Smiles worth talking about
"I couldn't be happier with my daughter's experience at Embrace Orthodontics! The entire team is incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional. You can tell they genuinely care about their patients and take pride in their work. My daughter's smile turned out even better than I imagined. I highly recommend Dr. McLeod to anyone looking for top-quality orthodontic treatment!"
"Dr. McLeod is amazing, very professional, efficient and great with kids. The entire staff is great. I have been bringing my child there since she was 7, and every visit goes smoothly. I really love that they are not pushing any services and really seem to have the patient's best interest in mind."
"Our experience with Embrace Orthodontics and Dr. McLeod has been nothing short of exceptional. My 10-year-old daughter began treatment for a severe overbite, and the transformation is truly remarkable. Not only have her teeth and jaw improved significantly, but her confidence has changed in a way that feels almost magical. From the moment you walk in, you are welcomed like family."
"Entering the program my daughter had a cross and over bite. After a few months her teeth really responded to the expanders. Once she started on the aligners her teeth continued to move in the right direction, really correcting her bite. The entire team is extremely professional and masters at their craft. Thank you so much for everything."
"I got my braces off today, and I couldn't be happier! A huge thank you to Dr. McLeod, Tori, and the whole team at Embrace Orthodontics. Dr. McLeod always adjusted my treatment as my teeth changed, and I could really see the progress. Everyone was so friendly and professional. 100/100 if I could give more than 5 stars."
"Dr. Catherine is the absolute best, excellent at what she does! Very professional and compassionate. Beautiful office space with an up-to-date atmosphere, and amazing staff who are so friendly. It has been an amazing experience. Thank you!"
"I love my smile! Another orthodontist told me I'd need adult teeth removed, and I was so relieved that Dr. Catherine McLeod fixed my smile without removing any. She's awesome!"
"It wasn't long after being transferred to Dr. Catherine McLeod that I felt completely confident in her as an orthodontist. I recommend her to all my family and friends."
"I never thought my smile could look this good. I only wish I'd come sooner. The doctor and staff are so friendly and accommodating."

The 6-Seeds Growth Guidance Program
Plant the seeds for growing healthy, beautiful smiles, starting at age 6.
Dr. Catherine McLeod's own early assessment plan spots orthodontic issues before they grow into larger problems later. Six months to a year of early guidance may avoid removing adult teeth or jaw surgery in some cases. And yes, children are invited to bring their favourite stuffy friend to their first visit. Every Embrace kid also joins Sharkie's Smile Club, free, with stickers, small prizes and birthday smiles.

A warm welcome from me and my team, we cannot wait to meet you!
