West Shore Orthodontics exists to provide the highest level of patient-centered care for the people of Southern Vancouver Island. Our mission is not only to better your bite, but to also to better the community we love, the West Shore and Langford. Our passion is the art and science of orthodontics, providing braces, Invisalign, and more! Our minds are invested in the details of crafting your smile, but our hearts are invested in seeing you smile.
Welcome to West Shore Orthodontics!
Our Mission
Why West Shore Orthodontics?
West Shore Orthodontics is an owner-run orthodontic clinic. This means our owner, Dr. Ayers, is a part of the community, and works full time at our office. As an owner run, single-location clinic, you will be seen by Dr. Ayers at each visit, allowing for consistency in your orthodontic care. As an added benefit, our non-corporate, non-franchised practice model, will allow you to get to know our team over the course of your treatment. At WSO, we know the importance of a team, and we strive to make you and your family feel like part of ours!

Meet Dr. Evan Ayers
Dr. Evan Ayers completed dental school at the University of Manitoba in 2010 and was an experienced general dentist prior to becoming an orthodontist. In late 2017, Dr Ayers made the decision to make beautiful Vancouver Island his permanent home and open WSO. He approaches orthodontics in the same manner as everything else in life—with passion and a commitment to excellence, all while remembering that it’s important to have some fun along the way.
