Services
Braces
Traditional metal braces effectively correct misaligned teeth and jaws through precise adjustments. Ideal for patients seeking durable, cost-effective solutions, this treatment improves bite function and aesthetic symmetry. Our team ensures comfort and clarity throughout the process.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Suitable for teens and adults, this option offers flexibility and comfort without compromising results. We provide digital planning for predictable, efficient treatment.
Growth Modification
Early intervention guides jaw growth in children to prevent future complications. This phase-one treatment creates space for permanent teeth and improves facial symmetry, reducing the need for extractions or surgery.
Surgical Orthodontics
Combining braces with corrective jaw surgery addresses severe bite issues and facial imbalances. We collaborate with oral surgeons to restore function and aesthetics for complex cases requiring structural adjustments.
Retainers
Custom retainers maintain your new smile after braces or aligners. We offer fixed and removable options to ensure long-term stability, paired with instructions for proper care and wear.

I've had three kids go to the orthodontists here for three different sets of wonky problems. Now they all have beautiful smiles, but more importantly, won't have jaw issues or lost teeth from overcrowding. The front staff is incredibly helpful and patient and the billing is clear from the get-go. These folks are great.

Both my sons have had braces and were really well taken care of by Dr Russell and her team. Dr Russell advised us of the best course of action (and choices we had) when my older son needed oral surgery to realign his jaw. She worked with Dr Doucet at VGA Halifax and we are very happy of the results! Thank you Dr Russell (and your whole team!)
