Every plan starts with a free consultation. We look at how your teeth meet, talk through what you want to change, and walk you through the options and the timeline before anything begins.
What we treat with
Four ways to move a smile.
Clear aligners
A modern discreet solution for patients who prefer a near-invisible option. A series of custom trays guide teeth into place over time. Popular with teens and adults who want treatment that fits a daily routine.
Customized treatment plans
Every situation is unique. Treatment is built around your bite, your goals and your timeline, using the most sophisticated dental technology available today.
Retainers and follow-up
A finished treatment is only as good as how the result holds. We fit retainers, monitor settling, and stay on the line for any adjustments down the road.
Care for every age
When to come in.
Children (around age 7)
The Canadian Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic visit by age 7. Early evaluation catches growth and bite issues while they are easiest to address.
Teens
The most common years for orthodontic treatment. We work around school, sports and music schedules.
Adults
It is never too late to straighten teeth. Modern discreet options make adult treatment a quiet, comfortable choice.
Appliance info
Caring for your appliance at home.
Quick reminders for the most common appliances. If you are unsure about anything, call the office. We would rather you call than wait.
Brackets and wires
Brush carefully around brackets, twice a day. A soft-bristle brush works best. Floss daily with a threader or water flosser.
Aligner trays
Wear at least 22 hours a day, removing only to eat and brush. Rinse trays in cool water, never hot. Keep them in their case when out of your mouth.
Retainers
Wear as directed. Clean daily with cool water and a soft brush. Bring them with you to every visit so we can check fit.
If something breaks
Loose bracket, poking wire, lost aligner: call the office. We can usually fit you in for a quick repair. Do not try to bend a wire yourself.
