Orthodontics in Winnipeg
For most patients, straight teeth mean a terrific smile. But did you know that properly aligned teeth are healthier? Overlapped, crooked, or rotated teeth create a daily cleaning challenge. Food and bacterial plaque accumulate slowly in the tiny spaces that your toothbrush and floss can't reach. The acidic toxins that seep out of the bacterial sludge can lead to cavities and inflamed, diseased gums. Helping even a couple straggling teeth find their proper place can leave you with a healthier mouth.
Straightening teeth isn't just for kids! Adults often make the most dedicated orthodontic patients, and it's never too late to discuss the options for a bright, straight smile. If you're not sure wires fit your tolerance level, don't worry. Invisible methods can work extremely well for many cases, and our doctors can help you explore the possibilities.
Orthodontics involves teeth straightening and jaw alignment, combining beauty and function. Identifying problems early in development may allow easier treatment with better results, but it's never too late to discuss ways to enhance a smile!
What Is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the alignment of the teeth and jaw and helps resolve issues such as crooked teeth, malocclusions (misaligned bites), jaw pain, and problems with speaking, chewing, and even breathing. Probably the most widely known orthodontic treatment is braces, but many patients also benefit from other orthodontic care options like clear aligners (Invisalign), retainers, palatal expanders, and more.
If you have crowded teeth, difficulty biting, chronic jaw discomfort, or are simply seeking a straighter, more confident smile, orthodontics could be a great fit. Also, many issues for your young children can be corrected easily at an early age, rather than waiting for all the adult teeth to come in, making it a lot more difficult and costly.

The Cost Of Orthodontics
Our orthodontic treatments at Shine Dental reflect the fact that no two patients' needs are identical. This means that there's no one-size-fits-all price tag for orthodontic care. Instead, we assess each case on an individual basis and create an accurate and transparent quote accordingly.
In Manitoba, the cost of braces or Invisalign treatment can range between approximately $3,000 and $8,000 or more, depending on the type of treatment and the complexity of the case. For more information about our flexible financing options for orthodontic treatments, contact one of our clinics directly.
Are Orthodontics Covered By Insurance?
Whether or not orthodontics is covered by your insurance plan depends on the specifics of your policy. Many Manitobans do have insurance plans that cover a portion of orthodontic treatments like braces or Invisalign, but reaching out to your provider to gain an in-depth understanding of your coverage is recommended. At Shine Dental, we offer direct billing to most major insurance plans.
In some cases, a portion of orthodontic care may also be covered by the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) for eligible patients. Contact us directly with any further questions.
