Increasingly, we're finding a lot of Richmond Hill braces patients coming in to MCO Orthodontics asking for a specific type of clear braces. Many of them are looking for a fixed brace that is not particularly noticeable. There are many brands including Damon Clear Braces, 3M Clarity, and Ice Braces, but the one gaining market share at the fastest rate is American Orthodontics' Radiance Bracket. Here's why...



Traditionally, there has been a knock against clear ceramic braces taking longer than metal braces as well as being difficult to remove. With improved technology, Radiance braces will allow teeth to move as quickly as with traditional metal braces.



Here are a couple of additional benefits:

-Clear Polished Sapphire. Made with the second hardest mineral known to man, it will not fracture unlike other brands, and is an extremely strong bracket

-Predictable Debonding. Radiance bracket's patented Quad-Matte™ base allows for a strong bond in the center to hold the bracket in place, but a weaker bond on the outside to allow for easy debonding.

-Smooth Comfort. Radiance is smooth to the touch making them safe and comfortable for the patient.

-Invisible. Radiance braces are virtually invisible, allowing our patients the confidence to smile in work and social situations.

-No Staining. Radiance's monocrystalline structure and highly polished surface serve as barriers to undesirable staining elements.



For all of these above reasons, Radiance has become the "clear" choice for ceramic braces at MCO Orthodontics. To learn more, or schedule your complimentary consultation, please click here.

We are now happy to announce that the Invisalign in Toronto website has now gone live. Your MCO Orthodontics Markham team spent over half a year working on the content for this Invisalign, Invisalign Teen, and Invisalign Express site. Special thanks to a local Markham company, StakPrint, for their wonderful work on the website design!




It is a must see for anyone considering Invisalign, discussing the various products, before and after Invisalign, how to choose a doctor, and other information that you should read before starting treatment.

Remember that Invisalign is a technique, not a product. Book your Invisalign appointment request online and let us help you discover your MCO Invisalign Smile!

MCO Invisalign Orthodontics has rapidly become one of the most experienced and top offices of Toronto Invisalign patients from Markham, Richmond Hill, Stouffville, North York, and Scarborough. Dr. Jason K. Tam has become the choice orthodontist for many Invisalign patients, including dentists, dental hygienists, assistants, some driving up to 4 hours away and others who have come from overseas. He has been asked to speak nationally to orthodontists and dentists about the Invisalign invisible braces technique.

As a result of our Invisalign experience, we discovered that it would be helpful for our patients to see live procedures before they came in for them. For the benefit of potential Invisalign patients, we hired professional videographers from Silverpoint Media to film our team member, Mandy, undergo various parts of her Invisalign treatment.



We have four Invisalign procedure videos for your viewing. They will be best viewed from our YouTube page by double clicking on the video.

1. Invisalign PVS Impressions





2. Invisalign Insertion... the first day!





3. Placement of Invisalign attachments





4. IPR / Interproximal reduction / Slenderizing / Tooth filing



We hope that you will find these videos helpful as you begin on your way to a beautiful smile the Invisalign way! To schedule your free consultation for Invisalign, please click here.
