Orthodontics in New Westminster

Orthodontics

Teeth don’t always stay where they should. Sometimes they come in crowded, or tilt over time, or a bite just doesn’t meet evenly anymore. Orthodontics is how we gently guide them back. It’s slow work, but steady, and it makes a big difference in the long run.

These days, most of our patients use clear aligners instead of braces. They’re simple trays that slide over your teeth and move them in small steps. You switch to a new set every couple of weeks. No wires, no tightening appointments, and you can take them out to eat or brush.

At our New Westminster clinic, the process starts with a scan — quick, no putty. We show you a digital image of your teeth and what kind of movement is possible. Some cases need only a few months; others take longer. Either way, we check in regularly and make sure things stay on track.

Adults choose aligners just as often as teens now. They’re easy to wear, barely visible, and they fit around daily life. Some people forget they’re in by the end of the first week.

When treatment’s finished, retainers hold everything in place while your gums and bone adjust. They’re thin, clear, and simple to wear at night. Skip them too often, and teeth start to wander again — so we help you build the habit.

Straightening teeth isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about comfort — the kind that comes when chewing, brushing, and smiling all feel natural again.
