Services
Traditional Braces
Our traditional braces system uses high-quality metal brackets and wires to gradually align teeth and correct bite issues. This proven method effectively treats complex orthodontic problems while offering durable, cost-effective treatment. Patients benefit from regular adjustments that ensure optimal tooth movement and long-term stability.
Clear Aligners
Custom-made clear aligners provide a discreet alternative to traditional braces for straightening teeth. These removable trays use advanced 3D imaging technology to create precise treatment plans with predictable outcomes. Ideal for adults and teens seeking aesthetic solutions without dietary restrictions or special cleaning requirements.
Surgical Orthodontics
Orthognathic surgery combined with orthodontic treatment corrects severe jaw misalignment and bite issues. Our specialists coordinate care with oral surgeons to address functional problems affecting speech, chewing, and facial symmetry. This comprehensive approach improves both dental function and facial aesthetics for lasting results.
Pediatric Orthodontics
Early intervention orthodontics addresses developing bite problems in children aged 7-10. Our specialists use growth guidance techniques to create proper jaw development and permanent tooth eruption patterns. This proactive approach often prevents more complex treatments while improving facial symmetry and dental function.
Emergency Orthodontic Care
We provide same-day emergency appointments for orthodontic issues like broken brackets or poking wires. Our team offers immediate relief for discomfort while maintaining treatment progress. Patients receive personalized after-hours care instructions and prompt follow-up appointments when needed.

I've been going Dr Brian for over 15 years and just know writing a review because I have to give him props, my teeth have remained straight! Started with retainers, after having braces as a child and I'm now continuing my full treatment of Invisalign. I've always had a very positive experience with him and his staff, and I appreciate that he's involved with the community. If you've been a patient of Dr B, please share your experience and support your local business AND if you are looking for some great looking teeth for your or your kids, Dr B is the way to go!

Great overall experience for both of my children. Their teeth look marvellous! Love Dr. Brian and his genuine care & concern. Also love Margie who is super efficient and friendly in the front office. We give the office a 4.5/5. Half a star lost due to Jeanette who was consistently rough and impatient with the kids, though friendly and positive to parents.
