Cowichan Valley Orthodontics is an orthodontic practice located at 177 Fourth Street in Duncan, BC, serving patients throughout the Cowichan Valley region. The practice is led by Dr. Tyra Cross, Dr. Lucien Bellamy, and Dr. Jay Philippson, a team of orthodontists focused on delivering quality care for children, teens, and adults.

The clinic offers a range of orthodontic treatments to address alignment, bite, and spacing concerns. Patients can explore traditional braces as well as clear aligner options including Invisalign and ClearCorrect, making it easier to find an approach that fits individual needs and preferences. Beyond straightening teeth, the practice also provides surgical orthodontics for more complex cases, along with supportive appliances such as expanders, elastics, and retainers. Whether someone is just beginning treatment or needs ongoing retention care, the clinic handles multiple stages of the orthodontic process.

For many patients, the first step is a consultation to assess their teeth, jaw alignment, and overall oral health. From there, the orthodontists work with each person to outline a treatment plan and realistic timeline. Clear communication about what to expect during and after treatment is a practical part of how the practice operates.

Duncan sits in the heart of Vancouver Island's Cowichan Valley, and the Fourth Street location is accessible for residents coming from surrounding communities in the region. Patients traveling from nearby areas have a local option for orthodontic care without needing to go to Victoria or Nanaimo.

The practice has earned strong patient feedback, reflecting consistent satisfaction with both clinical outcomes and the overall experience. Scheduling an appointment can be done through the clinic's website at cowichanortho.com, where patients can also find more information about the available treatments and the care team.
