 Dr. Lyons achieved his doctorate of dental medicine at the University of Laval in
1989. In 1991 his relentless academic thirst shifted to focus on orthodontics. He began
his orthodontic training at the International Dental Institute in order to recognize and
treat orthodontic and orthognathic problems. He then participated in a comprehensive
course given by Dr. Richard Litt, the ex-chairman of the Department of Orthodontics of
the University of Detroit where he deepened his knowledge of facial growth and development. He
then graduated from the Mid-American Orthodontic society which has helped him to recognize and
treat problems such as temporomandibular joint disorders. Always seeking to improve his clinical
skills Dr Lyons trained under the instruction of Dr. Harry Green a teacher of the differential straight
arch technique, thus enabling him to do away with the limitations of headgear. He regularly keeps
himself updated by attending the world renown Kesling-Rocke facility in Laporte Indiana. Dr. Lyons
has spent over 750 hours of continuing education in the field of orthodontic dentistry. He has
gained escalating recognition for his plight and has consequently been invited to conferences, as a
speaker in the US and Mexico. He is certified by Align technologies as a competent user of the Invisalign
technique and is also qualified in using i-braces allowing him to practice lingual orthodontic
treatment. He presently works as a general practitioner in Châteauguay, Québec.
