When choosing a treatment method for an orthodontic issue, you want to go with not only an effective treatment but also get the results you want as quickly as possible. Orthodontic treatment does not have any instant options, but some treatments are faster than others.
What Are the Surrey Orthodontic Braces Options?
For fixing teeth alignment issues, there are generally a few options that patients can choose between. First, there are the traditional metal bracket braces in Surrey. This treatment method uses metal brackets which are glued to the front side of teeth, with a wire run between them which puts tension on the teeth in the direction they should be moved.
Lingua braces are another option for patients to consider. What sets lingual braces apart from metal braces is that the brackets are placed on the inside of the teeth, making them more “invisible” compared to metal braces. Both of these treatment options work at about the same pace and have advantages as well as disadvantages.
A more recent option that continues to grow in popularity is going with Invisalign braces. These invisible aligners provide quick results, often working faster than conventional braces. They also carry other advantages, such as being removable, and being invisible when worn.
All of these popular options are effective treatment methods. While Invisalign has the potential to work the fastest, the actual treatment time can vary greatly from patient to patient, depending on how each mouth and tooth reacts to treatment.

Hello! I’m Dr. Kevin Lee, a certified orthodontic specialist at PacificWest Dental Group, proudly serving the vibrant communities of Vancouver and Surrey. My journey into orthodontics began back in high school. As a teenager wearing braces, I became fascinated by the intricate blend of art, engineering, and biology that defines this field. This early experience ignited a passion that has guided me throughout my career.
I pursued my academic journey at the University of British Columbia (UBC), where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry in 2006, followed by a Doctor of Dental Medicine in 2011. After a year-long residency at Montefiore Medical Center in New York, I returned to UBC to complete a combined Master of Science in Craniofacial Biology and a Diploma in Orthodontics in 2015. That same year, I achieved certification from both the Royal College of Dentists of Canada and the American Board of Orthodontics.
With over a decade of clinical experience, I remain deeply committed to staying at the forefront of orthodontic advancements. At PacificWest Dental Group, we prioritize personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs, ensuring comfort and care every step of the way. Our goal is to help you achieve the smile you’ve always dreamed of in a welcoming and supportive environment.
Outside the clinic, I enjoy engaging with our community and staying active. Whether it’s through local events or outdoor activities, I believe in building strong relationships both inside and outside the office. I look forward to meeting you and working together to create a beautiful, confident smile.
