Preventative Orthodontics
We believe in starting early with preventative orthodontics to monitor children’s growth patterns. Preventative orthodontics helps us get excellent results and helps prevent severe crossbite, protruding teeth, and severe overcrowding. We’ll help determine if your child is the perfect candidate for preventative orthodontics.
Physiologic Dentistry
As one of the only physiologic orthodontic providers in Ottawa, Dr. Ami Barakat addresses the needs of patients with principles of Physiologic Dentistry. Physiologic Dentistry considers a patient’s body, helping the jaw, airway, neck and even the back at times. We focus on identifying any imbalance and restoring function to multiple body parts. We’ll provide a lasting, supportive treatment to support the overall physical well-being of our patients.
Invisalign Braces
We’re proud to say that Dr. Barakat is an Invisalign Preferred Provider. Our Invisalign clear braces system helps straighten teeth discreetly and easily. Many patients choose Invisalign as a way to straighten their teeth without traditional metal braces.
Orthodontic Appliances
Orthodontic appliances help reposition teeth and jaw for a functional and healthier bite. Our orthodontic appliances help with TMJ disorders, treat crooked teeth and repair malocclusion. We may recommend using one of our oral appliances as part of our preventative orthodontic treatment.
Two-Phase Treatment
Many of our young patients need early treatment to help as permanent teeth grow in. Our two-phase treatment may include an oral appliance, headgear, or palate extenders before traditional braces or Invisalign. Dr. Barakat will evaluate your child’s needs to determine the best treatment for them.
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces help repair crooked teeth and misaligned bites. We can give you a smile you love, from minor misalignments to complex malocclusion. We also offer self-litigating braces that eliminate the use of plastic or metal bands.
Adult Orthodontics
Many adults with past orthodontic treatments relapse and need adult orthodontics. We help restore your smile with innovative orthodontic treatments. From traditional metal braces to Invisalign, we have something for everyone.
VPro Propel
VPro Propel is an innovative device that uses high-frequency vibration to improve results and reduce treatment time from metal braces and aligners. It’s the only FDA-approved high-frequency vibration product line proven to deliver fast results in just five minutes each day. All patients do is hold the handheld device in place while the mouthpiece vibrates, activating bone regeneration and teeth movement.
TMJ Treatment
Our TMJ treatments enlist the help of orthodontics, Invisalign, oral appliances, and traditional braces. Dr. Barakat is extensively trained in the diagnosis and treatment of TMJ-related disorders. We’ll help restore your bite to one that’s healthy and properly aligned for comfort.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Orthodontic Services

We invite you to call us at any time, but first read some of our most frequently asked questions about orthodontic services below.
How Can Orthodontic Treatment Improve My Dental Health?
Orthodontic treatment is much more than just perfecting a smile. In addition to enhancing your look, orthodontic services can significantly improve your dental health. Misaligned teeth can cause tooth decay, gum disease, and even jaw pain. However, our orthodontic services in Stittsville will help minimize these issues and make it easier to maintain good oral hygiene. Brushing and flossing will be more effective with straight teeth, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
Furthermore, orthodontic treatments can correct overbites, underbites, and crossbites. These problems can cause excessive wear on your teeth. Nipping them in the bud will help ensure longevity and better overall tooth health.
How Long Do Typical Orthodontic Treatments Last?
This is among the most common questions we receive. But the reality is no two treatments are the same. The duration of your orthodontic treatment will depend on the complexity of your case. Most treatments take 18 to 24 months from start to finish. However, minor problems may only need six months of treatment whereas significant misalignment may need three years to correct.
The good news is we can typically give you a close estimate regarding the duration of your orthodontic treatment during a consultation. We will evaluate your dental condition before devising a personalized plan for you. Its outline will include the necessary steps and a time estimate.
What Types of Braces Does Villanova Dental Offer?

- Invisalign® Braces – We provide clear aligners to correct malocclusion, mild to moderate bite problems, crooked teeth, and more.
