Ottawa-Gatineau Orthodontists Alliance

Who is the best person to tell me
what type of Orthodontic work I need?

Only an orthodontist can fully determine
how you can best benefit from orthodontics.

Based on expert knowledge, additional post-graduate education as well as a wide variety of specialized diagnostic tools and procedures, a Certified Orthodontist can best decide whether orthodontic treatments are recommended, and develop a custom care plan that’s right for you or a member of your family.
