Services
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. This technology offers a comfortable alternative to traditional braces, allowing patients to maintain oral hygiene easily. Our specialists create customized treatment plans using 3D imaging to map precise tooth movements for optimal results.
Braces
Traditional metal braces provide effective tooth alignment solutions for complex cases. Our practice offers modern bracket systems with improved comfort and aesthetics. Treatment includes regular adjustments to ensure gradual, controlled tooth movement toward ideal positioning.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics addresses severe jaw discrepancies requiring combined orthodontic and surgical intervention. We coordinate pre-surgical alignment with oral surgeons to optimize functional and aesthetic outcomes. This treatment improves bite relationships and facial symmetry for lasting dental health.
Early Intervention
Early orthodontic intervention addresses developing bite issues in children aged 7-10. Our specialists identify skeletal discrepancies and implement appliances to guide jaw growth. This proactive approach often reduces future treatment complexity and creates optimal space for permanent teeth eruption.
Emergency Treatments
We provide prompt care for urgent orthodontic issues including broken brackets, wire irritation, or appliance damage. Our team offers immediate solutions to alleviate discomfort and maintain treatment progress. Emergency protocols ensure patients receive timely assistance during regular business hours.

I got my braces with Dr. Kho when I was 16, got them taken off when I was 18, and even after getting them off Dr. Kho and his team continues to cater to my orthodontic needs whenever I need it! The ladies there are always so lovely too! It's always a great experience when I'm there.

My son is under Dr. Koh’ treatment since 2018. Many times when had an emergency and issue with his herbst or braces, I will message Dr. Koh and he will get back to me in no time. Recently he just adjusted me on short notice to have a look and advice for my tooth extraction issue since I had no family dentist for myself. He is not only knowledgeable and dedicated professional but an awesome super down to earth human being. I do recommend Dr. Koh and his team. They are just amazing and the best choice

I had to transfer over here a year after getting my braces on and the service I received was beyond compare! Dr. Koh did such a fantastic job on my teeth, I went from feeling self conscious about accidentally flashing my teeth to just wanting to flash them at every person I see! Thank you so much Dr. Koh

We had an amazing experience at fort McMurray orthodontics with our brownie group! Dr Koh and the staff were so wonderful and showed the kids so much stuff! The kids left happy and had lots to talk about! I highly recommend groups in town to visit and take the “junior orthodontics”’program and anyone to visit for all their dental needs as the staff is so friendly!

I had braces for 20 months, and had nothing but an amazing delightful time every appointment. The staff remember your name even though they see so many patients, they are always happy and in a good mood. Halfway through my braces journey I had to move for a promotion to Edmonton, I didn't even consider switching orthodontics because did how amazing it is at this clinic !
