Every orthodontist hears one question from their patients more than any other. When am I getting my braces off? It turns out that no one wants to wear their braces any longer than they have to. Everyone wants their treatment to move along as quickly as possible to that happy day when the braces come off. Then you can show off your great smile to its fullest.
We understand that feeling. Braces have never been more comfortable and they have never worked better at giving you a great smile. But a shorter time in braces is always better as long as you get that great result. Shorter orthodontic treatment time is better for the person wearing the braces - obviously. But shorter treatment also makes the parents happier - fewer visits to our office. Dentists and dental hygienists like shorter treatment times - less time with the braces interfering with tooth brushing.
We know how much you, and your family, and your dentist want your orthodontic treatment to move quickly to that great smile. We want exactly the same things. We are not rushing, but we are doing everything we can to move things along quickly and efficiently to a great result. I often tell a person that their braces will be coming off soon - but not soon enough - we understand.
In later posts, I will be talking more about the things we do and our approach to shortening your time in treatment. It is one of the goals we are dedicated to in all of our orthodontic treatments.

About Me
- Dr. John Campbell
- I was born and raised in Winnipeg. Dentistry is in my blood. My grandfather, Fred Campbell, owned and operated a dental lab in Winnipeg. My father, Dr. William Campbell, or Bill, was an orthodontist until he retired in 1989. I used to hang around the office and I caught the bug. I graduated from The University of Manitoba with my D.M.D. in 1981. I spent one year interning at The Children’s Hospital Dental Program. I decided to be an orthodontist like my father – he loved his job and that was good enough for me. I received my orthodontic education at the University of Manitoba Graduate Orthodontic Program I love technology. More than technology, I am interested in getting better – I want to improve the service we provide to our patients, parents and their dentists, because a healthy smile is a team effort. My goal and that of my staff is never to stop getting better. I have two wonderful children. My daughter Alex is in third year Engineering at the University of Manitoba and my son Reid is in his first year of University and interested in geology. I am very happy that both of my kids are excited about the possibilities for education and technology as I am.
