WHAT IS ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT?
The Basics Of Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a dental specialty that deals with preventing and correcting malpositioned teeth and jaws. By correcting the position of your teeth and jaw, we can help you improve your oral health and improve your smile's overall look.
Correcting Your Smile
Braces and Invisalign can help correct your teeth to help you get a brilliant and beautiful smile that will last. We are here to help you improve your overall dental health while also getting the smile you've always wanted.
Why Choose An Orthodontist?
While many dentists also offer Invisalign, it's important to seek out an orthodontist. We specialize in the correction of the position of teeth and jaws, and we have more day-to-day experience with orthodontic treatment.
WHY TREATMENT IS IMPORTANT
Getting The Right Treatment
Everyone's mouth is different, which means that all of our treatment plans are customized to the needs of each patient. We're here to make sure all of our patients get the right treatment.
Treatment Solution That Fits You
During our initial virtual consultation and your first visit to our office, we will determine the best treatment plan. We use X-rays and dental images to assess what needs to be done to fix your bite and the positions of your teeth.

All of our orthodontists are board-certified, which means you can trust in their expert advice and experience. We specialize in braces and Invisalign and can help you achieve the best possible result.
TREATMENT OPTIONS
Different Types Of Treatment Options
Our Edmonton orthodontic office is here to offer you different treatment options, including braces and Invisalign. We’ll explain the benefits and drawbacks of each course of treatment, along with why we’re recommending a certain path to help you achieve the best possible results.
​
There are many different pros and cons to choosing braces or Invisalign, and our top priority is educating our patients so they can understand their choices. While you may want Invisalign so you can correct your teeth without the look of braces, sometimes it might not be the best choice, and our team is here to help you understand exactly why we might be recommending braces instead.
