Why a specialist

Why a specialist, for every bite.

Orthodontics is a separate specialty after dental school. Here it is the only thing done, by a certified specialist with thirty years in it.

(Six reasons)

What actually sets this practice apart.

A certified specialist downtown

Orthodontics is a separate specialty after dental school, and Downtown Orthodontics is a specialist orthodontic practice in the downtown core. Everything here is planned by one.

On Align Technology’s scientific advisory board

Dr. Daher was among the first to use Invisalign and still sits on Align Technology’s scientific advisory board, one of a select few worldwide. Align gave him its Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014.

Conservative by conviction

Thirty years in, the rule has not changed: no unnecessary extractions, no surgery a patient does not need, and the least treatment that gets the right result.

Referrals and retreatment, routinely

Referred cases and retreatment are a normal part of the week here, which is what a specialist practice is for. Thirty years of it, in one pair of hands.

From $220/mo at 0% in-house

$1,000 down, financing arranged in-house at no interest, insurance billed directly, and your full cost in writing before you commit.

By Canada Place

Close enough to the office towers that adjustments fit into a lunch break, and close enough to transit that a school run works.

(The difference)

Specialist care, side by side.

What changes when a certified orthodontic specialist plans the case from the start.

Aligners without a specialist
A certified specialist downtown
No orthodontic specialist involved
A certified specialist at every visit
One appliance, whatever the bite
Braces, Invisalign and early care, matched to the bite
Finished when the trays run out
Refinement covered until the finish is right
Costs that land later
Your full cost, in writing, up front

Done right by a certified specialist downtown. It is still affordable here.

(In more detail)

The three that matter most.

A specialist plans it

Orthodontics is a separate specialty for a reason. Deciding how teeth should move, in what order, how far, and what to do when one does not track is the entire discipline. Dr. Daher has been doing it for thirty years and has taught it to other clinicians in 142 cities.

The aligners themselves come from the same company wherever you go. The planning does not.

A specialist plans it either way

Braces and Invisalign are different tools, and only one of them may suit your bite. Dr. Daher plans and adjusts both himself, so the option you are offered is the one your case calls for, and you get your exact figure in writing before you commit.

The least treatment that works

No unnecessary extractions. No surgery a patient does not need. A finished case means a healthy bite, and if getting there needs extra refinement, that is included rather than invoiced.

It is also why a seven-year-old often leaves with instructions to come back in a year. Watching is a legitimate treatment plan, and the check for it is free.

(The team)

A small team you will actually recognise.

The practice is deliberately small. You see Dr. Daher at every visit and the same handful of people at the front desk and chairside, which means nobody has to read your history back to you.

One free visit tells you everything.

A digital scan, a specialist’s read on your bite, honest options and your exact price in writing. Then you decide.

Free consultation. No referral needed. Clear and metal braces, and Invisalign.
