Orthodontic Treatment in Vancouver
Comprehensive Orthodontic Treatment
Misaligned teeth can affect more than appearance. Bite issues, crowding, and spacing can make cleaning difficult and increase the risk of uneven wear or jaw discomfort over time.
Comprehensive orthodontic treatment focuses on correcting alignment and bite function through a structured, step-by-step approach. Treatment options may include braces or clear aligners, depending on the complexity of the case.
The process begins with a full assessment of your teeth, jaw, and bite relationship. A personalized plan is created to guide tooth movement safely and predictably.
The goal is not only straighter teeth, but improved function and long-term stability. Proper alignment supports better oral hygiene, balanced chewing, and overall dental health.

Braces (Fixed Appliances)
Braces correct a wide range of orthodontic concerns, from crowding and spacing to bite problems that affect how your teeth fit together.
Modern braces are smaller and more comfortable than many people expect, with both traditional metal and aesthetic champage colored brackets (Iconix® Aesthetic Braces) available.
Treatment time varies with the complexity of your case, but the result is a healthier bite and a confident, lasting smile. Whether you’re considering braces for yourself, your teenager, or your child, book a consultation to find out whether they’re the right fit.
Invisalign / Clear Aligners
Straightening teeth no longer requires visible metal braces. For many patients, appearance and convenience are key concerns when considering orthodontic treatment.
Clear aligners, such as Invisalign®, offer a discreet alternative. These custom-made trays gradually move teeth into position and can be removed for eating and daily oral care. This makes them easier to integrate into your routine without major lifestyle adjustments.
Treatment is planned digitally, allowing you to see projected results before starting. Each set of aligners is designed to make small, controlled movements over time.
Clear aligners are suitable for many alignment issues and provide a flexible option for patients seeking a low-profile solution with predictable results.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Some alignment and bite issues begin developing at a young age. Waiting too long can allow these problems to become more complex and harder to correct.
Early orthodontic treatment focuses on guiding jaw growth and tooth development while a child is still growing. This can help create space, correct bite issues, and reduce the need for more extensive treatment later.
The Canadian Orthodontic Association recommends an orthodontic evaluation at age 7 to identify any early concerns. Not all children require immediate treatment, but early evaluation allows for better timing and planning.
Addressing issues early can simplify future care, improve function, and support proper dental development as the child grows.
Retainers
After orthodontic treatment, teeth can gradually shift back if they are not properly maintained. This is a common concern for patients who have completed braces or aligner treatment.
Retainers are used to hold teeth in their new position and preserve the results achieved. They are custom-made for comfort and can be either removable or fixed, depending on your needs. Our clinic uses both VIVERA® Retainers and custom in-house Essix retainers to ensure you have the best option to maintain your smile.
Wearing retainers as recommended is essential for long-term stability. Without retention, teeth may slowly move over time.
A consistent retention plan helps protect your investment in orthodontic treatment and ensures your smile remains aligned and stable for years to come.
Airway Conscious Orthodontics
Modern orthodontics goes beyond straight teeth. At our practice, airway conscious orthodontics begins with a thorough evaluation using cone beam CT (CBCT) imaging, allowing us to assess your airway in three dimensions and identify patterns that affect breathing, sleep, and overall health.
For both children and adults, we offer targeted expansion therapy to widen the dental arches and open the nasal airway. From Rapid Palatal Expanders (RPE) for growing patients to Miniscrew Assisted Rapid Palatal expanders (MARPE) for adults, every treatment plan is tailored to your unique anatomy and goals.
When standard solutions are not the right fit, we design custom appliances built precisely for your bite, airway, and lifestyle because effective treatment should work for you.
