Services
Orthodontic Treatment
We provide comprehensive orthodontic treatment using traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, and lingual braces to correct dental misalignments. Our customized approach addresses bite issues, crowded teeth, and jaw discrepancies for improved oral health and aesthetics. Treatment plans incorporate advanced diagnostic tools and phased interventions when necessary.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Our Invisalign treatment offers a discreet alternative to traditional braces using custom-made, removable aligners. This technology gradually shifts teeth into proper position while allowing patients to maintain normal eating and oral hygiene routines. We utilize iTero digital scanning for precise treatment planning and progress tracking.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
We specialize in early intervention for children aged 7-10 to address developing bite problems and jaw growth issues. Our approach guides facial development, creates space for permanent teeth, and reduces future treatment complexity through growth modification techniques and orthopedic appliances.
Corrective Jaw Surgery
For severe skeletal discrepancies, we coordinate corrective jaw surgery with oral surgeons to realign upper and lower jaws. This treatment addresses functional issues like difficulty chewing or speaking while improving facial symmetry and long-term dental health outcomes.
Emergency Orthodontic Care
We provide prompt care for urgent orthodontic issues including broken brackets, loose wires, and appliance-related discomfort. Our team offers immediate guidance and same-day appointments when necessary to resolve pain and maintain treatment progress.

I had an Invisalign treatment completed with Shadmand in 2016. I wasn't completely satisfied with the results but yet Shadmand decided the treatment was complete. I was never offered a consent to sign and they proceeded with removing the Invisalign components, installing the wires behind me teeth and preparing a permanent retainer to be worn forever. The wire behind my top teeth had recently come off and they were nice enough to accommodate an appointment for a replacement on short notice. However, Shadmand's first attempt at installing the the wire wasn't very successful and she quickly became

There's a reason I drive 45-minutes (each way) to my old neighborhood in Toronto to get my teeth taken care of by this office! -- I was worried about getting braces for the second time... I had them in my teens but the Orthodontist I went through didn't do a great job at helping me maintain the work we did. Spending more time and money to 're-do things' in my 40's certainly wasn't something I was excited about... but did this office ever help me regain my trust in an Orthodontist!
Dr. Shiva Shadmand has been so kind and is always so friendly, and very professional! She helped me select an effective

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Empress orthodontics. After approx. $8000 my teeth were completely ruined. Near the end of my initial treatment with braces I was informed that I would need to get veneers. After speaking with a few cosmetic dentists, I was informed my teeth were not in the optimal position for the veneers. I then had to pay an additional $2000 to empress on top of my initial treatment to further correct my teeth. After several tries and failed results I finally gave up. I found Dr. Shadmand to be extremely unprofessional and difficult to deal with. We were unable

Dr Shadmand treated both my sons, and we have been extremely pleased with the experience.
Dr Shadmand explained the whole process to us. During regular visits she checked everything thoroughly, and on both occasions the treatment was finished at the target time. She was approachable during emergencies and holiday season. All her staff are very friendly and very accommodating to give appointments that works with student schedules. Highly recommended,
