There are a wide variety of reasons patients prefer orthodontic treatment with Invisalign® to traditional metal braces. One of those reasons is the system's adaptability to fit each person's lifestyle. If you live in or around Calgary, experienced Invisalign® provider Dr. Gordon Chee can advise you on the steps you should take for best results.

Do you suffer from recurring pain in your teeth, jaw or other parts of your face? To determine how a patient’s bite can affect his or her overall oral health, Calgary general dentist Dr. Gordon Chee has adopted T-Scan, a compact sensor device that facilitates accurate diagnosis by offering a full picture of forces at work in the bite.

While previous methods of diagnosing a misaligned bite only showed the “rest” position, digital bite analysis technology like T-Scan gives Dr. Chee the ability to assess the entire action of your bite for areas of extreme pressure, irregular...

Aesthetic Dental Studio has added two new devices to improve diagnosis and patient comfort. Calgary dentist Dr. Gordon Chee and his team now offer T-Scan technology for computerized bite analysis, as well as a Mind Alive device to help relax anxious patients.

Many people suffer through toothaches believing that the discomfort will eventually subside or fearing that treatment will be more painful than what they are already experiencing.
