Orthodontist in Cambridge Ontario — Dr. Firas Khakani’s Second Practice for Braces and Clear Aligners

You live in Cambridge, your dentist recommended orthodontic treatment, and you searched “orthodontist cambridge ontario” because you want a qualified specialist close to home—not a drive to Kitchener or Hamilton after every shift.

Dr. Firas Khakani, a master’s-level orthodontist and ClearCorrect Key Opinion Leader, practices in Cambridge in addition to his main Hamilton clinic. This post explains what treatments are available, why his credentials matter for your outcome, and how to book a Cambridge consultation without driving to Hamilton.

Why Dr. Firas Practices in Both Cambridge and Hamilton

Kevin, a 46-year-old from Hespeler, needed orthodontic treatment for moderate crowding. His general dentist in Cambridge referred him to an orthodontist in Kitchener. The referral card sat on his desk for three weeks because the drive to Kitchener after work—especially in winter—felt like another obstacle in a process he was already postponing.

When Kevin finally searched for a Cambridge option, he found Dr. Firas.

Dr. Firas established his Cambridge practice for exactly this reason: patients from Cambridge, Kitchener, Waterloo, and Guelph were driving to Hamilton for orthodontic care because they wanted his specific expertise—a master’s degree in orthodontics, 20-plus years of experience, and a ClearCorrect KOL designation that general dentists in their area couldn’t offer. The Cambridge location brings that same expertise closer to home.

What stays the same across both locations:

• Dr. Firas plans and oversees every treatment personally

• The same treatment options: ClearCorrect, Invisalign, ceramic braces, metal braces

• The same credentials: master’s degree in orthodontics, ClearCorrect KOL designation

• The same approach: honest recommendations based on your case, not what’s most profitable

What’s different: The Cambridge location serves patients from Cambridge, Kitchener, Waterloo, and Guelph with appointments scheduled on specific days. The Hamilton location at James Street South operates Monday through Thursday and Saturday. When you call to book, tell us you want the Cambridge location and we’ll schedule you on the appropriate day.

Why Provider Credentials Matter — What a Master’s Degree and KOL Status Mean for Your Treatment

Orthodontics in Ontario can be provided by two types of practitioners: general dentists who have taken continuing education courses in orthodontics, and dentists with advanced degrees specifically in orthodontics.

Dr. Firas holds a master’s degree in orthodontics from Danube University, earned in 2014 after completing a high diploma in orthodontics in 2004 and his BDS in 1996. This means his entire post-graduate education focused on how teeth move, how to plan complex cases, and how to manage complications. This is different from a general dentist who offers orthodontics after a series of weekend courses.

In 2025, ClearCorrect named Dr. Firas a Key Opinion Leader and Speaker for North America. ClearCorrect awards this designation to a small number of providers who demonstrate advanced proficiency with aligner therapy and contribute to educating other dentists. When you choose ClearCorrect with Dr. Firas, you’re choosing a provider the manufacturer has recognized as one of the best at using their system.

What this means for your case:

• Your treatment plan is designed by someone who has studied orthodontics at the master’s level, not someone who learned aligner therapy at a weekend seminar

• Complex cases that general dentists refer out are Dr. Firas’s daily work

• If your case is better suited to traditional braces than aligners, you’ll hear that honestly—not a sales pitch for whichever system is easier for the provider

What Orthodontic Treatments Are Available at the Cambridge Practice

The same full range of orthodontic treatments available in Hamilton is available at the Cambridge practice:

ClearCorrect in Cambridge: The $3,999 all-inclusive ClearCorrect treatment available in Hamilton is the same price in Cambridge. For complete details on what this includes, see our ClearCorrect treatment page.

Single-arch treatment: If only your upper or lower teeth need correction, single-arch treatment costs approximately 60–70% of the full treatment fee. Dr. Firas will advise if single-arch treatment is appropriate for your case.

The recommendation process: Dr. Firas examines your teeth, takes a digital scan, and recommends the treatment that will produce the best outcome for your specific case—not the one with the highest price tag. If ClearCorrect at $3,999willgiveyouthesameresultasInvisalignat$6,000, he tells you that. If your case complexity requires traditional braces, he tells you that too.

What Orthodontic Treatment Costs at the Cambridge Practice

Treatment costs at the Cambridge practice are the same as the Hamilton practice. The cost depends on which treatment you choose and your case complexity, not which location you visit.

Payment plans: Red Rose Dentistry offers in-house payment plans with no credit check, no interest, and no third-party financing. A typical plan is 30% deposit with the balance divided into equal monthly payments across your treatment timeline. For full details on how payment plans work, see our payment plans guide.

Insurance: Most Ontario dental insurance plans with orthodontic coverage pay 50% up to a lifetime maximum of $2,000–$3,000. We submit a predetermination to your insurer before treatment so you know your exact out-of-pocket cost.

What to Expect at Your Cambridge Orthodontic Consultation

Your free consultation at the Cambridge practice takes about 30–45 minutes. Here is what happens:

You’ll discuss your goals. What bothers you about your smile? What do you want to achieve? This drives the treatment recommendation.

You’ll get a digital scan. An intraoral scanner captures a 3D model of your teeth in about five minutes. No physical impressions. No goop. No gagging.

You’ll see a simulation. Dr. Firas shows you a preliminary projection of what your teeth can look like after treatment.

You’ll receive a written plan. Your exact all-in cost, payment plan options, estimated timeline, and a specific treatment recommendation. You leave knowing exactly what this will take and what it will cost.

There is no pressure. No follow-up sales calls. No limited-time offers. Take the plan home, discuss it, and book when you’re ready.

Questions Cambridge Patients Ask About Orthodontic Treatment

Is the Cambridge practice a full orthodontic practice or just a satellite office?

The Cambridge practice provides the same orthodontic treatments as the Hamilton practice. Dr. Firas sees Cambridge patients personally for consultations, treatment planning, and progress checks. The difference is scheduling—Cambridge appointments are on specific days. When you call to book, we’ll schedule you on the appropriate Cambridge day. If you need an appointment on a day Dr. Firas isn’t in Cambridge, the Hamilton clinic is available as a backup.

Can I switch between the Cambridge and Hamilton locations during treatment?

Yes. If you work in Hamilton but live in Cambridge, you can alternate locations as needed. Your treatment records are accessible at both locations. Just let us know when booking which location you prefer for each appointment.

Do you treat patients from Kitchener, Waterloo, and Guelph?

Yes. Dr. Firas’s Cambridge practice serves patients from across the tri-cities area and Guelph. General dentists in these cities regularly refer patients here for orthodontic care, particularly for complex cases and ClearCorrect treatment that benefits from his KOL-level expertise.

How is an adult orthodontic consultation different from a child’s?

The clinical assessment is the same—teeth, bite, bone health. The difference is the conversation. Adults typically have been considering treatment for years. They have specific concerns about appearance during treatment, timeline around life events, and budget. Dr. Firas addresses those concerns directly. For more on what to expect as an adult patient, see our guide on getting braces as an adult.
