Services
Invisalign
Invisalign offers discreet teeth straightening through custom-made, removable clear aligners. This treatment provides a comfortable alternative to traditional braces while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Patients appreciate the convenience of removing aligners for eating and cleaning, with treatment plans tailored to individual orthodontic needs.
Invisalign Teen
Invisalign Teen addresses orthodontic needs for adolescents with features like eruption tabs and compliance indicators. This solution accommodates growing mouths while maintaining treatment effectiveness. Parents appreciate the built-in safeguards and regular progress monitoring during teenage orthodontic development.
Clear Braces
Clear braces provide aesthetic orthodontic treatment using tooth-colored ceramic brackets. This option combines traditional bracket technology with discreet appearance for patients seeking less visible correction. Regular adjustments ensure gradual tooth movement while maintaining natural aesthetics during treatment.
Stainless Steel Braces
Traditional stainless steel braces deliver reliable orthodontic correction through proven bracket-and-wire technology. This cost-effective solution offers precise tooth movement control for complex alignment cases. Regular adjustments maintain treatment progress while ensuring long-term dental health improvements.
Retention
Retention services maintain post-treatment alignment through customized retainers and follow-up care plans. We provide both removable and fixed retention options to preserve treatment results. Regular retention check-ups ensure lasting stability of corrected dental positions for optimal long-term outcomes.

Report
Dr.Scott is amazing. I needed to get Invisaligns and he walked me through everything. My issue is with Melissa. I was having trouble with one of the Invisaligns to the point my gum was hurting. I quickly stopped by and the girl at the front desk greeted me. For some reason she went and got Melissa who proceeded to read me the riot act by telling me that because of the pandemic I just cant stop by. I told her they felt uncomfortable and that I just needed to see someone quickly. She told me I had to wait 20 minutes. I told her I couldnt as we own our own business and I couldnt wait

Report
My daughter went to get her braces tightened, after missing months due to Covid - same as everyone else - and the nurse/receptionist who took her temp was so rude and condescending. She had biked there in 40 degree heat and when the nurse took her temp (outside, in the heat) it read 100.4 and they don't accept patients over 100. She would not repeat the test despite being told that my daughter had just biked there in the extreme heat. Repeating the test would take less than 10 seconds. At home I took her temperature and it is 98.8 and close to it on repeated tests. The temp in itself is not the

Dr. Allen was a beacon of hope when three other well established orthodontists in and around Ottawa would only advise surgery for my child's problem. Now after 2,5 yrs of non-invasive treatments, my daughter's braces were removed and she is proud over her winning smile and perfect bite. What a success!!
Dr. Allen's skills allowed him to take on risks where others shied away- for this we will always be very grateful. Dr. Allen and his team are simply the best!!

Dr. Allen and his team are amazing! Not very often can you be excited to go to an orthodontist, with them you will be. From the first appointment to the last, they explain what is going on with your teeth and what to expect. You never leave an appointment with any questions. He and his staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend!!!
