Residents in the Tri-Cities area of British Columbia, which includes Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, and Port Moody, have several orthodontic options available for children, teens, and adults. Local clinics, such as The Grove Dentistry, provide comprehensive services ranging from traditional methods to modern clear aligners.
The primary orthodontic options include:
- Invisalign: Custom clear aligners that are removable and discreet, typically used for mild to moderate alignment issues with a treatment duration of 12 to 18 months.
- Traditional Metal Braces: Durable straightening methods used for reliable correction, especially in more complex cases.
- Ceramic Braces: These offer the effective results of traditional braces but with a more blended, subtle appearance.
- Early Intervention: Evaluations recommended by age seven to guide growth and address potential alignment issues early.
Service availability and pricing vary across the region. Port Coquitlam clinics often offer Invisalign and braces with average costs ranging from 4,000 to 7,500 CAD. Coquitlam focuses on pediatric care and braces with costs between 3,500 and 6,500 CAD. Port Moody provides traditional and cosmetic options ranging from 4,500 to 8,000 CAD.
