Improve Your Smile: Improve Your Self-esteem
dental health • overall health
How you feel about
how you look also
plays a role in
your quality of life.
While others sometimes judge us by the way we look,
there are other more compelling reasons for considering
orthodontic treatment.
Your dental health has an effect on your
overall health and comfort.
How you feel about how you look also plays a role in
your quality of life. When you feel unattractive because
of crooked teeth or jaws that don’t meet properly, you
may become self-conscious and preoccupied with your
appearance.
You may cover your mouth when speaking or laughing,
hesitate to smile, or attempt to hide your facial
appearance.
Orthodontic treatment can improve your dental health
and change your facial appearance for the better, and
it can boost your self-esteem. It can provide you with
the chance to participate in improving the way you look.
Patients often feel more self-confident even
before treatment is completed.
As you see yourself looking better, you may find yourself
feeling better and enjoying a better quality of life. With
an attractive smile, you can face your career and your
personal relationships with confidence.
What is an orthodontist?
orthodontics • a specialty
Dentists who have
successfully completed
these advanced specialty
education programs may
call themselves
orthodontists.
Orthodontists are qualified dentists who have
graduated from dental school and then receive several
more years of specialized training that makes them
uniquely educated experts in dentistry to straighten
teeth and align jaws. Essentially, an orthodontist is a
smile specialist.
Admission to orthodontic programs is extremely
competitive and selective. It takes many years
to become an orthodontist and the educational
requirements are demanding. An orthodontist must
complete a university degree before starting a three
to five year graduate program at a dental school
accredited by the Canadian Dental Association (CDA).
After dental school, at least two or three academic years
of advanced specialty education in a CDA-accredited
orthodontic program are required to be an orthodontist.
The program includes advanced education in
biomedical, behavioural and basic sciences. The
orthodontic student learns the complex skills required
to manage tooth movement (orthodontics) and guide
facial development (dentofacial orthopaedics).
Dentists who have successfully completed
these advanced specialty education programs
may call themselves orthodontists. Fewer than
5% of all dentists ever earn this distinction.
Information: Orthodontic Insurance.
employer • eligibility • employee
Availability: Orthodontic
insurance is not available
to the individual, but
is often available to an
employee group as part
of the dental insurance
benefit package.
Availability: Orthodontic insurance is not available to the individual,
but is often available to an employee group as part of the dental
insurance benefit package.
Eligibility: Your employer may offer orthodontic coverage, but are
you eligible? You may need to work a minimum number of hours per
week, or there may be a 6 to 12 month waiting period for the new
employee. Also, eligibility can change. Your employer may change
plans or delete orthodontic coverage while you are in the middle of
treatment. If you leave your job, your benefits normally stop.
Benefits: Every plan offers a different level of benefits. The
orthodontic benefit is always different from the dental benefit.
There is always a maximum benefit, but what does the maximum
apply to in your case? The policy may specify a maximum benefit
but a maximum per individual is better than a maximum per family;
and a maximum that is renewed every year is better than a lifetime
maximum. The usual maximums typically do not cover a full
orthodontic fee. Fees peripheral to the orthodontic treatment, such
as x-rays, models, consultation, or extractions, may be deducted
from the orthodontic maximum.
Starting Date: This is the key to beginning the payment of your
benefits. Reimbursement will commence once you have initiated a
payment plan with our office. Insurance forms cannot be issued until
the indicated payment has been received. It is illegal to misrepresent
the starting date of treatment.
Benefit Payment: Most orthodontists will have your insurance
company send benefits directly to you. It requires more involvement
on your part, but allows you to monitor the insurance payments
accurately. The insurance company may pay monthly, bimonthly, or
quarterly. Typically, they reimburse 50% of your monthly payment
until you have reached the maximum lifetime coverage offered by
your particular policy. The payment schedule arranged between you
and our office may be different from the reimbursement schedule
imposed by the insurance company.
Predetermination: Usually your employer’s benefit office can
estimate what your benefits will be. However, should you desire
to obtain a written commitment from your insurance company as
to the benefit payable you may send a predetermination which is a
standard document that describes the treatment and its associated
fees. The commitment indicates the amount the insurance company
will reimburse, however changes in eligibility may occur while in
treatment.
Claim Forms: You have the option of receiving the forms online or in
paper format. Orthodontists use a standardized computer generated
claim form with all of your financial and dental information included,
which saves you the inconvenience of providing your own forms.
On the monthly claim forms that you receive once treatment is in
progress, you are to sign your name in the two places marked with an
‘X’ and to complete part two (employee/plan member/subscriber) and
part three (patient information). These forms can then be submitted
to your insurance carrier for reimbursement.
Affordability: Of Orthodontic services.
new technology = affordability
Because of the
technological
advances, we
are able to offer
treatment with no
down payment and
interest-free
payment plans.
Once upon a time orthodontic treatment was available
only to the wealthy. After all, in the 1930’s braces cost
as much as a HOUSE! In the 1940’s braces cost as
much as an expensive car. Can you imagine how many
people could not afford necessary treatment at this time
if prices were comparable to those of the past?
Today, orthodontics may be the best bargain available
anywhere. It most definitely is the best bargain in health
care. Why is it so affordable for most families today?
Over the years, the braces themselves have become
much more sophisticated and “patient friendly”.
Even as late as the 1960’s it would take three to five
appointments over a several month period to place
braces on all of the teeth. They literally were made
as you went along-fitting, welding, retting, soldering,
refitting, cementing, etc. The patient was in the chair
for hours at a time. And then, the braces were still not
very good. They bent and distorted very easily, causing
spaces between the braces and the teeth which allowed
decalcification (white spots) and decay to form on the
teeth. Appointments were needed every two weeks.
With new technology, braces have “prescriptions” built
into them, meaning that the orthodontist does not have
to bend wires for each tooth. Additionally, braces can
now be bonded directly to the outside surfaces of teeth
instead of having a metal band cemented totally around
the tooth. Appointments do not last nearly as long.
Braces can be placed on the teeth in one appointment
of as little as forty minutes to one hour. The interval
between subsequent appointments can be as long as
ten or twelve weeks. The advancement in technology
is also evident with the Invisalign process which
involves moving the teeth into the desired positions
without the need for placing braces. A series of
custom fitted retainers are used to incrementally
achieve the perfect smile.
A very important factor in keeping costs to a minimum
is the use of Registered Dental Personnel. These
professionals complete a rigorous college program and
must satisfactorily pass provincial board examinations,
both written and clinical. Our offices have employed
these individuals not only in clinical areas but at the
front desk, in administrative areas, and in our x-ray
and appliance laboratory. Our employees are true
professionals, who attend education courses to keep
their licences current.
The advances in wires that cause teeth to move have
also aided in controlling costs. These wires provide a
very gentle force over a long period of time minimizing
soreness and the frequency of visits.
At D’Aloisio Orthodontics we provide gentle
treatment in the shortest amount of time with
minimal interference in work and school schedules.
We use the most aesthetic braces available at
affordable fees without large down payments all thanks
to technological advancement.

B.Sc., D.D.S., M.S.
He is devoted to the
complete satisfaction
of each patient and
enjoys a client base
that continues to
expand each year.
Dr. D’Aloisio has built a reputation over the years as
a caring orthodontist who pays meticulous attention
to detail in the care of his patients. He is devoted to
the complete satisfaction of each patient and enjoys
a client base that continues to expand each year.
Dr. D’Aloisio was born and raised in Sudbury and
attended St. Charles College. It is here that he began to
focus on his studies with the intention of following the
path of his numerous family members that serve their
communities in various medical disciplines. During this
time his football career began and continued throughout
his academic studies. He was a member of the Western
Mustangs varsity football team that reached the national
championships in 1982. This was a progression from his
previous running back career for the Sudbury Spartans,
which earned him All-Star and League MVP awards.
Academically, Dr. D’Aloisio received his Bachelor of
Science degree from the University of Western Ontario
in 1984 and earned his degree in Dentistry from the
same University in 1988. Pursuing his interest in the
area of Orthodontics, Dr. D’Aloisio went on to complete
an additional three years of specialty training at
the University of Detroit Mercy and received his
specialty certificate in orthodontics in 1991. His
master’s thesis was published in the American Journal
of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics in 1992.
Other publications include a functional appliance study
published in the Canadian Dental Journal in 1989.
Dr. D’Aloisio always planned on returning to Sudbury
to take advantage of the beautiful rural setting and
family-oriented lifestyle. He opened his orthodontic
practice in downtown Sudbury in 1991 but early
on realized that he would require a larger office to
accommodate his expanding client base. With this in
mind, Dr. D’Aloisio started planning for the future,
and only one year after opening his practice purchased
the property at 250 Notre Dame which is the current
location of Sudbury’s only stand-alone orthodontic
facility. The facility is routinely upgraded to maintain
its position as a leader in providing the most modern
and comprehensive orthodontic care to its clients.
At the local level, Dr. D’Aloisio is a past president of the
Sudbury Dental Society and provincially, a member of the
Student’s Committee of the Ontario Dental Association.
Since 1990 he has lectured on various orthodontic topics
to the dental hygiene program at Cambrian College. He
is active in many professional organizations including
the American and Canadian Orthodontic Associations.
Although Dr. D’Aloisio is no longer involved in organized
sports, physical fitness is still an important part of his
life and he enjoys many outdoor pursuits. He is also
an active sponsor of local sporting teams and athletes.
Two-Phase Orthodontic Treatment
appropriate treatment • appropriate time
The goal of this
treatment is to
create a better
environment for
your child’s
permanent teeth.
What is “two-phase” orthodontic treatment?
Two-phase orthodontic treatment consists of two
separate times when a child receives orthodontic
treatment. A first phase of treatment is done while the
child still has many or most of their primary or “baby”
teeth. A second phase takes place when the child
has most or all of their permanent teeth. Braces may
or may not be used during a first phase of treatment.
Other appliances (the name used for braces and other
devices for orthodontic correction) may be used.
Why does my child need two-phase treatment?
Dr. D’Aloisio believes that your child could benefit
from two phases of orthodontic treatment, based on
an examination of your child’s mouth and study of
diagnostic records. The goal of this treatment is to
create a better environment for your child’s permanent
teeth.
A first phase of treatment is initiated to:
• Prevent a problem from developing (preventive treatment)
• Intercept a developing problem (interceptive treatment)
• Guide the growth of the jaw bones that support
the teeth (growth modification)
Without this first phase of treatment, Dr. D’Aloisio has
determined that your child’s problem, if left alone,
will create an unhealthy environment for the growth
and development of your child’s teeth, gums, jaws
and face. The treatment will be timed to predictable
stages of dental development to provide the greatest
potential for improvement and correction of your child’s
malocclusion (bad bite).
Most patients will require a second phase of treatment,
often with traditional braces or the Invisalign System to
complete the tooth and jaw alignment that was started
during the first phase of treatment.
How does two-phase treatment benefit my child?
A first phase of treatment benefits patients physically,
enabling them to bite or chew more effectively. It may
reduce the risk of breaking front teeth that protrude.
And for many patients, there is improvement in selfesteem.
Younger patients may be more cooperative and follow
the orthodontist’s instructions on appliance wear and
oral hygiene. And the desired changes that result from
a first phase treatment may contribute to long-term
stability, meaning that teeth stay where the orthodontist
has moved them. A second phase of treatment moves
permanent teeth into their final positions.
Does a child’s growth affect orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontic treatment and a child’s growth can
compliment each other.
By timing orthodontic
treatment to predictable stages of dental development,
the orthodontist may be able to take advantage of your
child’s growth and development. Some problems that
can be treated quite well in a growing child may require
corrective surgery if treated after growth has occurred.
The goals of two-phase treatment
Dr. D’Aloisio has these goals in mind for your
child’s treatment:
• A proper relationship of teeth and jaws, so that they
work correctly
• Correct alignment of the teeth, for a beautiful smile
• Positioning of the teeth and jaws for an attractive
face and profile
To reach these goals, your child needs to:
• Follow instructions for appliance wear
• Keep the appliance, teeth and gums clean by
brushing and flossing as prescribed
• Keep scheduled appointments with your orthodontist
• Avoid food that may damage the appliance
• Maintain a healthy diet
How do I know two-phase treatment is right for my
child?
Orthodontic care is not a “one size fits all” approach.
Each patient has a unique problem that requires a
unique treatment plan. What is right for one child may
not be right for another. The diagnosis of your child’s
problem and the treatment plan are the result of a study
of your child’s mouth and diagnostic records.
Diagnostic Records: Initial/ Progress/ Final
People want to know
if the x-rays their
family dentist took
are adequate; why
progress x-rays are
necessary
and most of all, why
do we need final
x-rays?
initial • progress • final
Typical full diagnostic records include:
Panoramic View: This enables us to view the upper and
lower jaws, all the teeth and supporting bone, sinuses,
and a non-detailed look at the jaw joint. It enables us
to see abscesses, cysts and tumours of the jaw, the
number of teeth, the angles at which they are coming in
and general health of the bone.
Cephalometric View: This is an x-ray of the entire head
taken from 2 views. The frontal or full face view allows
us to see any asymmetries of the jaws, the skull, nasal
septal deviations and various diseases of the bone. The
profile skull view allows us to measure approximately
50 different areas by which we can construct a growth
analysis (child), classify facial type and make accurate
predictions as to what will happen without treatment and
what can happen with various alternative treatments.
Full Mouth X-Rays: These views of individual teeth
allow a much more detailed study of each individual
tooth for evidence of decay, trauma and periodontal
(gum) disease.
C.B.C.T. (Corrected Beam Computerized Tomography)
Provides three dimensional views of the jaws, teeth and
Temporomandibular Joint.
T.M.J. Laminograms: These are very specialized views
of the jaw joint which are only taken on patients who
have or are suspected of having jaw joint disease.
The laminograms allow us to check for correct joint
position, anatomical problems, various types of arthritis
and degenerative diseases and malignancies.
Photographs: Facial photographs allows us to study
asymmetry of the face, smile lines, lip competence and
certain facial muscle habits. The smile line is crucial to
a truly excellent result.
Photographs of the mouth itself allows us to study
texture of the lips, cheek, tongue, etc. as well as
documenting various types of stains or discolouration
of teeth. They also allow us to see the malpositions of
teeth from various angles.
Mounted Study Models: Plaster models of the teeth
are placed on an instrument called an articulator which
can exactly duplicate the position and movements of
the jaw joint. This is perhaps the most critical diagnostic
aid we have. It gives us a true picture of the way your
bite actually is.
Initial Diagnostic Records: These are taken before
treatment for diagnosis and planning purposes. All
of the described are typical, except the laminograms
which are taken on a case by case basis.
Progress Records
• Taken as patient advances into the second phase
of
treatment
• Taken to check eruption of teeth
• Taken in cases of trauma or injury to the face,
teeth or joints
• Taken to check joint position and bony changes in
TMJ patients
Progress records may include from one to all procedures
depending on the needs of the individual patient.
Final Records: These are usually a duplication of the
Diagnostic Records taken before treatment began.
With these records we are able to study:
• Differences in growth and jaw positions
• Differences in positions and angles of the nose,
lips, chin, teeth
• Differences in smile lines, profiles and asymmetries
• Angulations of teeth
• Presence or absence of wisdom teeth so that
appropriate measures can be taken
• Presence of abscesses, cysts, or tumours
• Presence of root damage
Many other things are evaluated from these final records
but in general they allow us to prepare for any future
problems (such as impacted wisdom teeth.) They
also allow us to plan the type of retention once braces
have been removed and how long retention appliances
must be worn in terms of hours per day and also in
terms of months or years.
Orthodontics: What Age?
adults • teens • children
No longer is treatment
limited to teenagers but
is available to adults of
all ages and to children
very early in their life.
Amazing advances in technology have brought the
profession of orthodontics (braces) to a new age. No
longer is treatment limited to teenagers but is available
to adults of all ages and to children very early in their
life.
When used properly these devices will:
1. Create space to minimize the need for extractions.
2. Ensure that the patient develops the most aesthetically
pleasing smile possible.
3. Eliminate the use of headgear.
For many years, children waited until all of the
permanent teeth were in to begin treatment. However,
many disadvantages were evident with this approach.
In many cases, permanent teeth needed to be removed
in order to gain enough room to align the teeth properly.
In some situations, this resulted in an undesirable facial
profile, a collapsed upper lip and a narrow smile. The
goal of early active treatment is mainly orthopedic, that
is, we concentrate on the proper development of the
upper and lower jaws. This has been accomplished
through various types of “expanders” as well as braces.
It is recommended that children be seen for the first time
at five or six years of age to check facial development
although, in most instances treatment does not begin
until the patient is seven or eight.
The tooth straightening portion of orthodontic treatment
has also been revolutionized. High technology wires
(nickel-titanium) allow us to treat in fewer visits with less
interruption of school and work schedules and with very
little discomfort for the patient.
It’s never too late to be your best. Orthodontic treatment
is about a change for the better, no matter what your age.
It can give you the confidence and pride that come with
straight teeth and a great smile. The condition of your
teeth, gums and supporting bone is the most important
factor in determining the potential for improving your
smile and dental health.
The good news is that the new techniques and materials
that Dr. D’Aloisio uses today have made wearing
braces more comfortable for adults and teens. Less
visible, more comfortable braces make treatment more
appealing than ever, and healthy teeth, bones and gums
of almost any age respond well to treatment. You can
also enjoy the aesthetic benefits and improved comfort
of Invisalign if the doctor determines that you are a
good candidate for this treatment approach.
You will be pleased to learn that orthodontic treatment
will work with your current lifestyle. You can do almost
anything with braces; sing, play a musical instrument,
dine out, kiss and even have your picture taken. Today’s
technology makes people in treatment feel better about
how they look. Metal brackets are much smaller than
they used to be even less noticeable are braces made
of ceramic, which are offered by Dr. D’Aloisio at no
additional fee. Lingual braces (ones that go behind your
teeth) may be appropriate in some cases. If wearing
braces is not an option the Invisalign system may be
the answer for you. Invisalign gradually moves your
teeth through a series of custom-made, removable,
invisible aligners. It is an ideal time for adults to consider
treatment.
What is TMJ?: temporomandibular joint syndrome
tem po roman d i b u l ar j oi n t syn d ro m e
Many people suffer
from dizziness,
earaches and pain of
the face, head, neck,
shoulder and back
without knowing
the cause.
Many people suffer from dizziness, earaches and pain
of the face, head, neck, shoulder and back without
knowing the cause.
Previously, patients seeking help for these types of
problems would go from “specialist” to “specialist”
seeking a cure.
Today, however, a condition
temporomandibular joint syndrome (TMJ), accounts
for a large number of these previously uncured and
painful ailments. These types of pain symptoms of
the syndrome not the problem itself. Correcting the
problem rather than the symptoms is the heart of TMJ
treatment.
Your jaw joint is suspended beneath the skull by an
intricate system of muscles and tendons. The jaw
joints, also known as temporomandibular joints, are the
most complex in the body.
The way your teeth fit together is called occlusion.
When your teeth are not in proper relation to each other
and to your jaw joints, the jaw automatically shifts to
a new position in an attempt to compensate for the
misalignment of your teeth—a condition known as
malocclusion (teeth do not fit together properly.)
When malocclusion exists, even what looks like a good
bite could be putting pressure or strain on the jaw joint
and muscles as the jaw shifts to accommodate the
teeth. Symptoms of misaligned teeth may be clenching,
grinding, premature tooth wear and stress on the
muscles and tendons. These may occur while awake
or during sleep. These stresses result in headaches,
muscular aches and pains in the face, neck, shoulders
and back, dizziness, earaches and ringing in the ear.
In addition, these common conditions often relate
to malocclusion and cause pain in and around the
temporomandibular joint. There are other conditions
which can affect the function and comfort of this joint
and total body health.
These conditions include various diseases—such as
arthritis, nutritional deficiencies, tumors, trauma and
infections.
Before prescribing the proper treatment for your
particular problem, a variety of diagnostic procedures
may be necessary. A special series of radiographs
(x-rays) may be taken of your jaw joint. This provides a
clear picture of your own particular TMJ anatomy. This
radiograph is used for detecting disease in and around
the jaw joint.
In order to study the relationship of your teeth and
joints, it is necessary to see how the joints guide the
jaw without interference from the reflexes and muscles
which are always accommodating to the fit of the
teeth. To do this, a record is taken measuring the
relationship of the teeth to the jaw. This record of the
joint guidance can then be reproduced on an instrument
called an articulator, simulating your own particular jaw
movements and bite relationship.
Then, without interferences from reflexes and
muscles, your bite can be studied for interferences.
Necessary treatment can then be prescribed.
After we have fully diagnosed the patient’s condition,
there are a number of different types of treatment that
we may recommend. Initial phases of treatment are
focused on relaxation of the muscle and assuring that
the jaw joint is properly hinged. The second phase of
treatment has as its goal the correction of occlusion
(proper meshing of teeth) so that the teeth are in proper
alignment with the repositioned jaw joint. Various TMJ
treatments are briefly explained below:
Phase One Treatment:
Splint/Jaw Repositioner Appliances
These appliances are used in treatment to temporarily
eliminate malocclusion problems and allow the head,
neck and facial muscles to relax. A splint is a rigid
acrylic mouthpiece that fits over the biting surfaces of
the teeth. This appliance is used to slowly change the
jaw hinge position by changing the biting surface of the
plastic. These changes will continue approximately
every two to three weeks for a period of 3 to 6 months.
Phase Two Treatment:
Ultrasound Muscle Stimulation
This type of therapy may be used during treatment to
additionally help alleviate muscle pain caused by TMJ
problems. Both of these treatments are performed
topically (to the surface of the skin) and can be done
routinely in our office.
Phase Three Treatment:
Occlusal Equilibration
In this procedure, the teeth are reshaped to eliminate
misaligned biting surfaces. This is done to alleviate
pressure on individual teeth and allow the face and jaw
muscles to relax on a permanent basis. This procedure
can only be done if after Phase Two treatment the tooth
fit misalignment is minimal.
Phase Four Treatment:
Orthodontics
Once proper jaw alignment has been reached through
splint therapy, orthodontics may be necessary to
achieve a proper tooth fit. Orthodontic tooth movement
must be used if, after jaw repositioning, misalignment
is significant.

assets is the people who make up the staff; the team
play that we have developed keeps the schedule
flowing and enthusiasm high.
During orthodontic treatment you may have some part of
your appliances come loose. Generally these problems
can wait until the next scheduled appointment. However,
if you are experiencing any discomfort, we will want
to see you at your earliest convenience. Additionally,
if a problem occurs after hours or on a weekend, you
may contact Dr. D’Aloisio at the emergency number or
consult our website at thesmilecentre.ca for helpful
information on how to deal with emergency situations.
Appointment Policy
Most people seeking orthodontic treatment have
important obligations during the day, whether for work
or for school. During active orthodontic treatment
the patient is seen regularly, and some of these
appointments may conflict with work or school. We
have put much effort and time into designing our
scheduling system. We want to see you on time for
your appointment and have plenty of time during each
appointment to answer any questions you may have.
We also want to work with you around your school and
work hours as much as possible. Thus, we need both
structure and flexibility in the schedule.
We schedule longer appointments during school hours
(daytime) and shorter appointments after school (prime
time). This arrangement allows us to maximize the
number of patients we can see after school or for after
work appointments.
Because the schedule is carefully crafted, your late
arrival may pose a problem. In fairness to the other
scheduled patients, we will not try to “squeeze” you
into the schedule but we will reschedule you. If we
have to reschedule an after school appointment, it will
need to be rescheduled during school hours. The same
condition applies for missed appointments.
Parents / Guardians
Parents/Guardians are expected to remain in the
reception area during the child’s appointments as
seating is not provided and the additional people in the
clinic can adversely affect treatment if the practitioners
are distracted.
