Node one is a free consultation — and a short drive you'll make many times.
Westwood Plateau is our nearest neighbourhood: down Pinetree Way or Johnson Street to Coquitlam Centre in five to eight minutes, with underground parking off Atlantic Avenue. After-school adjustments are easy to fit; many Plateau teenagers walk or bus to the Centre and come in on their own.
What Westwood Plateau families ask us
Mostly timing questions — whether a fifteen-minute adjustment can genuinely fit between school pickup and dinner (it can), and whether an older teen can manage appointments independently (most do). Clinically the Plateau sends us the full range: early looks, teenage braces and aligners, and a steady number of adults who've decided it's their turn — see adult orthodontics.
What happens at the first visit
A free consultation with a certified specialist in orthodontics: photographs, a scan, usually a panoramic X-ray, an examination of the bite and the jaws, and a plain-language explanation of what we see. For children around seven, the most common outcome is "developing well — see you in a year," and monitoring visits are free. For teens and adults, you leave with every viable option — braces or Invisalign — priced side by side in writing, with retainers included. Book a free consultation or call (604) 949-0654.
Compare us fairly
There are other credible orthodontic practices in the Tri-Cities and we'd encourage a comparison. Take the same questions to both — who diagnoses, what the fee includes, whether retainers are inside it, whether the consultation started with records — and choose the reasoning you could explain to a friend. If a closer clinic meets the standard as well as we do, choose it. The FAQ and the cost guide give you the questions.
If it were our own family
We'd book the free consultation, bring the same questions we'd take to any clinic, and choose the reasoning we could explain — knowing the drive from Westwood Plateau is one we'd make twenty times.
