Our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists have some excellent information on the myths and facts of orthodontics. We encourage you to check them out today!

Ask Dr. Nickolaychuk: What can I expect during a consultation?

January 23rd, 2020

Great, great question. When you first come in for your consultation with  Dr. Nickolaychuk, we will conduct a comprehensive examination to assess your oral health. This will better enable our team to determine the best treatment method for you. Then, at your next appointment,  Dr. Nickolaychuk will discuss your orthodontic options with you and have you take intraoral and facial photographs and panoramic and cephalometric X-rays to help determine the proper orthodontic treatment method.

Our staff feels it’s important to take the time to carefully examine your diagnostic records after your consultation so that we can more thoroughly prepare for your treatment. If you are seeking treatment for your child, we ask that both you and your child attend the consultation. Give us a call today and schedule a one! We look forward to hearing from you!

Imagining life with Invisalign treatment at Kildonan Orthodontics

January 8th, 2020

Part of what makes Invisalign really "work," is that clear aligners can be customized for just about anyone. To find out if you are the right candidate for Invisalign treatment at Kildonan Orthodontics, the first thing  Dr. Nickolaychuk will do is to take an impression of your teeth as they are now and digitizes it. Using special software, they looks at the current positioning of your teeth and compares it to the way your teeth should look.

Next, our staff uses special software to map out the exact path your teeth will take from the beginning of your treatment to the end. Based on the results, a set of custom aligners are created just for your teeth. Throughout the course of treatment, you will be required to wear these clear, removable aligners one at a time; each one moving your teeth closer and closer to their final, perfectly aligned position. And since the aligners are virtually invisible, nobody around you will even know you are wearing braces!

Dr. Nickolaychuk ia a certified Invisalign providers. If you have questions about Invisalign, or would like to find out if you are a candidate for Invisalign treatment, please give us a call today.
