Which Edmonton?
in Edmonton Alberta I can't recommend one for in the city, but a FANTASTIC one in St. Albert (just north of edm, not a big commute) is Dr. Popowich at Popowich Orthodontics. You don't need a referral, he's fantastic. He explains everything so well, personalizes everything and is easy to talk to if you have questions, if an emergency arises etc. I have not a single negative thing to say about him, his office or treatment. All of it is excellent!

Do you mean do they use the ceramic brackets with doors? The answer is yes. Unfortunately they brought these in after I started treatment so I still have the "old school" ceramics on top and damon brackets on the bottom. If you haven't already, check out their website, I included it in my first reply.
