Orthodontics
Vancouver, BC
Straighter Teeth for a Healthier, More Confident Smile
We Create Beautiful Smiles
and Improve Overall Wellbeing
A Healthy Mouth
Orthodontists and dentists encourage patients to straighten their teeth, as crooked teeth can prove challenging to clean properly. Plaque and bacteria can easily hide in the spaces where brushes and floss have a tough time reaching.
Better Jaw Function
A misaligned bite can place excessive pressure on your jaw, leading to painful TMJ issues and chronic headaches. Partnering with a trusted orthodontist can correct your jaw movement and give you much-needed relief.
Enhanced Smile
Everyone wants a gorgeous smile. The aesthetic benefits of orthodontics lead to straighter teeth, restored appearance, and a newfound sense of confidence you'll be able to show off with confidence for years to come.
Why Choose Enlighten Dental For Orthodontic Treatment?
There are myriad factors that distinguish our orthodontists' caliber of care in Vancouver, BC.
A Holistic Approach
For us, orthodontics is about so much more than granting you a beautiful smile; we create custom plans designed to assist your body's own natural healing ability. With thoughtful consideration for bodily wellness, we work hand-in-hand with medical practitioners to provide superior orthodontic treatment, alleviate chronic illnesses, and deliver comprehensive results your body will thank you for.
Material Biocompatability
Toxic materials can present substantial health consequences. Fortunately, the utilization of biocompatible materials ensures there are no adverse effects on our patients' biology when used in the mouth. Thorough testing supports our initiative to not use dental materials patients could be sensitive to or allergic to.

As a holistic practice treating patients just like you for over 30 years, we maintain that orthodontics goes beyond simply addressing your symptoms. We leverage our expertise to educate all who turn to us for their orthodontic care to grant them a deeper understanding of oral health's role in whole-body wellness.
Are You Ready for a Straighter, Healthier Smile?
Turn to Our Practice in Vancouver, BC
Misaligned, crowded, and gapped teeth aren't exclusively aesthetic concerns; these orthodontic issues can put you at high risk for cavities, tooth decay, gum disease, and other complications. A misaligned bite can also result in TMJ disorders that can lead to teeth grinding, headaches, and more. When you seek treatment from our holistic practice, you can rest assured we'll address your orthodontic issues with treatments that don't only revitalize your smile but promote your bodily health.
Common Orthodontic Problems
Orthodontic devices and premier care can treat issues such as:
Bite Misalignment
Overbite, underbite, crossbite, and other bite misalignments can have long-term consequences on your oral health. They can cause teeth to grind against each other, damage enamel, or lead to TMJ disorders by placing unnecessary pressure on the jaws.
Overcrowded Teeth
Teeth that turn sideways or block your tongue from moving freely can impact your speech and comfort. With extraction or devices that promote proper alignment, your teeth won't have to compete for space within your mouth.
Gaps Between Teeth
A gap between your teeth can impact the appearance of your smile – especially if it's front and center. Additionally, gaps can create whistling sounds when you speak or breathe through your mouth. In certain cases, a gap may be the result of oral health issues, such as gum disease.
Some of Our Most Popular Orthodontic Options
Invisalign
Our Vancouver office offers Invisalign®, clear removable aligners that are as comfortable as they are impactful. While more commonly used for teens and young adults, this treatment option has risen in popularity among patients of all ages. Our orthodontists will be happy to consult you on whether Invisalign is recommended for you or your child.
From traditional and lingual braces to Invisalign, headgear, and beyond, our specialists will work with you to find a solution that gives you the straight smile you're looking for – and accounts for the total wellness your body deserves.
