Treatment Options
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
There’s never been a better time to straighten your teeth with the most advanced clear aligner in the world. Our office is proud to be a certified provider of Invisalign clear aligners, which give you a clear, convenient, and comfortable option to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
Why Invisalign treatment?
- Faster treatment: With weekly aligner changes, you’re on your way to the smile you want even faster. Depending on your response to treatment, particularly in mature adults, we may consider longer periods between aligner changes.
- Proven results: SmartTrack® material and SmartForce® features are clinically proven to improve control of tooth movement with Invisalign clear aligners.
- Better fit: Aligners made from SmartTrack material are comfortable, fit well, and are easy to put on and take off.
- Effective: Invisalign clear aligners can treat a wide range of teeth-straightening conditions, including crossbites, crowding, open bites, gapped teeth, overbites, and underbites.
- Virtually invisible: Most people won’t even know you’re going through treatment, because Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible!
- Comfortable: Invisalign clear aligner trays are not only smooth and comfortable to wear, but they’re also removable. That means you can continue doing all the things you normally would, from brushing and flossing to eating whatever you like.
- Convenient: Invisalign treatment is ideal for your busy schedule, since you only need to visit our office every six weeks.

Clear Braces
A Clear Solution that Inspires Smiles with 3M™ Clarity™ Ultra Self-Ligating Braces
Smiles are unique, and you should feel confident to show off your smile while wearing braces. Clarity Ultra clear braces offer an aesthetic solution for patients who seek a confident and comfortable smile while wearing braces.
The translucent ceramic brackets are designed to blend naturally with your teeth. They are also self-ligating, which simply means the braces work without ligatures or bands that other styles of braces use to hold wires in place. This means you don’t have to wait until your braces come off to enjoy your smile. You can feel confident and smile beautifully both during and after treatment.

Why choose Empower 2?
- Low-force, low-friction brackets designed with contoured edges and a low profile make orthodontic treatment more comfortable

- With interactive, passive, or a combination of the two with our Dual Activation™ System, Empower brackets offer precise movement and control
Dentofacial Orthopedics
What is dentofacial orthopedics? Many patients wonder what it means when their orthodontist specializes in dentofacial orthopedics. This specialization means that your doctor has training and experience in working with the management of tooth movement (orthodontics) as well as the guidance of facial growth and development (dentofacial orthopedics), which occurs during childhood and adolescence.
Sleep Apnea
Do you get drowsy easily without any explanation? Have you started snoring loudly or waking up breathless in the middle of the night for no reason? If you have any of these symptoms, you may have a condition known as sleep apnea. Sleep apnea affects millions of Canadians and can be a serious condition. Orthodontic treatment can be a safe and effective way to reduce or eliminate sleep apnea symptoms.
TMJ/TMD Treatments
What is TMJ/TMD and why does it matter to you? Temporomandibular Disorder is a condition where the joints in your jaw become sore and movement is restricted. Millions of Canadians suffer from chronic face and neck pains as well as recurring headaches. These can all be signs of a TMD/TMJ condition that may require treatment.
Surgical Orthodontics
Orthodontics is designed to reposition and straighten teeth, but surgical orthodontics may be needed in some cases to correct more severe jaw irregularities. Surgical orthodontics aligns the upper and lower jaws with the rest of the face, often improving a patient's ability to chew, speak, and breathe. Braces or Invisalign are used together with jaw surgery to achieve ideal jaw and tooth positions in (non-growing) adults.
