Dr. Lemay III (Dr. Jules) was born in Sherbrooke. He obtained his Dentistry degree from McGill University in 1984. He then worked for one year in northern Quebec and the Canadian arctic region as a general dentist on Indian reservations and Inuit villages before undertaking a specialty in orthodontics in the United-States.

After two years of studying orthodontics at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, he received a clinical research award and obtained his certificate in orthodontics in 1987. Following graduation, he joined his father’s orthodontic practice, already established in Sherbrooke. His practice has since been limited to orthodontics. Dr. Lemay  also:

• is  one of the few Quebec orthodontists (less than 10%) to have passed the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) examination process giving him the prestigious title of « ABO Diplomate » considered to be the highest recognition of clinical competence in North America;
• is a Fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada (RCDC), an organization established to promote high standards of specialization in the dental profession and to recognize properly trained dental specialists;
• is an orthodontic examiner at the RCDC national annual examination sessions that are part of the requirements for licensure for those seeking licensure as dental specialists in Québec or Canada;
• for more than 15 years,  has been a guest lecturer in orthodontics at the Faculty of Dentistry of McGill University in Montreal and  at the Centre de Formation Professionnel 24-Juin in Sherbrooke in the Dental Assisting program;
• lectures regularly for orthodontic and dental students, Dental Societies and various associations and study groups.

Dr. Jules E. Lemay

As one of the first orthodontists to have graduated in this province of Quebec, Dr. Lemay may be considered a « pioneer » in the specialty of orthodontics in Quebec. This gives our practice the distinct honor of being one of the earliest established orthodontic practice in the province of Quebec and even Canada. Dr. Lemay was the first orthodontist in Quebec to practice outside the main urban areas such as Montreal and Quebec city.

Although he doesn’t treat patients anymore, his invaluable experience and expertise make Dr. Lemay a invaluable and resourceful consultant for our practice. Dr. Lemay is still eager to maintain his orthodontic knowledge up to date and he regularly attends lectures, conventions and seminars with Dr. Jules. He is also actively involved in integrating the new technologies that we implement in our practice.

We are proud to be now treating a third generation of patients. Some of our patient’s parents and grand-parents were also treated by Dr. Lemay! Referring family members and friends to us for orthodontic care shows the implicit trust our former patients have in our services.

Our practice was established more than 50 years ago. We are now treating a third generation of patients. Thanks for your continuous support.
