Reveal the New Smile!

Treatment typically takes 12–24 months. When braces come off, your child receives a custom retainer to keep that perfect smile for life.

Braces or Aligners Fitted

We gently place the chosen appliances and ensure your child is comfortable, informed, and excited about their smile journey. The whole appointment typically takes about 90 minutes.

Regular Check-Ins & Adjustments

We monitor progress every 6–8 weeks. Our team is always reachable between visits if your child has questions or concerns — because we believe in true continuity of care.

Custom Treatment Planning

Together we design a personalized treatment plan that fits your child's needs, timeline, and your family's budget. We'll go over insurance and payment options in detail.

What Ottawa Families Are Saying

Dr. Issam was very professional and made sure I understood every step that will be taken to have my teeth fixed up.Today I went and had my braces put on. The process was easy and stress free! Breaks we’re given when needed, and again the staff ensured my thorough understanding of the process.

Dr. Issam is great. He asked me what I wanted from the treatment and let me choose the option I was comfortable with.

I’m almost at the end of my Invisalign treatment and I am so glad I chose Dr. Issam’s services for this!They have a super clean and organized space, and great processes that always makes me feel relaxed to go there. This was the reason I chose to come here for my treatment in the first place, and they offered a free consultation. (I had gone to another orthodontist on bank st for a consultation, and hated the experience and service there).

I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Issam Abualreesh. I recently received a 5-star treatment for my adult Invisalign at the age of 47. Dr. Abualreesh and the team corrected several teeth and adjusted my bite with utmost precision. The service provided was extremely professional, and they are dedicated to achieving excellent results.
