If you recently completed treatment at Kildonan Orthodontics, we’d like to congratulate you again! Now that your braces have been removed, Dr. Nickolaychuk will provide—or has provided you by now—with retainers.

After braces are removed, teeth can shift out of position if they are not stabilized. Our staff will tell you that retainers provide that stabilization. They are designed to hold teeth in their corrected, ideal positions until the bones and gums adapt to the treatment changes. Wearing retainers exactly as instructed by Dr. Nickolaychuk is the best insurance that the treatment improvements last for a lifetime.

To learn more about the advantages of wearing retainers after your orthodontic treatment with Dr. Nickolaychuk, please read this helpful article about retainers from KidsHealth or call our Winnipeg office at (204) 940-7888!

At Kildonan Orthodontics, we are pleased to offer our patients The Damon® System. These self-ligating braces allow your teeth to move more comfortably and easily than traditional braces. Thanks to these innovative new braces, achieving your perfect smile will be faster and easier than you ever thought possible!

After reviewing your specific needs, we will be able to provide you with a treatment plan that will have you smiling soon! Because the Damon System is very precise and effective, Dr. Brent Nickolaychuk can reduce the need for many of the time-consuming and complicated procedures that are used with traditional braces. Damon braces also work more efficiently, and fewer adjustments are required. As a result, your appointments will be faster and fewer in number. Lastly, Damon braces are small, very comfortable, and easy to keep clean!

At Kildonan Orthodontics, we are dedicated to continuing education and the best possible experience for our patients. It's a big reason why Dr. Brent Nickolaychuk is board-certified as a Fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada and an active member of the Canadian Association of Orthodontists, the Manitoba Dental Association and the American Association of Orthodontists.

This past weekend, Dr. Nickolaychuk traveled to Washington to participate in the AAO Annual Session. There is always plenty to learn at the AAO event, and it's also a time for us to meet and consult with orthodontists from around Canada and the U.S. and stay up-to-date on all the latest technologies and orthodontic treatment options available. This, of course, allows Dr. Nickolaychuk to give you, our great patients, the best treatment experience possible.

If you've got an appointment scheduled with Kildonan Orthodontics in the coming weeks, we invite you to ask Dr. Nickolaychuk about his trip, including what he learned and how continuing education and acquisition of new technology helps us treat you more effectively!
