Strasdin Orthodontics

Specialized Orthodontics in Alberta and British Columbia

Strasdin Orthodontics is an orthodontic clinic with three locations: Grande Prairie (Alberta), Dawson Creek (British Columbia) and Fort St. John (British Columbia). Its orthodontists, Dr. Robbie Strasdin and Dr. James Stephenson, are certified specialists in orthodontics. The clinic treats children, teens and adults, and does not require a medical referral for an initial consultation; it also welcomes second opinions.

Treatments: Braces and Invisalign

The clinical offering is built around two main lines: braces and Invisalign. The center presents itself as a Gold Invisalign® provider, a distinction that, according to its own description, is granted to professionals with a certain level of experience with the system. The page includes specific information about Invisalign for teens, costs and frequently asked questions.

In the braces section, the site details aspects such as brushing and flossing, the types of braces available, orthodontics for different ages, early prevention, orthodontic retention and the palatal expander. Orthodontic emergency care is also covered.

Dentofacial Orthopedics and Surgery

In addition to conventional orthodontics, the clinic offers dentofacial orthopedics treatments, surgical orthodontics and temporary anchorage devices (TADs). The material also includes references to the American Ortho Empower 2 and Empower 2 Clear systems.
