–8 weeks for adjustments. We'll go over what to eat, what to avoid, and exactly how to clean around your braces — and we'll always be a phone call away if a wire pokes or a bracket comes loose.
