Reynolds Orthodontics

Dr. Jamie Reynolds believes there’s more to orthodontics than straightening teeth. In his 20 years at Reynolds Orthodontics — the Novi, Rochester, Troy, and West Bloomfield offices he shares with Dr. Lizzy Biggs, Dr. Leah Vernacchia, and Dr. Jenn Bonamici — he has seen the bigger picture. “If we can change the way someone feels about their smile, it will have an impact on how confident they are,” he says. “That opportunity to change lives is what makes our job really special.”

“We treat each patient like they’re a member of our own family,” Dr. Vernacchia adds. “We’re honest about what needs to be done and the time it takes to do it.”

High on the list of priorities at the practice is avoiding unnecessary or invasive procedures. Dr. Vernacchia cites a study of national averages that reported 40 percent of orthodontic cases nationwide have at least two teeth removed. “In our office, it’s about 1 percent,” she says. She partially credits the Damon Braces System, a cutting-edge combination of a special brace design and wire technology that allows orthodontists to wield gentler forces with greater comfort.

Looking to avoid traditional braces? Reynolds Orthodontics is among the top providers of Invisalign and Spark, which uses removable, clear aligners. “It’s a great way for those who aren’t keen on the idea of braces to get a beautiful, healthy smile,” Dr. Bonamici notes. While great attention is paid to the health of their patients’ bites to ensure the overall lifespan of the teeth, Dr. Reynolds says they balance this with aesthetics. “We want to make sure we give each individual the most aesthetically pleasing smile possible,” he explains.

The doctors invite you to schedule a complimentary smile assessment at any of their four state-of-the-art locations.
