Clear aligners, braces and early treatment in Kenora.

Orthodontics for kids, teens and adults, plus myofunctional therapy, TMJ care, dental hygiene and Botox, all in our Keewatin office. Specialist care without the drive to Winnipeg or Thunder Bay.

Clear Aligners for teens and adults

Dr. McFarlane has attained the highest level of education and experience available in clear aligner treatment. Nearly invisible, removable for meals and photos, and planned digitally from your very first visit. If you have wondered whether aligners could work for you, the answer starts with a complimentary consultation.

Traditional Braces trusted since 1992

Braces remain one of the most dependable ways to achieve straight teeth and a proper bite. Dr. McFarlane has been treating children, teens and adults with braces for more than three decades.

Early Treatment assessments from age 7

Some concerns are far easier to correct while a child is still growing. If you are wondering about the placement of your child's teeth, we will assess whether early interceptive treatment would help.

Myofunctional Therapy with Kellie

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) retrains tongue and facial muscle habits that affect breathing, swallowing and tooth position. Kellie, our hygienist and myofunctional therapist, guides every program.

TMJ Care diagnosis and relief

Jaw pain, clicking and tension headaches often trace back to the temporomandibular joint. Dr. McFarlane and team are highly experienced in diagnosing TMJ disorders and relieving the symptoms.

Dental Hygiene right in our office

Yes, we offer the full range of dental hygiene services, so cleanings and check-ins can happen in the same warm office where your orthodontic care lives.

Botox offered since 2018

Dr. McFarlane has provided Botox treatments since 2018, one more way the practice serves patients and the wider Kenora community.

Complimentary Consultations no referral necessary

Every new patient starts with a complimentary consultation in our renovated Keewatin office. Call 807-57SMILE and we will find you a time.

Do I need a referral from my dentist to see an orthodontist?

No. You can contact Kenora Smiles directly at 807-577-6453 to book a consultation. No referral is necessary.

How much does an orthodontic consultation cost?

Nothing. Every new patient consultation at Kenora Smiles is complimentary.

At what age should my child first see an orthodontist?

We recommend an orthodontic assessment around age 7. Many concerns are far easier to address while a child is still growing, and if no treatment is needed yet, we will simply monitor and let you know when the timing is right.

Do you offer clear aligners in Kenora?

Yes. Kenora Smiles offers clear aligner treatment for both teens and adults, and Dr. McFarlane has attained the highest level of education and experience available in clear aligner orthodontics.

Are traditional braces still a good option?

Absolutely. Braces remain a dependable, precise way to achieve straight teeth and a proper bite. Dr. McFarlane has treated children, teens and adults with braces since 1992.

Yes. Dr. R. Bruce McFarlane is a board-certified orthodontist who earned his Masters Degree in Orthodontics from the University of Western Ontario in 1992, and he remains an active teacher and researcher in the field.

Am I too old for orthodontic treatment?

No. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, and we treat many adults with both clear aligners and braces. A complimentary consultation is the easiest way to learn what is possible for your smile.

What is myofunctional therapy?

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) retrains the tongue and facial muscles involved in breathing, swallowing and rest posture. These habits can affect how teeth develop and hold their position. Kellie, our hygienist and certified myofunctional therapist, delivers OMT programs at Kenora Smiles.

Yes. Dr. McFarlane and team are highly experienced in diagnosing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and relieving symptoms like jaw pain, clicking and tension headaches.
