Dr Couto and her team are very good. They really helped correct my daughters teeth to prepare for her adult teeth and everything went very smoothly. I will always wholeheartedly recommend FVO and Dr Couto to anyone who may need Ortho.

We chose Dr. Couto after seeing a total of four orthodontists for initial consults and have been BEYOND thrilled with our decision (this decision also meant for the first few years before she moved to Langley we drove from Langley to Maple Ridge just to see her!). Dr. Couto has provided orthodontic care to both of our daughters and has made very personalized recommendations for each of their unique needs. Our experience with Dr. Couto and her staff has been amazing. We HIGHLY recommend her and her team. Dr. Couto has a genuine desire to care for your child and provide the best treatment possible. She is kind, reassuring, confident and highly skilled. My oldest daughter had some complex jaw issues and our goal was to avoid surgery. Well….. my daughter has not only avoided surgeries, but now looks amazing. Her bite is perfect and at 13, she is nearly finished her treatment! Thank you Dr. Couto!!!!!!!

I saw Dr. Couto in Burnaby at Burnaby Heights Orthodontics. The office is really nice with lots of free parking. My consultation was with Dr. Couto herself. They offered me a flexible payment plan with no interest. The office staff gave me an office tour. I will be starting my braces treatment soon. I look forward to starting my treatment!

Dr. Couto is the most competent, knowledgeable, patient and kind orthodontist I have ever come across. She is so thoughtful in her communication and her approach is meticulous. I highly recommend Dr. Couto as your go to for braces or Invisalign- save yourself the time money and get it right the first time by working with a highly skilled Orthodontist! She’s always on time, listens to what her patient wants and sets the right expectations of what is possible. I truly have felt in incredible hands working with her and gotten me amazing results with constant compliments on my smile, thanks Dr. Couto!

Being an adult and having braces for the second time was not an easy choice. I resurched and had over 8 different consultations with orthodontists all over the Lower Mainland. Dr. Couto and her staff are simply amazing! Very accommodating, knowledgeable and most importantly charismatic. I will be having jaw surgery and the team at Dr. Couto's offic(s) have be a godsend in aiding this journey. They have gone to bat for me and ensured the highest quality of care. I woun't have gone through with the much needed surgery without the support of their team. I would highly recommend Dr. Couto amd her team. They are wonderful, i always leave with a smile and lifted spirits.

Dr. Couto was extremely patient with my kids, who had all sorts of questions about teeth and dentists and braces. I felt like they were welcomed rather than just tolerated.

Biography

Meet Dr. Michelle Couto Being an orthodontist enables me to watch my patients' self-confidence grow. As their smiles develop and their external appearance changes, the effect that has internally on their self esteem is beyond words. Providing this wonderful gift to a patient is, for me, the most important aspect of my job, and makes being an orthodontist worthwhile! Education and Continuing Education For my orthodontic education, I first attained my DMD from Nova Southeastern University, before graduating from Loma Linda University with my MS in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics. As with most professions, orthodontics is always changing and evolving with new methods and technologies. In order to provide my patients with high quality services, I always strive to keep abreast of the latest proven orthodontic procedures. As a part of my continuing education, I regularly attend the Invisalign Summit, Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontics and American/Canadian Association of Orthodontics Conventions. I am also an active member of the Northwest Dental Study Club. In the Office I truly enjoy the patient interactions I experience every day, as well as the puzzles and challenges involved with unraveling a malocclusion. Of course, my favorite part of my job is watching my patients as they develop a greater sense of self-esteem with their developing smile. I help to provide patients with a gift for life that will enable them to have that fabulous smile for a great first impression! Our office is fun and modern. My team and I strive every day to provide an excellent patient experience and wonderful customer service. We want you to feel at home here, and want your orthodontic visits to be comfortable and positive! The best dental advice I love to give my patients is to wear retainers and Invisalign aligners! From Dr. Couto I grew up in Kitimat, British Columbia, and love living in Coquitlam! I enjoy traveling with my husband, Jeffrey. I used to be a figure skater and love fitness... as well as cooking... and ice cream! I think it is very important to help those in need. That is why I am involved with the run for a cure to promote Breast Cancer Awareness. For the past six years, I have also helped raise funds for the Children's Hospital.
