Clear Aligners
Many people want to straighten their teeth without having to wear traditional braces. That’s why we are proud providers of the Invisalign clear aligner system.
With this amazing technology, patients spend less time in the dental chair with fewer office visits, have no emergencies from broken braces or pokey wires, and enjoy easier dental hygiene with no dietary restrictions.

Dr. Emanuele stays up to date with the latest advancements in braces technology, including traditional metal and self-ligating braces.
With the newest technologies, you can enjoy less frequent office visits and a more comfortable orthodontic experience. In fact, don’t expect any goopy impressions because we’ll scan your teeth digitally, instead!

Clear Braces, Metal Braces & Other Options
Braces are the most common type of orthodontic treatment in Halifax, but you have other options, too.
After your first free consultation exam, Dr. Emanuele will talk to you about which treatment would be right for you based on your unique needs and smile goals.
Fixed Appliances Vs. Removable Appliances
At Paradigm Orthodontics, we believe you should be fully educated when it comes to your treatment. It’s helpful for patients around Halifax to understand the difference between fixed and removable appliances.
Dr. Emanuele attaches fixed appliances, like braces, to your teeth and won’t take them off until you complete your treatment at Paradigm Orthodontics.
When Dr. Emanuele prescribes a removable appliance like a clear aligner system, you’ll wear it most of the day, but you can take the trays out of your mouth.
Besides the obvious differences, Paradigm Orthodontics uses Invisalign aligners to treat mild to moderate orthodontic problems and fixed appliances for more severe, comprehensive treatment.
Non-Surgical Jaw Alignment
Correct Your Bite Without a Scalpel
Non-surgical jaw alignment at Paradigm Orthodontics uses braces, clear aligners, and small elastics to guide the jaws into harmony.
It'll save you the stress, cost, and downtime of an operating room.
What Is Non-Surgical Jaw Alignment in Halifax?
The non-surgical approach relies on orthodontic appliances. Think of braces, clear aligner trays, or tiny rubber bands that gently nudge the upper and lower jaws into a healthier position as teeth move.
Dr. Emanuele maps the process in 3D and then gently and precisely adjusts movements over time. In kids, expanders or functional appliances can even steer jaw growth while bones are still flexible.
Why Choose a Non-Surgical Fix?
- Skip the hospital stay. Treatment happens right here in our Halifax clinic, so you walk out after each visit and head back to school or work.
- Keep recovery easy. Mild tenderness is usually the only side effect; no incisions, liquid diets, or weeks off the ice.
- Save money and time. Eliminating surgery cuts both medical fees and total healing time, letting you reach a balanced bite sooner.
Surgical Orthodontics
When Braces Can’t Do It Alone
For severe bite problems, combining orthodontics with jaw surgery can unlock results that appliances can't deliver on their own, which improves chewing, breathing, and facial balance in one powerful plan.
What Is Surgical Orthodontics in Halifax?
Also called orthognathic surgery, this option pairs pre-surgical braces with a one-day hospital procedure to realign the jaws. After a short healing period, Dr. Emanuele completes fine tooth adjustments in our office to lock in the new bite.
How Surgery Helps
- Fix complex misalignment. Severe overbites, underbites, and open bites often need bone repositioning for lasting stability.
- Boost daytime comfort and sleep. A corrected jaw can relieve TMJ strain and open the airway, easing snoring and fatigue.
- Enhance facial harmony. Realigning the jaws brings lips, chin, and cheeks into better proportion, and the confidence you'll see in every photo.
