Your Orthodontics Provider in Burnaby, North Delta & Langley
We can help your child or teen achieve a straighter smile and work towards better oral health at our Burnaby, Langley or North Delta locations. They may be able to choose from orthodontic options such as coloured or lingual braces, or clear aligners.
In Phase II, we apply full braces to a patient's upper and lower teeth. This phase will begin following the eruption of all permanent teeth and happens for most patients between the ages of 11 and 13.
Phase II treatment helps correct ongoing tooth and bite-related issues and to finish aligning the teeth and bite. Early Phase I correction paves the way for a successful second phase. Now, we'll ensure each tooth has a precise location in the mouth.
Our objective is to make sure your teen's teeth are situated where they should be in relation to other teeth, cheeks, tongue and lips.
Though it may take anywhere from 9 months to 5 years to complete orthodontic treatment, most patients take between 12 and 24 months.

Clear Braces - An inconspicuous alternative to metal braces, clear braces are a discreet way to help straighten your teen's teeth. They are typically made of ceramic material.
Traditional Metal Braces - Traditional metal braces have been used for decades as a reliable way to straighten teeth for children and teens.
