Resources for Your Orthodontic Journey

Taking care of your braces keeps your treatment moving smoothly and protects your teeth along the way. Stick to regular brushing and flossing around your brackets, wear a mouthguard during sports, and avoid hard or sticky foods that can break wires.

If a bracket ever comes loose, simply reach out to our team so we can get you fixed up.

To get the best results from clear aligners, consistency is everything. You must wear your aligners for 22 hours a day, taking them out only to eat, drink anything other than water, brush, and floss.

Keep your trays clean by rinsing them with cool water and brushing them gently daily, and always store them in their case when they’re not in your mouth to keep your progress on track.

Retainers keep your teeth from naturally drifting back to their old positions after your treatment is finished. Wearing them as instructed protects your investment and preserves your new smile for life.

Depending on your needs, we offer both removable clear retainers and traditional acrylic retainers with metal wire.

Most common issues—like a poking wire or loose bracket—can be temporarily managed at home by placing orthodontic wax over the sharp area until you can visit our office.

While true orthodontic emergencies are rare, we are always here to support you if you experience severe pain, discomfort, or an issue you can’t resolve yourself.

If something feels broken or out of place, give us a call so we can guide you on the next steps or get you scheduled for a quick repair.

We offer interest-free monthly payment plans so treatment can be spread across your course of care rather than paid up front.

Your exact plan is set out at your consultation, once we know which treatment suits you. There is no cost to attend that consultation and no obligation to proceed.

We accept most group insurance plans and are experienced with a wide range of insurance providers, and we bill your insurance directly. We are also very familiar with First Nations health benefits, including Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) and Jordan’s Principle, and can help guide you through the approval and funding process.

Your first visit is a relaxed consultation: meet the team, have a smile assessment, and leave with a clear picture of your options. The full walkthrough, including what to bring, lives on our New Patients page.
