Armbrecht & Wierenga Orthodontics

Armbrecht & Wierenga Orthodontics is a reputable and long-standing Orthodontic clinic serving the Grandville and greater Grand Rapids, Michigan area. Established by Dr. Gary Armbrecht in 1974, the practice has a history spanning over 50 years, now including Dr. David Armbrecht (Dr. Gary's son), Dr. Mark Wierenga, and Dr. Katie Randall. They operate from two convenient locations, one in Grandville and another in Kentwood/Grand Rapids. The clinic is dedicated to providing high-quality orthodontic care for patients of all ages, from juniors (starting around age seven, as recommended by the American Association of Orthodontists) to teens and adults. Their philosophy emphasizes treating patients at the ideal age to optimize results and avoid more complex interventions later. They are committed to personalized treatment plans, recognizing that "one-size-fits-all" does not apply to orthodontics. Services offered by Armbrecht & Wierenga Orthodontics include: Traditional braces: Standard metal braces for effective tooth alignment. Clear Ceramic braces: Featuring Radiance Plus™, described as the clearest ceramic twin bracket available, offering a more discreet alternative to metal braces. Invisalign® and ClearCorrect: Clear, removable aligners for a virtually invisible teeth-straightening experience. Early Orthodontic Treatment (Phase 1): Addressing dental and facial issues in younger children to guide jaw growth and eruption of permanent teeth. Teen Orthodontics: Tailored treatments to achieve functional and aesthetic results for adolescents. Adult Orthodontics: Offering solutions for adults who wish to straighten their smiles, emphasizing that it's never too late for orthodontic treatment. Airway Orthodontics: Though less detailed, this indicates a broader approach to oral health. Armbrecht & Wierenga Orthodontics prides itself on creating a warm, friendly, and comfortable environment for its patients. Reviews frequently highlight the welcoming atmosphere, the friendly and attentive staff, and the doctors' willingness to explain procedures thoroughly. They are known for providing personalized attention, assisting with insurance claims, and offering flexible payment plans. The practice also incorporates modern technology, including high-tech 3D imaging, intraoral scanning, and 3D printing. They emphasize that a doctor is seen at each visit, ensuring consistent, expert care. Many of their patients are referrals or returning patients from previous generations, attesting to their long-standing reputation for quality care.
