About Us - Our Philosophy

Our Philosophy

Great Lakes Orthodontics of Petoskey and Gaylord is a multi-generational orthodontic practice that has been serving Northern Michigan for over fifty years. We specialize in orthodontic treatment for adults and children using the latest technology and treatment modalities.  We are proud partners in our local communities and strive, each day, to create transformational smiles.

​

We understand the importance of a great smile and work to develop individualized plans for each of our patients based upon their specific esthetic and functional needs.  Our goal is to diagnose, educate, and provide a detailed treatment plan from start to finish.

​

Our practice philosophy is simple. We will treat you or your child like a member of our family and only recommend treatment that we would provide a family member.

​

We have two convenient locations in downtown Petoskey and Gaylord. At each location, you’ll find the same high level of care and professionalism.  We look forward to the opportunity to meet you and/or your child!
