Armbrecht & Wierenga Orthodontics

Armbrecht & Wierenga Orthodontics is a highly reputable orthodontic clinic located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with a history spanning over 50 years. The practice was initially founded by Dr. Gary Armbrecht in 1974, and the tradition of providing high-quality orthodontic care has continued with Dr. David Armbrecht (son of Dr. Gary Armbrecht), Dr. Mark Wierenga, and Dr. Katie Randall. The clinic prides itself on offering a warm, friendly, and comfortable environment for patients of all ages, from children to teens and adults. Many of their current patients are the children of former patients, highlighting the trust and satisfaction cultivated over decades. Armbrecht & Wierenga Orthodontics provides a comprehensive suite of orthodontic services tailored to individual needs. Their treatment options include: Traditional Metal Braces: A reliable and effective option for correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, and misaligned bites. Modern metal braces are smaller, lighter, and more comfortable than in the past. Ceramic Braces: A more discreet alternative to metal braces, using tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend in with the natural tooth color. They offer an aesthetic appeal while still being effective for various cases. Invisalign® Clear Aligners: A popular modern approach to straightening teeth using custom-made, virtually invisible plastic aligners. These aligners are removable, offering flexibility for eating and oral hygiene, and are suitable for many orthodontic concerns. Orthodontics for Juniors: Early evaluation and intervention are emphasized for younger patients to address potential dental and facial issues, often starting around age seven as recommended by the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO). Orthodontics for Teens: Personalized treatment plans are developed to achieve functional and aesthetic results for adolescents. Orthodontics for Adults: Addressing the growing demand for adult orthodontics, the clinic offers solutions for adults who wish to straighten their smiles, regardless of age. The clinic also utilizes modern technology, including intraoral scanning (eliminating the need for traditional impressions) and 3D X-rays for precise treatment planning. They have two convenient locations in the Grand Rapids area (Kentwood and Grandville) to better serve their patients. Armbrecht & Wierenga Orthodontics accepts various insurance plans and offers flexible payment options. Their commitment to patient satisfaction is evident in consistently positive reviews, highlighting the friendly staff, personalized attention, and effective treatment outcomes.
