Considering Braces In Calgary? Get The Straight Talk First

There's a lot of information available to the public regarding different types of braces and  orthodontic systems.  If you're considering orthodontic treatment, it can be hard to sift through the advertising to get to the important message; what orthodontic option is right for you.

Seeing a Certified Orthodontist is a good place to start, as their exposure to different techniques, philosophies and systems helps them provide the best options for their patients.

It also allows them to predict if/when treatment might be more complex because they've treated and seen so many orthodontic cases.  This knowledge and experience means that the orthodontic patient will be offered the right treatment plan for their case and be supported throughout the treatment phase.

Orthodontic treatment is an exciting time but consists of a commitment of time, funds and energy.  This commitment is shared by the orthodontist so it's important to chose the right orthodontist for you - that way you'll be smiling all the time!

Dr. Cory Liss is a certified orthodontist in NW Calgary. Call today to schedule an appointment and discover more about orthodontic options.

Teen Invisalign In Calgary

Most people have heard of Invisalign, the clear orthodontic option, that uses invisible retainers to move teeth.

Well, Invisalign Teen is the latest, and greatest, innovation to come out of the Invisalign family.


It's the same great technology designed specifically for young patients. Don't let the thought of wearing 'metal braces' put you off orthodontic treatment; for many patients the option of clear, removable retainers, is available.

Cory Liss Orthodontics, a Certified Calgary Orthodontist, offers Invisalign, Invisalign Teen, Damon Braces and SureSmile.  Call us today to find out how we'll get you smiling.

Calgary Orthodontist Giving To Those Less Fortunate

Imagine lining up to see a dentist or orthodonist for care. 
Well in Guatemala that's what people from rural communities are faced with if they want to receive dental treatment.

Dr. Cory Liss will be one of several Calgary Dentists, with the Dentistry For All Organization, providing dental care to people from rural Guatemalan communities this September. 



This is a project that is important to Dr. Liss, as giving back to those less fortunate, is the foundation for his Calgary Orthodontic Office.  Dr. Liss would like your help in making his trip even more meaningful.  If you have any Happy Meal Toys please drop them off at our office so that Dr. Liss can take them with him to hand out to local children. Putting a smile on a child's face isn't always about great dentistry but receiveing a simple toy.

Help us make as many children as possible smile next month. Please drop off Happy Meal Toys by September 16th.
