Fort Orthodontics

Fort Orthodontics: Orthodontics in Fort Saskatchewan

Fort Orthodontics is an orthodontic clinic located in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. It opened in 2009 and, according to its own presentation, was the first orthodontic practice in the area. The clinic welcomes new patients and combines orthodontic treatments with family and emergency dentistry services, as described on its website.

Orthodontic Treatments

The clinical offering is structured around three main modalities:

• Invisalign: clear plastic aligners that, according to the clinic, produce noticeable results in less time than traditional orthodontics.
• Traditional Braces: comprehensive orthodontic treatment aimed at correcting the entire dentition, not just the visible front teeth.
• Clear Braces: custom, 3D-printed ceramic brackets from the LightForce brand, presented as an aesthetic alternative to conventional braces.

The clinic defines its approach as comprehensive and personalized orthodontic treatment, with the goal of correcting the entire dentition.

The Team and the Lead Doctor

The professional team is led by Dr. Justin Kim, an orthodontic specialist. He trained at the University of Alberta, where he earned a Bachelor of Medical Science and a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. Before specializing, he practiced as a general dentist in High River, Alberta. He later returned to the University of Alberta to complete a three-year orthodontic specialty program. The clinic notes that he has accumulated eleven years of education and training at that university.

Dr. Kim works alongside Dr. Sunny. The clinic notes that the team is stable and welcomes patients with a friendly approach.

Languages Spoken

In addition to English, the clinic offers appointments in Korean and Tagalog. Patients can indicate their language preference when booking.

Insurance, Payments, and First Consultation

Fort Orthodontics offers direct insurance billing for patients with a policy that includes orthodontic coverage. The clinic handles the collection of the covered portion and spreads the remaining amount over a flexible payment schedule with 0% interest. According to the clinic's information, treatment can begin on the same day as the visit if the patient provides their insurance details when requesting the first consultation, which is free.

Virtual Consultation and Scheduling Flexibility

The clinic offers patients a virtual orthodontic consultation for those who prefer not to visit in person or want to learn about treatment options beforehand. It also offers schedules adapted to families, with the goal of balancing treatments with work and school schedules.

Facilities and Technology

The website mentions a dental technology area and audiovisual resources, including videos and podcasts, as well as online forms for patient history and an Invisalign virtual care service.
