Dr Sean, Dr Guy and Dr Nipuni are general dentists, not specialist orthodontists. If your case would be better handled by a specialist, we’ll tell you and refer you.
Your first visit is a consult. We examine your mouth and bite and talk through what you’d like to change.
After a check-up and clean, we take photos, a scan and X-rays. Aligner patients then review a 3D simulation of their plan about two weeks later.
We fit your first aligners or place your braces, and send you home with our aftercare guide.
Short, regular visits keep your treatment on track and let us make adjustments.
Once your teeth are in place, a fixed or removable retainer helps keep them there.

Most people feel some pressure or tenderness for a day or two when they start a new set of aligners or have braces adjusted. It usually settles quickly.
Treatment works best in a healthy mouth. You’ll need a full dental exam, a professional clean and bitewing X-rays, and any fillings or gum care done first. We can do all of this here.
