Orthodontics in Kelowna
A straighter smile starts with a thoughtful plan.
Orthodontic care can help improve crowded teeth, gaps, bite concerns, and teeth that have shifted over time. Whether you are exploring Invisalign, wondering if your bite needs attention, or considering treatment before cosmetic dentistry, we are here to help you understand your options.

Feel Heard

Feel Confident
Our focus is on helping you choose an orthodontic plan that supports your smile, health, and long-term goals.
What Orthodontics Can Help Address
Orthodontic care may help if you are noticing changes in your smile, bite, or tooth position. You may benefit from an orthodontic assessment if you have:
- Crowded, crooked, or overlapping teeth
- Gaps or spacing between teeth
- Teeth that have shifted after braces or aligners
- An overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite concern
- Front teeth that chip, wear down, or overlap
- Difficulty cleaning between crowded teeth
- A desire to straighten teeth before veneers, bonding, or crowns
- A teen whose teeth or bite may need orthodontic monitoring
Not every orthodontic concern is best treated the same way. We will assess your teeth, gums, bite, and goals to help determine what approach makes the most sense.
The Orthodontics Vine Dental Experience
At Vine Dental, orthodontics is not about pushing every patient toward the same treatment. It is about understanding the full picture and helping you make an informed decision.
We take time to assess your smile, explain what we see, and discuss your options in a way that feels clear and pressure-free. For some patients, Invisalign or clear aligners may be a good fit. For others, monitoring or referral to an orthodontic specialist may be the better path.
Our goal is to help you feel supported from your first consultation through long-term retention and care.
How We Can Help
Orthodontic Assessments
We assess tooth position, bite alignment, spacing, crowding, tooth wear, gum health, and your goals to determine whether treatment may be appropriate.
Invisalign and Clear Aligners
Clear aligners may help improve crowded teeth, gaps, crooked front teeth, and some bite concerns for suitable teens and adults.
Crowding and Spacing Concerns
Orthodontic treatment may help create a more balanced smile and make certain areas easier to clean when teeth are crowded or spaced unevenly.
Bite Alignment
Some overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites may benefit from orthodontic treatment. We assess your bite carefully before recommending a path forward.
Orthodontic Relapse
If your teeth have shifted after previous braces or aligner treatment, we can help determine whether clear aligners may be an option.
Specialist Referrals
Some cases require advanced orthodontic care. When referral is the best option, we will explain why and help guide you toward the right next step.
Understanding Your Path to a Beautiful Smile
Orthodontic treatment can improve the appearance of your smile, but it can also support function, comfort, and long-term oral health.
A few helpful things to know before starting:
- Healthy teeth and gums are important before orthodontic treatment begins.
- Clear aligners must be worn consistently to work as planned.
- Some bite concerns are more complex and may require specialist orthodontic care.
- Teeth can shift over time, even after braces or Invisalign.
- Retainers are usually recommended after treatment to help maintain results.
- Orthodontics may sometimes be helpful before cosmetic treatments like veneers, bonding, or crowns.
The best orthodontic plan depends on your smile, bite, oral health, lifestyle, and goals. A consultation is the first step toward understanding what may be possible.
Supporting Your Smile Beyond Orthodontics
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to gradually move teeth and may be a good option for many teen and adult patients.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Orthodontics can sometimes support a more balanced foundation before whitening, veneers, bonding, or other cosmetic treatments.
Bite Guards and Snore Appliances
Custom appliances may help protect teeth from grinding, clenching, and wear before or after orthodontic treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Orthodontics is dental care focused on improving the position of teeth and how the upper and lower teeth fit together. Treatment may involve clear aligners, braces, retainers, or referral to a specialist, depending on the case.
Yes. Many adults explore orthodontics because their teeth have shifted, they have crowding or gaps, or they want to improve their smile before cosmetic dental treatment.
Yes. Vine Dental provides Invisalign clear aligner treatment for suitable teen and adult patients. A consultation helps determine whether Invisalign is appropriate for your smile and bite.
Invisalign can be a good fit for patients who want removable, less noticeable aligners and can wear them consistently. Braces may be recommended for some more complex cases or patients who may not be ideal aligner candidates.
Orthodontic treatment may help with some bite concerns, including certain overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. We will assess your bite and explain whether clear aligners or specialist care may be appropriate.
Yes. Retainers are usually recommended after orthodontic treatment because teeth can naturally shift over time. Retention helps protect the progress made during treatment.
A referral may be recommended for complex bite concerns, jaw growth issues, impacted teeth, cases requiring traditional braces, or situations where specialist orthodontic care would provide the most appropriate treatment path.
