Meet Dr. Eggert Boehlau
Board-Certified Orthodontist | 30+ Years Creating Smiles
Dr. Eggert Boehlau is a board-certified orthodontist with over three decades of clinical experience. He is a graduate of the University of Toronto (1994) and holds two of the highest credentials in Canadian orthodontics:
- Fellow, Royal College of Dentists of Canada (RCDC) — a distinction awarded to specialists who demonstrate exceptional expertise and commitment to their field.
- Diplomate, American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) — the highest level of certification available to orthodontists in North America. Fewer than 25% of orthodontists hold this credential.
Since founding Orthodontics at The Wireworks in 1996, Dr. Eggert has treated over 15,000 patients across his Barrie and North York (Toronto) offices — from children and teens to adults seeking life-changing smile transformations.
A Different Approach to Orthodontic Care
Dr. Eggert’s philosophy goes beyond straightening teeth. His goal is to ensure every patient is not only satisfied with their final result, but genuinely happy with their entire treatment journey.
“A beautiful smile isn’t just about how your teeth look. It’s about confidence, health, and the experience of getting there.” — Dr. Eggert Boehlau
This patient-first philosophy is reflected in:
- In-house precision: Dr. Eggert invested in the Kinetica 3D Onsite Digital Lab, one of the few in-house digital labs in an Ontario orthodontic practice. This means faster appliance fabrication, tighter quality control, and no third-party markups.
- Comprehensive treatment options: From traditional metal braces to clear aligner therapy, aesthetic braces, and TADs — Dr. Eggert offers the full spectrum of modern orthodontic solutions.
- Specialist expertise: Unlike general dentists who offer orthodontic services, Dr. Eggert is a certified specialist with years of additional training focused exclusively on orthodontics, jaw growth, and bite correction.
- Surgically assisted cases: Dr. Eggert has extensive experience managing complex cases that require coordination with oral surgeons — a capability many practices refer out.
Why Choose a Board-Certified Orthodontist?
Not all providers who offer braces are orthodontic specialists. A board-certified orthodontist has completed:
- A university dental degree (DDS or equivalent)
- An additional 2-3 years of full-time specialty training in orthodontics
- Rigorous examinations by the Royal College of Dentists of Canada
- Board certification by the American Board of Orthodontics (optional, but demonstrates the highest commitment to the specialty)
General dentists may offer orthodontic treatment, but they typically lack this level of specialized training. When choosing a provider for braces or aligners, the difference in expertise can directly impact your treatment outcome.
