Dr. Catherine obtained her Dental Degree (D.M.D.) from Laval University in her home province of Quebec. After dental school, she completed a General Practice Residency program (GPR) at the Montreal Children’s Hospital within McGill University. During this one-year intensive dental training, she provided a full range of dental treatments to children and adolescents with complex dental problems and medical conditions requiring hospital-based dental treatments. She then traded the French East Coast for the Prairies to complete her specialty training in Orthodontics at the University of Manitoba. During these years, she obtained her Masters Degree (M.Sc.) while completing research on the Invisalign clear aligners. After working in an Invisalign-exclusive orthodontic practice in Montreal for a few years, she is now back in the Peg for good! Dr. Catherine is also involved in teaching orthodontic residents at the University of Manitoba as an Assistant Professor.
Modern in her approach to treatment, her goal is to create a plan unique to each patient’s lifestyle. We know that you and your family will love her contagious enthusiasm, attention to detail and artistic touch she puts in every smile she designs.

This discreet design allows you to straighten your teeth without anyone knowing that you are currently undergoing treatment.

When it comes to dental care, many people are quick to invest in Invisalign braces. After all, they offer a number of benefits over traditional metal braces – they’re practically invisible, removable for eating and cleaning, and comfortable. However, what many people don’t realize is that Invisalign braces are not perfect – and that can cause a lot of issues for some patients.

When you think about orthodontics, chances are pretty high that you imagine metal wires and brackets. While these tools of the trade still play a part in today's orthodontic practices, they're far from the only option available for straightening teeth. Another option, one that is gaining more attention by the day, is clear aligners.
