Book your free consultation
Free for every patient, virtual or in person, with no referral needed and no obligation to proceed.

Choose the consultation that suits you
Both are complimentary and both put you in front of the specialist herself. Dr. Catherine McLeod will tell you whether treatment is needed, walk you through your options, and give you all the financial information up front. Most Halifax families are seen within a week of getting in touch, and you are welcome to bring the whole family along.
Virtual smile consult
Meet Dr. Catherine McLeod over Zoom from the comfort of home. She will explain whether treatment is necessary, give you options, and provide your financial information, so you leave with everything you need to get started.
In-person consultation
We examine your teeth, bite and jaws and take photos, x-rays and an intraoral scan. You will even see a free digital simulation of your new smile before you decide anything.
What to expect when you book
Getting started with an orthodontist should feel easy, so we have kept it simple. Once you send the form or call, our scheduling coordinator finds you a time that works, usually the same week, because there is no waitlist at Embrace Orthodontics and most new patients are seen within a week of getting in touch. You do not need a referral from your dentist, and there is nothing to pay for the consultation itself.
Your visit with Dr. Catherine McLeod is an unhurried conversation about your smile, not a sales pitch. She looks at your teeth, bite and jaws, takes any records that help, and explains clearly whether treatment would help and what the options are. If treatment suits you, you leave with a clear plan and an exact, written quote, including interest-free monthly plans from $149. You can read exactly what the free consultation includes before you arrive.
One thing worth doing first: have a dental exam and cleaning with your regular dentist within the six to twelve months before starting orthodontics, so your teeth and gums are healthy and ready. Prefer to begin from home? A virtual consultation over Zoom covers the same ground, and you can switch to an in-person visit whenever you like. If you have questions before booking, our frequently asked questions cover cost, timing and what to bring.
