I recommend Sphinx without hesitation.

I have seen two ENT's and both have said it is the braces and potentially lifelong of chronic pain is ahead of me. Callingwood just brushed me off and made me believe it was something else going on. You go through thoughts of cancer, nerve damage and whatever else research may lead you to believe. Diduch didn't care, as long as money was coming in. I Wish I could go back in time and get these two years of my life back (and my future) and never ever went to this place. It appears someone else has wrote a similar experience which is just awful. This place is a chop shop. Each time I vist I see someone different who knows little about me. I can't see how this translates to proper care. They have messed up adjustments too often where it causes immense pain and messed up teeth where I must book additional time off and return early to get it fixed. Two months ago they screwed up a tooth and pushed it way back... I was in excruciating pain and they couldn't get me in for over two weeks to fix it. Now my top front teeth went crooked and I can't get in to have it fixed until next week. I'd shop for an orthodontist carefully and not go somewhere that is careless and may cause TMJ and other issues with your jaw.

I had a root canal done at this office, and it was handled so poorly that it caused years of…read moreongoing health issues. After the procedure, I kept going back because something clearly wasn't right. Instead of addressing the problem, they repeatedly prescribed antibiotics and insisted nothing was wrong. Over time, I saw multiple dentists trying to get answers, but no one wanted to take responsibility or properly investigate. (created a ton of fear) I was essentially passed from one office to another with no resolution. Nearly nine years later, I finally found a dentist who took my concerns seriously and referred me to an endodontist. The specialist confirmed that the original root canal had failed they missed a canal. It had been overfilled, which caused a pocket in my jaw that repeatedly became infected. For years, I was dealing with chronic infections, with my mouth flaring up every month or so, and no one acknowledging the real cause. The dentist who performed the procedure claimed to be a specialist, but based on the outcome, the quality of work was unacceptable. This wasn't just a minor issue--it led to long-term damage and significant health complications. I've dealt with chronic inflammation, recurring infections, and even hospital visits due to blood infections that were never properly traced back to the source at the time. I paid for professional care and trusted this office, and after 4 hours in a chair and thousands later in return, I was left dealing with the consequences of a failed procedure that no one would take responsibility for. It took nearly a decade to finally get a clear diagnosis and validation of what I had been experiencing the entire time.(keep in mind I couldn't live on antibiotics either so no medication to heal it or prevent infection or I'd end up immune to them if I did) I would strongly caution others to seek second opinions and ensure they are getting proper care, because my experience here resulted in years of unnecessary pain and avoidable health issues. Also fun fact for anybody getting work done anywhere,did you know your body suffering with constant inflammation and infection, like from failed dental work, ya it could cause blood sugar issues.... The more you know.

Our appointment was scheduled for 10:00 a.m., but the doctor didn't see us until almost 10:30.

What's worse, they still charged us around $140 for basically doing nothing. I understand consultation fees, but this felt completely unreasonable and unprofessional. We left with no useful information at all. Very disappointing experience -- I would not recommend this clinic to anyone.

Here's a review, 10 years after getting my braces removed…read more I had very, very crooked teeth. Prior to getting my braces on in my teens, I had to get 8 baby teeth removed that hadn't come out on their own. I also had to get an expander, as my jaw was too small for my teeth that were severely crowded. Dr. Brian Nebbe was my orthodontist at Align in Sherwood Park. He started me with the expander, and did my braces as well. I had my braces for 3 years, and was given a retainer, as well as a rubber mouth guard looking thing that was meant to help with my overbite. I have several friends from high school that had their braces at the same time as me, and I can say I am the only one that still has straight teeth today (and no, I didn't wear my retainer as long as I was supposed to). Dr. Brian Nebbe was always very nice, very gentle, and obviously did a really great job on my teeth! I highly recommend using Align Orthodontics.

I have never had orthodontic work done prior to this and I was apprehensive about the procedure…read morebecause I had heard so many horror stories from friends who've had braces. Now that I'm in my thirties I decided I wanted to have my crooked front tooth straightened. I decided that I wanted to get three different consultations before selecting a practitioner. I tried two over clinics in the north side that came recommended but they could not get me in for a consultation for three months. I decided that those places were probably too busy to give me the kind of service that I wanted. The receptionist at Expressions is friendly and makes you feel welcome. I was able to get in quickly for a complimentary consultation ($150-$250) at other clinics. When I arrived, a technician came and took a series of x-rays and photographs for my file including the panoramic jaw x-Ray. She was nice and patient with me since some of the instruments are a touch uncomfortable. Once the picture session was done, I waited for Dr. Leong in an exam room. He is friendly and respected my concerns as well as my boundaries. I told him I would rather have crooked teeth than funny lips and that I wouldn't agree to any treatments that requires tooth extractions. He recommended three options with the expected duration of treatment and associated costs that day. I've had my braces on for almost a year now and I have to say that every visit to the clinic has been positive despite the pain that comes with braces. It is a clean facility with very friendly staff. Any time I have even a slight concern with my braces I can call or email and they can get me in quickly to resolve it. Service here is top notch and I would recommend to anyone looking for braces.

He was too rough with my 50-something year old teeth, and I was seriously concerned he would loosen a crown I'd had over a root canal. I chose regular braces over Invisalign because the amount of coffee and noshing that I do wouldn't have made it feasible. When I moved to the west side, I was lucky enough to begin coming to this clinic instead, and have been SO happy I did! Dr. P is hilarious. Should have been an actor. A complete character, but also very caring and professional. Not long into my treatment, I received a cancer diagnosis, and asked to speak to him privately about my care, because I was terrified and had no idea how to proceed. He took the time to tell me everything would be fine-- they could treat me in a private room, and they'd take every safety precaution they could. Fast forward a few months, I'm cancer free, and am nearing the end of the treatment (I know he's getting tired of me asking when these things can come off. LOL). He really has taken the trouble to get to know me, and I can't WAIT to see what my new smile looks like...hopefully around February.
