I am so happy with my orthodontic treatment. Dr. Vaibhav Gandhi provided great choices for my care and explained them very well. The process to get started was seamless and easy. My orthodontic clear aligners have been easy to wear and speak in, and I definitely speak a lot in my day. I am so excited to see the progress my teeth are making. The whole team is so friendly and open. Thank you, Symmetry orthodontics Calgary Team!

Their FAQ
Answers from their website.
What is orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that deals with preventing, identifying, and treating dental and facial irregularities. The term itself is derived from the Greek phrase ortho which means ‘straight’ and dontos which means ‘teeth’. Orthodontic care is provided to patients of all ages; however, it is typically recommended that patients wait until their early teenage years.
What does an orthodontist do?
An orthodontist is a dental specialist. These individuals focus on realigning crooked teeth and amending irregular jawbones. They’re qualified to administer traditional metal braces and clear aligners and retainers among other appliances designed to help teeth shift into a healthier position.
What’s the best age to visit an orthodontist?
The AAO (American Association of Orthodontists) advises that children should wait until they’re 7 years or older to see an orthodontist. By this time, all their teeth will have come in and they’ll be a mixture of baby and adult teeth too, which allows their orthodontist to see how their mature teeth will emerge and be impacted in the future.
