The Brace Space at Bedford
Bedford, NS, Canada 
This is probably the best place to go as they have the equipment and resources. Everything is clean and well maintained. I had my braces for almost 3 years and had to have gum grafts and teeth removal to achieve today's results. Even though we are given instructions at the beginning on what to eat and do or not, I felt on my own in between appointments and at the end. It would have been great to know more about what to expect regarding pain and have more tips to take good care of my teeth and braces, other than what is shown to us with the videos. But as I am resourceful, I was able to find ways to take care of that. I was disappointed on my last appointment as my braces just got removed, I didn't know I would have to wear a retainer full time for six month, it was really painful the next day to try the retainers on, my biting wasn't aligned (almost no contact on one side), and I've been given a plastic bottle filled with candies full of refined and artificial ingredients. I would have prefer a big juicy local apple to bite into honestly. But my biting is being taken care of. I'll have to wear Invisaline for 2 months and then the retainers again. This is a long journey, but I made this choice and despite all the challenges, I'm happy and satisfied. I've been told that everything will be done until I am completely satisfied and all situations resolve. That counts for a lot. In the end, this is all worth it.
Amazing clinic! The staff and doctors at Clinic were so kind, professional, and friendly with my boys. They made them feel comfortable and cared for. Highly recommend this clinic to any parent looking for great care and amazing staff.
After I started my Invisalign treatment I struggled with homelessness and undiagnosed ADHD throughout. Doctor Davidson and the staff at the Bedford Brace Space made sure that I completed my treatment successfully, despite the financial issues I was facing after starting, and at no extra cost. Given the circumstances, it took around 5 years for me to finish my treatment (not these guys' fault; definitely mine + my unfortunate circumstances). At no extra cost, these guys helped me through to make sure I could afford to complete treatment, honoring the original quote which I had paid when my life circumstances were better.
I am forever grateful for this clinic making it so easy and as accessible as possible to get my teeth sorted. Years later I no longer suffer from regular cavities due to the impeccable spacing of my teeth. They're so much easier to take care of. This is an investment and time commitment you absolutely should be making with these guys because they genuinely care about delivering outcomes. I feel bad that all I can do is leave a Google review now when the wonderful staff here and Dr. Davidson have helped me so much.
I loved my experience with The Brace Space in Bedford/Larry Uteck. Each appointment I left feeling 100% sure I was well taken care of, and also left with an ego boost for sure!
Dr. Davidson is so impressive and her skills are presented so naturally. Hearing her confidently go over each step of the process, and knowing everything like the back of her hand, was reassuring I was in the right place.
We love to see women succeed; the other women in the office were outstanding, kind, and just the boost of positivity you need in the morning. I wish them all the best.
(Especially Kat, you are the sweetest!)
