Orthodontics

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry specializing in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities in children and adults in order to achieve improved appearance and better function. The technical term for an orthodontic problem is malocclusion, which simply means 'bad bite'.

Adults

If you think braces are just for kids, think again. The fact is, many of our patients are adults. That's because today, thanks to the newest technologies, correcting orthodontic problems is possible at any age. Modern orthodontic treatment is more comfortable, less visible and often requires fewer appointments than you might expect. Some of the treatment options allow us to obtain dramatic results in facial appearance - even in the most severe cases. Our Adult Web page may answer some of your questions.

Often people think of organizations or individuals when it comes to recognizing someone for community spirit.I’d like to recognize my family.

Fourteen years ago, when I was just a baby, my family began to help out an elderly lady (our next‐door neighbour). She was once a complete stranger, but with my parents’ care and support, she eventually became like a grandmother to us.

As young children, my brother and I would go over to her house and deliver a special arts and crafts item that we had spent our time working on that day. She was delighted by the gift as well as the frequent visits since her family did not live in Brandon.

As we grew older, we would continue to stop by her house and we would mail letters for her and pull weeds from her flower bed, as at that time, she was well over 90 years young. Marge was someone who loved music and so I would often go over and her and I would play the piano and sing songs.

As she began to age, her family became more concerned about her and would call for us to check in on her to see that she was doing alright. My mom would make Marge home‐cooked meals and my brother and I would deliver the meals to her. If mom was heading to the store, we would check to see if she needed any errands run.
 

My Dad looked after Marge’s yard. He would cut the grass and keep her yard immaculate during the summer and keep her driveway clear during the winter. He would do household repairs and we would all keep her yard intact as we painted the fence, cleaned windows, pruned trees and other yard maintenance.
 

One time Marge had an accident and mom rushed her to the Emergency Room. She spent a few hours there with her and even spent the night at her home to make sure that she was alright.
 

In 2005, Brandon was hit by a terrible downpour of rain. This led to the lower parts of Brandon dealing with sewer backup … Marge’s home and ours included. My parents helped Marge during this difficult time and we all managed to get through it, together.
 

Since Marge was so close to us, my brother and I would make her cards on special occasions like Mother’s Day, Christmas, and her birthday. We would send her flowers, also.
Marge has recently moved away from Brandon, but we continue our connection with phone calls and visits to Winnipeg. She celebrated her 100th Birthday this past year.
 

Even though she doesn’t live next door to us anymore, those 12 years of help we gave her bonded us together so that she was like a “grandma” to us. If she was still living next door, our family would be delighted to continue helping her.
