No amount of money can buy it, but once you’ve got it, you can feel like a million bucks.
As lead orthodontists of myORTHODONTIST clinics in both Coquitlam and Maple Ridge, Drs. Aly Kanani and Alireza Ardekani know this paradoxical relationship many have with their confidence all too well.
And while they are professionally trained in all things oral health, they are also experts in giving patients back some swing in their step.
“When patients complete their treatment, their reactions are often incredibly positive,” Kanani says. “The transformation is not just physical – it’s emotional, as patients feel proud of their new smile and grateful for the journey they’ve been through.”
myORTHODONTIST’s breadth of expertise is spread across personalized treatment plans, offering a variety of services that include traditional braces, Invisalign, and airway-focused orthodontics.
Some of the most common procedures involve alignment of teeth and correction of malocclusion, ensuring functional and aesthetic improvements.
And with more than two decades of collective experience between them, Kanani and Ardekani provide specialized orthodontic care to patients of all ages: from young children needing early evaluations to adults seeking discreet and effective solutions like Invisalign.
“We are committed to giving patients their best smile and improved oral health,” Ardekani says. “Many express a renewed sense of confidence, and some even mention how they feel more comfortable smiling in social and professional situations.”
The myORTHODONTIST pledge begins at an early age, when children as young as seven are recommended to seek evaluations to detect any developmental issues with a child’s bite, jaw growth, or tooth alignment.
Intervening at an early juncture can guide teeth and jaw development, preventing more serious issues later in life. Early treatment can also minimize the need for more invasive procedures and help the patient achieve long-term stability in their dental health.
For adult patients, myORTHODONTIST provides a variety of orthodontic solutions, with Invisalign being one of the most popular options.
Invisalign allows adults to receive effective orthodontic care without the noticeable appearance of traditional braces. This clear aligner system offers the flexibility to correct alignment issues while being virtually invisible, making it an attractive choice for patients who prioritize discretion.
“Patients often start seeing tangible results within three to six months, depending on the complexity of their case,” Kanani explains. “Many patients experience positive changes early on, which motivates them to continue their treatment plan.”
myORTHODONTIST’s holistic and fulsome approach also includes evaluating airway health, particularly in children. Proper airway function is crucial for overall health, and orthodontic issues such as overcrowding or narrow arches can impact breathing.
Addressing airway issues early not only improves dental health but also overall wellness by reducing risks related to sleep apnea and improving energy levels and growth in children.
“The team feels immense pride when a patient completes their treatment, especially when we see how their self-confidence has improved.” Ardekani says. “It’s fulfilling to know that our work has contributed to making a significant difference in someone’s life, from both an aesthetic and health perspective.”
