Your questions, answered. Check out our FAQs

What is the best feature of your office?

We have a customized treatment for every patient. The doctor is there every step of the way, providing a hands-on, one-on-one treatment from beginning to end. You have time to ask questions to the doctor directly, and discuss your treatment progress.

Why should I choose an Orthodontic Specialist instead of my dentist for braces?

An Orthodontic Specialist has 3 more years of training, specifically in orthodontics, at an accredited university. An Orthodontic Specialist has the knowledge and ability to treat different types of crooked teeth- from complex surgical cases to uprighting tipped teeth, and preparation for implants.

Why is orthodontics expensive?

Orthodontics is a complex treatment involving small movements over time. With the orthodontic specialist’s highly skilled precision, techniques and materials, we closely monitor to ensure the best treatment and results. We offer flexible payment plans to accommodate your financial needs.

Does my insurance plan cover orthodontics?

We provide you with an Estimate Form to submit to your insurance company, to determine if your insurance plan covers Orthodontic Treatment. Sometimes, your plan will cover 5o% of the cost, with a lifetime maximum amount. Not all plans cover orthodontic treatment. Please consult with your Plan Booklet under Orthodontics. OHIP does not cover orthodontics.

What happens in case of an emergency?

We offer patients a text messaging service to send us a photo with their question. We understand that things happen, and you want to know what to do. We will be in touch right away.

Is the consultation free?

Yes, absolutely.
