This specialist orthodontics practice runs two clinics, one Yonge Street in Toronto and the other at Scarborough in Ontario. Patients of all ages are treated by the expert orthodontist and his team and their goal is to improve the smile of patients and give them a comfortable bite by correcting the alignment of their teeth. An initial consultation is scheduled and all treatment options are discussed with patients before treatment appointments are scheduled. Services at both clinics include conventional orthodontics for children, surgical orthodontics and fitting aesthetic appliances to correct the teeth alignment of adult patients.
