About OUR ORTHODONTIST - Dr. CHRISTOS PAPADOPOULOS
Dr. Papadopoulos was born in Saint John, New Brunswick, raised in the Kennebecasis Valley (a graduate of KVHS) and completed his undergraduate degree (BSc Honours) at the University of New Brunswick Saint John campus. Following his time at UNB, Dr. Papadopoulos earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Dalhousie University in 2013 and received the Canadian Dental Association’s Student Leader Award.
He was then accepted into a general practice residency, with an emphasis in pediatric dentistry, at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC. In Vancouver, he worked as a dentist at BC Children’s Hospital and throughout the province delivering regular and emergency dental care to patients of all ages, but mostly served children with special needs and inpatient children in the hospital.
Subsequently, Dr. Papadopoulos was accepted into Western University's Graduate Orthodontic program where he earned his Master’s Degree in Orthodontics. Throughout the 3-year specialization residency he earned multiple awards and was also presented with the Lindsey O. Kesling Orthodontic Resident Scholarship award in San Diego, California at the American Association of Orthodontists Annual Scientific Session.
Following graduation, he wrote examinations to earn his specialist designation to become a Fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada, the American Association of Orthodontists, and the Canadian Association of Orthodontists.
Dr. Papadopoulos is actively involved with continuing education. He is the President of the Atlantic Orthodontists Association (AOA), is on the board of the Canadian Association of Orthodontists, and voluntarily serves as the Atlantic Regional Chair for "Smiles4Canada" -- a national non-profit foundation whose mission is to provide complimentary orthodontic treatment to children in need. The program has successfully provided free orthodontic treatment to almost 125 Atlantic Canadian children.
Internationally he has been selected and attended leadership conferences via the American Association of Orthodontists, including a Leadership Summit taught at the Disney Institute in Orlando, Florida. Through his experience and leadership in the orthodontic profession, Dr. Papadopoulos was selected by the Northeastern Society of Orthodontists (NESO) to serve on the NESO Board of Directors and also serve as the NESO representative on the Council of New and Younger Members for the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO). In 2021, he was also selected to serve on the American Association of Orthodontists' Council on Orthodontic Health Care. In 2023, he was selected to serve on the AAO's Council on Education.
In 2025, after concluding his 4 year term on the AAO's Council of New and Younger Members, Dr. Papadopoulos was appointed as one of 64 voting-member delegates of the American Association of Orthodontists, representing the interests of over 19,000 orthodontists. He is one of 12 delegates representing orthodontists in Atlantic Canada, Quebec and 7 states (New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island and Vermont).
Dr. Papadopoulos was also selected to lecture at the world's largest orthodontic conference (the American Association of Orthodontist's Annual Scientific Session) in New Orleans, Louisiana in 2024. He is the first New Brunswicker to ever speak at this international conference (which began in 1936) with over 10,000 attendees from around the world annually. Dr. Papadopoulos has also lectured to orthodontic residents and orthodontists in both Canada and the United States, including at the University of the Pacific in San Francisco, California and in Austin, Texas. In total, he has lectured to orthodontic residents from over 25 different orthodontic programs in the United States and Canada.
For the last three consecutive years (2022,2023, 2024), PapadopSmiles Orthodontics was voted "Best Dental Clinic" in "Saint John CommunityVotes" as well as "Best in Orthodontics". In June 2024, Dr. Papadopoulos was selected as the sole recipient of the Hellenic Heritage Foundation's 2024 'Outstanding Achievement Under 40' award.
Dr. Papadopoulos is also committed to staying current to the most recent advances in orthodontic modalities and technologies. Whether it be metal braces, ceramic (clear) braces, clear removable aligners (such as Invisalign), or 3D printing custom appliances and aligners, the orthodontic field is always advancing. He is the only Canadian orthodontist on the advisory board of Align Technology ("University and Early Career Advisory Board"), the parent company of "Invisalign".
Outside of the clinic Dr. Papadopoulos can be found spending time with family and is an avid fan of the Toronto Raptors, Montreal Canadiens and Seattle Seahawks. He enjoys traveling, reading about ancient Greek and Roman history, watching stand-up comedy, playing the drums and playing pickup basketball.
Dr. Papadopoulos is proud to be back in his hometown to provide specialist orthodontic care to the families of Quispamsis and throughout New Brunswick.
