About Orthodontics in Surrey

Orthodontics is all about change: change in a smile, growth and maturity of a child, and a positive change in self-esteem and confidence. These changes in our patients is what makes orthodontics amazing! Dr. Chow and his team have the ability to create a spectacular smile for our patients, while seeing them grow from shy children, into mature teens, and finally young adults, ready for the world.

How Orthodontic Treatment Works

Dr. Chow sees children as early as age seven at our Surrey, BC orthodontic office to screen them for orthodontic needs, and early interceptive treatment as required. If they do not require treatment, they are enrolled in our Pre-Orthodontic Guidance Program, with complimentary visits twice a year, which allow our doctors to monitor and guide their dental development and growth over time. This also allows us to recommend any required treatment at the optimal time. Early interceptive treatment can be completed with removable appliances, fixed appliances, and braces.

Orthodontic treatment for adolescents and adults is usually completed with metal and clear self-ligating braces or Invisalign® clear aligners. Regardless of the type of appliance used, orthodontics creates a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, to slowly move teeth to the proper position.

We utilize the latest technologies in orthodontics to ensure efficiency in treatment, as well as comfort for our patients. Our latest addition is the iTero® Element intraoral digital scanner, which takes digital impressions for study models, appliances, and Invisalign treatment. This eliminates the need for uncomfortable and messy impressions! We are proud to be the first orthodontic and dental office to operate the iTero Element scanner in Canada.
