Why consider orthodontics as an adult?

Aligned teeth are easier to clean and protect.
That reduces cavities, inflammation, and enamel wear.
A balanced bite supports comfortable chewing and speech.
Confidence grows when your smile feels natural and healthy.

Many neighbours choose orthodontics Coquitlam each year.
Technology improves comfort and treatment speed.
Plans are tailored to lifestyle, goals, and budget.

Invisalign® clear aligners

Invisalign uses a series of removable trays.
Each set moves teeth gently and predictably.
You wear aligners 20 to 22 hours daily.
Remove them to eat, brush, and floss.

Benefits of Invisalign

• Nearly invisible in meetings and photos.
• No brackets or wires to clean around.
• Fewer urgent visits for pokes or breaks.
• Flexible for travel and meal times.

Things to consider

• Success depends on consistent daily wear.
• Refinements may be needed for precise finishes.
• Trays should be stored in a case during meals.

See orthodontic options on our
services page.

Modern braces

Today’s braces are smaller and lower profile.
Brackets and wires guide teeth with constant force.
Options include metal and tooth-coloured brackets.
Braces excel at complex movements and bite work.

Benefits of braces

• Great control for rotations and root positioning.
• Always working, with no user removal.
• Predictable progress for many complex cases.

Things to consider

• Skip hard, sticky, and chewy foods.
• Brushing and flossing need a little extra time.
• Occasional wire adjustments may be required.
