Crooked or crowded teeth are harder to clean, which can lead to decay and gum problems over time. Straightening them protects your health and gives you a smile you feel good about. At Luka Dental Care in London, Ontario, we treat teens and adults with clear aligners that move teeth without metal brackets or wires.
You do not need a referral to a separate office. We assess, plan, and treat orthodontic cases right here, which keeps things simple for busy families.
Many people put off braces because they do not want a mouth full of metal for two years. Clear aligners solve that. They are smooth, removable trays that are almost invisible when you wear them.
We use SureSmile clear aligners, a system that plans each tooth movement in advance. You wear a series of trays, switching to the next one every couple of weeks as your teeth shift into place.
Because the trays come out, you can eat what you like and brush and floss as normal. There are no brackets to catch food and no wires to snap.
If your child has crowding or a bite that is coming in wrong, early attention can prevent bigger problems later. Many parents want a plan that does not mean metal braces through the school years.
Clear aligners are a strong fit for many teens. They are discreet, which matters at that age, and easy to keep clean. The right age to start varies by child, so timing matters. Our team can tell you whether to begin now or watch and wait. For more on getting the timing right, read why early orthodontic treatment can start too early or too late.
It is never too late to straighten your teeth. More adults than ever are choosing clear aligners because they fit into work and social life without drawing attention. If you have always wanted straighter teeth but did not want braces in your thirties, forties, or beyond, aligners make it realistic.
Straightening can also be the first step in a bigger plan. Once teeth are in the right place, options like whitening or bonding finish the look. See our cosmetic smile options for what comes next.

We look at your teeth and bite and tell you whether aligners are right for you.
Custom plan.
We map out each stage of movement and show you the expected result.

Retainers.
Once your teeth are straight, a retainer keeps them there.
Cost is one of the first things people ask about, and that is fair. The price of orthodontic treatment depends on how much movement your teeth need and how long you wear the trays. We give you a clear quote at your first visit and check your insurance before you commit, so you know the full picture upfront.
The first step is a free consultation. Book yours through our contact page and we will walk you through your options and the cost. (Payment plan details will link to the payment options page once it is live.)
Straighter teeth are within reach for teens and adults alike, without the metal. Call 519-472-4460 or visit our contact page to book a free consultation and find out what clear aligners can do for your family.
There is no single right age. Some children benefit from an early check around age seven, while others are better treated as teens once more adult teeth are in. A short assessment tells us whether to start now or wait, so your child gets treatment at the right time.
Most cases run from several months to about two years, depending on how far the teeth need to move. Simple spacing fixes are faster. We give you an expected timeline before you begin.
The cost depends on the length and complexity of your treatment. We provide a written quote at your free consultation and check your insurance first, so you see the real cost before deciding.
For many cases, aligners do the same job while being nearly invisible and removable. That makes eating and cleaning easier. Some complex bites still do better with braces, which is why we assess each case first and recommend what will actually work for you.
Yes. Teeth can drift back over time, so a retainer holds them in their new position. We fit yours once treatment is done and explain how often to wear it.
